OPENING MOVES
We Started 72 hours prior to our assault by directing cav spam from the entire alliance and training alliance on to Atlantis and the associated 16 in the second account. We knew that the Atlantis player liked to fight in mech defense primarily and tended to build in excess of 17,000 abatis in many of his cities. We needed to chip away at the walls before making a concerted push.
Over the next three days, various players and allies were directed to the area of the 16 as a feint. We had had another 16 in that alliance under siege for some time, and wanted to apply some misdirection. These porters cleared cities from the sea of red around the 16 and ran loyalty down on one city grays to allow them to be capped and cleared from range, freeing up flats near the 16 if needed. At least 9 red cities surrounding the 16 were capped and NPC'd in the three day period, opening up many flats closer to the state capital. This was in addition to the regular porters in the alliance causing havoc having nothing to do with preparations for Atlantis.
At Atlantis we ran loyalty on one city grays in preparation for the main attack. The Atlantis account was setting up his support cities, and suppressing them. By the time we attacked we had a rough idea of his suppression schedule as we included those support cities in our cav spam targeting.
You can see the Troop counts of Atlantis and the support city in my post above (page 3 I think) - but the important piece of information at the start is that the abatis had been knocked down from 17k to 3700 by d-day.
