Wth.. I have 6.2m incomming, all gards and wheelies.
I have 2.5m guru 500k hippy and 1m yobs...

6.1m are distracted by hippy and guru, and yet my 1m yobs can't distract the rest?

wheelies are tough yo

:p

wheelies are a LOT harder to stop than gardies, so yobs not getting 10:1 on them sounds about right tbh

in your first post you said 1mil yobs for 100k wheels
that is correct (1:10)

this report shows 1mil yobs for 171k wheels

so you should have had 1,71m yobs to cover that.

yeah, I was on my phone earlier so I was saying from what I remember.

In that case can some one explain what ratio guru have on whelies
Cause if guru have 1:5 on gards... That means I needed 1.2 guru to distract gards, what were the rest of my guru doing?

because I figured they woulda picked up most and my yobs would only need to sweep the rest

Yobs do 10:1 on geos, not wheelies. It looks like they had about 180k wheelies, so that actually looks quite harsh (less than 5:1). You sure there was nothing else there?

check your units stats page

Dunno what you are trying to say .. All the incomming units are accounted for in the br so the chances of stealth units is minimal. Also I know they don't have stealth harvs as one doesn't even have ninja yet, and the other is a thug only onto ht...

Unless you meant to say stealth gards...

no stealth gards there, do the math. it adds up perfectly.. Looks like close to 200k Wheelies though.. tough luck mate.. You just needed more Yobs to block the rest of the Wheelies. If ye have teched Louds, investing in a few of them is good too, they can help sweep those incoming that are heavy with geos/wheelies..

that due to the targetting system sir.
Guru target inn/nlt/nld which means * If a unit targets 3 class, then 50% is directed at their primary target, 35% at the secondary target, and 15% at the tertiary target class.

so of your 2,5m gurus only 1,25m accually fired on inn to begin with.
Than we start with the REAL targetting stuf, by this I mean what each guru targets specifically. In you case you had 6m gards and about 240k wheels attack you, if you calc this down to percentages gards made up 96% of the inc and the wheels the remaining 4%. This means that of your 1,25m gurus that target inn 96% targets the gards (obviously kicked ass on everything) and 4% aka 50k to fire directly at the wheelies.

Hope this makes things a bit more clear about the targetting system.

So, either your ratio is wrong, or the game is wrong. ^_^

I didn't say 'wrong' - I said 'harsh' (or unlucky). I know this game will screw me over when it's a close decision :p I also understand the need for a bit of randomness.

I don't buy it. Yobs were getting 3/4:1 on wheelies at the beginning of this round.
