I find it funny that you used a common commander for this xD

I browsed through my cards and, surprisingly, he is much better than Daedalus (~3%).
I tried weaken b4 (and moya) but seems to be worse. if u find a better commander, tell me :D

/edit: i’ll give it up. at Xaedan I have 45% at max.

44% 100k, ordered (Beholder upgraded)

and
46% 100k, ordered (Beholder upgraded)

Thus, a combined average of 45% :D

I tried many variations: 7hp GrimSpectre (draco+aa), foc, tyrelius, malakim, cadmian.. but nothing worked rly. ~30% might be also possible with a Speedy-deck (Scale Hull, Fortifier).

i am sure Drakblood, HH or other crazy guys will find better solutions!

Topic: Tyrant / The Ultimate Wall Stall - May 2013

i dont like IM.
2xZarak+SSM killes everything anyway. so i think its more important to buy time until that cards are active.

for tourneys i would recomment DfA or FleshReaper as replacement too, mayb both against siege-heavy decks.
FleshReaper+SK is also very good against Grim Specter.

also i think you underestimate the fear decks with just 1 wall and SSM.

Topic: Tyrant / Conquest Stagnation

Conquest was announced as “Faction battles at a whole new level”. well, for me it never felt like that; – conquest was broken from the very first day and probably will always be.

but i like it much more now than before. simply for the reason that conquest doesnt give unfair advantages to a minority of factions anymore (free WB pack every 5 days, Engulfing Horror, ..)

I’ve never understood the people, who said CR or tiles were more meaningful than FP. and now it’s kinda obv that conquest is just a playground for small factions which like to waste some stamina on it.

I do not know if you should change that. while an xtra stamina-bar for conquest wouldnt hurt much,- I see this as no appreciable improvement bc the main problems are still not fixed (no real reason for attacking, alliances, ganking, fp loss,..) and the drama will return as soon as u give the top factions a reason to return.

btw, i think conquest is less stagnant than b4.

Topic: Tyrant / Lucky boxes? (random cards)

Either explain why it shouldn’t be here even though there WOULD be people who would use it or just proceed to escort yourself from this thread >_<

oh, that should b easy 2 xplain.
few months ago tyrant gold was much more worthless and many ppl have complained.
then at some point the devs announced that they want to change the ingame economy. there have been many ideas but sadly the devs just reduced the gold income and made card upgrades xpensive.

i like the idea that gold should b worth something. players should have to decide what to buy first, and what can wait.

if people would use the “lucky box” often, it just would mean that gold is worthless again.
so my point of view is that no one should ever want to use the “box” bc the chance to get a useful card is way 2 low.
and btw, i agree with many ppl that there is still enough randomness (cards from turney buy-ins; packs with 97% crap cards;.. ) u could spend ur money at with nearly the same effect.

Topic: Tyrant / Lucky boxes? (random cards)

Originally posted by aquaquake:

Guys I can’t help myself, but you’re too narrow-minded. For your good I hope it’s just this game >_<

or.. this idea is just crap?

srs, i have enough “lucky box feelings” while trying to complete card sets like nexus and homeworld,.. and by trying to get key cards from new packs with limited shards like cyclops.

i would like it much more if there would be a low chance of getting a random card after winning any battle. like rng/stamina used*10%
getting a useful card by this would be rly lucky and more active players would have a slightly higher chance of getting a free card. and still, i guess a free card from time to time would motivate ppl and make ’em a bit more happy. also this doesnt hurt tyrant economy (devs/players income) very much.

Topic: Tyrant / [To Dev] Best Tile shielding faction in tyrant (a must see)

that were not “some pictures”. that was a wall of text from a very biased and subjective perspective.
all this has been discussed umpteen times, and in any case only concerns the boring edge of the map.

no idea why you say that my alts faction is a minion faction of SO just bc it participates in conquest :[

the only fun-fact of this topic is that Germans ran away and decided to attack a faction ranked #219 at the edge of the map instead of fighting WB.

Topic: Tyrant / [Powercreeped] Bye Soulsteel Mount, Hi World-(Game)-breaker

Worldbreaker is almost crap with “strike on kill” as it is a legendary and for sure it will not replace my SSM or HoC.
SSM works much better with zarak, and it can take out many annoying cards like TI, multiple Cerberus, Split Jaw,..

anyway. i dont think that wall-decks need a buff cauze of Cyclops so i am fine with worldbreaker. and i think it might be possible that worldbreaker gets some spots in non-wall decks.

