Base Defense



You are responsible for your own defense. Your AOM allies will assist you when and where they can, but they are not resposible for your defense. You are.

The first step in defending yourself is to determine your need to defend. It may seem obvious, but don't overlook this fact - there is no need to defend yourself if no one attacks. Attacking is not free. It costs APC duratbility and it costs time. So your first line of defense is to remove the incentives to attack you.

During normal game play there are two primary incentives for a potential attacker to attack you:
 * 1) To plunder resources
 * 2) To accumulate troop kills - which improve the attacker's Commander Kill Ranking

Determine the need to defend.

Minimize the incentive to attack you.

Minimize "plunder"able resources.

Minimizie troop - no more than 3 APCs

Send APCs to gather.

During Kill Events there are primary incentives for a potential attacker to attack you:
 * 1) To plunder resources
 * 2) To accumulate troop kills - which improve the attacker's Commander Kill Ranking
 * 3) To Kill Your Trrops - to accumulate Event Points
 * 4) Zero you for a foothold into your hive.
