Why does mFrost's proposal exempt landgrab DR from being removed? That means qz could go through the work to put in new code, and someone could still run a jetter that gets landgrabbed 50 times and then go off topfeeding. So he's complicating the simple proposal (first retal is totally DR free) while actually offering a more flawed solution...
or we can just simplify the whole thing and do 1:1 retals with no DRs and without breaking GDI
so if a country A hits country B 3 times and country A Has not hit country B 3 times then whatever the difference is between the countries is what is owed in retals
A = 0 -- B= 3 then A gets 3 DR Free retals
A = 1 -- B = 3 Then A gets 2 DR free retals
A = 2 -- B = 3 Then A gets 1 DR free retals
A = 3 -- B = 3 Then no retals either way are owed
A = 4 -- B = 3 Then B is still owed one more DR free retal
Make it so the count is valid across the entire reset, unless someone has a good reason to limit the counts to a 24 hour period.
Downside .. this can potentially be used to trade land .. lesser of 2 evils ?
I am open to suggestions or modifications as needed...
@blid -- I had not considered a country being in heavy DRs due to landgrabs, but then again said country may be attacked or heavily farmed because they are new to the game, and eliminating their DRs may not be the best thing. I do however agree an all jetter or no def country using the LGs made against it to minimize its own land loss over time is an abuse of the mechanics. The question being how do we define such a country, and when do we consider it a true abuse of the mechanics?
75% jets vs. available defense? -- 0 def or when do we consider the def on hand is inadequate... do we create a min def vs land or min def vs networth the latter to take into account low def with high tech numbers. perhaps some hybrid formula to calc a min def needed, before high DR#s are considered abusive? --- This could come with a warning to countries running low def, and help new players understand they are a prime target. It could however penalize netters who would prefer to run with very low defense, the advantage though is this netter cannot abuse their DRs to take advantage of other players. If said netter wants to play it all-x, bot only, or retal only as needed they would be fine, attacking innocent countries would take their advantage away.
just adding some thoughts...
