Just an informative post for those who wind up in a RW with the Swiss Covert Corps, and likely family. This is how our war is going. And the steps they take to try to win.

One. make sure you don't have any of your real members, actual good high rank member around as targets. This is their top end:

This is everyone else:

Two. Since you kicked your actual members, make sure yo pad your ranks with noobs new recruits:

Three. Be sure to hire someone that will keep knocking off any of your higher ranked members. See pictures one and three.

Four. Pay other facs to keep hitting your members, so that everyone has ED and is always in hosp. Making them impossible to attack. Occasionally a level 10 will get out, which is a net loss, usually, as respect for a level 10 vs the respect for a retal is a wash. Note all the "+" signs on everyone in hosp. They can just stay there as long as they want, and pop out for free en masse whenever they'd like.

Five, related to #4: just stay in hosp and drag it out as long as possible. If the opponent can't hit you, can't lose points. And the target to reach will just dwindle away until you win. Don't forget to keep your recruits in hosp also! Make sure to take them out so the opponent can't.

To be fair, at least some of their top members who have actually been around, like their leader, do get out of hosp now and again and actually put up a fight. Guess they have to, all the above tactics alone won't get them any score. Granted, they do have one player who can make the majority of their points solo.

Makes for a very boring, long winded war, TBH. Makes me wonder about the ranking system, yet again.
xedx [2100735]
True. I don't discount them as being valid tactics, I've also thought of them too. It just makes for a very boring war. Most of the wars we've fought have at least been fun, in that everyone at least gets a chance to fight. Win or lose. And as far as I can tell, no way to do anything if the opposing team won't get out of hosp. Even dropping a DB on them guarantees they win. If they have a lead.

So does anyone have a suggestion to counter such tactics?

Totally not true. No one can use wrong bloodbags 24/7. You just gotta beat the mercs to the hit and keep doing it repeatedly. As in actually swear for those points. Or get the lead from the get go and never lose it
xedx [2100735]
Aktivist, I'll cede your point. Except the blood bag part. Most aren't using blood bags, using outside hits.
Aktivist [2741356]
It's what i mean, that the only way you can't score is if they are Perma bloobagging, that's the only thing you can't do much about. If it's outside hits you just gotta be faster, bounty the fast outside hitters who usually beat you to itw hire mercs on their mercs... Strats are limitless, the only limit is how deep are your pockets and how far are you willing to go to win

Sounds like this belongs in uh the faction discussion forums.
Also no one gives a shit. Get guud or lose your rights to farm caches.
xedx [2100735]
Me? no. Frustrated? a bit. Was more wondering how in the world to prevent them from constantly being put in hosp - I sit on a page (an opponents profile) , knowing they get out in 4 secs. Before I can hit, back in hosp by an outsider. So obviously they are able to attack faster than I can. And I can't take out their attackers, that'd be pointless. I suppose it boils down to having the cash to pay for all these outside hits, as a few have mentioned. So just frustrated at twiddling my thumbs.

Edit: now that I think about it, maybe impatient is a good word, too....

LONDON RANKED WAR TACTICS

1. fail to figure out the very simple strategy to beat merc factions
2. fail to have activity to challenge outside hitters for points
3. complain about it on the forums
4. hope ched changes *something* that will make up for your incompetence

gg brilliant strategy

Lockout with arena style wars, would solve the issue. Highly doubt that'll happen though. If you can't beat them join them I suppose.
xedx [2100735]
LOL no that wasn't my intent. Although I would like to know a good way to challenge outside hitters, best tactic I have is to sit on the pages of those soon to be out of hosp, using YATA for help, and try to attack fastest. I am well aware of these as tactics, I've mentioned that I had thought of using them myself a long time ago. It just makes for a very boring day.

Edit: bright side, this can only go on another 5 hours with natural target decay and no attacks
Edited my edit - I thought this could only last another 5 hours with no attacks., I think I was off by a factor of 10.
