Topic: [331659] What is firecast?

[4717309] JJJJJJSK (AU1) [None] :: April 2, 2017, 1:44 p.m.
Very well said Redbeauty...and as I have been ordered by JJJJJJSK never to answer any of his posts on the server and he has recently ignored my pms...the only opportunity to say my piece will now be in the forums.


How can I order you not to post rofl...  I blocked you because of your BS PM's. 

Your saying we have no place hitting you because we feel like it/  Bugger any o other wars going on, feel like hitting you so we do, whats wrong with that ??  Thats the only reason it occurs when it comes to invictus.  Pheonix or whatever you want to be called now is because it feels like a good time to burn you so we send a hit or two off. 

For the record, I havent used a firecomm against you guys since before BP and llana quit.  They have developed a bit since then lol.  But they would still burn you now just as much as they did back in the day.  You may have -44 from gems, -50 from set and lets say a -14% hero along wiht a lvl4 fire station, total of -140ish from fires ?? maybe -150 I cbf adding it up.  But ive got + 50 from equip, +42 fire damage from gems and 14% form the hero along with base damage. 

At that point im doing 70% the damage I normally would do, 70% of fires are still some pretty nice fires.  I prefer the hero with an added 2% chance of blowing buildings up though, more permenant.

Really, JJJJJJSK?

Did you finally see the reasoning behind my 9 fire castas and copied my set up? LOL....after all the digs at me about not defending? Or not knowing how to defend?

Like Redbeauty above, I was also a member of INVICTUS, for a long time, when parra, blackwidow, and others were members and do know a lot of the history and that history is still posted on our notice board, but of course you would not know this unless one of your spies informed you.

 I have also played GGE for many years and understand the way the game used to be played and you do underestimate our abilities.

Regarding your post, I play GGE differently than most, placing fire castas on every castle and OP at all times, then I choose when and when not to defend, a lot less stressful when fighting you, JJJJJJSK.

I too, have a full itinerary of high level castas also and may choose any of them to defend where and when i think necessary. My attacker can never be sure which casta I will use and does not have the ability to set his or her attack to counter.

But in your eyes up until recently this play was not acceptable. The so called 'no named alliance' changed from the name of INVICTUS, was one of the first alliances on AUS1 server to use fire castas, much to our enemies frustration and complaints and only recently have they decided to build their own fire castas and counter our defence using fire coms.

Yes, your fire coms sting, but i can still choose to defend with one of my castas, if I so wish.

As many who play are still vulnerable to 6 wave attacks most alliances need to use some form of defence and fire castas are now a necessity.

I also laughed when I read what you posted above about you now owning so many fire castas....I am so glad I have taught you to do something in this game after all you have taught me many things.....like defend my op....the one you tried to cap last month....


Carolyn

For the record, I wish I had attacked you more before I got my new OP with capture attacks, it was the ONLY fkn time you guys defended....

yes thats me taking 6k out in the CY when im attacking with casta....  It had beena while since I got a defence so decided to send a cap attack, made them start recruiting defenders again, was a nice change :)

I also have haad that many firecastas for over 6 months, havent teched up a new one in at least 6 months, they sit in inventory rofl. 

[4717315] JJJJJJSK (AU1) [None] :: April 2, 2017, 1:53 p.m.
that we did :)
you lost 6k in the CY and from memory it broke the wall on first wave or something ??
Oh yeah I remember that day very well as I sent some defenders to that op :wink: was an eventful day that was for sure but we at PHOENIX came out victorious :smiley:
you lost 6k in the fkn keep.... how are you winning ?

[4717318] JJJJJJSK (AU1) [None] :: April 2, 2017, 1:57 p.m.
I am sorry, but you think a firecasta replaces all defence... thats the path you have decided to take so be it... but its stupid. 

I am ALL FOR FIRE CASTAS.... they have a place, but they shouldnt replace defending or when someone sends a capture attack at you like I did you loose 6k out of 9k in the keep and you call it a victory.  How in the hell is defending against a casta, from memory a sammys casta with 64 or 74 CY strength an LOOSING the wall along with 6k defenders a job well done ??

Also I love all CY gems, makes loosing the wall less of an issue, its hard enough to holdmost of the time nowwithout your HOL in defence.  GGE just hands out demons so attackign isnt like an artform or anything...

