Warfare is in many ways broken because of the now much smaller clans.

The only goal for war is to kill the enemy countries. That was great when we had big clans - easy to get plenty of turns and all the fun with stonewalling and speed runs etc...

But with smaller clans killing is very hard.

What if we changed the goal of war? Or created a new category of war? A way for smaller clans to compete with each other, demonstrate cooperation and attack skills without having to put a couple of hundred turns online at the same time.

Could there be a way track LANDGRAB wars? Where declared war clans can attack each other for a set period of time and the land gained/lost is tracked and there are leaderboards with appropriate stats. No country outside of the declared war clans could attack (physical or spy op) during the war duration. Leaderboards would be needed to give incentive to be good at this.

This would give war clans a way to get into fights without the large numbers of players required and the baggage associated with the current wars. Since the land gained/lost can be normalized by number of members there can be some difference in the number of countries in the warring clans. And since these wars would have to be arranged it stops the large clans from just destroying small clan for fun. Except in traditional war, which would still be allowed.

This also encourages activity, training in clans again, and diplomacy as clans would have to negotiate the war.

Its and idea. You asked for ideas.

#1 - Thank you for listening.

Yes, small clans need to be able to war. Sure a 3v3 is not going to get kills and the excitement of a large war but maybe there is a principal involved or point to be made.

Also, need a way for small clans to join together or join in with a larger clan to participate in a war.

Radical Idea for Reunion....

Go back to game rules from years ago. Get the real retro wild-west feel. Put it on a special '2025 reunion' server and see how may people like the old ways.


And you dont need to worry about the 'forum cleanup' because no one back for a reunion will bother reading 1000 old posts. We will be lucky if they read half of the new posts.

Be excellent to each other. :)

Tbh, qz said something similar to me, essentially that we're all too old to actually put an effort in. To me, those goal posts are extremely odd. If the game was growing at all, it'd be the lazy old farts who should be finding themselves down the barrel of some active young guns. You'd think that would be a better alternative to letting 25 year vets laziness dictate gameplay.


I know all about being too old for actual effort and the benefits of lazy play.

But really the response to old farts playing should be the opposite of ClanGDI. I mean, we have been thru enough sets (years and years of sets) to not really be emotionally attached to the countries. So lets have some randomness and more possibilities for interaction with a smaller playerbase!!! Acknowledge that the players are old, jaded vets who are bored with the GAME but incredibly loyal to the COMMUNITY. Spice the game by enhancing Player and Alliance interaction, not stopping it.
