Talk:Besieged Server Records

Server Losses (Details)
This is a more detailed table with all the information above. It's everything I have gathered up. I'm using this to determine the order servers lost their 1st besieged, who lost twice before the others, who lost first, second, fifth, etc to the Undead, etc. It's only for maintaining records, NOT for any bragging rights (every server has its strong points and weak points). My eventual aim is to have a Server Statistics section on each server page with information derived from this, the order Relic Weapons were obtained in/which ones a server obtained before other servers, etc, and the order the servers beat Twinkling Treant in. See its page for a table of the info I was able to gather up on it.

If your server lost in besieged, please post the date it has happened along with the army that won the AC. Any other notes (time it happened, lack of peeps, etc.) is helpful. When it comes to tiebreakers, the time of the day it happened will be the first tiebreaker.

Data: Loss came after a successful level 8 defense against trolls that saw high number of prisoners.
 * Titan [5] = 6/5/07 to Undead Swarm

Server Record Discussion
Maybe there should be a section on server records, like the order each server first lost a besieged and to whom. Maybe every 2 or 3 months, this section, or maybe subpage could be updated by people from each server to give the win:loss ratio over time. I envision a table, like 2Q 06 3Q 06 4Q 06 1Q 07, etc, with rows for each server.

Here's what I've gathered so far:

Diabolos- 7/18/06 to Undead Swarm source --Ichthyos 17:04, 18 July 2006 (EDT)

I've got the data table I'm working with down below. I just wish I could get the information from Hades. All the missing information's basically from them. So far, it seems nobody has lost to the Trolls (outside of that 1 server maintenance). --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 01:42, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Phoenix- 7/19/06 to Undead Swarm ~16:30 EDT recovery ~24:00 EDT --Hanyoko 01:50, 20 July 2006 (EDT)

Carbuncle- 25/07/06 Trolls followed immediatley by Trolls + Maintenance = loss (rant: maintence said would take a few minutes and it is now at 2hour mark) will update table when I get the wins.--Perim 15:11, 25 July 2006 (EDT)

Excluding the 4 technical losses:

7 losses to Mamool Ja,

11 losses to Undead,

0 losses to Trolls,

3 data missing

Conclusion: the Undead are the most powerful, the Trolls completely suck--zoogelio-forgot-his-password 19:51, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

If people can update the missing info from Ifrit's 2nd loss and add new losses, that would be cool since I'm only going to be able to check forums for any server losses sporadically between now and late July. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 17:22, 4 July 2006 (PDT)

Apparently, only Odin & Fairy lost during the June 19th Blitz. I still have yet to hear from Bahamut, Phoenix, Alexander, Ragnarok, Cerberus, Bismarck, Hades. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 12:57, 21 June 2006 (PDT) - Shiva's sole loss was the 15th, as you confirmed, nothing on 6/19. --Snojoex 17:41, 21 June 2006 (PDT) I heard back from Bahamut, Alexander, Cerberus. Alexander lost

Any server not listed here apparently hasn't lost.

And before the July update, can players from each server get their win-loss numbers so we can have the record in case the update purges it. If updates purge it, then we can just post the win-loss ratios for the segments between updates (since FFXI regularly has 5 updates/year in Feb, April, July, Oct, Dec).

--zoogelio-forgot-his-password 18:32, 10 June 2006 (PDT) -- updated: --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 16:31, 16 June 2006 (PDT)

Remora lost to Mammol Ja Savages on 17 July 2006. Only 250 peeps in Al Zahbi for the level 5 attack. -- Ayrlie 21:43, 17 July 2006

Phoenix just lost to Mamool Ja, ~7:00 PM EST. About 390 people in zone for level 6. --Kaeli 19:08, 16 January 2007 (EST)

How to determine records
Booya! It just hit me, we have this column (in server order, not alphabetical: so Bahamut on top, Hades on bottom) and record the scores, the date listed and if scores are purged every update, we create a second table, one with the date stripped from it and just the final score listed. So, in essence, there would be 2 tables: the active besieged cycle and the historical cycle, both listed separately. And when an active cycle becomes a historic cycle, it will be moved from the active table into the historic table, forming a new column, and the active table becomes blank. That's if the scores are purged.

