I seem to have solved the broke mountain problem by upgrading AT also.

Details on the broke mountain please and how AT affected it.

My attack was at 1 while my defense was at like 5 or 6. I was only getting 1 or 2 cents in the mountain. After I upgraded my attack to 2, I started getting 10-12 cents from the mountain.

My next move was to up my attack to 3, where I got about the same or a little less from the mountains.

My latest move was to up attack to 4, and since then I have been getting about 5 cents. I suspect I have to balance my other stats in order to get more from the mountains.

I have noticed that at times your take from mountains seems to vary at random. Seems sometimes you make out like a bandit and then you play your afternoon moves and the mountains have be resupplied with bottlecaps.

The amount you get from the mountains is random... but when they made the upgrades, for the 1st time since I have played one of the randomized options was 0 cents!... and that was coming up ALOT.

It appears that some of the other strategic thinkers also realized that the best strategy was to keep attack low and build up defense, as we have been suggesting here. This was maximizing the amount going to the strong players and making large cashouts possible.

As best as I can tell, keeping AT within 4 of FT seems to be the point where the 0 cents stops.

Yah that caught me off guard. I must say I was pretty happy when I saw him. But now I can't pick an avatar. I am being fussy it would be nice to find one I could use forever as then people identify you easy. It is going to be a few days or even longer for me to figure this one out. Who knows I might just use Blarg's for a few more years. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Default Strategy

They have also changed the system for what happens when you attack bases and fail... you can now lose more than you have... ie get a negative cash balance.

I strongly suggest against attacking any base that you can't spy and determine that you have an AT greater than the FT. 50/50 attacks are clearly now not worth the risk, if they were ever worth it before.
