Meh, so now this is public and i have to consider my opponents using this frequently? :(

Haha yes timi :P but more competition is a good thing

WOW. This is such an incredible discovery. Thank you so much for the share!

I agree with Fizzer: we should call this the "Jz Maneuver". xP

That's an incredible trick but do we have think alone by those attacks by %? What about making a spreadsheet on how much to attack by percentage at a specific amount of armies?

feel free to create one

Timi,I think that this is job for Master Jz as she invented this strategy :D

feel free to create one

dammmmm thats amazing!!!!

I'm going to definitely be trying that out in games :D

Good trick but all that Math is going to make it impractical.

so I have started to create a spreadsheet : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16FXDhTJ3eOAKr1yqYBEb4WnN4voeC-N7oalmJ5l1HDs/edit#gid=0

but whilst calculating the percentage needed to delay I noticed that it doesn't work for some attacks, either that I just can't find them (well I can find them but warlight does not allow a decimal percentage to be moved)

EDIT: me and pana also had a discussion after trying to attempt it (I didn't really, he did) https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=12547930

Awesome work. Now please share the other tricks you're hoarding ;)

Now that everyone knows about this I'll have to turn off attack by % :( It's too annoyingly tedious have to calculate this every time.

shushhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;)

It took me about 30 seconds to figure out how this was useful. Then I about had a heart attack.

Edit: After doing some thinking, this thing has so many more applications than just 1 armies 0.o

EDIT:-some of my values were wrong because it seems 0.5 is rounded off to 0 when transfering armies through percentage unlike how it is while killing armies where it is rounded off to 1

I have a spreadsheet on my computer which I use for calculations. I brought it in to google sheets and put the link in my original post. I also added the link to ryiro's document.

nice!
i don't think we need my doc anymore,u got it all covered

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. Best move since Timi's transfer blocade trick.

I dont get it.

so basically i'll put it in simpler words:

Jz is facing an opponent, she deploys on a territory so there are 10 armies. After delaying she decides to attack her opponent, however as you probably know attacks of 9 are insufficient since they kill they same number of armies as an attack of 8. However she fears that if her opponent attacks her with a small portion of armies she wants all the troops she can for her offensive. So what Jz just discovered is a way for you to either delay with one as usual, BUT if they still do attack you you will have maximal armies for your offensive :)

OK... can you explain that as if you were explaining it to a 3 year old....

This will add a whole new element in warlight play... and makes the game more complicated as a whole...
