Rockman, you're way off base here with saying the ones that hit were only 20% of my networth. That would mean they were only $400k net which is definitely not the case. Especially since the 1st ones that hit were losing between double and 5 times what I was losing and the only time they didn't get through was when they used missiles.
I checked SemperFi's country list for a country with 363 defends. #44 was the only one with that amount. Maybe when I looked at SemperFi's news for a country with 363 defends in the last 24 hours (12 minutes after you wrote your post), yours didn't show up, but another one by sheer coincidence did have exactly 363 defends? Are we talking about #44, or another country?
If we are talking about #44, then...
It was 2.9 million networth. 20% of 2.9 million is not 400k. Its just shy of 600k (580k to be exact). And I would say that the average country that hit you was about 600k networth, if you check its news.
The first country to hit you is 627k networth
Second country is 524k
Third country is 630k
Fourth country is 592k
Fifth country is 561k
Sixth country is 544k
Seventh country is 472k
Eighth country is 845k
Ninth country is 569k
Tenth country is 524k
And so on...
Given that 20% of your networth was 580k, I think calling them 20% of your networth was quite accurate rather than being way off base.
You were hit by 3 EMs, and 360 GS, 51 of the 360 GS being bounced attacks. It took 309 successful GS to kill you because of the networth differences. And despite being just 20% of your networth, they only bounced 51 GS on you.
If we are not talking about #44, then the fact that they never bounced any GS and still took 363 hits to kill you means that networth differences, and lack of strategy tech or tyranny government bonus limited their damage. That was the game mechanics limiting their damage. They are low networth restarts, when you're restarting in a war and not getting FA, it is highly unlikely that you'll get a large amount of strategy tech, and it will be difficult to grow big without FA while spending as many turns as possible killing.
If there is any evidence that NBK sucks, it would be their lack of high networth countries, but given that they got FSd by a larger alliance quite a while ago, I don't think that would be an appropriate conclusion to draw from their lack of high networth countries. Trying to use the number of hits it takes them to kill a country as evidence that they suck shows that you have no clue how the game mechanics for warring works, which is evidence that you suck, but says nothing about whether or not they know what they are doing. It just shows that you don't know what you are doing.
