Your strike was ineffective to say the least. No further battle information to report.




Now tell me, why the hell didnt he lose any tanks on the first attack, but when i made the second one he lost takes after mopping me up.

Tell me what is wrong with this picture please.
I may not know alot about this system, but this is i love you ed up. Even in "real life".

No its not, He would have lost tanks because I won the battle. He didnt lose ANYTHING.

On the second attack i had less readiness, but somehow his tanks poofed back from la-la land and mopped me up.

I and i did send 1200 tanks on both attacks.

[Added at 11/07/2006 19:22:50 by Gemz]
And no, he isnt online.

[Added at 11/07/2006 19:27:11 by Gemz]
And dont blame it on defensive allinces.

Because he would have lost tanks on the first battle too.

Not a curve ball. It's actually quite easy to answer.

Being mopped up entails the following:

Attacker-
x% of troops lost from failed attack

Defender -
y% of troops lost based on the x% of units lost

I said I hadn't added a zero check yet, hence why some have gotten negative units.

I'll add a zero safety net to it later tonight more than likely. If you want to report a bug (or something you think is a bug), email it to me. Instead of whining about it in the forums for days on end. One will annoy me and more than likely get you warning(s)/banned, and the other will get a thank you, with a fix.

For those of you who didn't get the picture, if you email him you will get banned. Whinning will get the fix. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

And your warning.

Actualy no.

It does suck all the way around...

But it wont be changed so screw it.

Why does it suck, because the more you make this game real life. The worse off it really gets.

Some things are good, some perfect, other things are just bad.

So, just to clarify, did Bienno lose any tanks? i.e. after the attack, did his tanks go in the negative? or did they remain at 0?

bieno had like 0 tanks, so gemz got through easily.. then gemz's readiness died and he lost against whatever bieno had left Gs, subs etc..

the mop up calculation means even if you have 0 of a troop then you lose a percentage of the defending troop regardless of if you actually have any o_o'

this is because the other troops suddenly morph into tanks transformer style and defend :P

I understand that perhaps Bienno's other (non-tank) units may have "mopped up"....but should he not have lost other units then? A battle has still occured.

To answer the questions:

Q: Did bienno go negative tanks?
A: Yes, if he had zero or less tanks than the amount lost.

Q: Is it fixed now?
A: Yes. If a loss penalty is greater than the amount of units owned by a defender, then the units owned are lost. No more negatives.

Q: If I attacked with my tanks, defender has 0 but I get mopped up by his other forces, shouldn't something else die?
A: Possibly, I may add in something like that. Make the losses a weight value that needs to be met by other units that did the mopping. But if you get mopped up by units that you're not attacking with .. it was pretty pathetic in the first place due to the reduced defend power they are worth (DP is used to calculate the chance of being mopped up).

Q: Was the new battle changes still in "beta" stages and Tar was watching what happened for further changes?
A: Yes. There have been some tweaks to it continually since it was added. Stop crying, no one ever implements changes seamlessly for anything.

if that is how it works, the whole transformer thing. witch is how i understood it basicaly. he should lose units that fought with the tanks.

more realisticly bieno should have lost a few tanks+a few whatever other units that he had. he only lost tanks tho. how likely is it in a battle w that much artillery in it that not a singl gar is lost?

Well I might sound stupid but i'm still not sure WHEN the new attack system kicks in and WHEN the old attack system kicks in.

Is there any way we can know before attacking?

You disrespected 2 people in two differnt threads. One of them being a mod and the other one being shady. (could have been anyone for that matter) You should really stop being a prick if you actualy wanna run a site and see more then 4 new people show up every year...
