More specifically I'm talking about earthquakes. I think they may happen too often. I don't feel like earthquakes should happen very often as in real life earthquakes are rare. It seems like ever day I have at least one maybe two earthquakes that destroy ~300 buildings. Is the earthquake intended to go off so often? If so I'd maybe suggest turning it down a little.

its random but yeah sometimes it happens too often.

coz 2012 is near... :(

Definitely happens too often.

16 countries, 50 turns each and each gets 2-3 eqs.

I guess it does happen too often, but perhaps theres a reason for it.

Frikkin aftershocks??? 2 in a row is too many. I don't mind the occasional one. since I know that everyone suffers, but this is ridiculous

At least make the chance of 2 earthquakes within 50 turns be very very remote.

Caffeine.

You shouldn't have created your country on a fault line ;)

there is a 0.17 chance of an earthquake ( 1/6th %); that hardly seems high to me;

you ought to get about 6 earthquakes over a 4000 turn game; +/- of course ;)

some of my ffa-countries have got at least 4 eqs so far.

thanks drinks. i'll consider your sagely advice next set. :-p

my gf is always saying it's my fault so i guess it's hardly surprising that i suffer from excess earthquakes.

quakes are rare? lolwhut?

Marshal in FFA you really noice earthquakes when you lose 2k buildings from it haha.

my biggest losses are bit over 200 buildings due i don't have fat countries.

I'd be curious to see how close it is to that Qz... Is there any way for you to pull the data on earthquakes and see if in application it equals out? I could just be unlucky :p

I'm not even sure if you keep logs about turns and such...

residential tech should curb how earthquakes impact your buildings!

req: we have enough in the news logs to be able to mine it. we've done the same thing for missiles and a few other events which have probabilities in them and every time they seem to show that our intentions are being implemented correctly. when will ppl stop doubting us :( :p

it's cruel fate pang.

it'a cruel fate that affects us us players with your intentions

it's cruel fate that we players will never stop doubting that your intentions have been implemented.

and i'm a techer that had 140%+ res tech

c'est la vie. :-p

just to clarify: res tech does not actually impact earthquakes; i'm just saying that if any tech should, it would be that one :p

buy a lucky charm :p

Pang it's not that we doubt you pang but I was just curious. No sweat off my balls :p

Does Luck bonus increase earthquake chance? Or does it increase every other event chance, but decrease earthquake chance?

I hope you didn't screw that one up. :P

people who whine about earthquakes on the forums experience more earthquakes in their countries

seriously, they do happen a bit much.

today i got 1 on alliance, didn't destroy much (57 buildings, 9 ics and rest labs) but as a techer that sucks, good thing was that i had over 100 acres unbuilt land so in the end my tpt was higher than before eq.

Just because I make a post about it doesn't constitute "whine"... Quit being a whiner slagpit.

since y'all can't be nice about it, this thread is closed. sorry to those who contributed to this and had merit in your requests.. but some people got out of hand (messages deleted).
