Topic: [289850] Capital Capture on France 1
[-289850]

Hello everyone. I know this has nothing to do with En1, but I thought I'd better share the news. At the moment, we have many alliances on the French server that have Capitals, metros, labs and Royal Towers. At the moment, an alliance called "Les Fauchers", since the 1st of November 2015, have put up their capital for capture. Les Faucheurs along with La Muerte are amongst the most powerful alliances on the french server and of course, since between them, they have around 7 capitals.
At the moment, the capture is being shared between an alliance called Les Destriers and Team Records. For information, the alliance Team Records was created by a player called fyd69, and very good player who established this alliance and took it to level 50 all on his own through hitting the foreign castles and was, for a short moment, Invincible. He also managed to get himself and his alliance into the top 10 of the foreign castles tournament which is an achievement in itself.
So, anyway, the capture is being shared every single hour of the day since the start, and only those who have unlimited funds will ever take it over at the end. Les destriers captured the capital and they managed to put in 115,000 defenders. A couple of hours later, this number was reduced by 95% by fyd69 all on his own. Yes, it seems that he has either 12-15 Highlanders or 12-15 GGE commandants fully loaded with horrors. In any case, he made a mess of those defenders.

All those battles took place between 04:48am and 05:18am.
So, as it stands at the moment, they are taking it in turns to break the capture, and it seems as though it can go on for weeks, or perhaps months. Either way, I hope whoever gets it, keeps it because they would have earned it.
Many thanks.

I am a sergeant in an alliance that is in 12th position. My rank is "le terrible." At the same time, we are currently second place in storm with 228,000 points. In any case, just to give some more infomation, I am English, I live in France, and my very first account was on EN1 with the Crimson Guard back in June 2012. I was LegendaryKing64 whose posts can be found here.

i dont think the guy needs 12 super gens, it seems to me that he had a huge tower bonus. with that kind of bonus, any attempt to capture a capital or metro is just suicide. as you saw in the reports, he was losing 2-2.5K men per hit, but they lost anywhere from 5-14K men per hit.
the guys who tried that capture deserve to lose if they are really so dumb as to try to capture a capital when the enemy has that many towers still.
some guys on USA1 did the same thing a few months back, but i think it was like 300K defense that they lost, and that was only with 5 towers or so i think

When you say tower bonus, we are talking about Kings Tower bonus where the alliance gets extra bonus attack percentage against all capitals etc? If we are in agreement about those towers, then I have to inform you that neither he or his alliance have any Kings towers, which makes it even more impressive.furture (US1) said:i dont think the guy needs 12 super gens, it seems to me that he had a huge tower bonus. with that kind of bonus, any attempt to capture a capital or metro is just suicide. as you saw in the reports, he was losing 2-2.5K men per hit, but they lost anywhere from 5-14K men per hit.

i can believe some of those hits if towers are taken into account, but your expecting us to believe he did those hits with no towers? i MAY believe that if they had a really bad castellan up, and if he got 80% from gems, 30% from walls, and maybe a storms title and the invincible title to boost it to like a 160% bonus in courtyard, but even then, some of those hits? 14K men in 1 hit? you sure he didnt jump to another alliance that owned towers to do it or something?blackadder1973 (FR1) said:When you say tower bonus, we are talking about Kings Tower bonus where the alliance gets extra bonus attack percentage against all capitals etc?

even with no idea how to defend, numbers like that? thats like having only ranged troops and the guy sent a melee horror army at it. not knowing how to defend means you lose the walls, so a bonus 30% for the enemy in the courtyard, but thats a 7:1 ratio. a 30% bonus does not give a 7:1 ratio. we can see from other reports that the defense was not nearly so bad, some reports cost only 3-4K men, so they clearly have so clue on what to do. but other reports showing 9-14K losses?celine09 (INT1) said:OR future

i have seen plenty of super gen armies hitting and losing after only wiping out only 5K men or less on USA1. even in the attempt of FS on the metro, they had hits going as high as 7 or 8K losses with KTs and a super gen. but this guy can do 14K with no KTs?

