Re: Supernova Round 8

He had me outsaved in every way so I thought I couldn't compete with him fleet vs fleet. So my goal was to drop down at start of war below his range, destroy some of my to get 75% con bonus, and then jump my fleet 2 ticks late. I hoped to catch him off-guard, and then have two choices: (1) outjump his fleet (especially after I checked to see how much fleet he initially built) with my improved con bonus and two extra ticks of income, or by his dropping down to get within my range; and (2) Catch him at lunch or offguard at start of tick (2 ticks after war began).

Unfortunately, I didn't know that the declaration o war took away the 60% protection, and the rest is history sad

Re: Supernova Round 8

I didn't know that either ... it's a real bad way to find out I guess

“Careful with that ego, you could knock somebody over."

Re: Supernova Round 8

haha a learning experience...win some lose some. I guarantee I won't make that mistake again but sad I wasn't able to test out the strategy properly...this time...

Re: Supernova Round 8

if you are the smaller guy in a cancel nap you should never declare war. one declaration from one side is all that is needed for the morale boost it gives. if both sides declare then they can hit much lower nw %'s. not sure how far it let's you hit but im guessing its quite low. probably 40%.

144

Re: Supernova Round 8

if it didn't change in the last rounds, it's still 25% but below 35% you blow up the planets.

after the first clearance of the shared systems I dropped some fleet. so I was able to capture the planets that were 1 tick away.
than I dropped a bit more so I could do a 3rd wave, but war is over.

I easily could have taken more, but I don't want to destroy his round for making a tactical mistake...

Re: Supernova Round 8

I'm writing this all down in my word document for next time lol. My first supernova round...don't hve to worry about all this stuff with Orion lmao

Re: Supernova Round 8

However...this will not be the last you all hear from me this round

Re: Supernova Round 8

I guess i'll just infrawhore till the end of the round since no one wants to fight me:p

Re: Supernova Round 8

Ill fight ya!  But I am too small.  tongue  And I would die.

