Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Recommended Posts

this is too funny. Bf, I will join you as soon as I understand this game.

 

Come on James! We need you on the front lines! The crew is only as strong as the weakest link...

 

Pull your weight or you will be demoted soldier.

 

:did I say that?:

Well, I figured out how to lose this game...

 

:doh:

 

Attack people when you are bored and then watch them come back later and just DESTROY you. I mean, destroy. I was over $1mill net worth last night and now I am $294k.

 

Talk about a drawdown. :confused:

 

Here's a sample of what my attack log looks like (this is just one page):

Here is probably the most telling statistic of all:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=5368&stc=1&d=1204393749

 

 

Here's the deal:

IF you decide to attack, you must just attack and re-attack someone. I simply just attacked someone ONE time and then in turn opened the gates for them to attack me whenever they felt like it.

 

So if you are going to attack someone (I do not recommend it), you need to have a ton of turns and plan to just attack them over and over until the game doesn't allow you anymore.

 

Going forward, our crew needs to coordinate attacks as well.

QUICKEST WAY TO LEVEL UP

 

I found this a little confusing, so posting here as a reference. To level up, the quick and easy way is to click RAISE FUNDS under the ACTIONS MENU and then use your turns in the SPECIAL TRAINING option.

 

It looks like you need recruits and level to do this, but you just need recruits and then you EARN level.

OK first the caveat - I like my games. So anyway having a few hours to kill today and having used all my turns I thought I'd have a search round and see what was going on in the world of browser games. Anyway long story short I came across Pentacore http://www.pentacore.eu/ I found it rather compelling so far and quite interesting in an abstract sort of way. It certainly seems to have an elegance of design.

 

Anyway I certainly don't want to divert focus from our efforts here but so far I was quite impressed (despite it being pretty complex and a little slow to start). I dont get anything from referals but thought I'd mention it as it deserves support.

 

We now return control to your regular battle ground :)

Attention DTU:

 

We've been talking about a crew attack (where we attack another crew) and I think we should plan at least one here before this round is up.

 

I think (at this point) we need to focus on getting our entire crew over at least $1M in net worth.

 

Here's our status up to this point:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=5380&stc=1&d=1204472527

 

Going forward it would be nice to try to coordinate our crew so each of us can focus on accumulating something. For example, I have been trying to build up the guided missiles.

 

What do you guys think?

When looking at the possibility of retaliating against an individual just don't look at the number of recruits. It appears that there are strong combinations that don't require a large amounts of recruits to do damage. An individual that has an extremely high level, key weapons, and defense systems (with very little recruits) can do more damage and be harder to fight back than an individual that has a large amount of recruits. Terrorist seem to use this approach. However, this is currently just a casual observation that may or may not be that important (still just in experimentation mode). For the next round it may be important that we cover all grounds when developing our forces.

Hi BF,

 

you said: For example, I have been trying to build up the guided missiles.

 

My expression is so far, and I've attacked no one yet, so maybe I'm wrong,

that Guided Missiles make only sense, if you already own all cheaper things.

 

It seems to me, that behind the names and pictures are only

Attack and/or Defence Bonus points that a player buys.

 

How much investing will be in Attack and/or Defence is a strategic/tactic deccission.

 

But you basically should make your investment after looking at

 

Cost / Bonus point.

 

Seeing it this way, one should buy the simple weapons first, as much you are allowed to buy.

 

OK, enough for now, I will focus now on buying more defensive weapons, because of NukeVille (got one (10) hit already and lost).

Tomorrow might be time for my revenge.

 

See you,

 

Hal

Indeed Hal, Im waiting for some one to put all the costs vs. attack/defence ratings into a spreadsheet! Me im far too lazy but with a bit of mental arithmetic and lazy rounding off the cheap items seem to give the most bang per buck, that is until you get to sergeant then the fighters seem more 'efficient'.

 

The one thing I have not got a feel for yet is how important levels are (except for unlocking better hardware). I have been attacked by people of higher level with minimal losses. Incidentally the more efficient way of getting levels seem to be attacking territories that have people in (10 levels for 7 turns). Actually battlefields same a good way to raise troops money or levels. The only thing I have not compared with so far is out and attacking.

BF - the levels are super important for nuking. Not sure how much more there is to the levels besides that. I am almost at 6000 level and tomorrow morning when I have a ton of turns, I will be nuking everything I possibly can which will increase the recruits and/or $. Just a big domino effect with the level thing. If you only have 1000 or 2000 level, your nuking opportunities are very small. As far as I can tell, nuking is the quickest and SAFEST way to build your stuff up.