I understand there may be some doubts as to the credibility, however, I have played on the EN1 server and I remember some of the biggest ruby whales around like RKKing. However, this guy is beyond that. He started in October 2014 and was level 70 legendary 800 in August of this year. He was the one who gave us the information about the price of the Highlander i.e. 1.9 million rubies without gems. For this guy, there really is no limit.furture (US1) said:even with no idea how to defend, numbers like that? thats like having only ranged troops and the guy sent a melee horror army at it. not knowing how to defend means you lose the walls, so a bonus 30% for the enemy in the courtyard, but thats a 7:1 ratio. a 30% bonus does not give a 7:1 ratio. we can see from other reports that the defense was not nearly so bad, some reports cost only 3-4K men, so they clearly have so clue on what to do. but other reports showing 9-14K losses?celine09 (INT1) said:OR future

i understand that he possibility exists, and i have not said its impossible, im just saying i doubt it. its like one guy jumps from 100 feet up and dies, then another guy jumps from 200 feet and lives. is it possible? sure, but how likely is it?

It is highly improbable in fact. The bailli is quasi non-existant from what I have been told, so it is understandable that there were so many losses. As for the battle reports, the guy who had about 10 hits in about 10 minutes has no royal tower or anything of that kind so, he sent a God comm to hit a plain castle. For the guy who took out 14,000 defenders in one hit, well, his alliance has 5 royal towers but get this, no capital. Do you find that strange that an alliance can capture that many RTs yet have no capital?furture (US1) a dit :i understand that he possibility exists, and i have not said its impossible, im just saying i doubt it. its like one guy jumps from 100 feet up and dies, then another guy jumps from 200 feet and lives. is it possible? sure, but how likely is it?
To add further information, the guy fyd69 has a fan club over here and everyone is willing him on to take the capital because he has unlimited funds. However, his alliance is currently in a war with the alliance that has an interest in the capital too. The problem with that he is such an attacking player in the game, that he never recruits defenders because of all of his God comms and his 6 waves plus horrors etc. This can be worrying since his alliance would not only have to recruit defenders to defend the capture, but also defend him at the same time, since the other alliance is going after him, since logically speaking, being an all out attacking player means he is the weakest link of the alliance. I'll leave you to give me your opinions of the above.

Honour has been in the game longer than power rankings, and the way you said that speaks of being a newbie. I was here before the capitals arrived,and being number 1 in Honour counted for a great deal in the old days. As for power points, they don't tell you anything other than the ones with the most powerpoints are the ones who invest lots of money in horrors at 85k rubies at a time when a horror equals 8 power points. There was a newbie who was a level 20 and he had over 63,000 horrors which means he had over 504,000 power points. However, no-one told him that he had to attack non-stop since he didn't have enough food to feed them. Secondly, those who invest heavily in unique equipment or God commanders i.e. highlander which can cost 99k rubies, 199k rubies and then 499k rubies for each piece of equipment thereafter also get powerpoints. There is a level 35 on our server who has 24 Crystal palaces in his Chateau and he has lots of power points because of those. So, don't be fooled into thinking powerpoints makes you strong, powerpoints are equal to a players spending ability in the game.celine09 (INT1) a dit :Blackadder, what has honor got to do with power?

News just in that another attempted capture has been broken by les destriers. The player who captured it only a few hours ago had 160,000 defenders, but they were dismantled in 50 attacks. Unfortunately, we have ruby whales over here too and it is slowly ruining the game. We have one player who has been level 35 for the last few months and all he does are the achievements and the wheel of fortune game, suffice to say, he has been successful, since he has 24 Crystal palaces in his Castle and outpost.

I will keep you posted as to how it is going on.
ps/
Just one question, if a level 35 captures a capital, how many waves could he face, since he is only level 35, which means 4 waves. Would the rules change if he captured the capital? I have heard rumours that if a level 35 captures a capital, he can only face 4 waves, so, this is something that I have been itching to ask. Many thanks in advance.

Further to the above post, there were 52 attacks sent to dismantle the 160,000 defenders and it only took 17 hits apparently, with one player taking out 11,000 in one hit.