I recommend going ahead with what you outlined above. Server order is found on the server page on FFXI wiki or by checking the connection status of all servers on the POL website. (I'd like to see Atomos Server's score. I'm sure its 0-100 by now :D)    --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 17:08, 20 June 2006 (PDT)

Edit: I still would like to keep a running account of server losses: when and to whom at least until every server has lost once to all 3 armies.

How do you look up the win-loss record? Do you have to talk to an NPC or is it given somewhere on the regional map? The article doesn't mention this. Thanks. --Pinkfae 14:22, 23 June 2006 (PDT)

Talk to any Sanction guard, select "I have some questions..." > "Besieged." > "Empire's current state of defense." --Ichthyos 14:27, 23 June 2006 (PDT)

See Sanction. --Gahoo 14:29, 23 June 2006 (PDT)

--- Besieged timers reset after every maintenance. Expect 2 to 4 besieges within a short time once maintenance ends. -- Ayrlie 23:23, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

FFXIclopedia needs reporters for Alexander, Ifrit, Ragnarok, Pandemonium, Garuda, Cerberus, Kujata, and Seraph. Anyone who's a regular on here who can post the numbers for these servers?

And I'm wondering if it can be coordinated to get officially designated reporters for all 32 servers who can update the numbers for their server here weekly (whatever day of the week suits them best). And to get these same people to post the numbers the hours before the July update (just in case the numbers get purged with the update so we can have numbers that are collected at about the same time for all servers so the most they could be off is by 1). --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 13:11, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

Fairy apparently lost again today: http://ffxi.killvoid.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=125926 --Aurikasura 18:05, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

--- The records of remora server may not be up to date for now. I've been forced away from the game due to personal reasons. --Ayrlie 18:51, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

Records moved
The records look nice on their own page. A little room to spice up the page, but I have to say I'm pleased with the move --Ganiman 05:59, 6 July 2006 (PDT)

Asura info
Ah Asura lost at least once to Mamool Ja >.< I'll check and edit later what the new 'score' is because it's been back since err Saturday and I know we won the next attack by the trolls --Tattersail 06:31, 10 July 2006 (PDT)

7/13 Seraph loss #4 Undead

We need someone reporting in for Hades, I read on one forum they had their 6th loss on the 17th. I've managed to get information for all servers' losses completely except for Hades. I have no info on their 4th or 5th losses (when and who), nor who they lost to on the 17th. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 01:42, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

FYI. Phoenix's first lost came 7/19/06 to undead swarm. --Gahoo 13:18, 20 July 2006 (EDT)

Hmm, I think the data section is a good idea. I'm beginning to notice a pattern to the losses (not that many people in the zone). Whenever we get losses posted, if people can check how many people are in the zone, we may find out where the cutoff point is for winning/losing (at what point below which victory is extremely hard to pull off). Though it would still be nice to get Hades' data since they're the little black hole in the data set (I'm a little pissed on that point because all my avenues for finding out turned up nothing so far and none of their forums, here, Allakhazam, FFXI Online: Dreams in Vana'diel, KI, have people who would post or know that information, and searches of blogs and live journals and doing a few searches using different search terms came up negative as well). --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 19:48, 20 July 2006 (EDT)

I see Fairy has 5 losses. I need info on when the 4th and 5th losses were and who they were too. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 00:25, 23 July 2006 (EDT)

---

Ramuh lost on 23 July 2006, according to the forums on ffxionline.com. -- Ayrlie 18:29, 23 July 2006 (CDT)

Can we have final reports on Besieged victory-loss numbers for all servers before the update starts? Try to get the word out to get everything updated here.

No reset with the update. --Tsakiki 19:57, 24 July 2006 (EDT)

Carbuncle's loss today was due to a maintance that started in the middle of the fight. way to go sqeenix.... :( our loss was to the trolls Ferine 19:02, 25 July 2006 (EDT)

Bahamut's probably about to lose. Just had a 2 hour event vs. the undead swarm (win), leaving us with 1 general and the mamool ja at stage 2.--Timon of Athens 03:49, 28 July 2006 (EDT)         Hmm.. seems we pulled out a win after all. Surprising considering how many people left, me included.--Timon of Athens 03:51, 29 July 2006 (EDT)

Carbuncle have lost again, off to bed so can't check wins/losses to update the table, will do it in the morning. Loss was to the Mamool Ja Savages.--Perim 21:10, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

According to posts on Killing Ifrit Hades forum, they lost to Trolls either on 30 July or 31 July. -- Ayrlie, 00:51, 1 August 2006 (CDT)

Remora got screwed out of the AC. Undead attacked shortly before maintenance begin, and people were booted due to maintenance. There were over 500 people awaiting the undead. Ayrlie, 15:31, 1 August 2006 (CDT); edited 15:47, 4 August 2006.

