The overall theme is to remove restrictions and to give players additional options.


1) Remove SS military loss scaling penalty. Base attacking losses are 16% for attacking countries and 8% for allied help.

2) Reduce base stolen money, bushels, and tech from grabs.

3) Military bases increase PM regen rate based linearly on percent land as MBs up to 2X. For example, 50% MBs gives 1.5X generation.

4) Increase cost of infinite bpt bonus from 8 points to 16 points.

5) Trade pacts return and grant 1 extra daily bonus turn for every 1000 turns played by a trade ally. For example, if one trade ally has played 1999 turns and one trade ally has played 2134 turns then the country allying them both will receive 7+1+2=10 daily bonus turns.

6) Medical tech now also reduces food consumption by population and military units.

7) Warfare tech returns with a starting percentage of 0%. Each missile is worth 500k NW instead of 2500 NW.

8) Weapons tech now increases units sent for the purposes of type 1 ghost acre calculations. Government modifiers continue to not be included.

9) Spy tech now increases money, bushels, and tech gained from grabs.

10) SDI tech returns with the additional effect of increasing maximum daily PSes:
* 0-9.9%: 0 additional PS
* 10-29.9%: 1 additional PS
* 30-49.9%: 2 additional PS
* 50-69.9%: 3 additional PS
* 70-89.9%: 4 additional PS
* 90-98.9%: 5 additional PS

Winning a round means that you've got to be or beat the best casher, best farmer, best indy, and best techer. Techer is equally accessible to all players yet every single top ten techer has been tagged LaF so far. The round one first place finish wasn't luck.

There are a lot of different ways to compare LaF and SKA:

LaF:
1 TNW win
15 top ten finishes
1 first place finish
5 players in top ten "best 3" leaderboard

SKA:
2 TNW wins
3 AVG wins
14 top ten finishes
2 first place finishes
5 players in top ten "best 3" leaderboard

I've never felt like SKA had a locked in win until the final day of each round. I think the tags are closer than you give them credit for. With that said, I welcome healthy competition between tags and hope that players take pride in their tags.

What the fluff? Blackhole himself used the word "terrorism". How the fluff are you this bad faith? I'm closing this thread for the reasons that Pang mentioned.

Dear Coalie,

I respectfully ask that you eject the players from your tag who support cheating and running multies. I will not be respectful or civil towards players who do that. I find it disgusting and shameless that your tag supports multi-runners while you bloviate all over these forums about how much you support the game.

Coalie, I invite you to go to your local coffee shop and inform the manager that you will engage in terrorism until they change their business practices in the way that you want. Let us know how that goes.

You can act as an unpaid defense lawyer for a multi-runner all you like, but that final question makes it extremely clear to me that you're not engaging in good faith.

TAN, I did not make a single forum post for two months. Despite that, a thread threatening terrorism to destroy the game still popped up. Your solution is for the game admins to ignore threats of terrorism? Why can't the solution ever involve the players?

You've got dipfluffs like symbolic (I think he's an alliance leader) sucking off multi runners in this thread and nobody even bats an eye. That's viewed as perfectly normal behavior in this community now and it's a really big problem. It's a way bigger problem than ~3 players getting banned over the past 5 years.

I honestly did not know that you left and I apologize for getting that wrong.

Sick burn bro, did you smirk while typing that? Maybe stick to running fluffty war countries instead of "thinking".

Superfly, I honestly mostly had respect for you over the years because you obviously love playing the game and mostly focus on doing that, even though you sometimes rub people the wrong way and misbehave a bit in Express and on other servers.

My interpretation of your comments in this thread are that the things posted in discord are true (they are not), that they qualify as "trash talk" (they clearly don't), and that the offender should not have been banned (this is a matter of opinion). I don't see how that's defending me?

If I misunderstood what you were saying go ahead and correct me.

EDIT: I now see your recent posts in this thread. I don't know what that's supposed to be, but it's clearly not a defense of me. But in general yeah, I think it's better for players to focus on playing the game on offer instead of committing crimes.

TAN, when I said "wallowing in filth together" I'm referring to the discord chat in which you and others have made literally thousands of negative comments about me. I think that I'm treating you all with a perfectly reasonable level of civility. If anything, I'm being way too nice. It's always the same pattern every time:

1) A player cheats or does something egregiously stupid that's against the game rules
2) The player gets punished, often in a small, inconsequential way
3) The player whines that he is being treated unfairly
4) A group of players believe the whiner without considering evidence or credibility, grab their pitchforks, and over-escalate the issue
5) (OPTIONAL) The group of players eventually admit that they were wrong but then start to complain that the admins didn't address the issue with delicate, flowery prose that would make even a PR professional blush

You do understand the default position held by many players is "I should be able to call the admins a fluff but they must be civil and professional in response at all times"? Do you know how insane that is? I don't give a fluff about professionalism.

