If its something like 2x, then its just as easy to plan out and such. Plus, you should really need to have a decent ratio to be able to hurt them. So I'm more in agreement with this.
So what's to stop me getting like 50k mages on 175 land (easy to do with 50 turns and some dropping) and smashing someone with 100 times more mages than me?

If we want to fix this, losses have to be proportional between the attacker and defender somehow. Base it on ratio, sure, but there has to be something that directly links the amount lose on each side or else there are ways to abuse it.

No, I mean non-ratio losses. I mean as in normal attacks -- both lose roughly the same, not in proportion to how many they have. We can shift it to the attacker or the defender, but the basic idea is that the losses are calculated from a number that's based on the sum of both armies. So for instance, the guy with 30k mages has all his wiped out on the first attack, and the guy with 3mil that he was attacking loses only 30k. This is about what would happen if you took 30k chariots and attacked another guy with 3mil chariots.

Because you'd have a HELL of a lot fewer and you would fail regardless. Plus, I think he was saying that losses should be proportional anyways.

I'm going on vacation until the fix is done. I'm tired of getting suicided and murdered down by n00bs who can't do anything. And Sevah, glad to see you are still here after saying you were too busy to play here... Or maybe you deleted cause you were smashed down to nothing.
