Hi guys well I am building my army again as you can see and I want to thank HSH for making this Era more fun even if you (cough cough) are not trying

Anyway the reason for this new thread is I am wanting peoples opinions on disbanding your squads that are trapped. for my opinion you should stand and fight and kill as many as you can but is this tactically correct?

I know you keep a small portion of workers and resources when you disband troops but if you have the chance to inflict some damage on the enemy why disband?

so yes or no disband or try your best to inflict harm on the enemy.

I am curious to hear what others have to say on this matter?

As I said I think I would personally do my best to kill as many enemy as I could even when I am trapped. I think to disband is cowardly but that is my personal opinion

I am interested to hear the HSH person that did this as to their opinion and why they did it.

Thanks

if i am lock down. then i will love to stand and fight. disbanding is not my thing.

I am with you

Disband. For example, if it's 10 armies vs your 1, you will barely do any damage anyway. But they will still get the XP. So might as well get your workers back, and not give them the xp.

fair point but if you have 16 full squads that will do some damage even if out numbered?

Better to disband. Get the population, and rebuild with it. More pop, higher income: not so drastic a loss of power.

Though I take your point, good to deal damage. But you have to be realistic and assess the situation. Its not worth losing everything, to kill a few armours

For me it depends on how many units you are gonna kill.

I don t remember well the exact number of squads, maybe my mate had 16 squads locked and POKE sent 90, more or less.

so not a fair fight, right?

Disband was the best he could do, why give to your new army XP if he could get his workers up to rebuild?

If u wanted to fight with him you should have sent just your army, maybe u could deal with him alone, following your reazoning, was cowardice of ur part too?

LOL I was not even their and following your reasoning what you did when I was asleep cowardice too? at least he was awake and trapped by us not asleep and free to leave like I was... if only I woke lol. So yeah careful who you call coward ok please I never called you guys cowards when it took 4 of you to kill me in my sleep in fact I didn't even blame you lol my fault for falling asleep so no don't call anyone a coward.

I am interested in this topic because it now seems to becoming common place tactic and one worthy of investigation hence why I started the thread

hmmm i would disband if i think i cant even make a dent in their power but if i think i can do 75% of the damage that my army was suppose to do in a proper battle then i will just let em hit my army and enjoy the BR
