does it actually destroy farms? it says up to 2% farms. does that mean 2% of current farms, or 2% of land size in farms?

if they are running 7% farms, and its 2% of current farms, then its 0.0014% of targets size in farms. so it would be extremely difficult to reduce their number of farms to a level that could cause a food deficit, even if you removed their spells..

is it a viable option for gimping LE's income or does it still destroy only negligible amounts of farms?

i ask these because in all my experiences, i have not seen PW destroy any farms. and if it is 2% of current farm amount, and farms are covering 7% of the targets size, above 750 land, you should start seeing atleast 1 farm destroyed per op, ive op'd on tribes much larger than that running as much as 9% farms, and still seen 0 destroyed. bad luck perhaps?

thanks in advance for responses.

PW destroys ALOT of farms :P
And I'm not 100% sure, but I think it destroys 2% of total land, even on dragons. Feels kinda like a possible bug there?
9 farms I think I destroyed per op on a dragon with 4500+ acres and 7% farms or less...

at 4500 acres 9 farms per op comes to exactly 0.2% of total land. so it seems they are taking normal damage from it.

one of the dragon balancing traits is
“Takes 50% less damage to buildings and military from invasions, thievery and mystics”

so they should be losing 0.1$ farms per op. you should submit this data to bug tracker, i would test in devork but i am unable to at the moment, if you post it there someone will verify.

P.S. i've seen 0 every PW i've done. guess i'll have to do more playing around with it. :P does its damage vary if you send more than needed?


Kelvin, February 2010

Yeah I was tired there, just thought that 9 was 2% :P

I was sending 1/3 TPA of target acres. That's what give maximum damage I think?
More shouldn't affect damage done...


Aqualightnin, February 2010

okay, yea i knew minimum was 1/3 tpa, thought it might increase with damage up to 1tpa or something, had to ask :) thanks for the info

PW was cast upon a dwarf, this dwarf had 8% farms, and over 2000 acres, and 18 successes of poison water killed 0 farms.. is this normal?

If you send too few thieves. Yes this is normal.

Send enemy acres/3(round up!) and with a minimum of 500.(as it's always been)

ehm.. thats my opx.
i send 2k thieft x 20 attempts.

so, i am just not lucky here [:s]


Aqualightnin, March 2010

it was 66% sent per op, min is 33%.. it should have done full damage

Have you reconed him to see if it's a display problem? Pretty sure i've gotten some poison water where it says 0 farms have been destroyed, while in reality my poor farms --> barren :(

@ Aqualightnin
The hypothetical dwarf you are talking about did get in his news 0 farms, but in reality that dwarf did lose farms according to the formula.

P.S That dwarf might be alittle upset and sad [cry]

Aqualightnin, March 2010

cool. i just wasn't sure if there was a conditional (no farms lost below a certain size or something) that i didn't know about :P.


Bolle, March 2010

That's only in place when i'm the target ;)
