not like 36 food is anything to write home about hehe...casher is prob on top..i'm playing techers lol

ford: click the Game Info :-P lol

Yeah, I am totally cheating and mrford doesn't know...


damn

yesterday someone bought the troops that I put on at 146 (by accident, instead of 136)...hehe

but if there were only 16 countries in pistloi and they were deleted for multies...it means someone else was deleted somewhere no?

maybe they self-deleted?

I am too lazy to look...where? who?

YO, roll this fluff out in FFA now PLEASE =)

Our set just started!

just follow where they all went after they detagged :-P

Currently all of my countries are too big for him to hit! Hoping to keep it that way =)

If he tries to kill my landfarms, I'm hitting yours NOW3P :-P

or > 1...use floor!

OH MY fluff trannie!

Hellrush, you dynasty or what?

epic win!

play dict, or play another govt and buy weapons tech

Well, I came up with the idea, but I will also prob have one of the top countries in LaE at any point during the set....just be ready for what happens if you execute my plan on LaE lol

Yeah, I have been around forever as well..>Glad to hear there are SOME new people hehe

I have proof that LaE cheats, starstalker...contact me here:

http://boards.4chan.org/b/

Lies!




Better than nothing!

yeah, sorry, let me rephrase.

Who has started playing earth within the last year...

No offense to the admins or anything, but I don't feel like anyone has :(

not came back, but found the game and started playing?

I feel like everyone here started this game like 5+ years ago hehe....maybe there are more n00bs in the other games...takes commitment to play 16, I guess

oh and for the record, I was not the person in LaE who hit you, as I have not hit anyone this set =)

I don't think he is stupid, I just think he doesn't know the arbitrary policies that alliances have enforced forever....

And as fordie mentioned, those are not my countries. I wouldn't have had a DH :-P Mine are in LaE anyhow hehe

errr, let me correct that:


Aug 01/10 12:39:10 PM BR CTU1 (#488) (CTU) The Fonz (#1061) (Dynasty) Defence Held


After seeing that you are probably already dead...I would start saving turns for the kill runs dynasty is about to do :-P

hmm this is funny!

Someone is totally allowed to retal hits on their own countries if they switch tags (the new tag cannot do the retals tho), but getting a DH clearly ends retals...

Methinks bauer24 should quit while he is ahead before he gets his ass killed :-P

the bottom of bottles

I think every Friday at 4:20 you guys should pick a random clan and kill their top country...just a thought

ah, cool. Nah, I was just curious, because I saw your LGin in the news...kill kemo, he is a lil punk :-P

just curious...

well, I did say 'netting'...that thing you do when you aren' actively killing things :-P

are you guys blind, dumb or both? they already said they will roll out a mobile design...that doesn't mean instantly. go complain about something they haven't already said they will fix or nothing :-P

donkeyboner

You should roll that tpt change out into FFA!

not that I don't appreciate this, because everyone loves suiciding on me, but maybe you guys should go back to 'netting' and see if you can get more than 1 mil avg NW :-P you guys only lost like 2-3 days tops from the FS!

and what might that alliance be? ;)

you have forced a cultural revolution in your land, you have lost all of your technology and 3% of your population

:(

If I login through the portal on mac safari, I can never actually get to my FFA countries, clicking on the FFA button just brings me to earthempires.com instead of ffa.earthempires.com/mainffa, it is weird. Firefox on mac, no problem. I also have chrome and opera, I think it works on both of these too, I can check if you want...

yeah, I realize I am being really anal here!

I agree we will see how the set unfolds...this actually doesn't harm the FFA self-farmer (llaaring so to speak), because there is a strategy that avoids the squaring of the ghost DRs (they still decrease to 0 quickly, but if you keep yourself out of normal DR than you just get the normal decline), it only really fluffs over bottom feeders who will get less ghost acres after 2-3 hits. So if we thought ghost acres were just WAY too big to begin with, I guess this is the correct move, but if we just wanted to prevent llaaring then I think we are punishing people who hit a country after it has been hit more than 3-4 times in 24 hours and my rules wouldn't :-P


WALL OF TEXT!

