  So much for the 33%  

I was under the assumption that slaves only get 100 % protection when they are attacked on an enslave attack .... Well i attacked this guy 5 times on normal attack not enslave attack and each time he got support, You might be asking why keep attacking well mostly because after the 3rd time of support I was thinking its got stop after the fifth time i decided i didnt want to find out anymore

counter crazy , your completely wrong in your assumption so go learn the game before posting things like ` i cant believe you guys cant answer this for yourselfs... ` because frankly i just want to point out how clueless you are to the point you run off crying like a sissy girl , but that would be impolite and informal of me

Well the slaver being out of dp make it alot more likely he actually have 3rd and 4th stacks, that goes without saying

When a slave master is out of DP... reinforcements come alot of the time.. plus i noticed the aggression/careful thingy sometimes play into it

i cant believe you guys cant answer this for yourselfs...

Ive been burned like that but I think we never notice the 10 straight attacks on various empires that goes off without masters showing up... Hell Ive had it happen three times on one empire, I give up and try another three times but on balance its probably about 33% of the time.

The thing about non defendant probability events (Like flipping a coin) is it does not matter what happened with the last event the probability of X is still just as likely this time.

the slave wouldnt complain , the person atacking would...

but as its sagi its nice for him to have a taste of his own medicine ^_^

Why would a slaver complain about the 33% reinforcements? It`s only the enslave reinforcements that the slaver needs, the reinforcements for a standard attack just destroy the slavers fleet.....

depends on your race really , in 88 days of being guardian ive hit 3 reinforcements ( and won 1 of em thank god for strafez reinf ) but as a maru terran and A miner i hit em a few times a day , rarely as collective and rarely as viral

so col collective and viral in my opinion have different chances to terran A miner and maru , on turnbased i also notice this ALOT more than on RT

but as pandy says , nobody knows what the hell he did to it other than himself

Stephen changed it sometimes early this year, surprised actually that this thread hadn`t started up a lot sooner.

I was informed that someone on gc complained to stephen that it was too hard when it was only 33% for their slaves, and so he changed it, yes i know this for a fact, no i haven`t been told the exact figures. though i`d love dearly to know.

Its so pissing bottom annoying when as a maru all you want are 3 borders so you can leave np and newbieie hunt :P and you can`t because every time you hit one guy at 5k pr he`s got 40 hercs backing him up for, and i kid you not here, 10 times in a row, seriously, i changed from aggressive to careful to normal thinking to get past eventually.

so i threw a dummy spit, used some time capsules i`d saved for a age, went and whacked teh guy`s slaver and wiped him, which wasn`t easy having to climb from base pr to 5 mill pr on ultra, then i plundered everything, disbanded and whacked the slave out of sheer malice.

It was very cathardic

i still firmly beleive that in terms of reinforcements u should get them 100% of the time but the amount u receive should just be 10% of ure pr.

eg if ure at 1mil u would revieve 100k of reinforcments. this is then basicaly an extra stack so if u were fully stacked u would then have an 11th stack which would have bonus`s in flanking...

yer i no never gona happen without stephen....
meh just my 2 cent......

it happens a bit too much perhaps stephen conciders that when the ships have finally travelled to the slave empire they stay there a while and harrass their slaves

well
suppose its still possible

1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 *1/3 *1/3 = 1/243 very unlikely but still possible
