Adjustable auto attack

Postby 2dimes on Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:09 am

Maybe you have 50, 100, 37, 396, 427 or thousands of armies. You want to attack multiple times but you don't want to take a chance to lose all but 3 armies. Currently you have to hope you don't wipe out all but 3 armies while not even gaining a territory.

Maybe you would like to stop and keep 10 or 4 or 327. It would be nice if you could choose.

Adjustable auto attack.
  • eggs
  • milk
  • bread

Add adjustable perimeters to auto attack
  • choose how many times to roll
  • choose when to stop rolling so you can keep more than 3 armies

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • continue to speed things up by letting you attack more than once with a single click, but not run down from lots of armies to just 3 every time.

yes I agree, having them option to choose how many rolls or how many troops you wish to invest would be great.

Yes. I agree that would also help. Maybe say how many you are fine with losing and how many you want to kill or kill down to.

Just want to help. DK ;)

Good idea.

Wondering about a BURST-FIRE assault that fires so long as you hold the icon down, then needs a manual reactuation to fire more rounds. E.g. -starts at 5 attacks a second, so if you hold it for 5 seconds, 25 attacks, hold for 10 seconds, 50 attacks, all usually 3 v 2.

So taking on a reasonably big stack of defenders, say 20-200. you would probably want at least two bursts. first, at 5 assaults a second for maybe 2,3, 4 seconds, , then pause and see the damage, see how you are doing, if things look good , you may finish it off one attack at a time, or fire another burst or two until its all over..



If you are looking to use burst fire on big defender stacks, say in the hundred or maybe even a thousand defenders, (how often is that?).you ramp up burst fire to 50 or more assaults a second. Or keep the fully automatic alive.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Automatic firearm
show
A burst-fire firearm is an "in-between" of fully and semi-automatic firearms, firing a brief continuous "burst" of multiple rounds with each trigger-pull, but then will require a manual re-actuation of the trigger to fire another burst.

Except your internet connection/hardware combination might mess with how long the server thinks you held the icon down.

I suspect being able to choose a number would be more accurate. You could choose a number like 7 or 50 for an initial burst. Then a larger or smaller number for a second burst. Etc...

That would be supercool!!

Just as you can pick the number of troops you deploy on a tert, from those available to you, you could choose how many troops you use in attacks on a tert, say in multiples of 3 ? Say 33 options taking you from 3 to 99 troops in one burst.

one benefit would be cutting down the complaints about how the die didn't work for someone in an asaault.

Say you have 100 troops to take on 10 defenders. Auto assault could mean you lose 99 troops and the defender only one. unlikely, but things like that happen

. But say you could choose to start off with using 12 troops against the 10 defender. four 3 v 2 troops in one single burst The worst that could happen is you lose all four 3 v 2 attacks ,putting you down to 88 troops and the defender still at 10

. Could give you the tert ,wiping out all the defenders, At least ,should cut the defense down considerably say, losing 6 troops to your 6 troops lost, leaving 94 v 4,

if, in the unlikely but it happens , you lose all 12 troops and don't take a defender, leaving 88 v 10, you can try again. and again, in short bursts. And say at some point it looks like a bad run , you lost 90 troops and the defender only lost two, so you are down to 10 v 8, you can stop.

You would not need to disable it, just like you don't need to disable auto attack. You would choose to use it or not each time you attack.

If possible it would be a drop menu.

If you don't use it, auto attack would just continue to do what it does now. Kills the enemy and/or depletes a stack down to three.

Regular attack of course would remain unchanged.

I just don't enjoy having fifteen or more armies. Hitting auto attack against a notably smaller number of armies. Sometimes a single. Not killing any and then sitting with only 3 left on that spot. Using regular attack every time can be a daunting task if you are fighting larger forces.
