It is if you're killing the most active of thier hitters keeping them out of the war as much as possible.

if all the bigger ones have 70% SDI and above is it better than not using them and losing them when your country is killed ;) It is far from ideal tho.

Lets see, waste 180 chems a kill on a built country, or 40 ish chems on a 800k country.

Since the 180 chem kill, the big one will most likely log on before he is dead, making it all useless. The readiness can be used for anyone so we have to shoot them at something. Might as well shoot them at something that will die, and get readiness, as opposed to doing neither.

I'd shoot em at the 400k NW country with 0 SDI. Get the most kills out of my chems. In the end, it's all about numbers anyways.

I'd dissagree

I'd much rather kill or seriously fluff up a breaker with 150 chems than kill 3 restarts.

While you are killing our restarts your breakers are getting fewer and fewer every day.

Don't matter if you have 300 more kills if you can no longer break the other clans tops, you will lose the war.

Well, if the breakers are going to defend 9 out of 10 chems, it would be senseless to waste them on the breaker. I'd be more willing to waste turns CD or SR the breaker then wasting chems that are just gonna bounce anyways.

Sooo, you fired 300 cruise missiles at my country in hope of weakening it, since then started 3 seperate kill runs on it as well, and it is still alive and killing you with very little inconveniance.

Meanwhile, we fire 40 missiles at an FA'ed restart, and he loses the 80 turns he had handy.

SO the 40 missiles we fired, did more damage then your 300 cruises, and 370 some odd other attacks on top of those.

But you are correct about 300 missles and turns being wasted in that case....

Some people dont seem to understand a war with 300 countries is very different to ones with 50 or less....

i wouldtn dump the chems on a target with 50% or more sdi. the bigger the target with as little sdi as possible would get my chem vote. for an extremely active country and he has like 50% id cruise the fluff outta it then chem :P

you might be killin a restart with only 40 chems but how long will it take for the next one to get to that level compared to how long it takes a breaker to get to 5mil nw?

Kemo, after our FS, had a total of 19 chem kills. Those 19 kills were all countries in the entire clan that were under 70% sdi.

So use em on starts, or throw em away.

just work out how many chems you wastse on high SDI countries and then work out how many lower NW countries you would kill....


This game has always been about the numbers, waste 1k missiles and 1k-2k turns killing nothing or get 20-60 extra kills. all means less tuns the other side has to kill with....

even though this thread tastes a little trolly, I'll bite...

Completely depends on the countries killing. I could see a rare few situations where it would make good sense.....but honestly, not that many.

SoF's strategy of killing NW over chasing kills seems to be paying off though. It's now more like a %35 ANW gap....which is awful big in a war where neither side has 5mil ANW yet.

NBK definitely needs to start going after bigger kills, or they'll be out of this thing in a couple days as far as actually being able to "win" it....although given past history, they'll hang in no matter what, which does tend to pay off for 'em in the long run.

lol yeah thats pretty lame. If a country is dead it doesn't really matter who killed it, it's still dead.

It's way too early to decide who is winning but SOF is doing a great job so far as is NBK. I think the week of Christmas will be the determining factor as I expect both sides will have a lot of inactives. So it may come down to who has the most people still hitting during that week.

You mean like that time AoDT said they beat us because the set ended with certain numbers in their advantage, but then the next set we FS them and tag killed within 2 days. A tag I'm yet to see again in FFA.

You guys have to survive for another month first :P
With only 140 countries out of protection, you have a lot less then half of what you started with (We have no problem finding targets to break either). And your HPK is dropping like a rock too, now that you gotta target our active members cause those are the ones who have mains left ;)

And if we were only killing restarts like some of your fellows claim we do, your AVG NW would go up, not stay the same / slowly fall.

In all fairness, those 60'ish restarts are really dragging down SoF's ANW. They have some pretty sexy breakers....if you guys don't get to work on 'em soon, they're gonna make you pay for it.

coutries left at end of set, nw killed, hahaha

look at hpk and total kills and total hits like its used in EVERY war as a measure who won.

i still havent seen those complete stats yet. but i can imagine it would tell a different story than you are.

Just because SoF doesn't carry grudges, doesn't mean NBK doesn't/won't. Even if you have 0 AoDT in SoF next set, Twiz and Maki are elsewhere, I still wouldn't be shocked if NBK warred you :-P

If you read my posts mdevol reguarding this war, I never made any statement in any on direction about kills vs NW killed.

I was just posting your post, where you countered yourself...

And the quote you made of me, was saying maki/aodt changes their opinion, that wasnt my opinion it was yours.

As for stance, the way it is going you have to admit we won the last war, or are easily winning this one, you cant argue differently for both....
