Why do noobs bother?

[DeletedUser]

"Late game"? :lol::lol::lol:

Since when does nuaz play that long?

He will be around what a month, will this "strat" have worked by then ?

We can only hope
+We'll get those villages if and when we internally noble him :icon_wink:

There was a thread earlier about what is the most important skill in tribal wars.

Some said sending trains in 200 milliseconds and I have been accused of not knowing how to send in less than 1 second.

You have a target that's max 2 hours by noble. Make a train (that's 4 nobles by the way )and noble him in no time. Or is the best you can send 1 second ?

In truth all you have to do is understand english and be able to follow simple instructions,

Points: 1.626
Player: bladesmanstan
Tribe: Senatvs Popvlvsqve Romanvs

^ Would've made a killer target.

But you know what I consider the most important skill in tw? Judgement! This is impossible to teach and even the most experienced players often get that wrong. If you do what the enemy expect of you then you are most likely gonna fail, that is good judgement.
backed up by this quote

Come on you know we are 100% def:icon_wink:

Tbh ive been waiting for a visit all day but it never came:icon_sad:

Yes of course he had been waiting for me, he is not stupid, and surely being a member of a defensive tribe he would be well stacked with other troops he could call on if needed.

So yes I did use good judgement by not taking the most obvious target.

Now take a look at my new village. Already I have had several incomings on my main village, but each time the troops and more importantly the resources can be easily moved out of the village, a task that is not possible with 1 village. Now I have two villages I can create 1 wholly offensive village and 1 wholly defensive one to compliment each other. My new village has now grown about as much as it is gonna do for now, I have upgraded barracks and stables and am constantly producing troops in both villages over the break.

Also it is a damn site easier to snipe incoming noble trains if you have a second village in which to snipe from, also easier to backtime, so if anybody feels like sending a train to my offensive village, expect my defensive one to snipe your train, if you send to my defensive village it will still be sniped and you will be backtimed from my main village.


So in truth the noble was well spent, I am sorry it was the first noble, I would have preferred it to be ruffus or temporarye.

Talking of Ruffus, he went for a much more difficult target and was successful, good play by him and his tribe. But this was a tribal effort which resulted in many lost troops for both him and his tribe. They got their man, but they will suffer for it when the break is over and they have loads of ressies to collect from their farms, me? I will continue to farm as effectively as always and expect to collect over 100k in the first hour alone.

I am not saying that my judgement is better or worse than anybody else, but that by not taking the most obvious target was good judgement, in the same way that Churchill's D-Day took place in Normandy and not the most obvious Calais where the enemy was stacked and waiting for them.

Happy New Year Everybody, now lets get pissed and forget all about TW for the next 24 hours at least!

Bold highlighted. Isn't that a gross assumption? For all you know, he took very little losses.

And remind me of Ruffus' rank compared to yours?

He's in the same tribe as the player Ruffus nobled. no assumptions. Just facts. Ruffus took horrendous losses, I saw the reports myself.

 

[DeletedUser8815]

erm he is ranked 3, me 4 i believe, wholly because he nobled a better vill than me.

but i assure you i have loads more troops than him now. Amd like i already said he had huge help from his tribe, not that i am complaining, after all, thats what tribes are for.

[la]Hey, I have an idea. Lets noble a possibly nice-defensed player a few squares away, risk losing troops, a noble, or not nobling the player before attack break... Or lets grab that barb next to me right now before attack break and have a nearby, second, resource and troop creating village right now. Maybe it wasn't the best choice, but he still beat all of you to two villages.[/la]

 

[Nauzhror]

but i assure you i have loads more troops than him now.

To be fair, your troopcount is nothing to write home about:

Buildings: Village Headquarters (Level 20)
Barracks (Level 11)
Stable (Level 4)
Workshop (Level 1)
First church (Level 1)
Academy (Level 1)
Smithy (Level 20)
Rally point (Level 1)
Statue (Level 1)
Market (Level 13)
Timber camp (Level 26)
Clay pit (Level 23)
Iron mine (Level 23)
Farm (Level 23)
Warehouse (Level 21)
Hiding place (Level 1)
Wall (Level 8)

That was your village when it was 3,493 points.

Based on a growth monitor you gained a 24 mine shortly after, probably clay, then market 14, then market 15, then workshop 2 or wall 9 (I'd guess workshop 2), then another 87 points since then, my guess is 16 market and the other 24 mine, which makes your village looke like, this as of this exact moment in time:


Village Headquarters (Level 20)
Barracks (Level 11)
Stable (Level 4)
Workshop (Level 2)
First church (Level 1)
Academy (Level 1)
Smithy (Level 20)
Rally point (Level 1)
Statue (Level 1)
Market (Level 16)
Timber camp (Level 26)
Clay pit (Level 24)
Iron mine (Level 24)
Farm (Level 23)
Warehouse (Level 21)
Hiding place (Level 1)
Wall (Level 8)

Sorry to break it to you, but 23 farm isn't an impressive troopcount, and 4 stable is laughable, I had a level 10 stable over two weeks ago.

 

[DeletedUser5942]

Can we please clarify what this thread is now about please? (sorry guys)

Is it 'Bitch slapping fest for noobs' or 'Bitch slapping fest of noobs' or, as the title suggests 'Why do noobs bother?'

 

[DeletedUser]

Also, if you lose most of your troops then your res income gets slashed, but if you have 2 vills already it's a lot faster to start rebuilding, and you probably have other troops to fall back onto...

 

[DeletedUser]

well he can take all the barbs he wants just dont take any of my farms lol

 

[DeletedUser8815]

laugh as much as you like, but a lev 4 stable still provides 100 lc per day for over 2 weeks, that still gives me a decent troop count and as you have already seen, a good deal more than ruffus, though not as many as you.

It was you if i remember who stated that there is little point in upgrading barracks n stables before attack breaks. My troops have been growing steadily 24/7 and as I have had no need to lose many they have not needed replacing. So I have rightly concentrated on getting mines high to produce res during attack breaks. Had this world not have started when it did my village would look very different.

Again, that is judgement, my judgement which has put me up to rank 4 with a troop count probably in the top 10. Maybe i am right maybe not, but my tactics are certainly not laughable.

 

[DeletedUser6695]

Im slightly outside the top 10 and I have a higher farm lvl than you

 

[DeletedUser5942]

Obviously not it seems

I would think it should be renamed 'Flame at Will'

 

[DeletedUser]

Omg, u so bad dood. my cat is beta dan u. he spike ur house.

Anyway. Nobling barbs if you all D is kinda a given, you can't really noble anything else properly without asking for help. Nobling barbs as all O might not be so clever but bear in mind what LA said...

 

[DeletedUser1410]

so to recap
If you start with a D set up and take barbs is ok
But if you start with O you are expected to take a player?

So what if 90% of villages I take from now on are barbs that ok?
