After serious studies, IoC (Institute of Claus) has reached some comclusion based on firm and strong theories and empirical evidence.
To satisfy the readers curiosity, let me present two cases, A and B.
Case A: Knights: low numbers. Rooks: even lower. Bishops: high numbers.
Rooks are cornered and fighting hard. Knights are somewhat cornered, and the fighting spirit and intelligence is equal to that of the Rooks. An attack on Knightlandia mainland takes place: after the warning is sounded, the average response time for the Knights under good circumstances means that only two fields are lost: the port P55 and and an adjacent airfield, a56.
Knights quickly counterattack, and within an hour, both bases are taken back. Knight numbers are 50.
Case B
There are many players online. Bishops have the majority, closely followed by Rooks and Knights who have only 20 players less than the Bishops.
An attack on Knight homeland takes place. A28 is lost. The alarm has been sounded, and some players adamently pleads for assistance. A45 is lost without much of a struggle. more pleas for assistance.
The majority of the Knights are currently fighting around a12, bish territory, with absolutely nothing being gained. Knight Supreme Über strategist tries to muster pilots for a very necessary strike: from A4 into A1: get a foothold on that most valuable Furball Island. Number of Knights: 120.
Not long after, 53 and 47 are lost. P55 falls, as does A56.
From cases like this, the Institute of Claus has made the following observation:
The IQ of the average Knight (called KIQ) can easily be calculated by:
KIQ = P/n, where P is a pool, from which all knights receive intelligence, and n is the number of Knights online.
Currently the Knight IQ Pool is around 5000.
In case A, that gives a KIQ of 5000/50 = 100 - quite average.
In case B: 5000/120 = 41.6.
So, the conclusion is: the more Knights that's online and fighting, the dumber they are.
And the dumber the Knights are, the easier they are to defeat.
So, the sum of it all: wish for many Knights online: for then surely shall they be reset.
This has been an IoC production. There shall be more.

Thanks....I feel dumber now...

ROFL.. dress 'em up, send 'em to school, they eat the teacher.
See what college does for yah? ;)

Has the IoC intelligencia taken into account rotating squads and how this affects your community and if so share the info!
-
Rotating squads have rotating intelligence - which account for the varying quality of their post on this message board.
There'll be a paper out soon explaining the effects of this rather interesting phenomenon
:D

I have to agree on that santa.
Last night when it was 80 knights and 27 rooks you tried to capture A1 for hours with no success. You kept getting slaughtered by the handful of rooks who also fought bishops in the south - yet you kept on coming.
It would have been smarter to admit your defeat and move to rook to even up the sides.. :p
-
In a strange way, it actually makes sense for how knights react.... I have seen these two cases demonstrated time and time again.
WTFG Santa for figuring this one out!
:D

IMHO your evaluation of the situaton concerning the Knights is right on!!! They will lose 5-6 fields while maintain an offense going after one field. When they finally get that field they congratulate each other on a job well done!!
They are basically ignoring the fact that they were getting pooch screwed and lost half their map in the process!!
I dont bother anymore, I just sit back and laugh!
:)

UUUHHH OOOHHHHH YEEAAHH
It feels so good to be a knight!
:D :D :D :D :D
Only knights know, how to have real fun!!!!

ROFL :D

A couple of days ago I was one of those guys pleading for assistance. I was being nice about it with some gentle prods such as... "way to go knights we've lost 3 cv's and 2 fields in under 30 min" can we please get some of you to defend! Then some guy comes on and says "look past the end of your nose acid, we've taken most of the arena today"... grrr The bish are about to cut through our mid section like a chainsaw and this guy thinks that just because we have most of the arena that we are automatically gonna win the reset. Then one of my friends comes on and says, we've appoint you the defender of the middle section. I laughed, but the bish proceeded to take yet another base. Then, only after 3 CV's had been sunk, and 3 fields captured did the knights finally respond in force. Go figure. :D I don't have a problem with people not wanting to land grab, but that doesn't stop me from trying to rally troops!

Uhmm ..I don't understand this topic...?..!...? :confused:
Eh uh mmh, this qualifies me as a real knight?
:D

LOL how true LePaul.. I haven't flown with Bishops or Rooks since my beginning in AH, but I'll assume they don't have as many FWI cases [flying while intoxicated] flying for their country :D. Knights have probably the highest drunk pilot to normal pilot ratio. Several players consistantly openly discuss their drinking habits! Now i'm not going to name names... nop lepaul .. excuse me... but I dont know if it helps improve their skills or what! I, Octavius, have never flown sober before. Well.. there was this one time I did... but we wont get into that... it brings back bad memories. Ahh.. but I've been flying with my good buddy and wingman named Jack. He's great
heheh.. cheers
oct out!

I've always said that if stunninghunks could fly, this place would be an airport!
Thank You and Goodnight,

Imagine that! Knights and IQ in the same sentence! :D

Jeez, and here I wuz lookin' for some kinda great instructional manual about how to defend HQ. All I see is a bunch a numbers and stuff that don't really mean anything to me...talk about thread hijackin'...

Hehe, all I know is that this knight flies like a "wild turkey" once in awhile:p And of course, we all know that wild turkeys are actually pretty dang smart (try hunting one if ya don't know what I mean)! Of course, this also leads to the "ohholycrap there's three of 'em on my 6" mistake that has been known to plague those who partake of the spirits. Just remember to shoot at the one in the middle:D
