I'm employed and enjoy Battledawn as a great time killer. I've played since the ships were triangles and there were no nukes or ion cannon, I even made up that "You are the leader of your colony, you make the calls, you decide your own fate." phrase on the wiki a few years ago, let me get that out of the way.

I started an alliance on Earth 4 (TC-Tinychan) on tick 40-something after about a month of inactivity, and brought a bunch of friends from a website I frequent.

I taught them how to play and what to build, and we were having fun.

Let me cut straight to the point, a nearby alliance run by some little kid (Raulillo, UJS alliance) attacked one of my friends, it was only a kid and another weak member. We counter attacked with a good amount of soldiers for that early in the game, and successfully conquered the kid. Feeling victorious we went to bed.

By next morning he had conquered my entire alliance by himself. At tick 60.

5 alliance members each defending themselves, all conquered with no problem. Not only us, but every single outpost and non-allied colony in the whole continent was conquered by this one kid.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Are the multiple alliance members that never talk or build outposts or attack, his alts? I contacted the admin and he said the IP ranges are all separate, it's hard to tell if he's using a proxy even as an admin.

Did he boost? Did he scream to his mom to buy him a token pack and completely decimate my legitimate team?

Needless to say my team is quitting BD one by one, without even a chance to enjoy it. Me and my brother who play this regularly are staying, but wearily.

WHAT HAPPENED?

wow this seems very improbable to happen in 20 ticks but this guy could either be:

1. lying and is not a kid but a massive booster and boosted

or

2. he seriously somehow managed to do this

steal his mother/father's Visa card, that's how.

Sure. I'll try to tell my team not to leave also, considering they were all immediately owned out of the gate less than 50 ticks into the game.

Like I said I'm employed and don't have time to play 24-7 like I used to in school, but I'll wait for another restart and try to somehow avoid invincible kids.

yeah dude find a dif world to start in and try over or try an RC world (they are easier to start in cause you get practice)

how about his main troops is somewhere not in his colony

so u didn't kill all his army.

that's why he can have enough troops to kill off you guys.

yeah....... or he boosted emergancy gold and wood heavy gold and wood and light gold and wood while ur alliance was asleep... but that would only give him about like 20,000 gold and wood. so maybe he had been storing up and rushed a ton of workers and went haywire.

20 ticks are enough to gain 2000 metal through production.

2 blue metal boost, 6000 more

1 red metal boost, 6000

1 emergency red, 5000

so totally he has more than 19k metal, enough to rush for 190 armor units.

not to mention the oil conversion.

depending how much he made per tick (in one world I'm making 250 metal per tick so he could have made easily 4,000 in 20 ticks)
