Topic: Banker Raids

Hey lemme ask everyone....Is raiding unhonerable? Or is it a crucial part of teamwork in this game?
Because now im being called unhonerable because my family did a banker raid. Does this sound crazy or is it just me?

What do we have to do in this game not to be unhonerable....Not have war in this war game?

Should this be named Imperial Peace?

Re: Banker Raids

Nothing dishonorable about a banker raid, it's part of the game and atleast takes some teamwork to do properly atleast.  I think the issue only comes into play when it's getting excessive and it's getting close to farming a family

Re: Banker Raids

Dont let it bother you Smaugey. They person complaining obviously has no idea what this game is about. Banker raids is  part of a strategy to kill your enemies cash suply. If he got raided he should have been more prepared and his attacker(s) should have done a better job at clearing shares.

I would only say its unhonerable when you are farming a family.

Re: Banker Raids

Smaug haha noone thinks raids are dishonorable.

Raiding only to do damage giving up the attack fight when youve lobbied 30 hours for a non-destructible war lol- thats the dishonorable part

Re: Banker Raids

No such thing as a non-destructible war. Thats just stupid...nowadays families want the following in a war if they lose:

1. To pay as little planets as they can possibly do (they whine if it is over like 15-20%)
2. Not lose infra during the war
3. basically get out of the war without taking an actual loss other than pride.

I'm sorry, but the WHOLE point of warring a family is first to gain planets, and secondly knock the fam you just fought down the ranks enough so you wont have to deal with them again. It is to try and either move up ranks or to ensure you win.

Banker raids are vital to making fams want to quit fighting you. And they are extremely effective if done properly.

Screw your "non-destructive" hippy crap

Re: Banker Raids

there's always whining during a war. kind of a heat of the moment thing.


off course if you're hitting a fam that's just above your 35%nw limit, or if you  have been a bit too excessive( say 40-50% of all their planets and stuff. then yes it's unhonorable but not illegal.


it all depends from situation to situation. but if you raid a banker because he has below average defences or something that's kind of his fault.

you'll often go for the weakest link in a warraid. makes no sense taking on that one attacker with fleet twice your size if their is a banker with no portals, no ground and few lasers thinking he's safe because he's a banker....