Phoenix lost to Undead Swarm today(8/18/2006) ~17:00 EDT. --Kaeli 17:05, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

Yet another loss for Carbuncle ;_; loss was to the Mamool Ja. We only lose so we don't show up the other servers, ya know >.> --Perim 13:20, 23 August 2006 (EDT)

Titan
Titan might lose. We started with only 190 people in the zone, and only now are people pouring in AFTER 5 generals died.

EDIT: Nevermind. Come from way behind victory. Terance

Phoenix loss #2 - 8/7/06 to Mamool Ja. --Gahoo 15:17, 8 August 2006 (EDT)

proposal to move server losses list to another section
I'm making proposal to move the server losses list to a new page. Feel free to comment on whether or not it should be moved. -Ayrlie, 9 August 2006, 22:06 (CDT)

I'm not sure about that right now. I was using the data to gather some facts to add to each server page, like Server X was the nth server to lose Besieged for the first time and the mth server to lose to the Undead, lth to the Mamool Ja, kth to the Trolls. I was just planning to collect this data until every server has lost once to the Mamool Ja, the Undead, and the Trolls. I think it doesn't merit a page of its own since it's more of a data pool. But, it can also be used to gather information on Besieged, like determining how many players are needed to successfully defend Al Zahbi (where the critical population threshold is). So, I think leaving it here is the most logical choice. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 08:46, 10 August 2006 (EDT)

Proposal is dead for now. However, expect some minor rearranging (will likely move the server losses details towards the top), and I created a section for people to list future defeats. -Ayrlie 24 August 2006, 09:10 (CDT)

Moved the detailed server losses section to the very top. --Ayrlie 1 September 2006, 11:57 (CDT)

Server Order?
Hmm, someone changed the list from their server ID / POL.com order into alphabetical. I'm personally ok with it, but just wanted to point it out. --Ichthyos 02:03, 11 August 2006 (EDT)

Eh, I don't like it all that much. I'm too used to seeing Shiva 2nd from the top, when I came this morning to change its record, I actually had to scroll down the page >.>;; kidding, I'm not THAT lazy, but I personally preferred the POL ID order > Alphabetical, just cuz I guess I was used to the list from the POL site. But, I guess I can adapt. Snojoex 12:40, 11 August 2006 (EDT)

I kind of like alpha here. --Gahoo 13:03, 11 August 2006 (EDT)

Quetzalcoatl lost legitamately to the Mamool Ja Savages on August 11th, 2006. We got it back sometime the next day.

I preferred it in POL ID order. Not only did I start to memorize the order they were in, but I like things being consistant with in-game and official stuff. --Jopasopa 08:30, 20 August 2006 (EDT)

Post recent server losses here
For now on, if your server loses a besieged, please post the date, estimated time of defeat, and the army that won that besieged down here. Any other information (such as lack of generals, lack of peeps, maintenance, etc.) is helpful but not required. In addition, we are still missing information about besieged losses from several servers. Ayrlie 24 August 2006, 09:06 (CDT)

Fairy
Lost a level 4 trolls besieged several days ago. I am not sure of the details, nor have I had time to cull information from the server or forums. Not sure on the number of consecutive wins, can't remember what the gaurd said.Asparath 03:04, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

Bahamut
Bahamut lost on 21 sept to the undead swarm. During the fight, I saw 3 generals go down due to the Bhoots' special attack, Perdition, at 3 different times. 350 climbing to 400 people participating. Lamia No.4 took the astral candescence after spamming her charmga inside the hall of binding.--Timon of Athens 01:29, 21 September 2006 (EDT)

Bahamut's second loss occured on 5 OCT to the mamool ja. 200 people participated. Had lost some generals to the trolls shortly beforehand (number missing uncertain). More details as I find out.--Timon of Athens 00:50, 6 October 2006 (EDT)

Kujata
Is Kujata's loss record of 34 real? --Russta 16:43, 2 September 2006 (EDT)

Um. A check ten minutes ago says otherwise. I don't think we're that bad at Besieged. --Tony 08:02, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

Fenrir
Has Fenrir lost 3 times? Last I checked, it lost only because of maintenance.

