I'd be glad to... if his army wasn't roughly a tenth my size. Can't hit him, though he'd be a GREAT target for most in the 50-54 range. Especially Dwarves, with a few weapon/Siege upgrades. 100K in the bank, plus the cost of an upgrade? That'd equal a MAJOR payout.
I upgraded from Camp with no siege to this in ONE day <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'd just like to say that I'm against any kind of promotion of Kings of Chaos. Why? It's a non-profit pyramid scheme. There's no depth.
I'm more against Outwar, which is an evil of it's own kind.

Jesus, quit bashing the game. This is a thread where everyone posts about themselves having <b>fun</b>. If you're going to be negative, don't post here. You don't have to play the game, but we're going to.
Im getting beat around like a weak carpet in a tornado. Expanding so fast sucks I found out, everyone at my stength has strongholds and dynamite while I have my measely stuff. I've been stocking on shields and long bows for ages now, with my attack and defence slowly rising. Maybe soon I can actually attack enough at once to get my fortress...
if you don't like losing money, don't let it lie around. Accumulate some, use attack points on the wealthier enemies to get the amount you need, use left overs however.
I'm finding that the people in the 40-power range usually have $130k or more, whereas those in the 80-power area might have half that, at best.
I hate smacking around those who are only half as strong as my army, but that's where the money is. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Buh, I was at ~92 men, but every time I attacked I lost at least 1, sometimes as many as 3! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Now I'm like waaaay down to 86. I didn't really want to risk losing more guys, so I just stopped attacking at 200k and bought a steed and some other miscellaneous stuff. Any reason why I'm having so many casualties?
I'm up near the 80's now too. Heh, I'm goin' for that #1 spot! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Since passing 75, I've started losing at least 1 in every battle. I can usually replace them right away with mercs, but I find the mercenaries all get sold <i>really</i> quick whenever I'm trying to replace the cannon fodder.
I'm losing a couple every now and then, I'm currently at 51, how 'bout a little lovin? edit: URL removed because of too much clickage
interestingly enough I'm an elf and I have a much higher attack rating, maybe I should buy a steed but I do about 10 times the damage as others in my power rating.
further edit: So much clicking gave me a much larger army than I'm prepared to work with.

Wait 'til you're up around 300. You tend to lose about 10-20 soldiers per battle, though it's random... I'm fairly certain it's when you attack armies smaller than you, you run a much higher risk of taking casualties. Larger than you... still may lose some, but they lose LOADS more. It's all a matter of chance. Also, you pull down enough for a Merc each turn, just on your own cash. So it's less of an issue. Annoyingly enough, it seems that Mercs don't ALWAYS get wasted first. That or any losses, regardless of where from, come out of your Merc Pool... which would be kinda cool, as it'd mean the 12 Untrained soldiers I lost were counted as Mercs, and can just be re-bought.
Anyone have an idea of how many bonus points each upgrade level gives you? Want to get the numbers, so I don't have to waste spies guesstimating my ability to whup on my enemies. AFAIK, Fortress grants you an additional 1000 defense bonus. Anyone able to post the bonuses for Stockade, Walled Town, and Stronghold? Heck... the offense bonuses as well, while we're at it.
Talesin: right now I have a fortress and 1540 defenc bonus. So When you take away my 2 helmets, it is 1500 for the fortress, but thats the best I can do for ya.

Attack/Defend bonus: 650 / 520
Your fortifications: Walled Town
Your sieging capability: Battering Ram
