[close] 78,035 allied Thief stole 51 land. [12] tree. [17] bush. [14] flower. [8] grass. [0] uncultivated.


---------------------------------------------------
had 1020 acres.

18% max steal. (40% repeat attackign etc) i get max cap - 5%?

13% steal?

but i dont......i only get a 5% steal........
----------------------------------------------------
thief. 0.001 land

78,035 * 0.001 = 78.035 max steal
-----------------------------------------------------

I thought i should be getting capped on the amount i can potentially steal in terms of 18% of the total available....1020acres.....=183acres - cap
------------------------------------------------------

but it looks like 78acres - cap is whats happening.

Q. surely the cap should be on the maximum you can steal. not the amount you would have stolen if uncapped

has something changed? am i missing something? was it always like this? is this specific for thief? am i retarded?
---------------------------------------------------
i thought the cap was on the land limit. not on the thieves that made it through.

I thought the cap was based on the amount of land you could steal with the thieves (whatever they happen to be) that fire. But tbh I've never looked into it fully as I rarely get capped (I tend to be inactive at round start, and then just attack at 70%+ for the rest of the round)

 

[Iamsmart]

your thiefs stealing efficiency is also capped.

Unapproved - Along with 2x other posts in response to this. / DA

[close] 123,180 allied Thief stole 94 land. [17] tree. [77] bush. [0] flower. [0] grass. [0] uncultivated.

on some one with 1500k

i guess if i send wheelie /geo + thief i get more. but to send thief alone i have to oversend the thiefs after the final sweepers. and it always triggers. have to send over kill on flak. or so many thiefs. its like sending 100-200k geos.

= trigger

guess thats the price for sending eta 3. you have to be more accurate with your guess work until you can spie

meh mid round ill be fine im sure. just the fact i was expecting 190acres and then i have to realise the cap is on my thiefs as well. so only 75% that make it through will steal

253k need to arrive on the other side after what you lose to sweepers. nvm its early days ill get the hang of them.

 

[Iamsmart]

does this look like the gripes section?

 

[Alcibiades]

It does rather look like it Iamsmart.

 

[willymchilybily]

it also looks a little like a spam section....maybe a forum mod will sort the problem though if it bothers you Mr. smart

on topic - you could stop sending pure flak mobs to tiny targets and thereby not get a land cap...

would you rather we send lethals in our mobs and zero all those targets instead? Makes more sense to flak them and leave them in range, than to zero them and watch them not only lose land to you and troops, but get land-farmed by all the vultures..

I'm simply dealing with the issue that he's getting land capped.

Lol. So noble and considerate of you to only flak them. :roll:

 

[tobapopalos]

TBH you could just send eta 5 with geos and thiefs. They're solo...

 

[No-Dachi]

Maybe you're getting extra capped for not sending ETA 5...

 

[Ogluk]

the land cap works off what you could steal with the stealers there/that fire, rather than the max grab

Hell found this out in round 27 when they were sending the right amount of geos to steal up to 15k but were getting their small grabs reduced due to the land cap reducing your steal rather than the potential steal

 

[Dax]

Oggie speaks truth - And that's why Thieves are terrible in early-round to use purely (their high-cost and low efficiency). You still need to utilise Geos/Wheelies, and use Thieves as extra land sweepers

 

[LAFiN]

I've not had trouble getting my full 18%. Just attack 70%+ even at eta 3 and you're fine.