It was confirmed via Killing Ifrit that they had lost on 7/26 due to the Troll glitch. Their recent loss happened sometime between 1 September and 3 September, but I need confirmation on exact date and the winning army. --Ayrlie 5 September 2006, 07:48 (CDT) Update:  someone posted on Fenrir alla forums they had lost to the undead and AC was recovered on the 4th. 3 September 2006, 13:58 (CDT)

current record for Fenrir
as of Sept.14, current Fenrir record is 251 victories and 5 losses. Don't know when exactly Fenrir lost the defense but this should make the stats more accurate.

Midgardsormr

 * 1) Undead Swarm took the Candescence today, Sept 21st.  That brings it to a total of 11 losses and 243 victories.  Not sure when the other losses were that weren't counted in the table. --Tythera 15:53, 21 September 2006 (EDT)
 * 2) Trolls took the Candescence today, Sept 29th.  Brings Midgard to 12 losses and 256 victories overall.  --Tythera 15:37, 29 September 2006 (EDT)
 * 3) Undead Swarm took Candescence yesterday (I think), on October 14.  That's 13 losses.--Zagex 01:22, 16 October 2006 (EDT)
 * 4) Trolls took Candescence today, November 30.  That's 14 losses.--Zagex 20:54, 30 November 2006 (EST)

ragnarok
just lost to undead today, jan 24th, at about 3:45 pm est

Garuda
The Server took its 12th loss sometime between March 30-31st 2007. Only confirmed information is it was back-to-back level 7 Beseiged, with the 2nd being the Undead Swarm. The A.C. Was recovered by the morning of April 1st. --Ellisnae 20:40, 1 April 2007 (EST)

Quetzalcoatl
Quetz just suffered its 10th loss at around 8PM EST on 4/16/07. Was a level 7 Troll attack. We went into it with 2 generals (Mihli and Zazarg), due to 2 back-to-back level 7 attacks from Mamool Ja and Undead about an hour or so before the Trolls. --Kyrial 20:38, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Valefor
Val lost besieged last night to Undead Swarm @ lv 8, I was not present but it was full (705 in zone). ~8:30ish pm PST? Leuqarte 10:54, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

Data Synthesis & Tactical Analysis
I'm trying to gather data from all the reported losses for statistics to differentiate each server (along with other metrics like performance in Ballista Royale 2005, fighting the Twinkling Treant, obtaining Relic Weapons [ranking in obtaining at least 1 of each of the 16 types of relic weapons or the first server to obtain a relic ___], etc) for information to put on their server page (besides interesting events, like the time Vrtra appeared on the surface of KRT, or the time a GM forgot to put on Invincible status and was killed by a Camazotz) just to individualize them more (even though all servers are almost identical in terms of great players, cliched noobs, RMTs, lousy players, endgame squabbling, and so on). I was planning on synthesizing the other data from Besieged battles, like what the threshold is for # of defending players to successfully protect the AC, though I'd like for someone else to do that since I'm still working on getting historical articles for the history of each Job in FFXI so far and the history of each FFXI Job across the FF series (like in what game does Chakra originate, or Convert, or so on).

Can someone pour through the data associated with each loss and generate a tactical analysis to determine what it takes to win or lose a Besieged? The findings should be added to the main besieged page. Structurally, there are 3 major variables to take into account: number of defending players, number of generals at the start of battle, level of the Beastmen army. Obviously there is no one magic number, but there should be a minimum threshold of players needed for guaranteed success at each combination of Beastmen army level & # generals. There may even be a 4th variable: type of Beastmen, especially since there are far more losses to the Undead & Mamool Ja than to the Trolls (though many of those losses were before the Trolls were strengthened with the July changes).

