A nuke in general is more useful when there are more rams than cats, as the primary objective of this game is to noble, rather than cat down an opponent. Catting is a secondary option and is only considered when nobling isn't an option for one reason or another.
Also... its not as though L.I have the ability to use cat nukes properly anyway, so it is a safe assumption to make.
A word in for L.I: Two of their smaller members, using good timing and coordination, managed to cat me down. I was powerless without outside support. Kudos to them for realizing that it only takes some cooperation to take down the big players at an early stage.
Hint: There more ways than nobling a tribe's villages to weaken them.
First there is only one player (for now) actively taking part in giving the
L.I noobs a lesson in nobling (so it's not going to affect noble stats much
over night), and that's me:
Side 1:
Players: Abdo Side 2:
Tribes: L.I
Timeframe: Forever
Total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 4 Side 2: 0 Difference: 4
Points value of total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 12,855 Side 2: 0 Difference: 12,855
Secondly, nobling a tribe's duke generally demolishes the moral of a tribe,
hence Abdo is receiving groveling letters from demoralised members to
spare them.
Also, I would hardly call this a war, it's more of a lesson! :lol:
I think Ade was referring to the weakening of the nukes due to cats being
more pop heavy (an extra 3 villagers per cat) than rams.
Anyway, your opponent would have to be blind, inactive, or a complete
noob not to notice a fake noble-train (containing rams) heading towards
his/her back-line...
... if not within a few fields, it's better to use real nobles in your fakes! :icon_rolleyes:
