Losing power when you win a battle?

[luduin]

I do not understand why i lose power when i win a battle. I could see losing power if i lose i too many troops but there is no reason i should lose power if i win a battle. I should gain power not lose it

[crazy man]

that happens 2 me too sometimes. even when I don't loose troops

You lose power because TON is jsut a game of chess, attacker has the first go, then the defender has theres. Go and read the battle mechanics to understand it better.

This makes no sense. there is no point in fighting a battle if you lose power every time you win. it makes attacking useless. you win you lose power you lose you lose power no biggy. you lose either way.

In war, lives are lost on both sides, that is how warfare works, the object is to wipe out the enemy and survive.

Has a war in history ever been fought that did not have losses of life on BOTH sides? Not one that I can think of.
I really don't care about power. It's not a measure of skill, or knowledge, or the strength of the troops you possess. It is just a number. As long as the opponent lost more than me, I'll be happy. Even if I lose more, I'll be just fine. I learned what I did wrong, and can figure out a way to win next time.

If you are so worried about losing power then why did you choose to play a war game Luduin ? O..o
