[23:55] Dianais: Don't fully understand Paradigm... And effectively BC wants some sort of commitment, I guess.
[23:55] Crector: My defensve forces wee destroyed defending xXdemonisXx's castle against attackers from an alliance I subsequently made a Non-Aggression Pact with.
[23:58] Crector: Actually, one of his attackers was from the Alaska Pirates....are they not a sub of ours?
[00:00] Dianais: I am writing to Garym tonight. From your contact with SR and from M contact with SF, they have doors open already.
[00:00] Dianais: My first preference is SR because they are closer.
[00:01] Crector: Do you have his email address? He's hardly been online at all lately.
[00:02] Dianais: Garym has the prerrogative to change alliance name, and he did change the name once at least. The only constraint at this point might be ruby availability... I still don't know how much is required to change name.
[00:02] Dianais: Will try to search in the forum.
[00:02] Dianais: No e-mail.
[00:07] Crector: In other games I've been in, it was common for player teams to have outside of game means of communicatin such as email lists and passwored protected forums...not so in this game.
[00:09] Dianais: Lee is complaining you spied him/her...
[00:09] Crector: From the leader fo the BiT "Elite": I was kinda leaving you alonebut I caught the spy so now your next
[00:10] Dianais: Also already attacking... also still inviting me to change allegiance...
[00:10] Crector: I almost always spy on those attacking us and sometimes sabo them as well.
[00:11] Crector: He must think you're a hot date......
[00:12] Dianais: My bet is Lee will need to rebuild the attack force... But if Lee attack you about this time one of the next days, it's likely you will not have online players able to support your defense.
[00:13] Crector: Can you send support troops to someone not in our alliance or allied to us?
[00:13] Dianais: No.
[00:14] Crector: A friend of mine in another alliance who's also under attack just asked if I could support him...I replied that I was helping someone else.
[00:14] Dianais: But a common thing when a friendly alliance is under attack is to temporarily switch there, both to attack and support defense as good as possible.
[00:15] Dianais: Explain to your friend that the game does not allow this.
[00:16] Crector: ok
[00:22] Crector: Vice Duke...does that come with any special privilileges such as Count Palatime getting Crossbowmen 30% off the regular price?
[00:24] Crector: He lost 1,280 troops....will cost him a bundle to replace them.
[00:27] Dianais: Don't think Vice Duke has any special privileges yet.
[00:27] Dianais: He may have a second army already. If he has to rebuild it, you will safe at least for a couple of days.
[00:28] Dianais: From him, but he may send someone else.
[00:29] Crector: Arthelan has attacked bsbarn twice lately.
[00:31] Crector: Does being online help you defense apart from being able to transfer troops fropm the outposts?
[00:32] Dianais: This time I found that given the attack, I could win both sides. Then I changed from 100% at one side to 50% at each side.
[00:33] Dianais: I also noticed the lack of tools against ranged defense. Then I put 70% ranged at both sides.
[00:33] Crector: Because you outnumbered the attackers?
[00:36] Dianais: Two sides won mean 30% extra defense in the keep. Which were in favor of reinforcements from the outposts and from you guys.
[00:37] Dianais: Of course the more the troops in the keep, the more the damage in the enemy attack. Past the critical number allowing victory, the more the troops in the keep the less damage you sustain from the enemy attack.
[00:39] Crector: What is more helpful tar r pitch kettle of machiolation?
[00:42] Dianais: So he had some guys ready...
[00:46] Dianais: I have most of my in transit, I am recalling a contingent that could make it in time.
[00:47] Dianais: I can send about 600.
[00:48] Dianais: Do you have tools available?
[00:49] Crector: Don't send anything.
[00:50] Dianais: 650 on the way, but I can recall if you confirm.
[00:50] Crector: Recall...I havve hardly and defense troops available.
[00:51] Crector: Do have 75 Flaming Arrows and 56 defense rocks and other tuff, but not enough to make a difference.
[00:52] Dianais: Recalling.
[00:54] Dianais: Also, hee is sending ruby tools against your resource tools.
[00:55] Crector: What's ruby tools?
[00:56] Crector: From the same OP from where he attacked you...why did he not send those troops against you?
[00:57] Dianais: He already sent the max the game allowed.
[00:57] Dianais: Given a player level you have a max attack allowed.
[01:00] Dianais: 1280 is the max against my level, assuming no gems are part of the equipment of the commander.
[01:05] Crector: Too bad you can't send fremen...
[01:06] Dianais: Ruby tools, example: stones are resource tools, you build them with stone and wood, they give 25% extra defense at the walls.
[01:07] Dianais: Tar pit kettles are ruby tools, you build them with rubies once you have the proper barrack level, they give 40% extra defense at the walls.
[01:09] Dianais: Machicolations are ruby tools, you only got to buy them from an armorer with rubies, the armorer staying at your castle yard for a couple of days each month or so, they give 50% extra defense at the walls.
[01:10] Dianais: Ruby tools have a definite advantage against resource tools, there are ruby tools in each category, both for attack and defense. I bet they provide much of the income for GGE. I mean, players buying rubies to buy ruby tools and the like.
[01:13] Dianais: Non ruby players get the rubies the hard way... thru quests, and attacks to robber barons, and the like.
[01:24] Crector: I kniow that by experience
[01:27] Crector: Actuallt, there are a growing number of online games that thget their income through the sale of in-game items.
[01:53] Dianais: Desert attack to sunny... too far for support.
[02:03] Dianais: Nite.
