WHAT TO EXPECT, WHEN FIGHTING A TRAP ALLIANCE
We were very unfortunate, after our war against STARWATCH we received a Trap alliance last Sunday. Initially, we wanted to cut it short and end it after a day (obviously with us loosing) but one of our players didn't listen and attacked.
Now what happens, when you attack a real trap?
Right, you get killed, he/she is/are staying online and they tickle you just enough to keep you in the red. Now, we know one thing or 2 about this game and we decided to engage for a while, since we were now committed for as long as these players would let us.
We attacked with our lowest level planets and did our best to gain maximum points.
During the day -on a workday-, we were able to hold them back and move the bar a little bit in our favour, because player #1 had to work most likely, but never enough to even get close to victory.
Have a look:
Until Friday evening, we even made the bar more than 3/4 green, during every night player #2 managed to stay online for 10-12 hours continuously and moved the bar back into the red zone.
What do you think happened on Saturday?
- 14:10 cet
- 15:50 cet
Yes, player #1 didn't have to work, so we barely got a single attack on and the green bar moved with few pauses into the red and then we lost after 6 1/2 days. This time, unfortunately, UBISOFT did not help and decided to let the game run the whole weekend. Toooooo baaaaad.....
Btw. this trap has one player in Europe and another one in the Americas, probably the US and I have a reasonable guess, who they might be.
What can we tell you, we learned from our 3rd war against a trap?
- If a trap knows, what he/she/it/they are doing, you never will have the slightest chance.
- Some players run several traps, if you don't wake them up by attacking, they might be/stay busy somewhere else.
- If you are in the top 20 or so, you will most likely be loosing after about 7 days, unless the trap player is from your team!!!
- The only way to have a chance not to loose is, if your whole team manages to stay online in the game for the whole 24 hours, without a single break and then you will get a draw without points. How many teams could manage that? Only single or 2 player alliances.
- Will the choice of a hard or easy war influence the chances? Yes, green seems a bit safer, but we received our traps with different colours, so there is no real protection.
- What should you do? - If you still want to have a life, don't fight back, don't give them the joy to play with you, just let it go and fight again in the next war. Maybe this way they get bored eventually and stop. Is this likely to happen? Does the pope live in Rome?
- UBISOFT, please bring back the 1-3, 4-9, 10-20 rule you forgot to reprogram around April 2014! This game has become nearly unplayable because of this. Additionally, limit the time in the game, to remove the 24 hour online players from this game and give ordinary people with families, jobs and a life also the chance to win. How likely is this to happen? ... Where does the pope live again?
GREETINGS,
