Ikariam sob-story that noone but me will (or should) care about....

Posted by musubi Jun 12 '09, 07:11

So, I just passed 100k total score, and I was feeling pretty good about myself.

A +200k near me recently went inactive, and in a glaring display of hubris, I thought I'd take a crack at him. So overnight, I build up a MPC, send 95% of my offensive units and throw them at the city before I go to sleep.

I wake up to find out, the forces were pretty evenly matched, *except* he had 5 cooks and 5 doctors. So, in 14 rounds, my guys are dusted. 2 out of roughly 400 units survived.

I'm cursing myself for being so stupid as to think I could take on a such a big fish on my own. Stupid 100k milestone got me overconfident. Now I've lost nearly a fifth of my military, and I'm stuck rebuilding them. Frak.

yeah I learned that the hard on org too. Now if I can't spy 'em I send out a small recon mission to see what I might be facing. - Beaker Jun 12, 07:14 9
- I took out 90% of his forces in the city, which is actually the worst case scenario. - musubi Jun 12, 07:17 8

        I think he was suggesting that if you occupy it, it will help protect against someone poaching your pillage. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 07:29 3
        
        I know, but like the IM said, my small phalanx reserve won't hold off a real attack. - musubi Jun 12, 07:30 2
        
        Not to mention the 10% of his forces remaining can defend against attacking phalanx. - musubi Jun 12, 07:38
