I forgot to set the alarm rate to critical, and as a result, 1 250 000 000 were stolen from me. ARRRRGH!
I got three million at least stolen from me while I was asleep today. I am definitely putting more into my defenses now.
Strike that, four million.

I hope you got some weapons to buffer it and good covert.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
Right now, it really makes more money trying to attack people. 40k naq a turn sounds nice, but how does that compare to 900k naq every 15 turns? Gotta build up your arsenal fast!
I'm making 172k per turn = 2.58 million in 15 turns.

You're gonna get farmed unless you build some deeefense.
I was farmed for four million this morning and I have been building my forces up. It's what I am mostly using my naquadriah now.
It's also one of the reasons why I wouldn't mind being an officer of someone that charges 25% tax.

I'd most likely outpace you in the military department far faster than you can build enough to farm me.
You have a total of 1500 units that can be turn into a sizeable army. I have 5000 at my disposal ready to go at a moment's notice and with my income, I will destroy you.
P.S.- My defensive action easily beats your attack by 300%

Is that a challenge?
On second thought, the ensuing death toll would likely be catastrophic, one way or the other (almost certainly heavily slanted towards me). Takes a bit of the fun out of sport between allies. Still, I wouldn't recommend doing anything foolish, like joining Crystalforce or something. I still control the combined might of the Legions of SDN.

I attack people and use it to build up my production rate. You aren't thinking long term - you will hit a limit where you are fighting over people to farm with the others who go straight raiding (see recent complaints about hauls in the regular thread), I will hit the point where my ability to expand my forces will outstrip yours, and it will keep growing.

Yes, very catastrophic considering I can buy the 500k weapons with ease and even easier to train legendary defenders to the mix.
Eh, I'm not leaving.

Very true. Think about it, will you be better have a Pop growth of 5000 a day or 20k a day? The person with 20k a day will be doing better than the 5k by a factor of 4 every single day and he will soar much farther ahead.
Edit: So you may be able to farm those who decided to mainly invest in population/worker technologies but there will be a point when these same people will be able to afford defenses and stop you with your little army. Like I could against Ire now.
Which in the end means, I'll be having more fun than I do now attacking various one million naquadriah holders.

You've made your point.
By the way, how do I regulate my "Income to Officers" level in ChaosWars?
Noble Ire wrote:By the way, how do I regulate my "Income to Officers" level in ChaosWars?
You mean redistribute? I'd guess in the Officer's list section.
Fact: Don't try and give it to one person, he'll get all the naquadriah in the bank because of a bug.

No, I'm referring to "Income to Officers". For example, Nephyts' is at 5%, I believe.
The point of being a commander in Chaos is income to you, not to them. You act as a bank, taking so much per turn then putting it back into them at a later point.
On a different note, I haven't passed this with Spoon yet, but Seven(my allaince) is a very war like alliance. Could we maybe look at a peace treaty, and Seven help you against CF for a while? Again, I haven't passed this with Spoon, so don't get all hetic on me in one night.

Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to.

Makes sense, I suppose. Thanks.

If you approve it amongst yourselves, then I would have no problem allying Legions of SDN with Seven. I would very much like to see CF ground into the dust, and your assistance in that regard would be much appreciated.

Spoon now knows of the situation, we'll have a decision soon. ^^

OK while it hasn't been completely confirmed, we will most like ally with you and help in this war on CF. Spoon likes the idea of being involved in such a large scale war. Some notes of war though:
First thing is first, orginazation. Officers and allaince vaults. You might not like loosing 2% of your income, but it's worth it to be able to hit one single target with such a huge combined force. Organize yourself into about 3 main commanders, maybe four. Have everyone else below them as officers and set taxes at 25%. When you have enough an entire commander strike on one target is very useful. Covert is the way to go. If you have 40 cazillion strike with no covert, and I've got a mere 300 covert, you're screwed. I'll sabb all your weapons away before you can even touch me.
I haven't read through all this thread yet, I will soon. What I just told you is so general knowledge for war.

If they can't see how much you have, they aren't likely to blow a turn to find out. I'm ranked 96 for covert action.
Also, if you have a high covert action, they aren't as likely to manage to sab your weapons before they attack.

As with all battles, this one has been recorded for the official history of your realm. You, of course, are the first to know the results as they are reported directly to you first. This is the official report of the battle:
The army of Ragnar stormed the realm of Hel_Jugoth!
Ragnar sent:
3 Prior and 7 Preacher of the Faith
Careful and thourough observation records that the troops were armed as follows:
2 Prior have Fire Creation
1 Prior came unarmed!
7 Preacher of the Faith came unarmed!
Opposite this, stood the forces of Hel_Jugoth
Hel_Jugoth resisted the aggressors with:
0 Doci and 0 Defender of the Faith
Careful and thourough observation records that the army carried the following arsenal:
In a fury, the two opposing forces clash!
The forces of Ragnar rush in full force, and inflict 1,029 damage on Hel_Jugoth's forces!
It was confirmed that 0 of Hel_Jugoth's forces fell at the hands of Ragnar's assult.
The forces of Hel_Jugoth fought back with all they could, and managed to inflict 3 damage on Ragnar's forces!
They managed to eradicate 0 of Ragnar's troops.
Putting down the chronicled battle report, you cross reference and call for the corrosponding military armory reports to see the state of your weapons after such a battle...
Your Fire Creation went from strength 120 to 114 (now 114/120 and 5 percent damaged)
The forces of Ragnar disillusioned those of Hel_Jugoth
The forces of Hel_Jugoth flee from the battlefield! One could see glory on the face of the victors, and spite on the defeated!
Considering what was available at the time in the realm of Hel_Jugoth, it is recorded that
a total of 1,764,514 Naquahdriah was taken from the realm of Hel_Jugoth
Many wonder if Hel_Jugoth will consider retaliation, but - when force meets force - there will have to be some changes in the preparedness of Hel_Jugoth before such a feat should wisely be considered!

I have a theory, as of yet untested, that the best time to attack is the morning, since most people would have had all right to build up naq while there sleeping, and would thus probably have more money then than later on in the day.
I am now ranked 65 for defensive action.
