Sorry, but currently our clan is in over our head against the two other clans. That and the fact that I got no turns left. What your clan really need is more members.

I'm doing swimmingly aginst FITO now, My Nuke Defense is off the scale thanks to a few hundred turn investment, Nearly 80% Sat Construction now so day after tommrow I should have my orbiting Death Rays up and running :wink:

And my Fleet is kicking serious ass(20 Flat-tops with a hundred fighters of each type plus a 40 Cruiser escout with 12 Destroyers backing them up, I lost a single Crusier and 4 B-2s in exchange for over 70 Kills to date)

I joined some clan. My networth is now ~$442,000. Are Humvees better than Flamethrowers?

They're more expensive, but effective against infantry.

I know that, but I was wondering if the extra expense is worth the extra attack points. I think it is.

Humvee: $10 per attack point
Flame Thrower: $12 per attack point

Crap! My missile missed! I wasted 4 turns and 30 percent of my morale...

I'll try again, with an air and sea attack against some other target. Once I get enough money, I'll get another missile, and wait until I have 100% accuracy.

Also, I tried attacking one of the weaklings in the clan we're at war with, and lost. My thief only got $700, and I'm put of turns. I'm done for the day, and I'm afraid of being nuked. Will I get aid if I do?

You should wait until 85% accuracy before you fire a nuke, and that is the highest you can go. I will also say that security only makes the money stolen from you less, nothing else. This is to an old post that said it stopped thievery. If I'm not mistaken, you can't have any money stolen if you have 2000 science in security.

I get back home and come out of my mini-vacation tomorrow, any major events I should be aware of? Who are we at war with and is there anyone I have a reasonable chance of killing?

The Psychos have declared peace. All serious attacks should be on lom, but raids on the thief targets are encouraged for restoring armies. Just watch out for Gay Boy...I lost a battle to him.

A-hem. Please note that those new thief targets were pulled from my own private files, released for the public consumption so that we might bulk up real quick like. One size don't fit all, I'm afraid. :wink:

So you've been holding out one the clan huh. It's alright, the other guys that were posted were sucked dry, I can see you not wanting that to happen to those guys.

Why are your networths rising so slowly? Is it because of constant war with other clans? In that case, it might not be good to have a clan.

Meh, for a few days, anyway. I spend a good 20+ turns looking for good targets at one point, only to have the best ones sucked dry as I posted them. ;)

This way, I taste, get a few samples, make sure it's a quality crop, then post for everyone's prolonged enjoyment. :D

Besides, some people were dipping their spoons in the broth before I was done with them myself... *coughcoughAzadiacoughcough* ;)

No fair figuring out the methods to my madness. :P

But anyway, most people seemed pretty competant at finding their own thief targets apart from the ones on the posted list, but when all hell broke loose, I shared the love so everyone could try and jump back to high power, as it were.

Besides, missiles are expensive, especially when you need them ASAP.

Well... There's the benefit of having someone watch your back, and then once the clan gets a multiple of 5000 points, you get a big bouns.

Yeah, besides, at some point you're going to want to stop, hunker down, and research something. Like nukes. Get that up to 85%, and then get 5-10 clan points per missile strike! Hoorah!

Yeah, it's because of constant clan war. All together, I've lost well over 200,000 in networth.
