Title: Increase Attack Range
Post by: Chris_the_Animal on March 14, 2014, 03:25:21 pm
Hunting a guy who is changing his movement direction every single minute.
My speed is 69.401 and I am not able to catch him.
Both lightly armed. 177 Troops on me. 100 Troops in him.
He got 100 crates.

I was 36 meters away from him, then suddenly 1 minute later it was 138 again.
Please increase the attack range to make this "Direction Bug" not abusable anymore.

Edit: I got him after 90 Minutes of clicking "Attack..." every single Minute...

EDIT:
On a serious note:
Make it happen, nothing more annoying to spend a lot of time chasing a guy, who lost anyways.

Had the same problem last strat:

Not sure why it keeps changing the URL to the forum post...here's a tinyurl link to it, or you can copy and remove the huge brackets I added above

I was 13m away and had "attack" set, but the battle was never initiated (Because he kept moving farther than 50m away after 1 strat tick).  Shit mechanic that should have been fixed a long time ago...it's the core part of the game to be able to attack someone when you're near them, and very frustrating when it doesn't initiate.

No battle initiated.

Was also within 40, 60, 70, 80, 90 meters multiple times.

They should fix this, there's really no downside to it.  It would be really hard to abuse this change.
