Okay, so one day I was wondering why I was losing minerals and I checked the Army thing because I lost minerlas from that before and it turns out a lot of people have been attacking me. So I decide to upgrade stuff instead of standing around getting attacked. So I attacked someone and got 0 minerals. Later, I attacked someone else and got 11 minerals. So I was wondering what determined how many minerals you get when you attack?
A: How many minerals they HAVE
B: How much damage you do(I think)
C: If you win at all
Ah, I see......ok, thanks!
(If you have a lot of minerals, put them in the DT bank

)
If you don't have an army, are your minerals safe (I just wanted to check,

)
No, anyone can attack you and take them, but not a lot.
is it possable to leave armys? and like not do it anymore?
I believe there is an option to do so yes, but I forgot where, so I just set it on the longest vacation.
To leave: Click the reset race somewhere.
BTW, you'd have to ask me how the army minerals are calculated, and my answer is, I got no clue. I messed around with a bunch of numbers to try to get it non-rigged, and thats all.
all i know is,
1. the more minerals they have the more you gain (if you win)
2. more turns is better then less, if you use the max 15 turns you will get alot more minerals then if you used say 5 (example i attacked urmom using 15 turns he had about 900 minerals so i got about 30 then i attacked him with 5 and only got about 5 or 6 minerals)
3. if you dont wanna lose your minerals, upgrade or leave the army (by clicking select race normally on the BASE page and clicking no race)
leaving army will get rid of all your current weapons and units and there wont be a refund, so be careful
I wonder how many people here I attacked..... lol
Ok, thanks for helps peoples.
