Cropping questions

the amount of troops survive is based on however many it takes to get your crop production to 0.

as for the prestige>crop output, your troop crop consumption is taken away from what your mines produce.
t level 20 mines, thats like 20-25k crop consumption, right nate?

and crop mines at between lvls 15-19 give quite a few k prestige also.

so, he likely still had negative output, but most of his troops were on his mine production.

i hope that helps....

a lvl 12? with lvl 18/19 crops is unlikely

The same thing happened yesterday when I cropped two people. I was expecting to wait at least an hour after taking a couple oases but it suddenly dropped to 0 which made no sense. Something isn't right here.


And FYI... crops don't grow in mines.

What I think happens , for some reason is after you starve them out their troops keep on dying over time, idk y but it's happened to me, Nd u control their output, if u want more prestige but longer wait time take less oasis ( this works if they're already negative ) but If u just want a fast 20-40k pres starve take all.

Guys, it works like this.....

When you have negative crop output AND 0 crops, ALL troops from that city return home and 30% of them starve immediately, and then 30% more starve ever hour after until there is either no deficit, or you put crops in the warehouse.

When you crop someone, their cranny is gonna come into play....if a player has a max level cranny, you're only gonna be able to reduce their crop storage to around 50k crops. Any further attacks at this point will not steal but a few hundred crops, so you must wait for their natural crop deficit to deplete their cranny, before they begin to starve.

This could be anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on their troops size.

thanks for this


however your second point i believe has onot understood the question. sometimes i have reduced to cranny level first then stolen the oases and sometimes it reduces at a normal rate and then sometimes it jumps like -10k crop and continues going down, its very strange

Sometimes when i attack a persons crop oasises, their crop shoots straight to 0, but sometimes their crop just starts falling at a faster rate and then i have to wait for the crop to reach 0.

What do i have to do to get crop to shoot straight to 0?

Also, what percentage of troops return home? On my second account my troops starved and the amount of troops i kept was equal to my crop output, but i've been able to crop someone for 30k prestige which is alot more than their crop output.

Thanks

straight to 0--> enemy got no cranny
have to wait--> enemy got a cranny
people who return, ALL troops, but some starve (the minus crop output)

Not sure I follow.....people will not always Have a max cranny. Additionally, if you take the oases after breaking the cranny (I don't suggest doing it this way, btw....you should deal with oases before breaking the cranny, for obvious reasons) the deficit is gonna be dropping in weird ways as an oasis can be good for almost +9k crops an hour. This means each oasis that gets taken is gonna cause the crop level to change the rate at which it drops.

ok so heres what happened he was negative 2k an hour so i hit with max cranny scouted him he was on 49995 crops,then 2 mins later i hit 2 oases at practically the same time and suddenly he has no crop left. its wierd

It is weird, the person who i attacked was lvl 11, i doubt he had no cranny. Anyway, i scouted him and he had around 150k crop, after taking 3 oasises he was on around 60k crop, then when i took the remaining oasises his crop hit 0, and his troops appeared at his city.

I didn't even attack his city to bring crop down so cranny level wouldn't matter here anyway.

Umm I think u guys are overlooking the largest variable u can't see which is how many troops are hunting from that city. Nor in the examples shown do u have any idea of how many troops starved only the amount that didn't starve so all these situations r different as they contain different numbers of troops. But hey maybe I'm crazy.

Ps I'm not crazy

Plus maybe in these situations theyre crop enhancements gave out at the same time you hit their oasis. It's rare but it could happen.
