Does the real, non-botted GoW count?

It should, just as the real, non-sharing BW should count as well (even if most people didn’t know about them at that time).

You would have to go back over 1.5 years to find that BW. They have been account sharing much longer than they weren’t.

Do you guys actually think BW account shares? or are you just trolling because you are butthurt about BW being the best?

We often have less battles initiated, but more damage done per attack than enemy factions. How do you explain that?

Or do you think everyone we attack account shares as well? Everyone is cheating but you?

You often have 49 accounts active in nearly every close war. Can’t ’splain that without account sharing or botting. Take your pick.

Topic: Tyrant / Tyrant Card Creator by catepillar

Right, the font issues are definitely unique to Windows (I finally was able to get my hands on a Mac). It seems that several fixes I have attempted are not working, so I will be looking at creating a option that when enabled will render the fonts on my server, and your browser can download. I will have to be a bit more careful about this as image rendering requires more CPU than just serving files, so it will not be the fast updating thing that you currently see (and use). It will probably have a timeout on it so that it will request the text no more than once every 10s or so. (Course, I am only talking out loud, in a public room. There is no need to point and laugh at the weird computer nerd :P )

Topic: Tyrant / [QUESTION] About leveling.

For factions:

<level>
<id>20</id>
<rating>6200</rating>
<members>50</members>
</level>
<level>
<id>21</id>
<rating>7200</rating>
<members>50</members>
</level>
<level>
<id>22</id>
<rating>8500</rating>
<members>50</members>

Yes, that is 8500 to be a level 22 faction. Yes, it is very steep.

Topic: Tyrant / War - Data open data?

Originally posted by Moraku:

Actually, the problem is that currently, some factions have more “inside information” than others. I suppose that publicizing war data would make things more “fair”. I do recall, at one point, some limited war data was publicized via some API exploit. That information easily affected the decisions of various factions.

The OP’s proposed idea seems to show about as much information as the Conquest map currently already does. It may even end up reducing the number of “spies” around. (I’m still not entirely sure what spies are useful for aside from catfacing…)

Disclaimer: 2 random faction names used. I didn’t pick the evilest faction and the faction of Moraku. I promise.

Well, if I were to know that BW had hit dragons about 10m ago, and that dragons were currently putting up a fight, wouldn’t it make sense for me to attack BW while they still need to secure their win against dragons?

Topic: Tyrant / [GUIDE] History of spammable autofight decks for faction wars

Originally posted by XKyotosomoX:

Please update, there has been many popular decks since. TI Fear Deck should definitely go in. Wall Stall is also a very important deck. Some less important decks you could possibly include is a rainbow deck, ritheous odin deck, or fear deck that uses Grim Specter and Test of Mettle.

TI fear isn’t autofight.

There haven’t been any decent spammable decks recently.

Topic: Tyrant / [NEW] Guides and Useful Links

This should probably be added as well.

Except GS!

Topic: Tyrant / [DEV] Sunder Description and Preview

It’s about the Greek alphabet. Alpha is the first letter, so an “Alpha test” vs “Beta test” (beta is the second letter) would be the difference between a first test and a second test.

Full Greek alphabet for those interested:

alpha	Α α
beta	Β β
gamma	Γ γ
delta	Δ δ
epsilon	Ε ε
zeta	Ζ ζ
eta	Η η
theta	Θ θ
iota	Ι ι
kappa	Κ κ
lambda	Λ λ
mu	Μ μ
nu	Ν ν
xi	Ξ ξ
omicron	Ο ο
pi	Π π
rho	Ρ ρ
sigma	Σ σ
tau	Τ τ
upsilon	Υ υ
phi	Φ φ
chi	Χ χ
psi	Ψ ψ
omega	Ω ω

it’s crappy now with on kill

it’s always been ‘on kill’; the person posting didn’t go through the dev file manually with human eyes.

catepillar did and pointed this out in the SPOILERS thread.

lol, you funny.

My tools just told me there was an unrecognized attribute called “killed”. I am sure Moraku has something similar, but we have to be paying attention to notice stuff like that.

All of this Dev love is great, and the art and stats of the new cards look fantastic and I cannot wait to see how sunder will change the game.

Is it just me or does it seem like we’ve been getting too much too fast (ever since Xeno Domination)?

I have barely had time to get used to all the Worldship cards and new upgrades (not to mention the Occupation set). Just when I’m starting to find my groove, everything is going to change up again with Flashpoint.

The devs have decided a meta that changes every week is “fun” and doesn’t tire players out.

So long Soulsteel Mount.

Worldbreaker is actually “Strike All 2 on Kill” – typo on DEVs’ behalf.

Did I really? It would appear so.

One thing to note is that there is a “killed” which is different from “on Kill”. How this is different is yet to be determined, but it is highly likely that this is a dev typo.

Dammit. Okay, here’s your cookie.

Now leave me alone!

But internet cookies are bad.

People can stalk you with those.

I don’t want it.

Because thats so easy to do when it’s not in the vault.

And it’s often not enough. Need a spam of cyclops to do the necessary work in this ****ed up meta.

There’s nothing wrong with wallstall. It’s fear that’s irritating.

I think there is a problem with wallstalls when I can drop a cyclops first against a wall stall and still lose >75% of the time, and mostly because of one card.

Going to post the card images here. There’s no icon for Sunder yet, so using the Split ability Icon for it. There’s also no set icon for Flashpoint, so just using nothing for now.

Once they get added, I will be updating my card thingy.

Edit: they are online, I am in the process of getting them onto my server (expect it in about 30 min, kinda doing something else with my server atm).

Thanks alot cate. Not only for your effort right now but for the card creation tool. It’s truly amazing and of so much assistance.

Updated. I am automagically generating the card images now. One thing to note is that there is a “killed” which is different from “on Kill”. How this is different is yet to be determined, but it is highly likely that this is a dev typo.
