My Lord, I bear the most heart-wrenching news:

I'm sorry to report that, with too few homes built, the brutal winter claimed 18166 lives, lost to the unrelenting cold.
Regrettably, due to insufficient Guard Houses, the harsh winter took 1269 of our precious soldiers, succumbing to the merciless cold.

Realms successfully cast an Earthquake spell on your kingdom, destroying 406 of your buildings

You got me hard. Say, how many wizards did you used for it?

It looks like Off Spells need to be revamped.

Nolio

How many schools to land and wizards do you have? That would have an effect I would imagine

DougEfresh

Nolio no matter his schools and wiz, a kingdom shouldnt be able to destroy 1/3rd of your buildings in one spell

Sosleepy

Yeah, that one is overkill.

trupheus

Offensive spells are a very hard thing to balance. Now if we find out he’s also running 1:1 GH that can be retrained in 15 hours… that’s a problem. Something like this I would hope takes extreme measures by the caster.

DougEfresh

dunno if hes running 1:1 but i saw a very lopsided br of his where he won

trupheus

DougEfresh

Yeah if he’s doin that with 1:1 it better be 10k wiz.

I’ll do some testing maybe. You gotta keep your eye out for when I turn into gargamel of trupheus.

TheKeeper

I don't want to unveil sensitive KD info, but that EQ used an insane amount of Wizards, plus Race bonus, and a massive amount of schools, target KD has little magic defense.

xiAo-Shin Star

TheKeeper

If that is so, it looks like its better to switch to off spells rather than attacking with low chances of winning because of CLI

King Haybol

Holy shit! What a bunch of small KDs could kill a big KD using offensive spells. And if I took the retal, I have no CLI since they're below my range and also have KS penalties. Damn Spells!. Good luck for those pure troops KDs.

Astronaut successfully cast an Earthquake spell on your kingdom, destroying 630 of your buildings

King Haybol
Small kingdoms? They're both in the top 30

Lord Thane

King Haybol wowowow, that's a lot of damage! I built 0.3 schools and 5:1 wizards to keep on hand just for magic defense. Can't be too safe on that!

King Haybol

skigglez they're both out of my range. Less than 70%

skigglez

King Haybol
Astronaut is 52k, what are you talking about dude

King Haybol

skigglez I'm originally at 73K KS. Yeah I think Astronaut is still in my range. Hehe

trupheus

Ouch. Did you have any schools/wiz to defend yourself from such magic attacks?

King Haybol

trupheus nope. I destroyed all my schools already.

skigglez

Someone should do a snapshot of the KHOF to see how many new elf kingdoms pop up in the next couple of days 🙂

DougEfresh

does no one else see a problem with this? 100 land worth of buildings killed in 2 spells

Wild Dogs

DougEfresh I hinted at it a couple days ago when I said eq is no different than attacking since you lose troops due to lack of gh space...

DougEfresh

Lord Thane so i guess yes, noone see a problem with that

King Haybol

Lord Thane Is this guaranteed? I will compromise other buildings for this schools. 🤣🤣🤣

xiAo-Shin Star

DougEfresh

It's either they don't see the problem or maybe "Nahh, i'm not on their side. thats better for them"

Instead of checking on it and make some changes before Off spells are taking over the game. Magic defense is not the solution for this.

skigglez

King Haybol
No you weren’t. You were 73k earlier in the day and got army wiped. You were middle of the pack in top 30 when you got EQ’d. I don’t see the point in lying about something like that, everyone knows you weren’t 73k

Nolio

King Haybol You were at 57K ks, Katy was at 58.5 as in was BIGGER than you, and Goldwood was at 38.5k ks. That said, ouch that looks awful
