Hey There Little Buddy

An old friend pops up near my back city, uh oh.. now theres trouble in River City....

The following is the story of a man who embarked on a journey, to go from 0 honor, to 88m honor... in one fateful night.

Lots of reps, ill note the number of repetitive boring ones.

last time we fought he donated his second best hero to me lol, 799 w/ excal.
that time it was 3v1 and they still didnt touch me.

Not sure what this guy was trying to do. Is he quitting the game? He dumped a crap load of troops on you.

How far from your city was he? Not sure why he had those 25k trans in his mech waves unless he was just trying to dump alot of honor on you?

Also why did you go from 7k trans in your city to over 700k? Did you move a bunch of resources out or something?

I assume these reports are not in order cause you go from no AT's to 5 AT's to no AT's to 100 AT's to no AT's to Full AT's. How long did this battle last or did he switch to attacking a different city of yours?

Gotcha. Makes more sense then.

Did he port away?

Nice defence lol

Love it seth
One question though... http://ww.evonyurl.com/e9l9y8

Which attacking troop unit hit your ballistae...? my first though was scouts, but they would've gone for the scouts, transports and pults first... right?

Hey thierry, long time no see :)

I'd say it was definitely the scouts that killed the ballies. They are behaving like this was a mixed scout bomb (even though it was clearly intended to be an arch bow) in which they seem to target whichever unit (other than scouts) moves the fastest. That's why you can foil the mixed sb by building one other unit, like 1 pike or arch or w/e you like, really. Usually pike though, cuz they build the fastest.

Nearest unit is targeted. Since scouts don't move on defence, they don't get rushed by the attacking ones. In the case of the report, ballistae as you said :)

Yeah, as I was getting ready for work I was thinking about this and came to the same conclusion. Scouts are targeting just like other melee units, prioritizing closest units.

My only question is why? Why should scouts targeting priorities change simply because other units are included in the wave, when no other unit behaves this way? Ranged units ALWAYS follow the same targeting order. Melee units ALWAYS follow the same targeting order. Why should scouts be different? Makes me wonder if I'm not really understanding WHY the sb works...

EDIT: Maybe I've come up with the answer: Troops must move at the END of each round rather than the beginning. Means that scouts' targeting priorities never change, simply that in the case of an SB, the defending units haven't moved yet. All troops are equi-distant and the scouts target JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MELEE unit, prioritizing first the closest unit, and in case of a tie, the unit with the highest cumulative attack value.

Do I get a cookie for this? I know I've come two years late to the party, lol, but still...

Nice thinking mira!

Why couldn't the attacker just keep scouting the op until all of his scouts were killed and then send a mech or two and clear the city? Im just wondering because at one point you only had 400k scouts...

you were right.. it was scouts... when grouped with another unit, scouts target differently.. hence d-sbs.

because as a defender, im not stupid and one would have to be stupid to allow themselves to be descouted.

well ill make a point to say that someone using a bot can land 10 hits in a range of 1 sec which no human can do nor can a human close gates that fast either.

though thats obviously not the case here just adding my thoughts :)

Lovely mech defence, he wasted loads of troops on you lol. Well done for making P50T look stupid. Have fun dumping the honor.
