Defence "Hit List"

edited June 2008 in Gaming
I think we need a thread where we can plan who needs the "Alliance Mercenary Defenders", so we can plan where to send them and when!

Initially, the criteria for sending troops should be:
  • Level 10 wall (minimum!)
  • Granary and wheat fields at suitable level
  • No real incentive- if you've been raided repeatedly, and they keep getting resources they're not "evil"- they're just playing the game right! Try diplomacy, get a sitter or 2 and a Cranny or 5! If they still come back THEN they're evil and we'll kill them :D !!!
I also think we should warn "Big" players before/once we reinforce! If you're being raided by a top 20 player using 20 mace, killing them off might well might turn you into an enemy for life, and I'm guessing they'll have more than 20 mace! Sending a "I'm about to start building troops, so you may want to stop raiding me... or there'll be Bloodshed ;). x" message(with the kiss!) is good for relations and maybe I'm just too British, but an apologetic "Sorry I killed all your troops! I did try to warn you (because your big and scary and I don't want you as an enemy) Hope you understand! xx" message (2 kisses!) is just jolly polite and might even be the start of diplomatic relations that could benefit the whole Alliance!

These be my thoughts anyway!

    Oh, and....

    I'd like to suggest Yagure Ame as the first stop! Her Village was raided at least 6 times yesterday, though they never really got anything!

    She'll have a Lvl 10 Wall by tonight and is working on wheat too! She also seems Jolly nice from the IGM's I've had ;)!

    We could withdraw from Saracen and reconvene there at a set time tonight, say 11pm uk time?

    I've spoken to TB and SV, and we're in, so that'll be 300 Phalanx and 100 Praet, so you'll be in good company if you join our troops :D

    Saracen asks whether you can hold off withdrawing troops tonight until the 3rd settler is done.

    Of course... in fact, we should probably leave a decent contigent at his at all times. He's really central, and SC1 can be the place to defend other players still building up their troops! At least until we all have croppers and 10k armies I'm planning on leaving 50 Phalanx there tonight, maybe everyone going to Yagure's should leave 25% or there-abouts?

    No problem, I consider those troops as being in the bank. I have 200 more I can send out.

    Absolutely - sent Lambo an IGM regarding this (as he is mostly sitting for me during days this week) so, if you want anything doing with mine.. he is yer man :)

    And seeing as I just got scouted by --ICE-- of [ONE] I'm going to make a few more scouts now :bigggrin:

    EDIT:
    and if anyone spare a scout or two @ SC1 it would help as well

    I sent five but I'll think I'll make a few more while I'm at it.

    Edit - Btw, we need to get tom back on track. He's single-handedly funding our rivals armies. :(

    Yugure Ame's Yug YugVille is protected as of 6.05am uk time!

    We have 460 defenders on their way :) !
    250 Phalanx
    100 Legionairs
    110 Praetorians

    Saracen's SC1 is still protected and is available as a "safe house"
    Unless you've got sufficient troops to defeat your attacker NEVER leave them in your Village! They should be constantly raiding or reinforcing somewhere safe... SC1!!!!


    Anyone else who can send troops, please do! We could use a few more players with defensive troops in the hundreds, who are willing to use them to defend others in the Alliance! We basically need to put an end to ALL successful raids against {IC} sooner rather than later!


    So.... who's next to defend? Not much of a list so far :D!

    BRILLIANT - Almost makes me wish I was being attacked so that we could give someone else a bloody nose.

    I am Teuton so not that good on defense but I am slowly building up Paladins so should be able to provide support soon

    Cheers

    VERY NICE... We already have a roving defensive juggernaut. Ahhhh.... reminds me of last server. I foresee {IC} being a top defense alliance again. We might not be attacking but we do bite when cornered!!! :rarr:

    Maybe Toms village should be next on the list for defence when he's building settlers, otherwise he will need 11 crannies to protect what he needs.
  • LamboLambo Sunny Scotland
    edited June 2008
    Yug has anothe attacker or two that I'd like to make sure aren't going to re-visit before we pull out! We got the main one though :) !

    Tom'll be up to 7 maxed out Crannies in about 37mins! If we start to work on his settlers at 5 tomorrow, both he and I will be online (and he has Gold to NPC), so even if an attack comes in during the time it takes, we'll be able to shuffle resources to avoid anything being stolen!

    I take full resposibilty for any stolen resources and will personally replace them :D !

    EDIT: The reason NOT to defend Tom (yet) is that he's being raided by BMO.... and pissing them off by spring a KILLER defence on them is not a great idea :).... best just to dissuade them by removing all profits, adding a wall so they lose a couple of troops each time, then diplomatically suggesting they don't come back!

    Lol. My offer was that if we let you lose resources, I'll refund them to YOU :D ! Pointless anyway, I wouldn't be offering if I thought there was ANY chance of it happening, just offering reassurances to those that will be sending that their resources will be put to good use!

    Lol, I like that, not alot, but I like it :tongue: !!! Not remotely my doing though:

    SillyViking: 50 Leg, 100 Praet and 5 EI
    TBonZ: 150 Phalanx and 5 Pathfinder
    Tttooommm: 113 Praet, 5 EI and a Lvl 13 wall
    Lambo: 150 Phalanx


    Report is HERE we killed a settler :D !!!

    GREAT piece of teamwork, as is expected in {IC} leading to a GREAT result :D, I'm keeping score, that's 4 bloody noses and expecting another couple tonight!!! We are getting stretched a little thin though, so expect a "call to arms" in the near future!

    However, since it was a raid and 3 macemen survive... he DID get a full report.

    If any troops survive, then regardless of whether they killed enough you get a full report...
