Don't need to get snippy, I just honestly don't know how heavy pvp and alliances work. So it becomes an attrition thing?Cakedaddy wrote:So you think you could capture territory on your own? Or with just 3 people? You attack a city, his friends send troops all day long. They may not arrive all at once, but there's a flow of troops heading there. You have to, with yourself and maybe three friends, have to match their flow of troops.
I'm not sure why sending a siege order to the alliance and it taking place over the course of a day would be hard to setup. Some people get there late and don't fight. But other, closer people will participate. We could also issue orders to get troops ready. "We will be launching a siege at 8:00pm". We don't have to have everyone's troops arrive at once. A siege takes time. You can't just 'take' a city. Just like building, you siege for a set amount of time. During the siege, you have to hold off enemy reinforcements, the cities guards, etc.

Stop reading my text as if it has attitude! Didn't mean to come off as snippy.
I actually watched a video of an attack. Ya, a video. It was basically a narration of events with screen shots of battle reports and some other stuff (Monty Python) added in. It seemed like it was over a course of a few days. This dude captured a city, and the alliance he took it from hit him in force. He spent the next (whatever time frame it was) holding off wave after wave of attacks.
Actually, it turns out it was over a 5 or so hour period of time. Here's the link:

The videos are pretty well done. I could see EA taking the second and copying/using it as marketing.
