spies aren\t broken, iyts just made so that 100 spal can fail against 1 spal.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

not forgetting that you need to view that spyop to see target's weapons tech unless you are good at calcuiating how high weapontech target has based on weaptech points and land.

I play from my phone sice iphones came out. I got it down to a science of screen shots now:
-spy country (screen shot)
-calculate defense (screen shot)
-spy allies (screen shot)
-calc ally assistance (screen shot)
-calc total break +10% and let the dogs out.

My photos is full of screen shots of calculator screens and op screens. Lol

Comes in handy since you can keep record of who got def bonus' where in game doesn't.

Forces more emphasis on indies. Too many people expect good spy results and to keep good SPAL at higher acres with only subpar production builds.

I haven't knocked down any indy's all set, building more spies is not the answer when a high spal can fail 10x in a row on a low spal

You build very useful knowledge even over sets, you can figure patterns of attacks costs and gains and how different players evolve over time, comes very useful to maximize attack gains and improve the strategy.

If you're willing to invest the time

Back in the old days you could actually run a strictly spy country and be a force to be reckoned with! I miss some of the programming from days gone by.

all you peeps using a spreadsheet for something simple :P

I use a notepad

User to attack (#xx) Defense boost here
troops 1
turrets 2
tanks 4

total x weapons x gov x def bonus, Mod Defense

Allies
Ally user 1 (#xx) Total boost of points here 1
troops / 4
turrets / 2
tanks =

Ally user 2 (#xx) Total boost of points here 2
troops / 4
turrets / 2
tanks =

I add up user mod defense plus ally 1 and ally 2 then multiply by 1.15 (mehul,qz,pang)

takes me more time to get the ops then it does using numpad and windows calculator to add up points

absolutely everything in Windows calculator. Spy on allies add it up then copy to clipboard, return to target op add it up times the weapons or gov bonus then add ally defense from clipboard then times 1.1 divide by weap science or gov bonus. Attack success 99.12%

I think if I played from a pc I'd probably use an actual pen and paper notepad as I used to way back in the day. Since iPhones I've never used a computer to play, not to mention stop using computers all together for that matter. Lol

well there are people who don't understand how def allies work and oversend crazy for it

I shouldn't say anything and let them sift through threads and threads and threads across all forums but simple is.

Country total defense x gov bonus x weapons + def allies = break.
if they have defense bonus from vote points add that in before adding allies.