I am saying that once I login and receive the bonuses...I can logout, log back in, do whatever...in my country it says 126(2), on the war page it says 120(8)...really not a problem tho, just a little odd

Yes, that is what I am suggestin, qz.

I think the real problem in FFA was that you could endlessly get new ghost acres by getting yourself out of DR, not that ghost acres were too large. With the current settings the DR on ghost acres now is not only irreducible but grows squared proportionally to normal DR. Just seems like overkill to me =)

Hey guys, I have been thinking about the new ghost acres formulas you rolled out, and I think that there is a middle ground between getting rid of the problems we had in FFA and getting rid of ghost acres after about 1 to 2 hits per 24 hrs.

The current rules are stated as thus:

13 hits in a row under the old system:
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.8 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.8 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.5 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.5 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.35 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.35 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.15 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.15 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.15 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.10 * (base acres + ghost acres)


13 hits in a row under the new system:
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.8 * (base acres + 0.8 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.8 * (base acres + 0.8 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.5 * (base acres + 0.5 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.5 * (base acres + 0.5 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.35 * (base acres + 0.35 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.35 * (base acres + 0.35 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.15 * (base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.15 * (base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.15 * (base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 0.10 * (base acres + 0.0 * ghost acres)


13 hits in a row under the old system where the attacker and defender take turns grabbing each other to cancel out the DR:
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + ghost acres)


13 hits in a row under the new system where the attacker and defender take turns grabbing each other to cancel out the DR:
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.8 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.8 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.5 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.5 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.35 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.35 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres)
acres gained = 1.0 * (base acres + 0.0 * ghost acres)

I suggest these formulas:

13 hits in a row under the my system:
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.8 * base acres + 0.8 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.8 * base acres + 0.8 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.5 * base acres + 0.5 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.5 * base acres + 0.5 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.35 * base acres + 0.35 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.35 * base acres + 0.35 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.15 * base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.15 * base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.15 * base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres
acres gained = 0.10 * base acres + 0.0 * ghost acres

13 hits in a row under the new system where the attacker and defender take turns grabbing each other to cancel out the DR:
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 1.0 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.8 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.8 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.5 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.5 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.35 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.35 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.15 * ghost acres
acres gained = 1.0 * base acres + 0.0 * ghost acres

This keeps the new addition where you cannot reduce the DR of ghost acres, but it doesn't have the squaring on the reduction of ghost acres after several hits. I do not se why the DR of ghost acres should be:

1
1
1
.64
.64
.25
.25
.1225
.1225
.02245
.02245
0
0
....


when normal DR is just:

1.0
1.0
1.0
0.8
0.8
0.5
0.5
0.35
0.35
0.15
0.15
0.15
0.10

Thanks for your consideration

my name would imply that i am, but .... not

First of all, thanks so much for adding this. I know I asked a few times, and I am glad to see it made its way in.

It is a REALLY minor bug, but I figured I should tell you guys.

Today I had 120(2), and I logged in (after 18+ hrs) to get 126(2)..Even after logging in multiple times the war page would only display 120(8)...I am not sure if you are displaying like:

Turns % 120 (Turns - (Turns % 120)) or something, but it is showing up a bit odd, when you get your bonus, don't use it, and log out.

not gonna read this thread, but I will come clean....

sometimes I touch myself

I think they should remain tagged! =)

HAHA, you 2 bil bugged your troops :-P!!!!!!

So this has happened to me twice since this post was made. I think the simplest solution is for some amount of time (I think 72 hrs), a self-deleted country should be able to be attacked by anyone. I think clans can figure out whether or not if you attack a self-deleted country in their tag it is retallable.

haha, prob a good guess =)
