Inelligence Projects

[Seik]

I know you have talked about it more than one time but I still don t understand it.

I m playing a PBEM game with a friend. I m producing ~110k IP/turn and he ~25k/turn.

He has Intelligence Lvl.3 and I have Lvl.4.

Over the Last 14 rounds I ve tried to break through his defense with "Puppet Political Partys"
every round but there was NO success.

And now (two times) I ve tried to attack with lots of projects (~10 projects/turn) ... and NO success.

What the hell I have to do to get a breakthrough?

-----------------

Next thing I do not understand:
I m running a Lvl.3 CI (~35% complete) but do not push it any more for a log time.
But it succesfully stopped a few attacks.

----------------- from MM FAQ:
However, if you have a defensive intelligence project, and you are not spending any points towards it, it will not provide any protection.
-----------------

Anyone an idea?

That quote happens to be wrong or outdated.

You have to wear out his stored up defenses.
If he's got 12 maxed out CounterIntel III's, then it is possible for him to have 6 Million points worth of defense. (But, it does take many years to build that up)

You have to deplete all of his storage before any of your projects will succeed.
When you attack, you reduce his storage at a 1:1 ratio.
There is also a 20% bonus to defense spending, so if you bLast away with your full capacity on offense, you will wear him down by 80K per turn.

So, at most, you will have to spend 1 turn attacking full-out for every 3 turns he has been building up intel defense.
Once you have broken through, roughly 2/3rds of your attacks will succeed.
To ensure the best ops succeed, spend 40K on quickie projects to eliminate his defense each turn, then throw in the PPP or Crew Insurrection before he gets next turn's supply of indel points.

Thanks SJ.

I think I ve to try harder to take his CI down.

and if he has some enemies then gang up on him

[Seik]

Hehe, yes that s what I ve done.

Let other empires declare war on him was an easy task. ;-)