LOL  we won simply by keeping you from stealing the outpost.  Doesn't matter how many troops went to our hospitals we still beat you. 

Like I said before we don't   see you as worthy of us making the effort to defend against you. Only reason we did that day was because you were trying to steal carol's outpost simple as that. much like we kept lesky away from taking outposts from us before we kept him from doing it. So we made sure you weren't able to either. Our alliance property is exactly that OURS! So we will defend our property from being stolen from us. 

since you keep your firecastas in your storage once again I will  mention you really don't know jack about how useful they are. Nor the true concept for using them. And you have indeed used fire coms on us since big pete and lalana left the game. You used them on our leader she had strong fire castas on every castle you would hit and guess what you left zero fires.

When we were serious, we took all llanas OP's didnt we ??

That may be true jjjjjjsk but it is a little hard to defend ops from thieves, when the player in question was not playing GGE anymore and unlike some we shall leave 'nameless', we in Phoenix do not share passwords. Plus at the time we had been fighting your alliance intensely for over a week and had not much chance of defending anything...why choose to be proud of taking property you damn well know the alliance would be unable to defend.....not a very big feather in ones cap. 

Anyway, all alliances should invest in good fire castas, the more the better....it gives you an option to either place them on all castles most of the time as we do, hiding your best castas from view and spies...we also hide our glory titles from the likes of jjjjjjsk. and troops hopefully are tucked away in hiding as well or sent on long marches when inactive.
or
Use a fire casta when a 6th wave attack is coming at you and you know you are unable to defend, if the fire casta is good enough you may not have one fire to put out.

There is a lot more to using a fire castas properly and as jjjjjjsk knows deep down, i do, but we are not going to tell all our secrets.

But there is a trick to finding the pieces of equipment you need to build fire castas and fire damage coms...you find the equipment a lot more quickly when you are at war....and seeing jjjjjjsk's alliance has been at war with us for almost 5 months we have stored up quite a bit of legendary fire equipment.LOL

@Carolyn1 (AU1)

You dont have one fire casta that I would consider worthy of putting up on my walls... They are all horrid, you have struggled to get stats to -50 fire on someof them without any real loot reduction.  Your main casta is pathetic, the only place your defending, in storm where most keep a spare casta for swapping out its even more horrid, no idea what you were tryign to acheive with that one as its a dogs breakfast. 

I am sorry, half of you copied the concept from Seps on the AU server who got taught it from nemhain from the US server.  We were not that good at using them properly to start with.  We're still learning but to come here and say that your knowledge is so much better and you are all powerful when it comes to the firecasta etc etc ??  Get relaistic. 

If your game play is oh so good, how in the fk were we able to decimate your alliance to the extent that we COULD capture OP's off your ex-leader, she was active every day we were takign the OP's.....  What am I not getting here ??

Oh why did you change the description of your alliance to this as a condition of peace...

http://image.prntscr.com/image/f2512cc9b04c46f6b379644a064f954b.png

For someone that ultra awsome extra special and perfect game knowledge and understanding firecastas etc etc, how could you get into such a corner that you accept that being put in your alliance description as a condition of peace ??

Reality is, my original post regarding this topic was pretty spot on, the follow up statement that was rregarding PvP and how it stands, also pretty spot on.  The rest has been BS so far, and will remain BS. 

Your shouting from the rooftop @Carolyn1 (AU1) and @Redbeauty84 (AU1) saying how good you are and how much you know but you have been outclassed every time previously and havent added a single factual thing to this topic regarding the use of firecastas, that is what this thread is about, so provide something of use to the people that are reading it and stop tryign to troll when your so bad at it.  Just told us how good you are without providing any facts to back it up or examples.  Sure you can run firecastas everywhere, but then you end up with reports like that one your so proud of where a casta sending a cap attack because someone cant feed the troops takes out 6k of your defenders in the keep.... and your only able to manage a half arsed defence anyway.  You cant post that then say how proud you are when its a 8 hour horn and you defend like that...

why is everyone arguing about OP captures on a thread about firecasts?

[4717458] Herveus (AU1) [AU1] :: April 2, 2017, 6:14 p.m.
Like Graycat said if you want to discuss something make a discussion about it , while your posts are interesting they are imo in the wrong thread.

@Intredpid1 Posted on this thread a few hours ago... Why can't I see his post?
due to the fact that he keeps spamming the forums and flagged some of my posts, all of his posts have now been made invisible to the community. Intrepid1's posts will appear visible again after he writes a 200 page essay glorifying me and agrees to worship me.