BF - you also need level in order to get the cool, fun weapons:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=5383&stc=1&d=1204523678

 

 

So it appears the levels are for nuking and getting stronger weapons. Not sure if the actual level # matters in a fight per say, but it does matter if you are up against some strong weapons as a result of a higher level...

 

Finally got some sub's tonight! :)

Yes indeed levels are needed to become seargent etc. The difference in weapons you get there is not that great until you have exhausted the low level (and cheep) weapons. I wonder if I can make a spreadsheet without keying all the data?

 

As for levels the only thing that I can see it give access too are new combo weapons and of course nukeing more countries. Having said that my feeling is that the most rapid way to advance both levels and recruits (and cash for that matter) are 'high risk' battlegrounds. I'm not sure what the high risk low risk setting does to be honest. But I have a hunch*.

 

Apart from the risk setting there is the greater actual risk of being in a battlefield where you an be attacked by anyone without repurcussion. Having said that I have been attacked (in battlefields) by people 4 or 5 times my level and beaten them with minimal casualties. This makes me figure level is not directly inputed into combat resolution of course indirectly you have access to 'better' gear.

 

Kinda busy but I should do some tips for battlefields...most are common sense dont hang round if you arent doing anything. retrain and rest recruits when you get more. Always look twice in a battlefield (especially if you see 5 troops there) before attacking. In fact scouta round a bit to see if there are any whales operating. And my personal favourite unmerciful wipe out minnows hopefully without them even knowing who hit them :)

 

Cheers,

 

* My hunch is that you can't be attacked by absolutely anyone in battlefields but the high risk low risk setting determines how much higher a player can wack you. Seems plausible. I dunno I am on high risk all the way so far. Low risk is for pansies and ellioticians :D

Nuking is awesome. Today i logged on and nuked every single possible target available to me and made a ton on money recruits and level. Im not level 4600 so not doing too badly. After nuking you can afford to buy a helluva lot of stuff and with the recruitment increase you can easily hold a territory while you exploit it for funds and more recruits.

Nuking the following countries produced troops:

 

New Caledonia

Gabon

Afghanistan

Puerto Rico

Iraq

Kuwait

 

The following produced well over a 6 billion each:

 

Albania

Ethipoia

Cuba

Equador

Yugoslavia

 

Need info for Brazil, China, and Qatar

Dunno, seems to me you get a fair bit more from battlefields. Which kind of makes sense as nuking is risk free battlefields are well....battlefields.

 

You seem to get 10 levels for 7 turns hitting a player there.

1000 odd recruits for 15 turns

 

Cash I cant remember I think its something like 20,000,000,000 per 25 turns.

 

Thats with about 100k terrorists comitted to the campaign.

 

Pleas post what you get from various manouvers so we can gauge how different strats work.

 

OH btw this spreadsheet would seem to suggest you switch to planes after maxing up to launchers.

 

Cheers.

 

EDIT: cant get google to allow others to enter info into the sheet. There's another fairly major online office suite anyone know what its called? Ive forgotten

We need to attack liamrules ASAP. Him and some of his crew is hitting us regularly. No more sitting back, let's see what happens here.

 

We should start with liamrules and hit him until we max it out (75 attacks per day). ONLY attack if you are close or higher in stuff to beat him.

 

We should plan to do this TODAY. Between everyone in the crew, we should be able to reach the 75 max today.

 

EDIT - I WILL BE ATTACKING BEFORE THE 9:30AM OPEN. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE CREW COULD ALSO ATTACK SOMETIME TODAY AS WELL.

 

USERNAME TO ATTACK: liamrules

CREW: xSoldiersOfHeavenx

 

DISREGARD OTHER ATTACK NOTICE ON THE CG FORUM. THIS REQUIRES OUR ATTENTION. I WILL CONTACT ALLIES AS WELL.

Will be attacking liam 25 times in a row in 5 minutes.

 

That leaves 50 more times he can be attacked by the rest of us.

 

Make sure to get those attacks in TODAY so we can REPEAT TOMORROW.

 

ALSO - ONLY ATTACK LIAM FOR NOW. WE DO NOT WANT TO OPEN THE FLOOD DOOR TO OTHERS IN HIS CREW.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
