Attacking Basics

I’ve got a little routine that has been working for me.

1. Copy your own kingdom page, throne room, military advisor, internal advisor, and science page.
2. Copy the target’s kingdom page.
3. Take a CB.
4. Take a SoM if there are elites that may have been sent.
5. Take a Survey if you suspect Guard Stations.
6. Use Angel’s Military Calculator to determine the correct amount to send.
7. Cast Quickfeet (if possible), Warspoils (if landgrabbing), Minor Protection, and Town Watch (if possible).

For non-freaks attacking non-freaks, 4% oversend is what you want. When you have adjusted your amount to send correctly in the Calculator, the bar in the middle will turn green. For freaks attacking similar net worth non-freak targets or for non-freaks attacking similar net worth freaks oversend 7%. If bottom-feeding or top-feeding you may want to oversend as much as 10%. Freaks attacking freaks may want to oversend by up to 17% to be safe.
