Emp Smashers

I'm looking for a few players to work with me at getting this emperor broken asap. I can do it myself but it'll take 2 weeks without good land.

Message empire 11 if you wish to participate. Skill levels don't matter, anyone can be taught

I'll be cashing solo, but I might send some money your way

Lets take out his leaders first.

The emperor?

Assuming he's on a 175 ratio, he has about 44mil leaders. Which seems like a doable takedown given enough people. unfortunately him being unclanned makes things more difficult.

Please do. It would be interesting to see how the suicide changes work against an opponent with an overwhelming leader advantage.

Dear internet warlords:

He has 2.5 million land, and it's safe to assume that that's half huts. Why, do you ask? Because he's been made "realistic".

So assume he has 1.25 million huts, giving him a grand total of about 218,750,000 leaders.

Now, if the other half of the land is towers, that will also pose a problem, and still make leader suicides fastest, because they're based on a portion of the defender's leaders. It all just remains to be seen if you knock off a few million a chunk or a few hundred thousand.

If it were realistic it would be all huts.

Kilkenne · July 05, 2011, 12:59:39 PM

and here I was hoping that it would be half towers too to add 625m defense points to the troops to make everyone's stuff die hilariously.

oops, I must have misread that calculator result. If he's full huts, should be 440mil lol.

Just because we crunch numbers doesn't mean its necessary.

Breaking on one troop type is mostly meaningless.

And given the most likely troop to break is also the one that carries no net value, it is even more meaningless.

Neobaron · July 05, 2011, 01:02:17 PM

He said half was huts half towers firey.

Kilkenne · July 05, 2011, 01:06:39 PM

That's just my best guess. If I were going to make an emp that'd be difficult to break because of the attack limit, that's what I'd do. I'd more likely actually make it 66% huts 33% towers, because then the ratio would be over 175 for leader/land defense, with the massive land gap. He'd have like 288 million leaders and the equivalent of 384 million in defending, due to the tower modification. I think that gets adjusted down but I'm too lazy to look right now. It'd likely be an equivalent 320m or so, but still funny, and enough to anchor him above us for a good long while.
