There are a lot of factors that go into defending shards as you know. Skill is obviously a big part of it but let me list a few more
1. Time available
2. Sitter support for when offline (for close proximity attacks)
3. Tribal support in terms of base line defense for freeing up own troops
4. Short range troops both offensive and defensive
5. Proximity of enemy
6. Odds
7. Desire
To name a few
Can I ask Shards, did he do OK against TDP when he left DSL?, I think King defended then against the odds. Difference was it was long range attacks.
King was no point whore and he co plays on other worlds with some of the best in the game. It may be that he has not gone as well as expected however it does make a huge difference if the line has a reasonable amount of troops in the first place.
All I am saying is imagine for example that point 1 caused a problem for a period of time... then it is very hard to recover from that if you have little troops.
Yoni.. With all due respect to you.. An not to king..
I have seen alot Stronger campaigns.. To name a few...
Exor.. Was a huge frigging target.. He took more incomings then king and loss maybe 1 percent compared to kings 60 percent.
another Was Tezmo from Shadow.. He took a massive on slaught probably one of the largest on this world during the dsl/tla war.. Better turn out then King.
another would be Jfredrickson from shadow.. HE took a massive launch and held his own..
Another would be Daryl1000... I launched 160 nukes on 5 villages and only took 1.. and a week later he owned the village again...
so stating that he did well or anything of the sort.. Is a horrible statement..
Kingmyster talked crap about how bad Dsl/Shadow was.. For months.. on here.. and the first chance he got ... to prove his ability vs us.. well he was destroyed..
No excuse should be used of why.. This is a war game.. you are suppose to protect your border with your core.. on any tribe that is not your own... even if ally..
Lesson learnt there.. But still ... He is no Bandit.. I will personally stop if he admits that Bandit of the west is the far more superior player then King.