TT

can anyone prove that the sun rises tomorrow? No?
the begging for evidences of obv stuff gets kinda annoying.

theory of probability says: if there were acc-sharers in the last 5 catfaced alliance factions, the 6th has to be hacked by ChuckNorris. no doubt.

Topic: Tyrant / [NEWS FLASH] Berzerkers disbanded/catfaced

for me the problem is simply the constant déjà-vu.

many times the catfaced faction said they got bruteforced by a super-hacker who wanted to use his resources and skills for a weired reason in tyrant against a top50 faction.
and later (each time?) the signs for some kind of acc-sharing were more convincing.

Topic: Tyrant / [DEV] Small conquest suggestion for next week.

i think the suggestion is not that great.
there are no top factions at the map (trolling?), – so it doesnt have to be too difficult to get tokens.

i would like a “damage-done-in-conquests”-bar which resets or decreases by time and has to be filled up to 40% or 90% to claim (50%/100%) tokens.
the damage done should be multiplied by 1*(amount of cards in opponets deck/10) b4 added to teh bar.

so ppl have to fight full decks regularly for their tokens. of course it doesnt prevent all arrangements but i dont have any better idea atm :[

Topic: Tyrant / How to lose tiles like an adult: A MoM Story

smart top factions which care of FP dont need and dont want any tiles for sure.
if u get chain-attacked just b4 map reset u are screwed anyway.

so i guess everyone is fine. no drama here t.t

Name one low ranked bot faction. This goes against the point of bot factions so your argument is invalid. GSG10 didnt deserve their tiles and someone who was good enough took it from them. Where is the issue in this? who are these bot factions that everyone is complaining about and where are their tiles and faction wars records? You are just screaming bots and cheaters with no evidence to back any of it up. I dont know what faction you were in but maybe you should have stepped up and taken GSG10’s tiles if it bothered you so much instead of waiting to complain that they didnt deserve them.

your account and your posts clearly show that you are new to tyrant. and i am sorry but i am not teh one who’ll teach u :|
i dont have to name bots/bot factions to prove that there are bots. players got banned for boting, there are youtube videos about tyrant bots and most ppl here remember bot factions or how DULO became top faction.

and up to the day when a bot is known, it is small and farming small factions. that’s obv, isn’t it?

bots/multic-accs is also topic of the current consortium thread.

btw, i have been in GSG10 (just b4 they lost their tiles- so i couldnt take the tiles on my own t.t) and even then it seemed unfair to me and i “complained” … i can complain without being selfish, can u?

anyway, what bothered me was not the GSG10 (i like the guys:P). it was rather the fact/possibility that there are alliance factions/members who feed their alt accounts in alt factions undeserved, while many honorable small factions had left the game cauze they couldn’t enter the map for more than 6 months.

about evidence:
i dont c any use in name calling bots/acc-sharers (nor with convincing prove) at this forum. It’s bad behavior and
it would only catch the most stupid cheaters anyway.

rather, I appeal to the devs and the factions leaders+officers to do the most possible against cheating.
the fact u have to deal with is that there were and there are bots and acc-sharers in tyrant – regardless of ur request for proof.

Rank cant show your faction strength at all after conquest released.What was the lvl when WB jumped in conquest?lvl 8.
Most factions below rank 50 are not able to claim a 30 slots tile from others.GSG10 caught the chance and took those tiles when they were neutral，and GSG10`s stronger neighbors had no interest on GSG10`s tiles.that is the main reason and logical,not due to the big alliance`s protecting.Do you understand?
You cant have a tile just because you are too weak. […]

not sure what faction u are in but u seem to luv GSG very much?!

while WB was an absolute exception it doesnt change the fact that GSG deserved not a single token (based on their performance) at these days.
I agree that most factions below #50 can’t claim a tile with 30 def slots – and GSG cant do that neither. THATs the reason why GSG wasn’t able to reenter the map even their come-back got announced loud-mouthed at these forums (search for h-milch’s posts); and that’s why GSG shouldn’t have been on the map as a #100 faction.

