Length of wars (Little Upsilon)

Yesterday I received a dec. of war, I guess wars start after a short delay as it said it would start at a certain date later in the day. Woke up this morning and war was over, my country gone. The war only lasted a few game months? (I counted 2 or 3). I never got a shot in. I had a Defense index of over 200.

Is it really that easy to take over other peoples countries in this game?

I thought the defensive weapons were worth something in this game, .....trippy. Either that or the automatic defense personnel fell asleep on the job... wow.

There are alot of factors to take into account when defending your country.

Your index doesn't always mean you will have a hard time taking a country.

For example, having a defense geared towards air and missile defense should give you a nice defense index over 200, but a strong ground invasion will quickly make for an easy conquer.

Refer to Wildeyes' guide in this general forum, rebuild and go kick some arse.

Ammo levels are easily over looked and as you can imagine weapons are useless without them.

War Index is a major contributor to length of time it takes to take a country...imperative that you have 100 forts...an inactive country with no Garrisons takes 2-3 hours to take down. An inactive country with a War index of 60 and no garrisons can fall in 15-60 Minutes.
