  • I think we all internalise some facts about our opponents. I think I know where they are from.

    I just don't have the patience for spreadsheets. That's why I don't win these things. :D

  • My way of determining sleep time isn't too complicated so probably has errors in it.

    I note whenever a player has been inactive for 6-8 hours. I then assume they are sleeping and I also make the assumption they sleep for 8 hours. So I note whatever time that 8 hours would be (local to my time).

    So if it is 10a my time and I see a player has been inactive for 6 hours. I write a note for 12p for that player.

    My play style is to minimize risks for myself and my attacks. I rarely launch an attack if I don't have all the information I need, so if I need to make an attack where I am fuzzy on the defensive capabilities of the player, I minimize the risk by launching during the sleep window. My pausing does hurt me sometimes diplomatically with allies who sometimes don't trust that I am not moving my force and also hurts me as it sometimes gives time for my opponents to reposition themselves.

  • i think the longest idle time ive had has been 4 hours lol. that must really throw off data collectors but information is key the more you know the more you can achieve.

  • All you have to do is make your log in times as frequent and random as possible, then an opponent would have a nightmare remembering and would make them more cautious when attacking you. I often do 5 minute checks at random times to see if there are multiple opponents online. I could infer some chatter if a bunch kept staying online for awhile. I'm not saying be unpredictable with your moves or your allies will feel threatened, just be unpredictable at login times and make opponents have a hard time determining your sleep hour
