I kinda enjoy getting wiped out regularly now. I just go up the list of largest villages of who's larger me, attack and just see where it falls.

Did I do it backwards?

The weapons and armor I bought for 50g before were replaced with weapons that cost 2000g now.

How many defensive points do you have?

I think you did sir.

since you rolled the items to highest tier. He is now totally untouchable.

Yeah, I have the weapons and armor misnumbered. I thought I was giving everyone tier 5 and instead was giving like tier 13. I'll be fixing that.

Fuck it. I'm running into a LOT of issues due to the fact that some people have a shitload of different weapons. I'm getting SQL errors if I duplicate the ID number and I have 7 pages to go through.
I'm sorry, Chibi, but I'm going to do a reset.

no worries
Dave, thanks for trying. I really do appreciate you trying accommodate all the requests.

well.. with this much changes, it would make sense
plus it depends on other players too. don't hold it out just cause of me 
All my precious stuffs. Gone.
C
Chibibar
yea. I decide to try it again one more time
one more time 
I'm not sure I'm going this time. There's no end-game, it seems. How do we declare a winning team? Highest ranking after a week? Two weeks? I think it COULD be interesting to play if there was something to play for...

Spies are killed off pretty quickly and money is tight. Basically you have to keep a lot of spies on hold to ensure that you get the 100% spy bonus. Sometimes you can't trust 'em.
Should I make them cost 5 gp each?
You should stop leaving so much gold lying about - someone's bound to snatch it up.
As a service to you, I'll put it to good use.

Meh, nothing can be perfectly balanced. Increase the cost too much, and people will just forego using spies. I think it's just that the intel bonus is the least useful bonus, especially since offense/defense ratings do little to suggest what actual casualty rates will be (as stienman alluded to earlier, it seems army size has a bigger effect than ratings.)
Well, my new technique is working well, but the problem is that I'm a user, so I can't attack other users. I should have chosen a less populated nation so I could spread my attacks out more evenly.
So far I've carried out 108 attacks, sacrificing 40 of my troops, killing 1,311 of other people's troops, and gaining 3,001 gold.
This means I'm getting about 27 gold per turn. Using the income method one gets about 10 gold per turn, so attacking people is very profitable.
Unfortunately the new rate (5 turns every 15 minutes) means that if you don't keep up with the game every 3 hours you lose turns. I'm not that dedicated, so doubtless this round will go to whoever tends their army the most.
I keep little to no gold around, and don't need more than 60 troops (you're alwasy refreshed back to 60 each round if you go under 60), so no one has anything to gain by attacking me - therefore I don't lose anything if someone attacks, which means I don't need to waste money on defense.

Damn you steiny!!! I just stole gold from 8 people and right as I clicked buy for new weapons it said not enough funds.
yeah the small population is one of the reasons I chose my nation. I was going to try and have a decent def and off but with the constant attacks I cant save up enough to buy decent armor so offense all the way

It was so nice of you to spend many of your turns looting 260 gold so I could take it all in a few turns!
So much easier than spending time and turns getting 26 gold here, and 30 gold there, and 13 gold over there...
But I've been caught twice, and people have attacked me while I'm attacking them, so I usually hit as quickly as I can, then spend it immediately, and go back to see if there's anything left.
It's tricky, but a lot more fun than turtling!

Ouch! Nice timing!
-Adam
That is what I was doing. All my attacks were within a minute of each other and I went to the armory immediatly after. It was a good catch but I managed to get a little bit of it back
There's no goal, so what, exactly, is impossible?you made it impossible!
Any casual player, though, is going to be annoyed - they'll rarely, if ever, have any gold. Only those that can come back every 15 minutes at the beginning of each cycle and milk the other players will get anywhere.

Mine has 60, and a long list of attacks since yesterday, with every attack taking incredible amounts of 0 to 6 gold.I think you went a little overboard with the new rules, Dave, lol.
Of all nations, only ONE has gold.. How much? Exactly ONE gold. haha
Brilliant!
Largest village has 57 troops. You didn't make it hard, you made it impossible!
The difficulty in attack raids seem to have been amped, and while before I´d have a long list of people raiding me, and lost no troops, now Im losing troops left and right
