Here's one idea I just recieved about how the "level" could be calculated:(150*Rank - Rank^2)+ (Total Fighting Force*2) Then devide the above result by 100 and add:+ 2*Attack Specialists + (Spies+Sentries)\2Heres an example. If you were ranked 50th, had a total army of 20 of which 10 were attack specialists, and you had 2 spies and 2 sentries, the formula would be.150*50 = 75007... read more.
I mean I had 13 attacks on me. >_< But now I got a little revenge....I upgraded everything and destroyed and killed everyone except COMPAQ. I need to get him!
Lol to me only reading the title and the post int his thread. I just realized the forum it'sin. I saw the word attacked and went he got what. Glad your okay for real.
In this world of emotion, that word still shouldn't be used in your title. Please use caution in the future. Now to reply.
In the beginning, you will be attacked, there is nothing you can do really. But to attack this situation what you should do is - nothing. Spend the money you have when you check your army, but save your turns...down the road there'll be more money to take, and the more turns you have, the more times you can take big profits. Even if you don't have the best of statistics there are sure to be users who are relatively inactive who don't have stats better than you...so this means you get to climb the ladder, milking from inactive users to start and working your bonuses up to being able to attack the big fish.
You should try seeing from my side: I went away for two weeks and came back to find out that my account has been a feeding frenzy to another member. And because I made high amount of money per turn, during the times which I was gone, this member had a field day earning free money--and still continues today. I should just pack it up and concentrate on IPBGaming's site.
I dont even start anymore. I experience joining the Army System is very unfriendly for new commers, and if you dont play like hell after the reset ur gonna be bully'd by the guys who did play it like hell and are on the higher ranks...
Like I say, this place is for advanced players. If you think you can hang with us, give it a shot, IPB Gaming has the experienced AS players that will make it tough to reach the top.
I'm back here on Trap17's AS. I reset the army and quit a couple weeks ago because I couldn't stand how slow it moves along, but after awhile, it's just another AS to try and dominate, so I'm back in. I don't mind the attacks - I just copy those names down who attack me - when the hunt begins, they'd better watch out .

Well this game is fun and annoying at the same time. Last night I lost 500g because I was gone of course. I made 2 million though attacking those who had over 200 thousand so I could upgrade even more. It's funny, even though you are ranked higher, you still lose to some of the people below you.
Yeah, it is funny. But it can also be rather a setback if you've just started or restarted.
Some people I've talked to think that the armies should be given levels based on their power, financial success and army size, and then you should only be allowed to atack people who are 3 levels above or below you. I actually agree with this idea, though I think the margins should be bigger for higher levels. I can't think of a good formula though...

I never thought I would get to the point I am now. I too thought that it would be impossible to get to the top(close to it) but I was wrong. I used to be rank 2 and sandbox passed me and floresid up so now I'm 3.
You just have to spend a bit of time in the game, and use your gold often.
I know what you are saying. When I used to play this game I hated how I might have made 20k gold and someone came and took it all. You have to spend your money to keep it safe.
Everyone knows that ipbgaming is THE place to go for the army system, especially since Trap17
ditched their one over a year ago, but I'm a little put off by the idea of joining another site
just to play the one game. Also, I hear that the Army System goes through many advancements, or
"Ages", quite frequently, and I've heard that once a new age begins, your old game is ditched,
making it practically worthless. So my question is, what do you think? Is the Army System on
ipbgaming.com actually worth signing up for? ...
Army System Back up on Trap17 It looks like the army system is back up on trap17. This is good
because it will give more incentive to come here and post. I don’t really need web hosting any more
anway. I can create the content I want on the newmars wiki. However, I would like to maintain my
hosting anyway. Playing the army game at ipbgaming was fun but there was nothing to do between
your turns and hardly anyone posted over there. It is really a pain to go over they play for a bit
then come back here to post. If I have to go somewhere else to post from where I am play...
I noticed the Army system, including all of IPB is completely down. I went to check my posts and
see about the AS since I do it in my spare time (very little indeed), and found it to be not only
down, but the rest of IPB as well. I don't know about anyone else here, but it doesn't look
real good. Could someone explain this slight dilema and possibly what is going on? Thanks!...

I've seen too many posts in this particular forum that contain very little knowledge! So
let me break things down for you in one post! 1. There is no army system here at Trap17. If
you are interested in playing with Trap17 members, venture over to www.ipbgaming.com/forum You will
then find not only Trap17 members stationed there, but you'll also find some of the best
competition as well! 2. There is no army system here at Trap17! That means you no longer

Just wondering if playing with the army system still added to your post count. I tried logging into
ipbgaming, but my trap17 username and password didn't work...which leads me to think the answer
is no. If an admin could confirm this that'd be great....
Well you've probably noticed your army system is gone, yeah I know it's kinda sad if you
where one of those who where ranked high up. but with bad news comes good news, and the good news
is.... Opaque or NilsC updated the Army System to Version 2.1 which is a little different, but I
will explain the changes to you. Ok, first of there are now icons to represent things such as
items, and species, second there new races with new abilities, here is the list. Hand The species
blue indicates new sepecies Human: 25% Money Income Elves: 25% Force Bonus ...
Just wondering whom all in the Trap17 community likes to or is playing Army System on a website. I
for one love the Army System IPBGaming has, and some of you may know about it and even play there,
but for others, is there a forum you roam that has an Army System that you play? Give me some links

