The situation

Wow, that's screwed up, Raspo.

Not always preferrable, but usually ya.  Thats why you need to have great communication between the two of you.

It's done for networth purposes - to split the figs and ground guy.  Each has their own dedicated role and tasks to do for the war.

Eg, if you'd have 3m figs and 5m droids, that puts one attacker at 14m networth.

But if you split say, 2.5m figs, 500k droids on one guy, and 500k figs and 4.5m droids on the other guy ....thats 8m nw on the fig guy, and 6m nw on the ground guy.  This way, the both of you can attack lower networth people.


It's also done somwhat for morale.  You don't want your ground guy to be wasting morale having to check for figs or fig running someone.

Also, if you split the fleet equally, 50-50, then you're giving away an advantage to have fleet superiority.

Moral of the story?

Don't break NAPs, dont try to find loopholes, don't void them for no reason or just a whim.

Enjoy the opportunity to build mass fleet for once and go bash each other big_smile - it's fun as hell!

Okay, so had a bit of a skirmish last round - and I wrote a bit of commentary just so that you new-age attackers can see, that a proper NAP war is the funnest thing you can experience in IC.

Just posting here so you guys can see how things happened ...it was fun for me big_smile ...(but yes, its really nerdy -_-)

More people need to do this, and you'll realise how awesome it is smile

Torqez vs Blue

Incase you were interested, we just had a nice little skirmish tongue  You can see the reports in Fam news, but they don't really paint a good picture

This is how a proper cancellation war is supposed to be like.  Anyway just explaining it for you guys a bit so you see how it went big_smile ...Lucky I was online to do what I needed to wink - i dindt know he jumped tho, so he had first strike.


Blue      Ivory Bow      12220749gc    50

I can't attack him cos I have no morale atm, having cleared Ultraviolet.  So playing defense for now.  Bound to lose portals, but thats how its played.

Bang! I unstation my figs, he doesn't suspect at all and sent in full fleet.  Got to have taken a hit there on trannies and ground.  He still has plenty that land, so takes the planet still.  No worries, dmg to fleet is more important, I still have plenty of portals near him.

Since I pulled my figs on him, he wants to try run them again (having taken losses on droids).  I had stationed them again, so he hits nothing.

I unstation again, JUST in time big_smile ...again he sends full fleet in without thinking I would pull my figs.  Look at the droid loss now of mine.  First portal lost was 206k, this hit he only killed 58k.  Definitely took a hit on his ground twice.

Bang.  Full fleet unstation again.  Ofcourse at this point my figs are hurting, but he lost a lot of ground again as he fullfleeted.  He took the last portal, but not without having to go through my figs.

Blue = 2 Fig Hits, 5 Portals.  Torqez = 4 Fullfleet unstation.

Now to see networth drops of what he lost exactly smile

---------

That my friends is a lil example on how a battle can go in a NAP war.  It's fun as hell.  The only exhilerating thing in IC imo.  Because you don't know what's going to happen or how to handle it - and more importantly, it's all happening real time.

In summary I took 5 portal losses, but he had more fleet.  Meanwhile I unstationed on him where I could.  he did well to hit my figs twice.  In a proper NAP war if I was the main fig guy, I'd have enuff figs to wipe out his entire droid fleet in one go if i unstationed.  Similarly, if a Fig guy caught my figs, I'd lose 30% of all my figs on a max hit more than likely.  Either way, its fun and unpredictable and a lot of strategy behind it too smile

Entire wars are decided like this in the first tick, based on who handles their fleet the best.

Anyway, end result?

ye i lost all my fleet on ur figs :'(

I'm still trying to also get the NAP system revamped - so that at least we can cut out the people attacking early thing.  We were discussing this in IRC a later with a few of the old hats, we pretty much agree that the best thing in IC (gamewise) are NAP wars.  They can be so much fun if played right - and these days people don't know what it's all about.  Instead they either roll over if they're outsaved (though savings has only say 50% to do with it) or if they're the bigger fam, they just bash the small fam into quitting. 

We need proper wars back and then people can realise how fun it is again.  It's where there are so many more dynamics and skill levels - then it comes down to attacking not just being activity.  You need to have skill for those kinda wars.

Before they used to be common (in MW anyway).  But now too many people break/void/vmode/whatever to get out of it.  It's a war - it's fun, someone wins someone loses - its no reason to quit the game, and theres no reason to ask for everything from the family you just beat either. 

It's one of the most fun parts of IC which I'm hoping/trying to bring back.

Well, we've had a few minor changes (new race stats, new op, few ingame things) - as much as possible really.  But yea, number of players down dramatically - more so because of new games and different things people want now.

But yea, its fun to play if you can play - eg I log in from work - so its all good.  And IC always had it's community to keep ppl - the best part.

But yea, you should bring back some old buddies and put a team in for the ICC competition tongue - just for old times sake!
