My respect for you just went from 0 to +2.
So, this is how you attack someone.
First, you check the recent attacks on the state.
If you have around the same amount of land as the state, and there is 1 or fewer attacks on that particular state then go ahead and hit it (mind you, you should never attack a state more than 2x in 36 hours, and 1x if that state is in top 10)
If you have 2k less land than that state and there is 2 or fewer attacks then hit the state.
If you have 4K+ land less than the state and there are 4 or fewer attacks on that state then hit it.
make a list of all the states you want to attack and attack them in order from highest to lowest land.
And I personally will attack a state 2x if on the first attack i get around 1k or more of land, however, some people i noticed will attack 2x if they get 500 land or more..
