Desperate times calls for desperate measures

Filed under: Tales and Stories — Mawhrin-Skel @ 5:05 pm

Early today I suffered a devastation on three planets and a fleet. At this moment we don’t provide much information on the messages, so the only thing I knew was that someone fired a devastation somewhere that damaged a fleet and three planets from my empire. This direct attack cost me 50 low level combat units. What a waste.

But that’s not all… a couple of minutes ago I was attacked by several players on several planets and a relic This seams to be the second part of a planned attack against me. I even got attacked by a player that I never saw and that isn’t on any of my enemy alliances! I think it’s just a coincidence.

Spending so much time and resources planning an attack against me isn’t very smart. The only justification is that I could be more fragile after a previous journey. These thugs did a major mobilization to destroy just a couple of combat units. They might raid me, but fortunately for me, I spend all the resources that I need, and those that I don’t, I put yesterday on the alliance’s storehouse. So, all this attack will take time and resources from them, and it won’t do me much harm.

War is mainly about economy. When the System Lords engaged on the Relic Wars the objective was clear: win relics, gain income. This attack’s objective may be to weaken me, but I guess it won’t work as expected. Even so, I’m very proud to make my enemies gather like this just to strike me. I’m the Special One! You mess with my family, I kick!

1. Well I dont know about the rest, but whatever you want to make up fine by me, write all the fiction you want xD Anyway the relic attack was just to see your fleet, which is a little disappointing and I dont think attacking with 4 panthers is a big attack, but for you to call it a planned attack lmao

2. You don’t call 5 attacks and 1 devastation a planned attack? That relic has that fleet for months! It was never attacked before.

   It could be just a coincidence… but I already know from secret sources that it wasn’t!

4. This does raise one question, will the storehouse render raids useless? cause everyone will put their resources there and ppl wont stock pile them anymore…

5. I know another cheat people are doing with the resources but i do think the store house has to have storage limit maybe or maybe if theres no resources, everything on the planet is destroyed, so the player will have to build everything again LOL

6. nah, that wait they would just leave 1 or 2 of each resource =) As to the limit I agree, it’s supposed to be used to exchange resources between players not stock pilling them. hmm the other “cheat” (not really a cheat but an abuse) must be when you have them on a fleet you put them on another fleet and unload only a lesser portion? =)

7. But there’s a cost to put in storage, will have a loss anyway

9. Sorry Reborned, the other cheat isn’t resource on the fleet. Oh by the way, I did fire a devastation yesterday on Pyro at the 19.24.1.1 system lord relic and I also attacked it. It was a coincidence, i was just continuing where punisher left off.
