Sacking...

[bjornredtail]

 This is yet another design poll on RWL, the subject this time the sack attacks. Land is land, goods are the food and money.

 Sacking is Good for Non-Leader Massers. Like me.

[wolf bite]

 How about:

Standard attack only
Harder to do
Slightly less land
Same goods.

[calria]

 I nulled, because I think that the problem with it is not how it's coded, but how it is used... that is, if there is a problem with it. I really don't see *any* problem with it, except for that I miss it now when I play other Promisances.

[DemonSlavers]

 its because when you attack some 1 alot they lose land but when you sack them they lose everything they have which brings them down alot..

[Badrang the Tyrant]

 It's fine, but if anything changes, get more goods and less land.  The only reason I sack is to get cash or food to keep my army from desertion.

[bjornredtail]

 calria- Well, many, many elements of the game could be changed to discourage the use of sacking in undiserable cirmstances.

Wolf Bite- I'm not sure if I like the idea of haveing sacking avable just for standard (ie. all troop types) attacks. That would limit the targets of such attacks to hordes without any regular troops, given the current acceptance of troop massing. Very few warlords attempt to maintain anything close to an even split of troops, as Rats, Stoats, and to a lesser extent, skiffs have a favorable offenceive ratio, and haveing a whole lot of one troop type is better for offence than an even split. However, an addational standard only attack might convince more warlords to even out their troops more. The other ajustments would not really change targeting so much as reduce the general effectiveness, and therefore general use of the sack attack.  The latter effects are the ones I personally wish to see in Warlords, though I'm split on the effects of makeing the sack attack only avable with all troops involved.

 It's fun to sack... but it's not fun when people sack you. =D

[Wolf Snare]

 *nod*
I believe everyone comes to that conclusion eventually. :P  

[Nohcnonk]

 I say:

You need a 50% higher OP than the defenders DP to break for all attack types other than Standard Attack
Reduce land received in a sack by 75%
Reduce amount of goods received by sacking from 25% to 50% less

[DemonSlavers]

 Yes thats good

[Wolf Snare]

 *shrug*

Seeing as how I personally have been sacked a mere 5 times ever, I find this outragious.   B)  

[Ashyra Nightwing]

 My strategy relies entirely on sacking... Don't change anything about it!

[Myrhakel]

 Mmm. I'd raise the amount of goods by 25% but lower the amount of land by 75%.  

[Wolf Snare]

Mmm. I'd raise the amount of goods by 25% but lower the amount of land by 75%.

That sounds good. Yes, let's do that....
