I've yet to see Rill troll a harmless member but if you can prove otherwise then it's another story. Though I don't think fighting fire with fire is a particularly mature (or effective for that matter) way of dealing with it. I have seen her involve herself in a situation she's not involved in, if that's what your talking about, but Silverlake's post only made that worse, because he involved her in something she herself hadn't even involved herself in. As I said, not particularly effective. 


You missed the rant in which she referred to my city as the heart of corruption then?

I've lost count of the number of times I've looked in GC to see "H? this" and "H? That" and Rill being the culprit.

Tongue Players building 12 units per hour can cover daily losses of 288 units.   If they lost 20,160 units in the tournament before the war it takes them 70 days (Oct 1 to Dec 9) to replace these troops.

Except that they've been spending troops at a high rate since then.

try 20 to 54 per an hour, but there is alot of strategy involved and everyone is learning, u always keep reserves and set traps for incoming armies, alot of feints, alot of fake sieges trying to catch cav troops with spears...the devs  did a wonderful job with war mechanics, this is one of the best war games i have ever played, in my opinion war should be a constant in this game, we need a change in illyriad and maybe it was just waiting for us to play it

It's okay, my guess certainly didn't match one VICtorious army I'm aware of, getting a kobold legion back to its full size is fast.  GM SC  reported the tournament ouchies for alliances:  EE 630K, H? 590K, and VIC 500K.   

So if you have 75 players building 288 units in 8 towns it's 172,800 units per day, oops...  Shocked

It was a joke lighten up, and no one deletes other's posts  Smile

This game will quickly fade into oblivion if it became a war game like all the rest. Nobody, I repeat nobody, will play a war game that takes a year or longer just to become competitive. There are 1000s of PvP winner takes all war games out there, this game is unique. Let's keep it that way please.

Words easily said from someone not in Dark.  There's a 3rd option.

I think your guess is about 4 times bigger then reality. 12 units p/h is too much, 5-6 p/h would be more realistic and also 75 players with 8 towns average is too much... only around 30 VIC players where part of war until now.

Also I don't know why, but that "tournament ouchies" post has incorrect numbers.
For [Druids] it has 4,329 + 8,045 casualties which is less then 50% my casualties alone.

there are fights with 32k , 25k , 17k , ... casualties so for sure not 8k together when defending.

This is at least 6th post from you where you repeat how great "war game" this is... you might be surprised how many players think this is "browser based strategy game" or as massively.com or wikipedia says "city building game".
