Hey I had an idea I wanted to run by everyone.
One thing that's been vexing me is how other alliances run constant swarms of SS's without acquiring tons of wounds. Like if we go to war with someone how do we send swarm after swarm of our sorties on top of their attacks hitting us, the wounds can mount up. I know the speed up tactics for healing and other healing speed ups help but it still seems like you could lose SS's without much effort. And leaving SS's overnight can also be stressful if you know they're gonna get wiped while your away.
So I had an idea. Basically purchase twice the amount of SS's you have CP for. These become your sacrificial SS's. Completely sacrificial and low cost. You can switch them in after battles that you are gaining a lot of wounds in, or for overnight garrisons. Frankly I'm not sure how to handle the logistics of having twice as many SS's in my stock. Especially because the user interface for sorting your SS's sucks so bad. But I think it might be a way to keep your good SS's from getting killed but keep a garrison.
Plus if they are killed or your good guys are killed and they're in the 24 hour timer you have back up guys to move up. And if they are killed you just move on.
Maybe you even sell them back after each AvsA to rearm with SS's that are more specialized for whatever strategy we're going with. For instance next AvsA we go offensive with harass steal and spy. You have 100 CP. you buy 33ea steal harass and spy SS's as your backups. After the AvsA you sell them all to buy 99ea SS's for merchants for the next AvsA where we go barter.
Any thoughts on this?
