| would someone explain me how it is possible to put 7 ambushes is sequence without to ambush even a caravan? |
you mean setting up an ambushes, and after 15 min it times out because you didnt catch anything?
well, welcome to level 9, lol
There is nothing you can do about it, or maybe set more ambushes at the peakhours and at the better routes |
| is not there something as after 2 or 3 unsuccessful ambushes, one successful with a caravan ??????? |
| No. Most probably you have to use some more frequent road. I dont believe you cant get a caravan at yellow lake-something road. If you want to ambush only caravans, forget about it and welcome to thieving. |
| caravans are trigured by people travleing, not an automatic thing. |
5. Are you sure of that?
If the caravans were triggered by players, it means that the chance to get a player would be the same for all levels. I get one player for about 5-10 caravans.
Level 6 thief gets one player - one caravan. If the trigger thing was really working, the chance would be same and kusika wouldnt be able to get a caravan at all when he was alone at his level. |
well, a travelling player is ONLY one of the many things that can cause an ambush to start
Because how would kusika else fight caravans when she / he was the only level 12 player |
Who said that the players triggering your ambush event must be your level?
You will fight only player in your level, but that is no clue whether or not player of other levels can trigger the combat for you. |
| If the other level players could trigger caravan, it would be the same average time for all levels to get a caravan. |
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly...
If you mean that the proportion caravan to player is different for different clvls (higher players get less players and more caravans), this would be in unison with my statement/theory.
Lower lvl players can activate the ambush, but will not be attacked by you, instead you get a caravan. Because there are less higher level players than low level players your chance of getting a caravan will be higher. That's the reason why a lonely lvl 12 (I know there are more than Kusika) can get caravans although no one has reached his lvl. |
Yes but it is the matter of time in which you get a caravan. Sven91 also noticed that with rising level your average time to get a caravan is longer. Why is that so if all high level players get caravans triggered by lower level players?
What you are saying does make sense but there is more to it I think, something like for every player of a low level traveling +0.1, for every player of your level +2.0 and a 20% chance to catch him, when counter reaches 10.0, caravan is ambushed. Or otherwise I can explain why should caravans take so long to come in higher levels. |
| And my explanation still doesnt explain those 1 second caravans that come few seconds after you set an ambush, maybe is just some random element added to the triggering ability. |
