I'm unsure what you want us to do with a partial report and no other info.

However, I can offer a theory: his RC was already down. Two guards up would be what I'd expect his Friends to raise, the units I see could've easily been produced since the attack that took his RC down (that Fleet can be trained in about 12h). Could've also returned from somewhere, but the numbers feel way too thin.

Did you scout him after you FSed him, to check if there's anything left there? Or, at least, followed up with a single FS to check the same thing? Not more than 1 unit of each type would've popped up if you FSed him within 2.5 minutes after the hit above if it's just his production (i.e., if the 10-pack you've sent killed everything).

I don't have a verifiable explanation, so I asked the Powers That Be. Hopefully, we'll get back to you soon.

As far as the fireships go. I was only allowed to send 5 times. I received around 100--0 points for other FS's. I never knocked the cannon down. Its the same problem I still have. Im not getting the points. I don't know how to clipboard the screenshots yet. I will try to learn before I send any more messages. Thank You for your patience with my ignorance.

The cannon may have been down from before.

If the player is inactive, the points get divided by a constant that depends on the length of inactivity.

Anyway, let's see what Plarium will say about the above.

The main reason for getting reduced points is killing offense units insted of defense units


Only 315 marauders are needed to stop a fireship, but you will get terrible points becuse they only have weak defense values.

40 offense x 315 marauders = 12,600 fireship strength


Marauders only have 6.75 defense so we SHOULD be able to kill 1867, not 315 with each fireship


We complained years ago that offense units were allowed to use their offense stats to defend against fireships, but were using their defense stats when calculating pvp points

Plarium want it both ways

My fireships are almost worthless. I'm playing Pirates Tides Of Fortune on sirens Straits. My cords are x: 561 ; y :-309

Im only getting 40 points and not killing off all the troops. Scout  http://prntscr.com/6n8mm  

Fireship  http://prntscr.com.t6n91f  

This has been going on for about 4 weeks. I never get more than 40 points no matter what is there. Its the same problem I used to have on Pirates bay. Could you please fix this for me ?

Sincerely

Plove

Your first screenshot is not loading.

However, this looks ok to me. You are killing Brigs, which are off units [see what Snowgoon wrote above].

So, when hit by FSs, it's their basic off score that's relevant, not their def one. Basic off of a Brig is 720, so you kill 12600/720 = 17.5 ~ 18 of them. Looks fine to me.

As for points, because these Brigs are defending, their basic average def is relevant. For Brigs, that's (80+100+100+80)/4 = 90. So, your points are 17.5 * 90 / 40 = 39.375 ~ 40.

That's why I always say that - if you want to defend at all - off is much better against Fireships than def. Of course, that has other problems. See here. This is also why I use Marauders - not Bonnies - as envoys in friendly havens: to reduce points anyone gets when hitting them with Fireships.

If you find only or mostly off somewhere, don't use Fireships. Send proper off and chart it.

You get free revivals only for your own units lost in the battles at your own haven (so, only for the units you lost defending your haven): https://prnt.sc/t7vdp6 .

As for BH quests, please report here.
