[Suggestion] Over Whelming force

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

If you out number a thing 10-1 it should loose once the reinforcement window ends.

Spending 24 hours clearing away all the inactive 0 troop rifraf is a bore.

But then you won't be able to have the epic victories where someone tries to beat 1 dude and fails because only 2 people showed up to fight and the 1 guy was a much better duelist or equipped.

I think 100 vs 1000 should be a valid fight.  There may be a place to draw a line, but not 1:10.

Maybe 1:100.  I haven't seen anyone do it yet but it's just a matter of time before someone realizes that they can stall a huge army forever just by attacking it over and over and over with 1 man armies.  oh noes, what have i done


I do think that a size 0 force should auto-lose though.  It shouldn't even schedule the battle.

Ditto for armies with no weapons, unless both sides are weaponless.


Really there's only so much amusement to be had out of having to show up for a 5am battle that the enemy has absolutely no chance at because they had 0 troops and no weapons.  Shouldn't even make us log in.  (And you can never be sure when a battle is going to end up scheduled for 5am because you can't be sure what their nighttime is.  You attack at 9:30pm and, welp, 5am it is.)

I understand no weapons, however what if it's a boxer army. All heavy gauntlets and shoes.

You need 33 troops to attack 100 I believe

Don't forget the 300 Spartans.

1/3 is the minimum.

Here is an old amusement slamz.

Enemy army marching towards one your fiefs. You get 1/3 of that armies men together to launch a counter attack. You purchase thousands of units of stones. You quick march attack the army when it's close enough and if possible have smaller armies bring more and more stones until the window for reinforcement has ended.

If you do it right you watch the big bad army crawl towards you for the next 2 days, if your super lucky you watch a bankrupt army disband and you attack the left over remnant and steal all it's goodies.