the fact that the GSG was on the map for so long, has very much to do with the protection of the alliance. u might know that i have been in Germans these days. It was Sarp and me who formed agreements/NAPs with Serenity, EMP, Modern Slaves, Destiny,.. and that’s the reason why the weakest faction on board got not attacked for months although its neighbors might needed more tiles.

even if your facts are not so wrong (4 tokens), your conclusions seem very questionable..
—
I do not know why you think that botting hardly bothers anyone?
the days are gone when top factions were full with bots but still there are bots and still ppl complain about it almost daily (in Germans too).
and for sure a top faction can handle a bot faction but the FPs u get for the stamina u invested make it a bad deal each time while at the same time u might have an off war.
anyway what about low ranked factions which have to deal with a bot faction?

i think it’s very important that devs care about rule violations, and imo it is more important than conquest.

Topic: Tyrant / Gutless + wars

i get teh feeling u dont know what’s going on in tyrant, which gets also reflected by teh 4 options u gave to players who complain:

a) can you imagine how much better someone must be to keep up with all teh shit out there on a legit/fair/normal way? an alliance-related example: time ago Germans did bugged tile-swaps 6 times a day, while they where able to do serious wars at their prime time and got friendly night cover wars during their sleep time. sharing information of off- and def- wars with 20 allies made it pretty easy to defeat enemies and get easy FP.
their wing faction GSG10 became very famous ’cause it was the lowest ranked faction on previous map. while 109 (!) higher ranked (stronger?) factions were not able to hold a single tile on the map, GSG10 as part of alliance claimed 5 tokens daily. at these days there have been 17 empty tiles scattered on the map unreachable for any non alliance faction.
stuff like this seems kinda unfair to me and i dont know how a single/neutral faction could keep up.

b) i agree that too often people jump on a flame train without having any evidence. but from time to time there are proofs and each time i had to learn that rules are pointless in tyrant cauze devs dont take any action. so changing rules is also pointless.

c) this shouldn’t b the goal? :[

d) doing nothing is not an option.
even if you do not like it that people complain in the forum, you might note that it is almost the only opportunity to generate changes (improvements). many complaints can also be seen as constructive criticism, while others can be clarified.

in other words: if I can not keep up with germans (example above), even my faction is “stronger”, then you would recommend me to:
a) make an anti-alliance with the remaining 3 top30 factions?
b) not complain at forums?
c) quit the game?
d) not COMPLAIN!!?
e) waiting for the change of pointless rules which will not happen cauze no1 complained?
f) find a real proof that GoW is boting and Bad Beat was multi accing – . -;?
g) do nothing?

c’mon ….

Topic: Tyrant / Gutless + wars

i can not understand your post.

Personally I am against big alliances (doesnt matter what factions in it). I always liked a sporting and fair competition in games. and I just do not see how an alliance that has come together to farms tokens and FP ridiculously simple, brings advantages for the game.

this alliance has no proper agenda. it was all about tokens and fp. for the big goal they allied with boters, multis and acc-sharers. and they didnt care if the devs call them “lame”.

the alliance has failed to set rules for the members. and thats why each time a member faction tile-swapped, war-swapped, ganked, exploited or waht ever the whole alliance got blamed while most members have turned a blind eye and dreamed about more tokens.

with the numbers (900??) I am also not agree. Although it may have been ~ 20 factions in the alliance, but it was from the beginning a two-class society. on the one hand the g5 (u might call ‘em founder) which got represented by speakers at their forum and on the other hand lots of small factions which had no voice but just followed what the alliance said to stay on the map an’ get some tokens.
From there the alliance was like “quantity rather than quality” and sadly it works in tyrant. this bunch of “noobs” could win conquests and wars they never would have been able to in 1on1.

but for sure not each of the 900+ liked the alliance. members like DarkBlood, HunterHogan and me left the alliance. even officers from g5 forum and whole factions like BucketKickers have distanced themselves from it.

for sure 80% of people in the alliance do not even know what the alliance is (and i am afraid they dont rly care as long they get easy tokens). it is simply the fact that the decisions are made by a minority in the g5 forum.

you can see the same here. if 900 people would defend their alliance, we would have no more discusions. but somehow there are always just the same 10 alliance players defending it.

and I’m not complaining because someone plays the game on his way. i complain if the ToS are violated or things are a way to unfair and might make player quit the game.
