Help, Bunkie declared war on me!

All right, I'm accepting peace for 1000 with Spinner and accepting the foreign aid to attack Bunkie.

What should I do with the money I get? Just pay the bills, or buy something?

 

First troops (and infra if you need "room" for the troops), then perhaps some tech if possible. Or just do the bills if you're set.

Don't keep more cash than possibly needed for the next bills around, to avoid the enemy stealing it in battle. Just ask Maximus - I lost $0.96 to Bunkie today... Wonder how many troops he'll get for that?

 

you have to pay bills to be able to buy anything, so pay the bills sounds good

 

What do you mean by "room"? My population seems really pissed at my army, should I buy infra then?

 

I don't remember the formula right now, but there's a roof beyond which the peasants will get angry at your excessive army (heh), and I'm pretty sure there's also a top roof at which you can't buy more troops.

You can avoid either/both by buying some infra, which gets you more land & peasants, thus raising both roofs.

If you're getting my drift.

 

Yup, there's a top roof:

 

Alright, judging from the amount you've received, buy one level of tech and dump the rest into infra. If you've got anything left over, maybe add it into land so you get to $0.

Now declare war on bunkie and shove him into anarchy. Spuddy and DU have him right there... he just needs a little push!

Post your results here soldier.

 

FUCK:

I get out the 13th.

Thanks for the aid by the way, I needed it.

 

Remember to try an attack directly after update - first one gets a free raid! (I'll race you for it, if I ever figure out when update is in my time...)

No, wait - are YOU in anarchy, mathboy? If so, how'd that happen?

 

Deploy soldiers. Max amount of course (hmm, wonder why it is red), YOUR CITIZENS HAVE REBELLED!

 

Nonononono...

Next time, and here's a thought, don't do that...

Remember the underdog thing, if nothing else.

Now, time to lock and load and teach the flipping peasant rebels a lesson, eh? (I don't really know how that works, but I'm assuming you're not permanently kicked out of math country?)

 

Only until tomorrow, I did the mistake when I was going to attack Spinner for the first time.

 

Here's the rule I'd recommend, 50% troop deployment. That way if they come back to fight you, you've still got enough forces to defend yourself.

Change your gov type at update and then finish him off, assuming he doesn't rebuild before then.

 

My hobby war just ended because the chicken ran to seek shelter with some less scrupulous alliance and we were ordered to back off.

All resources diverted to the War on Perfidy.

* * * * * * *

Would that it had been so. After hours of confusing diplomacy, we have now been ordered to finally dismantle the hobby war and so I am now at long last free to concentrate on Bunkie.

Will get a few hours of sleep first, so don't freak out if I'm not charging across the border in exactly 5hrs 9mins.

See you at the looting.

 

Yep, I'm afraid I'm in anarchy for three more days. No war declarations for me...

 

I forgot to change to DEFCON 1. Too bad.

 

As I PM:ed Max in-game (he seemed interested in such things):

My responses were... lacklustre? Or at least strangely small-scaled compared to his: I killed 27 of his while losing 15 of mine. I also captured 0.225 miles and destroyed 1.359 infra, while leaving $133.63 in stuff.

So, the day's results:
Bunkie lost 181 men and $510.10
Spuddy lost 167 men and $133.63

Spuddy earned 14 men and $376.47, plus land and infra. Also, my taxes brought in enough to leave me better off than before Bunkie's raids.

-----------------

Didn't even notice it at first, but unless someone attacked Bunkie in the last few minutes, I took him down to Anarchy! He's only got 67 soldiers for 420 supporters, and should be ripe for next update unless there's someone available to raid him now.

 

Not if I get there first!

4½ hours 'til update...

(Oh, have to edit in a hearty congrats as well! Bunkie's been pounded good and proper. Next we'll keep him in anarchy and raid his shit all week long.)