I envision this as a text section describing how each variable impacts the chances of success/loss of a Besieged event and maybe having some sort of table, where one axis is the # of generals present, the other is the LV of the Beastmen army and the numbers in that data table will be the minimum number of players needed to successfully defend the city under those conditions. It may be worthwhile to have 3 tables like that, one for each army. With as much as players of FFXI love to devise strategies to beat mission bosses or NMs or the best ways to play a Job, this Besieged tactical analysis would go right up that alley and I'm sure would be of interest to many readers. With as often as Besieged goes on and 32 separate servers, there are more than enough opportunities to figure out where the limits are. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 15:44, 24 September 2006 (EDT)

Possible Vandalism
Unless Siren and Lakshmi had a series of losses in the last few days, there's been vandalism of this page. The culprit should be pretty easy to find on the history page and admonish. I'll leave the reverts and warnings to the usual enforcers of vandalism. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 19:03, 26 December 2006 (EST)

I've updated Lakshmi's record to be correct as of right now. Can't speak for Siren though. --Tsakiki 23:27, 26 December 2006 (EST)

The culprit is Crazman with the 23:48 update on 12/26/06. Before, Siren & Lakshmi were both 0 losses, but Crazman changed the losses to 5 and 7 respectively (without updating the last updated date nor the wins column) and updated Leviathan. They've been posting a lot of revisions to this page today (see the History page). I recommend scrutinizing the recent changes Crazman has made. Who deals with trash like this? They should check all of these revisions and see if anything is legit in it or not and warn them or ban them, whatever Wiki policy is on knowingly posting false information. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 18:01, 27 December 2006 (EST)

Another Update for Lakshmi
Small update, added 2 more victories to the count from yesterday. By the way, what does the Imperial Defense Factor do? --Blue Lotus 05:13, 29 December 2006 (EST)

Basically, it affects what NPCs appear in Besieged. It also affects how much of those gates appear during Besieged. Probably best if I put this on another page, but here are the Imperial Defense requirements for each NPC: Bastion Gate x2: Unknown City Gate x6: Unknown Imperial Trooper x12: 120~ Imperial Defense Value Immortal Guard x6: 140~ Volunteer x14: Always present Goblin Lansquenet x5: 180~ Qiqirn Freelance x15: ~100

Not sure if the number of NPCs of 1 type is always static, or if it depends on the Imperial Defense value. --Jopasopa 09:43, 29 December 2006 (EST)

New Column in the record page
How about this: Put a column to tell who has the AC at the time of the update? --Zero 11:48, 13 January 2007 (EST)

Consecutive Wins
I don't get this section... Is it the consecutive record of that server? How long that server went undefeated? The most recent consecutive wins? --Jopasopa 19:43, 16 January 2007 (EST)

From what I gather, its the current winning streak, how many wins the server has had since their last loss. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 17:53, 17 January 2007 (EST)

Siren has lost!?
I cannot confirm this myself, but rumor in my Linkshell is that Siren's record is currently at 500-1. I will update the page with information as I recieve it.

If this is true that Lakshimi stands as the supreme server for Besieged. --Sakaki22 13:46, 22 January 2007 (EST)

Confirmed: This is NOT true. As it stands right now, Siren is 502-0. --skenter4 14:47, 22 January 2007 (EST)

Thank you. --Sakaki22 15:01, 22 January 2007 (EST)

Alexander
I can get an up to date record of Alex's besieged, I'll confirm with the guard today and post back.~ Edit: Alex is currently 504 wins to 10 losses.

Titan's Record 2-20-07
Since it has not been updated in a while - as of 2-20-07, Titan has had 542 Wins, 3 losses, and has been "successively victorious in 233 battles". Stinkyfeet - Titan.

Fairy's Record 3-01-2007
I was under the impression that we were not counting Fairy's three losses that occurred due to maintainance and due to glitches. I am going to revert it once again to 15 losses. 18 losses three of them are NOT counted in this table due to maintainance and the troll glitch. I will also look to see who is making the alterations. Please read the talk page before you edit the records.Kmbell81 00:10, 2 March 2007 (EST)

I forgot to mention I do not want a revert war, could an admin take care of the person that keeps reverting the record to 18 losses.Kmbell81 00:15, 2 March 2007 (EST)

Even if you got one in a screwball fashion, a loss is a loss and you got to accept it. ALL losses are counted, whether or not you got screwed. Several servers have been screwed by flukes like mass d/c and maintenances in the past. They have not whined about those defeats listed on the server losses page. Until there has been further information from Gahoo, your server loss page will list 18 defeats and that is my final decision. If there is any attempt to change that, I will revert it.

