Att vs Def

[Johnno]

Going to keep this as short as poss.

Respect to all the forum members been a fan for a while.

I am at 55k def (around 50k real def). I collect on time mostly but when I don't I get robbed by ppl with between 29k - 32k att. my wall goes green, red, green, red etc. A couple have been kind enough to let me know they won 1/5 or 1/7.

I stipulate that if a person is willing to spend enough stamina on robbing a building of yours, the defense for that building will slowly break down no matter your defense and eventually you just lose.

I've put a lot of points into fending off enemy attacks as well, but isn't it as it reads 'better chance against attacks'?

Appreciate any thoughts.

I don't worry about defense.

I bank my 40% and go attack/rob someone else who is weaker and richer than I am.

As I understand it your defense score is cut in half for robberies so if your att is 50k then theoretically someone with a 25k att has a shot at winning.

That would explain why I get robbed by people with such low attack numbers.

I'm at a loss on this too Johnno. I had thought for a long time that if my defense was double what the person trying to rob me, they would not have a chance. Last week I had one of the red/green/red/green walls by someone 15.9K attack, at the time I had around 31K defense. Well they were still over half, so I wrote it off. Then over the weekend someone with 14.9K attack was able to rob a building (albeit only one hit) when I had 32.1K defense. I have yet to lose in a fight though to someone that is that much lower than me.

I don't care about the cash because it was a small amount. It ticks me off that I've spent gold on def buildings along with a ton of game cash and my defense can still be hit by weak players. I don't want to hear the skill point argument either, my def skill points are in the triple digits.

It's probably because some with a low "advertised" attack score may have a huge attack skills multiplier. They dumped a lot into attack when leveling up versus into energy, for instance.

I think it is that the game design favors attack over defense.

I think part of the equation is still a roll of the dice. It isn't a straight math formula. That's why I get most of my cash from robberies, only attacking when I have a quest to complete or someone just has a ton of money unsecured.

Perhaps their Att Skill Points are higher than your Def Skill Points.

Perhaps their Att Skill Points are higher than your Def Skill Points.

Enough to offset a 100% stat advantage?

That was my thought, but I let it go. At level 151 with over 20K fights won and 17K+ robberies I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Dont be a smart ass. If you are so frickin superior then don't come to a community forum and whine.

Its about an exchange of ideas and not attitude.

I think real def number doesn't mean much by itself. We need to further divide it into real building def and item def numbers respectively.
