When in need, no matter what ill lose, ill send resources to my comrades. But only if they need it. Other than that they can all go to hell

Lyrically I'm infinite like possibilities
But you don't have the capability like infertility

Is like trying to contradict the theory of relativity
That's really shouldn't be the case.
If you can't send res or rein a member cause of their pres then find someone online who has 1/3 of their pres. Send it to them and they can relay it to the person who needs it. If nobody is able to rein or transport to an individual then he/she should really think about dropping pres. Player should risk his allies troops just cause they want high pres.
Totally agree
either drop prestige if you need to get stuff from the smaller players or show yourself and your friends why you 'bigger' and help them with reinf and ressources instead of take stuff..
when i am online i dont like reinf when under attack anyways cause then i am not flexible enough in change my defence and i hate to waste troops of my friends.
as it goes for ressources i always give to the smaller players and support them but never take. at a certain size it just looks wrong to me to take stuff from smaller players. (reds excluded)
if there is a need you can always cap a baby NPC close to a member and ship ressources there - leave alliance - let him attack you to get the stuff... or let him cap the city with the ressources ... also if you big spender you can adv port the little city to the player...
I have sent by mistake to someone 3,4,5x my pres and lost all. I have sent with a hero though, not a fantastic one, maybe 200 attack (because I am not sure about losing a hero in this scenario), to people 5x my pres and lost nothing. So it's possible to do this, but you likely will be plundered. I only attempt if I am the only person available in an emergency.
i try to send some reinfs to a player with 20mill pres more than me they get plundered everytime so probably a glitch?
If I send to someone who has more than 7.5mil prestige (me being a little above 2.5m), I always send twice the amount of troops needed, cause I know that the chances are, I'll lose about half of them.
Losing troops stinks, but I tend to be a cheap guy and send only in case of emergency.![]()
trust me when i say that you still lose troops and resources when sending to bigger players... maybe the OP just had a really lucky night or his server was off - because it sure didn't change on my server

"I used to have many flaws, now I'm down to two - everything I say & everything I do."
We did a lot of testing with this in my last alliance/server... back when we were noobs and nothing made sense, we tested everything
Under 3x prestige is safe.
More than 3x prestige difference is not always safe, but not always unsafe either.
Certain cities of a person can send to certain cities of another person more than 3x their size safely while another city of theirs or their target's might be unsafe.
You can test with 1000 or so scouts first, if they make it, your transports should be fine too.
No matter how much more people grow, once a 'route' from city A to city B is safe, it remains safe (from what we saw) permanently.
Sending heroes and troops does not make it safe, if it wasn't otherwise.
Sending by reinforce instead of transport does not make it safe, if it wasn't otherwise.
All this was tested back on early server 78, if it's changed since I have yet to notice![]()
100% Agreed iam currently on 5.1M pres and friend is on 18.7M pres and i lost 150k scouts by sending 300k with food
48k warriors by sending 100k with food
the first round in sending 3 waves of 100k scout's didnt lost nothing, then sent another wave of 100 warrior's they made it safely in. once they all came back did a 2nd loop around with food using 3 waves of 100k scout's and 100k warrior i started receiving damage's lol