Is it me or has the Army System become less exciting? I don't even play at Kings of Chaos
anymore. The money, the soldiers, the turns. Everyone is like superman. Pleno, and me are like
gods. I even beat Florisid several times. And soon if you keep attacking people you turns, and
soldiers will run out. (Since you have to wait like 1200 weeks to get maybe 13 soldiers; whatever
you have upgrading your soldier reproduction to.) And like 1200 weeks to get more turns. So the Army
System needs to be taken offline, or either reseted because now its boring....
Hi all, It's been a few days age since i saw we all had incedibley much money, soldiers and
turns. It's also gonna take 1327 weeks or something untill we get new stuff. How is this
possible? Has someone hacked the Trap17 army system? And what are we gonna do now? Are you gonna
reset the army system? I finaly want to know.... Thanx in advance, Moody...
Is there any way you could add a player of the week mod one thats did the most damage one thats got
the most money stuff like that Also look at my rank a week playing and im like 67 or somthing...
I couldn't find a way to reassign the mercenaries from untrained to attack or defense. Of
course you can buy them directly into the slots that you need, but Is it true that you can't
move the mercenary units around between categories like you can with your soldiers? The other
question is, if not, might that be a good addition to the game? Are these mercenaries such rabid
beasts of war that they are simply untrainable? /tongue.gif' border='0'

Buffalo Help Has Requested I Create a Guide for playing the Army system Some old guides are: 1.
http://www.trap17.com/forums/newbies-army-...pros-t9620.html 2.
http://www.trap17.com/forums/page-1-t20638-s0.html 3.
http://www.ipbgaming.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29 Out of all the guides guide number 2 is the
best. However, a lot of types depend on the settings. The first guide (guide 1.). Is probably best
for the first army system on trap17 but probably not the best guide. I am going to start with some
basic stuff and then will probably later present some tips...

Given the problem of the army system I wonder if it might be better to just develop a home grown
army system from the members here. That way the people on the board who no the code really well and
be easily able to modify it. The code should have three parts, the data maintenance, the
computation, and the, user interface. Different teams could work on different parts and coordinate
there effort. The idea is to keep the software as clear and modular as possible. I would volunteer
to work on the computational aspects. This will include calculating the damage caused by we...
I looked at how many wizard I have and at the start of the day, I thought I had 700 and some. It
looks like I have nearly a thousand now. Did I not pay attention this morning? If the clock is still
ticking the first people back on the Army system are really going to clean up? If the clock is still
ticking I don’t know a fair way to start except announcing a start time at which point the server
will probably get loaded down again. Shall, I be plundered or be a plunder after the next restart if
it ever comes. ...
I want to add the Army System to my website, where do i get the script from, I have searched the
king of choes website and i have even emailed them but no reply, i thought trap17 might help out.

Okay, per request of...myself...this will now be a topic to post any and all tips, hints, and
strategies for the Army System. I'll start off by posting a few, and you can post some after and
I'll add it to this post. 1 -- Avoid Getting Farmed Spend your money often, because if you
hoard too much, this makes you a prime target for potential attackers, and then you will lose most
of that money, if you're unable to properly defend. 2 -- More Soldiers, More Money The more
soldiers you have in your army determines how much money you make every 30 minutes...
Get rid of army system on trap17's main domain. Set up a hosting account specifically for army
system. army.trap17.com or something. Then install IPB and army system on that. People that want
to play can go there and register to play. Disable all posting and other junk on that forum and
just enable army system. Set up a cron job to backup the database every day. This means the data
base can be restored without affecting trap17....
Hm, there really is a lot of underlying info for Army System you may not realize...might I suggest a
pinned-closed topic with different info in it? It seems like it would be useful to newbs and vets
alike. Some example info would be: Spend money, so you don't get farmed. More soldiers = more
money per 30 minutes And then we could add the more elaborate stuff like the spying formula......
Army System is supposed to be fun, it's nothing fair in a wargame. Everyone likes to attack but
cries when they come back and the money is gone /tongue.gif' border='0'
style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /> It's addicting and obsessive... Nils...
I was looking at a post today I started in the old army session. It was about attacking someone with
a lot less or a lot more spies. Although it is still relevant I would like to start afresh, rather
then have people dig through every old post that may or may not apply to the new system. So I may
start closing every old discussion prior to the introduction of the new system. However, before I do
this I would like some feedback. ...
it was posted that people use thier hosting credits to benefit their are amry for the game i know
the only problem would be to code that for the complete system. thoughts about it sounds like a
good idea but for reasons we already know about it will take awhile before that will happen any
thoughts?...
