When 2 Units Walk Into Each Other

GreatbigHippo · Sep 21st 2015, 4:11am

If 2 enemy units are moving the same speed along the same road, but going opposite directions and start to fight each other, which one is the attacker and which is the defender?

Both are - there will be 2 'battle instances' instead of 1 per hour

V1nd1cat0r · Sep 21st 2015, 9:54am

neither? sounds like a riddle to me...

V1nd1cat0r · Sep 21st 2015, 9:55am

i think only 1 battle takes place.

GreatbigHippo · Sep 21st 2015, 11:29pm

right... but are the armies attacking or defending?

I assume it represents dug in positions. So if two army groups walk into each other, neither one has had time to big slit trenches, roll out barbed, find and defend choke points etc.

So they're both attacking?

Butter Ball Bill · Sep 21st 2015, 11:41pm

Yes.

Not being a dev, how do you know? Or are you just assuming?

Maybe experience? His answer makes sense, anyways.

He has played 2-3 times

GreatbigHippo · Sep 22nd 2015, 1:03am

I'm pretty sure he's played more than that

Indeed he has. He ranks #105, that is not done by someone who played 2-3 times.

yup. 29 games joined, over 3,000 territories conquered.

Oddly I just started playing yet my numbers are almost exactly the same. I must be a know it all now too then. Cool. Thanks!

I did notice my rank is much higher though. I am at 69.

The difference is, BBB has been here since this game came out.

Which means? I see he has been here 2 months more then I have. lol. Stick to the topic please.

They were on topic, you questioned BBB credibility on a subject and we defended it, thereby answering the OP

It went off topic the moment you said this. Picking a fight when there needs to be none is unnecessary. I suggest you refrain from doing such things next time.

GreatbigHippo · Sep 22nd 2015, 3:30am

There's no need to defuse things. I kind of wanted to see where this would go...

Using the same logic, Hoffman was on topic, because he was exploring the possibility that BBB was wrong.
