Or are you actually going to come get your own hands dirty for a change? Why not? Your puppets have done a bit of softening up, so it shouldn't be too hard, even for you.
Shoot honey, my boys have been involved in combat since turn 2; I don't try to hoard them like a squirrel with "her" nuts. Plus I've actually managed to figure how to put my turnfiles in every week, so I've had plenty of action. You'll see tomorrow; the end is near, dearie.

Objection, your honour! Relevance.

Who knows what your orders would have been? They've been completely ineffectual at accomplishing anything since turn 4. And the 1 person who couldn't figure out how to send in their orders on time (AGAIN) is on thin ice calling one of the 19 who could "stupid".

EDIT: You should check the map; the Mamulukes STILL ARE in Jerusalem.

It's called a joke, Genius; check my home page and see what clans I'm in and who the leaders are. Some people here have a sense of humor and aren't shrieking, hysterical witches like you.
Oh please stop it. You whine, insult, and carry on like you are the king of the planet, and then when called on it, "it's called a joke".

"shrieking, hysterical witches like you" - this is a joke?

Just like the way you implied Bavaria was cheating, and then tried to claim "I never said he was cheating". If the near-constant insults you've levied upon me are jokes, you severely need a humor transplant, because I don't find being repeatedly called Dimwit funny at all.

Please stop talking to me. I'm done wasting my breath trying to talk to you about common decency and to your allies about what a pig you are.

This is news? Perhaps if you were playing in this game instead of armchair-quarterbacking it, you'd "get it".

The Mamlukes only attacked me at the direct behest of Venice. That makes them puppets of Venice in my book. Do you need a dictionary?

In case you haven't noticed, this is a GAME people are playing. You and a few others really need some psychiatric help if you're taking it this seriously. I take a dig at one of my clan leaders on this site, who I've dealt with for over a year and a half, and you start screaming about my "insults". I make some goading comments and you go nuts. If you can't take it, why don't you stop trying to dish it out?

Really?? They sent their fleet over and built a big army in the Holy Land before I even knew that a new player had taken over the Mamulukes. Maybe you aimlessly push your forces around, but I think he was moving with a purpose. Where else are they supposed to expand to?

Funny odd as well as a bit funny ha-ha. Because he's been using that style of communication on this site for, like, forever, y'know?

He's hardly going to stop because it upsets you. There's a queue of people before you who haven't succeeded in doing that.
Right. Once he FINALLY got some allies, what is the first thing he did? He sends the Mamlukes after me, trying to shove MY face in it. Did he tell you that the reason he didn't attack me himself last turn was because we were allied? I didn't think so. I knew I was getting attacked when he broke the alliance last turn. Some surprise.

You would be well-advised to stop shilling for him. It only makes you look bad. You act like you're actually going to get a payment of some kind for backing him up. You act like you're actually PLAYING this game.

Oh. Right. Knowing him, you probably ARE getting a little something... sorry, I don't have to buy *my* friends.

Go nuts? I seem to recall that you went pretty ballistic yourself towards me just a few pages back, remember? Or have you conveniently forgotten that particular burst of venom?

Question: two nations at war invade the same independent nation. What determines which enemy recieves what percent of the damage? Does each side take half?
It's randomly allocated with the percentage possibility based on how many troops each invading nation has. For example, if Nation A and Nation B both attack Independent province X, and A has 6 troops attacking and B 4, there's a 60% chance that each hit will be allocated to Nation A's troops. Combat strength or hit points doesn't matter; only the number of troop units.

Damn, I bet you make a living picking nits like this. Oh, I forgot... you DO.

The Mamlukes actually attacked me at your behest. This much is a fact. Please stop the lying.

You keep forgetting that the Mamulukes had moved to attack you BEFORE I even knew that a different player was in the game. Their attack on you isn't "personal", like you think everything is in this GAME; there's nowhere else for them logically to expand and you had left yourself vulnerable. It was decided by more than a few countries (how many declared war on you last turn?) that your buildup of a huge fleet in the Med was a direct threat to a bunch of realms and when the Mamuluke player asked for assistance, realms agreed to give him some. None of this has anything at all to do with your personality or lack thereof; it's all based on strategic considerations. You're weak and you're isolated from your allies; that's double bad, honey bunch.

The Mamulukes intended to attack you, period. You are their logical enemy as they are yours. That you foolishly prepared to attack Italy rather than where you should have is your problem. You could have struck into Mamuluke territory two turns ago in Barca and Tobruq against little resistance. You blew it and now you're in for an uphill fight.

So, suppose the independent nation has 5 units, A has 10, B has 15.

X would do 2/5 of his damage to A and 3/5 to B.
A would do 1/4 of his damage to X and 3/4 to B.
B, 2/3 to A, 1/3 to X

If so this whole scenario would favor the smaller force A who would transmit 75% of damage to B while B only transmits 67% to A.

Yes, that's how it works I believe. I'm not sure it "favors" A; he still has to defeat both X and B to gain the province.
