was just going to mention that i got grabbed in express(a few times, but only noticed it once) and when i went to rebuild the ones that were destroyed.. i had all my acres built up.

so, not sure if the script for destroying enemy buildings is working correctly.

... That post has no bearing on the issue i brought up. I'm not a noob, have played this game for 11 years now.

I'm querying why a defender could lose so little military. Seems a very pro-netting policy.

you'd deserve 8mil troops to die if that were the case, llaar.

what i'm on about is that i sent roughly 11% more than was needed to break on a PS. Not only did I fail, but the defender had the stupidest lossess ever. can't say what military he did have, as it would break the rules

i know there's the gaussian(whatever) thingmagigger which basically means send 10% mroe and you have a better chance of breaking..

what i'm on about is the very small amount of military that the defender lost... in terms of power, i lost 8.8 times more jet power than the defender lost in turret power, yet i still failed.

Your forces return from * (#*) unable to penetrate their defenses!
You lost 192,000 Troops, 160,000 Jets and 50,960 Tanks, but killed 83 Troops, 29,782 Turrets and 5329 Tanks.

I do understand that this country was gs'd a lot, and i could have expected a bit less land if i had broken, but that shouldn't have meant that i lost nearly 9 times more military than him and still not break. Even if he maxed medical tech.

If this is how its supposed to work, should consider revising it,

Also, i thought GS was no longer going to affect land grab dim returns.

Anyway. Annoyed that i failed, but even more Annoyed at how epic a fail it was.

o yea.. forgot to say that the last time i properly played a round of express(maybe a month ago) it updated even if i was logged in, so it's some form of change that's happened.

and.. i said "it works fine" if you logout after selling and log back in later.. but i haven't actually confirmed that :P

if i'm logged in when my goods sell, when i go to the main menu to see what sold(recent news) it doesn't show.. i have to click the link for news and scroll to the bottom to see what sold since the last time i checked.

if i logout after selling, then log back in later, it works fine. i don't logout very often in express tho.

hrmz. i guess a 30 SPAL on 10k acres is a much better accomplishment than 30 SPAL on 1k acres depending on the way you look at it.

still think formula favors the defender too much. failing an op loses a hella lot of spies when u have a lot to begin with.

*shrug* I, and a lot of others, think that having spy powerful countries is and always has been a very big part of war mongering gameplay. if a country goes to so much effort to get loads of spies on an average bit of land and manages to get spy tech to a decent level, they should be able to get the op a lot more often than they already do.

i tried to get a normal OP on a country that I had ~ the same SPAL with(if not a bit higher) in express and failed 5x in a row.. that's unacceptable IMO =/

I'll be able to find it now, just a bit hidden because of the color. Pretty sure it was opera.

Anyway, might be worth using label tags around the text anyway.

Hmm. Tried on my phone and found it quite easilly.

Think the problem with the browser was that the checkbox has a black background. Can't remember if it was ff3.6 or opera 9. As i use both at work

so looks like there was a bug, but not one that could be abused, as all it did was cause confusion.

tho, some countries reinstated. guess alls well that ends well.

o yea.. i'm not looking to replace NW at all, just to maybe add a weighted score to NW for those countries that would rather play a bit less peaceful.

at least a ranking for top warmonger, maybe not even including the actual NW as part of the score, other than to comprise the multipliers. *shrug*

well. i'm willing to publish stats on my server if we can agree on a good equation for weighted NW.

tho, i don't think we should try and reward idiocy such as some 300k NW country that can pump out 500 attacks(not that I have seen this)

but, willing to help devise a good equation.. put about an hours effort into this one and it lead to nothing... not worth the time.