149

Re: Supernova Round 8

if you're way too small and have less planets you would kill my morale:p

Re: Supernova Round 8

Rank      Family      Planets      Networth       Score
1    WiWi (397) [10,5]    202    2930806    13782   
Well again WiWi is running the show with infra he may not be in top lists ATM in cash but that's only because he has just come out of a war with #366 do he is sitting on some major fleet don't piss this guy of right now is my advice tongue. Very good spread and his activity is second to none! Think he gained around 50 or so planets from his war so a lot of fresh planets there to pump his infra. I'm going to say this is the guy to beat! Winner of the round
2    Do not panic. I come in peace. (413) [55,43]    197    2574687    14269   
Right firstly I'm going to say this panic he does NOT come in peace! I'm not saying who this is but it's pretty obvious if you have been playing ic for a while! Again very good spread and good activity. He has controlled the cash all round with his popping and not letting it go easily, and i expect that pop to be very well defend. I'm going to say he is going to finish a very very close 2nd sorry tongue
3    BMS (365) [71,55]    213    2542307    12257   
Well I'm not to sure what to say tbh. My last PvC I thought he cut corners to get up here but I'm going to say he has a pretty solid infra and a very good fleet. I still feel he has a pretty compact and spread which is perfect for defence but a little harder to launch these attacks. Saying this I know this guy can attack so I'm not writing him off I'm going to say top 5
4    Brazil 2014 (430) [42,75]    215    2115379    14152   
Slowly getting up the ranks. Got very good spread and his Econ is Pretty good in most of the top list in the gal, Still the vote is out here on weather it can be sustained or if he will self implode tongue Got a very big p-count just hope there is enough defence for his spread big_smile with good diplo I'll say top 10 still lol
5    The Sith (416) [67,35]    234    2095032    13030   
Ok well I saw him do a raid earlier but can't remember on who though so pretty aggressive kind of guy nice big spread here so has a nice long reach. Highest P-count in the galaxy and I'm guessing quite a few will be empty planets so watch this guy jump back up soon his Econ is good moving nicely so a strong guy here. This is hard but I'm going to say he will finish around 6-7
6    Hangovers (421) [71,7]    188    2037909    13351   
Right I still log on and check for this guy all the time he scares me at times with how aggressive he is lol his Econ had been suffering at the moment but I suspect it won't be for long his spread is impressive and his p-count is very good ad well. I know this guy can attack so watch him rise quick soon I'm going to say he will finish 3-4th.
7    ~~ Astra ~~ (433) [78,19]    191    1932010    12624   
Been growing nicely and catching up pretty well. Now I know who this guy is but is not very well known to most people. He can attack but I'm not sure what will happen if WiWi comes and says hello but I'm guessing there is some sort of NAP there tongue he has very good spread also and is still spreading a solid player here. 5th-10th I think
8     (428) [30,11]    170    1756054    9961   
Right this guy has me speech less at times his Econ is solid one of the very best in the gal. The only thing I worry for is he has not built enough defence to catch up thus quick. If he has then I'll be amazed! His spread is tight will be hard to break down but I think it will be hard for him to attack others either. Top 10
9    The return of the Aquabats (426) [33,43]    179    1633295    11927
Ok not one of the strongest econs out there but he has some very good spread. He has a nice healthy strong fleet to kick some people if he chooses to which will keep him safe while he works on it make no mistakes if he doesn't build Econ the fleet he has now will not be good enough when the boys above come sniffing. I think a solid 12-15
10    RockNRolla (407) [50,61]    198    1632595    12207   
Ok one of my favourite family's and people this round and I have a few big_smile I like this guy he knows how to attack and knows how to infra whore but has kept his NW low so he stays in certain peoples ranges. Has a an incredible spread which will make him one awkward person to attack and his P-count is Hugh. I'll say around 10th but I don't think he is going for NW win tongue
11    We1Rd WaLD0 (439) [50,19]    150    1539040    12400   
Decent Econ here but has been very sloppy in the past 24-36 hours he needs to up his game to stay where he is! But decent p-count and a nice little spread so not a easy nut to crack, has been falling in the rankings lately so I think his activity has dropped if so staying in the top 15 would be an achievement!
12    Doctor Who (408) [27,36]    158    1534032    7797   
Right he has an amazing spread but lacking on his Econ if he can refocus his efforts on jumping his infra for a few days he will be jumping up the list quick. My only fear is his spread is mixed in with a few of the other top players so not to sure he has the time to jump that infra. Again 10-15th would be good
13    Spackler (374) [53,52]    159    1293781    9206   
This guy needs to jump that infra quick I think he is a little fat for that p-count v NW and he has spread across a little in the middle. Got to be aware that he is probably out of range of the top few guys so needs to play smart here. He knows how to attack or at least be a persistent retaker at least so will be an annoying target so no free planets here mid teens I think for this guys finish.
14    BoneCrusher (376) [33,74]    95    1265605    7797   
FINALLY the reason why I did a PvC for the top 16 lol. Right if you don't know who this is then I warn you do not think this is a easy target! His round was screwed by some guy at SoR but is now starting to recover excellently needs to do what he does best and spread to be able to start those attacks, we all know he can attack so if you see this guy pop up in a lot of your systems start building fleet tongue his NW v Pcount is small so very slimline I'm still hopeful and I'm saying at least top 10 maybe even top 5
15    Ol' Dirty Chinese Restaurant (393) [41,65]    115    1246779    6183   
Not sure who this is but he is in a few of the top lists so his even is pretty good not sure about his attacking power but I know when someone came knocking he had no reply so for me I think he us trying to infra whore his way in to the top 10 I'm afraid that will fail my friend but good luck mid teens again as I don't see no attacking thrust here.
16    KuwaitsArmy (366) [15,76]    161    1245323    11847   
Ok one of my other favourite players! There was 2 guys I said would be in the top 10 come EOR and this is one of them! His Econ is hurting right now after his war with WiWi which you can probably guess did not go well. But he will recover and I have faith that he will. Still an amazing P-count so will be back in the top 10 very quickly! 5-10 at least and you have a fan in me big_smile