[4717659] Freydis (AU1) [AU1] :: April 3, 2017, 2:13 a.m.


Actually jjjjjjsk, i did not change the alliance description to read that, it was you who forced your way in to write that announcement as part of your conditions for peace...which i might add only lasted 2 months.....and also if i recall the ops of Lalana's were capped after you forced me to boot her from our alliance because she was inactive.....pretty hard to defend an op when the player is not in the alliance. lol

But anyway, I apologize for jjjjjjsk leading Redbeauty and myself away from the objective of this thread, sadly he has a way of doing that to us every time.

I did not say that I was an exceptionally knowledgeable player, but I have learned a lot in the last six months of my game play since being forced into leadership amidst a time of war when others bolted from the alliance. I have possibly learned a lot of this from interactions between myself and you, jjjjjjsk...so in a way you have helped my game play....

But, my alliance must be doing something right to have only 25 members at any time and being in a war situation with the likes of jjjjjjsk's alliance which honestly out do us in number, strength and power.... for almost 8 months now....which leads me back to the importance of smaller alliances investing in fire castas.

We used them in a war with the Alchemists way back in Invictus days, when Big Pete and Lalana were the leaders, so don't tell me they are new to us.

The legendary equipment necessary for building a good fire casta should be around these items below:


Then add to those items melee and range strength and high fire protection gems.

Most importantly for smaller alliances trying to stay in the game and withstand 5 and 6 wave attacks you need to be clever, build a stronghold in your main castle to hold 500 Veteran Flame Bearers and/ or Flame Bearers. You will have 500 very strong melee troops at your disposal when you wish to defend against an incoming attack. Keep a further 500 defence troops there too, for this purpose and try to keep your glory under 1000 to stop the likes of glory hunters from finding you interesting. If you are unable to defend an oncoming attack, pull most of your defence from your castle as well as your attack troops, if you have set up a fire casta.

Don't use ruby tools change to fire arrows if you do not wish to tool rake your attacker, but if you do want them to squirm place rocks on your walls to rake their ruby tools...if anyone hits my fire castas, then they will be raked because i keep rocks on the walls at all my castles.....deters hunters from attacking, it makes them think twice.

One of the best pieces of fire casta equipment is purchased using oil in Burning Sands from your village when you level it up to 4 the "The Iron Mask":

                                                   


Use a firestation maxed to as high as you can and, most importantly, keep your moat protected at all times with fire moats.

JJJJJJsjsk go bleet     up someone else's goat. you are not going to win any favours by being a nasty so and so. 

I did give actual  information on how to use fire castas  you were just too busy being an up yourself egotistical  narcissist that you failed to see it.

As carol said to loot for the pieces needed to create the fire castas you do need to create one to begin with. like any amour pieces with fire reduction on it. fire reduction is more vital as it means you will spend less resources putting them out and you wont have to waste your rubies.  the legendary armour of the firefighter is the best for fire reduction as it has higher % on it. for loot reduction you need to look for the legendary armour of the concealed. Having a fire casta that combines both to the max despite what jjjsk tells you is not achievable. you either have one dedicated to fire reduction or one for loot reduction. you can combine them but one statistic is going to be more then the other depending on how many fire % and loot reductions you have. 

There are other ways to prevent players from taking your resources it is called removing them from your castles just in time for the attack to land. have minimum troops there for there to be no glory given. Not everybody learnt how to create them from your precious seps others like myself actually learnt from other people and from trial and error. I did not always belong to one of the big alliances, Long before I was in INVICTUS I  was in one of those 'no name' small alliances called Empire Sims Alliance. and shortly after myself and a few others who followed me to INVICTUS because Big Pete was kind enough to give us refuge after our second war with solid guards which was then run by Frankthetank.

I started to learn how to create fire castas and coms way back in my small alliance days. and that small alliance had zero  associations with the seps. It is only now that I am truly utilising them. But I have known of their importance for a ong time.

for every alliance defence should be the first option...  The onlyplace where a firecasta is pretty much the first choice is on a metro or a capital. 

I loose more tools to a single hit that is defended than to 6 hits where you toolrake...

[4717746] Freydis (AU1) [AU1] :: April 3, 2017, 9:45 a.m.