The numbers listed on the main page should be the official tallies. Even the unfair losses should be counted on that page. The determination of justified losses vs. losses that were out of the server community's control should mainly be used for various statistics that can go in summary sections for the history of Besieged or on each server's individual page, such as the xth server to lose to Trolls or in listing the order servers lost in. In those situations, the out of player control losses shouldn't be counted, but this server records page should list what the Besieged tally NPC says verbatim (well, its a little more than verbatim since we add in the date the entry was updated). --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 22:28, 3 March 2007 (EST)

Thank you for the clarification explaining proper form for this article. In that case, the information at the top of this page should not say "NOT COUNTED" when a server loses due to a glitch, maintainance, or mass d/c. There should also be a notation at the top of this page that says something to the effect of: "All server losses are counted regardless of the circumstances under which the loss occurred." The phrase "NOT COUNTED" should be omitted from our discussion of server losses however as it is misleading and inaccurate (the circumstances of the loss can still be maintained under this formula.) This will also help maintain consistancy between the article and discussion pages.Kmbell81 20:45, 4 March 2007 (EST)

Server Record Updating
With as many contributors to the FFXIclopedia as there are and as many Besieged-fans as there are out there, every server should have its Besieged record updated once a week, or in the very least once every 2 weeks. And can people from Bismarck, Cerberus, Garuda, Gilgamesh, and Pandemonium bring their server's records into this calendar year?

And one point for the near future- for April 20th, 2007, can people from each server get their server's most up to date record and update this page so we can see for all 32 servers what their Besieged tallies are after 1 year of Besieged?

And small question to ponder. For Atomos server, do the GMs defend the Astral Candescence or did some army take it shortly after ToAU's release? Which army might it have been? --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 22:38, 3 March 2007 (EST)

Proven to be the Trolls that took the Astral Candescence on Atomos. The Trolls are level 0 Defending. (Hacker named Taj got into Atomos and found out)

Updated Bismarck record. No losses since the 29/DEC/2006 update. -- Seedling 20:00, 9 April 2007 (CET)

Kujata Server Update May 30th 2007
Al Zahbi has been successively victorious in 33 battles to defend the capital, bringing the Imperial defense to a value of 109. The Imperial captial has seen 670 victories overall, and the Astral Candescence has been seized by the beastmen a total of 17 times. 09:53, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

level 8 besieged
the update happened, and so far it has been confirmed that 10 servers had lost besieged since the update (via various forums and other players). many have lost despite 700 peeps and 5 generals, and almost all have mentioned about some of their nms (especially to undead swarm and mammol jas) are nasty. Ayrlie 22:38, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

Besieged Broken?
At around 11:00pm EST the Undead Swarm and Troll Mercenaries were stuck at level 1 preparing, full bar. In addition the Mamool Ja are stuck at 1 under full bar level 0 training. They have been stuck like this for at least 2-3 hours. Is any other server having this problem? Talouin 00:24, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

On Lakshmi Trolls were in the same situation for several hours as of 3AM CST.--Ryeshinyih 03:58, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Oops, I forgot to mention that this was Lakshmi. Did the undead swarm eventually attack? I went to sleep and they were still level 1 preparing (after approximately 3 hours of being in this state at full bar) Talouin 08:03, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Heres the way it works. The default values for the enemy armies have always been half of what it takes for them to march. When Besieged was level 5, they would advance at 150, and so when they were defeated, it would drop to half of 150, which was 75. When Besieged was level 6, it was increased to 160, and it would drop to 80. Level 7, increased to 170, dropped to 85. But now the requirement to advance has been increased to 200. So when an enemy army is defeated, it drops to half of 200, which is 100, which is in the preparing stage. It doesnt mean that they're number are rising, it's just how the numbers are designed to work out. --Thalandor46 18:58, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
