Actually, it occurred to me that the GOONS might just be punishing Eyoonia for leaving the Black Team.

And just because I monitor the wars doesn't mean I do anything about them. Eyoonia's total defending casualties are more than ten times the size of Fiducia's army. We've occaisionally sent token peacekeeping troops and reconstruction money to allies who've gone into Anarchy, but otherwise we consider our defenses an insurance policy that we'd prefer not to file a claim against.

I watch the wars so that when the hammer falls, I know who was holding the nail.

LOL, no never! Reading my comment again I can see how it would read that way though. My apologies, the thought never crossed my mind. Besides we are still a ways out from launching so any recruiting would be pointless. I still have to recover from getting nuked twice.

Ouch. What effects do nukes have on your nation again?

Government put in anarchy, lose loads of troops and tanks. You lose 1/4 of your air force. You lose 150 miles of land and 150 infra points. The worst part of all is that it totally wrecks your economy for 6 days counting the day the bomb dropped. For example I went from a gross income of about 2.9M per day to making just a tad bit over 300k per day. Needless to say you never collect income during nuke anarchy. Man am I glad I had a cushion saved up for this war.

Yes, he could have expected to have made out better in his attacks, but that's the flunky results the combat system frequently produces. It could just as easy be the other way around next time. Fact is, even with those poor results he made out okay. His losses against you cost him around $750,000 tops. At his level the tech he captured was worth at least $500,000 and the land he captured was worth at least $1 million. He didn't peace out because of the results, he do so because this was a tech raid. You do a blitz, capture what you can and then try and peace out. He gains whatever he can capture and when you accepted his peace offer,he doesn't receive any return damage to his nation. And if you attacked back, he may have had a couple of buddies join in. That's the textbook raid, get in quick and get out quick. It clears the slot so he can attack again. There are raiders who have done this 10 or more times in a day. Unless you have approached his alliance about this attack and demand reparations, what's to prevent him from doing this again tonight? Or tomorrow. And if they think they can get in a free set of attacks without any reprisals or the paying of reparations and simply peace out, what's to prevent them as an alliance from picking other members for the same treatment.

The Wombat Protectorate has 20 members with a combined strength of 120K. The WOLFPACK has 110 members with a combined strength of 920K. What do you expect us to do about it?!?

Beck, are you a member of WP? If not, then why do you care?

I am really getting tired of other people lecturing on how this game "ought" to be played. Especially when their advice boils down to "let's you and him fight".

I do not want to be cultivated as cannon fodder for other players' political machinations. I do not want to wade into the cesspool of lameness that is the C N Forums just to keep apprised of the game world diplomatic situation.

WHEN the munchkins take notice of the WP and decide that we're easy pickings, we're going to be ground into the dust. My main interest in C N is seeing how much I can build up my nation before that happens. Drawing unnecessary attention with futile public posturing will just hasten armaggedon.

Sorry for caring. I've been reading the posts of the people in this thread for years and you get to care what happens to them. I won't let it happen again.
i wasn't trying to lecture you, I was trying to warn you. I wasn't suggesting you attack the Wolfpack. What I was suggesting is there is a certain protocol that is followed in situations like this. Most alliances do not want their members raiding other nations in alliances. I would have attempted to find out if the Wolfpack is one of them. They would then rein in their member and insist on reparations. Do want you want though. I'll take my leave of this thread and no longer post here.
