So... Quick Newbie question, On Earth 1 People keep mentioning "Vultures"

They broadcast stuff like "I hope a vulture doesn't steal this" and
"Vultures, the worst type of player"

What the hell is a vulture?

A "vulture" is someone who takes spoils of war from other alliances who fought for them.

Say you have 3 alliances, A, B and C

Alliance A and B have been fighting for hundreds of ticks. Alliance A finally kills their armies and are making their way to alliance B's hive. Before they can make it there, alliance C begin to attack also and take all the crystals and mines from alliance B before alliance A can get there. In this case, alliance C are vultures because they took the spoils from alliance A.

Hope that makes sense.

So, A vulture is someone who conquers a target Just when an alliance does the last invasion of said target.

Am I right?

Even i didnt know meaning of Vultures but i predicated the same as Abeyant said
By the way which alliance is been called vulture?

Thought he was talking about snipers lol

@Flare - Essentially yes. They prey on the weak after others fought them to make them weak

@Hitmo - Idk I'm not on E1

@Tortured - Nope, two different things.

Also, What is a sniper?

A sniper is a person (teammate or not) who launches a larger army at a particular target AFTER you have launched, in an attempt to kill you and steal it off of you. This is most commonly seen with wreckage spawns.

I know, I actually have never heard of the term vulture so I got confused

Avoid double posting if you can. Someone will combine those two for you when they see it.

And yes, a sniper is someone who MATCHES your ETA to a target (wreckage, conquer or mine) and sends more troops than you in order to kill your units, as Zealot said.