Bioterrorism stacks on a target. The odds of a backfire increase based on the number of stacks that the defending country has. You were likely spying a country that already had a large number of stacks.

I need to be civil? Superfly is in this thread DEFENDING those screenshots that you saw from discord. You guys are so far gone that you're completely unreachable.

You already passed judgment and directly accused me of misconduct. Your mind is made up and my words will not reach you. Again, my perspective is really simple to understand. By default, you side with disgraced cheaters over the game admins. How can I possibly have a productive conversation with you when that's the starting point?

As an alliance FA, you already understand that other people in this game are going to attempt to manipulate you to their own ends. Yet when blackhole came into your circlejerk discord chat and started complaining about how unfairly he was treated, I'm sure that you instantly believed everything that he said and felt outraged. Or am I wrong?

People who ran multies this year should generally not be considered to be credible. Evaluating the credibility of an accuser would interfere with the delight you guys take in spreading whatever false and malicious rumors you hear about the game admins so I understand why you don't do it.

I'm sure that Blackhole is telling you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Enjoy wallowing in filth together.

I really don't have much to say to people who think that multi runners are more credible than game admins. Just think about how insane that is. Do you think the old you would approve of the position that you're taking now?

I'm not surprised that someone finally went too far when you guys celebrate, whitewash, and encourage unhinged behavior. You would never attempt the same sort of behaviors in a physical business or even in other online spaces. Take a few minutes to think about how this stuff would look to someone outside of the community. Imagine how it would feel if it was done to you.

Thank you for playing Earth Empires.

The cost for the infinite BPT bonus has been lowered from 24 points to 8 points.

Thank you for playing Earth Empires.

It is not acceptable to do any of the following under any circumstances:

- harassing other players
- threatening other players to prevent reports of rule breaking activity to the game staff
- sending forum private messages that break our rules

We're at the point where repeat offenders will have their game accounts disabled. Such players will no longer be welcome on any Earth Empires property.

The fascist bonus effectiveness bonus will decrease from 15% to 10%. This means that 8 bonus points will grant -1.4% building cost reduction instead of -1.5%.

SS military loss will reduce slower with built acres and now cannot go below 14%:

0 buildings: 98% for both
100k buildings: 68% changes to 70%
200k buildings: 38% changes to 42%
300k+ buildings: 8% changes to 14%

Changed point 3

This is so the round doesn't end on a US holiday and to give myself a little more time to test the new features.

"Earth Empires is a free browser based strategy game where you take control of your nation's military and economy. Command your country's military to attack and defend against your enemies. Execute attack strategies to relieve opponents of their resources and land. Strategically invest in technology to outpace the economies of other countries. Ally with your friends or make new friendships by joining a clan. Conduct military operations, govern your country and build your empire."

There is no secret, hidden game where players use country names, forum posts, forum private messages, discord, or any other means to attack the integrity of the game staff or to attempt to interrupt the game's operations. Any players caught doing this will face severe penalties. As always, we invite players with legitimate concerns to escalate privately with a mod boss or administrator.

"The forums are provided to enhance your enjoyment of the game. Please attempt to keep most discussion friendly and related to the game."

Aphrodite777, feel free to create a new recruitment thread for your alliance if you want to.

LaF didn't ask for the coop server (or if they did it didn't reach my ears).

No, alliances lying about other alliances is part of the game. It would be impossible for the mods to enforce such a rule in most circumstances anyway. With that said, the language used shouldn't be in the form of a personal attack and it shouldn't rise to the level of harassment.

I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain.

"Do not insult other players based on personal characteristics including race, religion, origin, or sexual preference. Trash talk is fine in moderation but it should be focused on a clan or a country instead of a personal attack."

Yes, NPC countries will sometimes have turns on hand. For example, a country may choose not to play turns if there's no food available on the public market.

We didn't make any changes on our side. If the ads make the game unplayable please use an ad blocker or purchase premium status.

You are permanently banned from the discord for calling a game admin a "fluff". If you continue to evade your discord ban then you will be banned from the forum and game as well.

Sharing ops as in the site auto-upload?

Are you asking why the coop server was created?

I don't have a perfect and complete definition on hand, but the most troublesome behavior in my eyes is insulting other players based on personal characteristics including race, religion, origin, or sexual preference.

Ok I messaged him and he replied pretty quick. He only said the following: "don't care".

I wonder what he meant by that.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll be sure to scold him for daring to hit the country of the mighty Suicidal.

We are all in awe of your legendary prowess.

You act as if falsifiable and verifiable facts are something that are a matter of opinion. They are not: https://imgur.com/a/k3zc2aK

What do you think he was passing on? A chili recipe?

Spin Coalie spin, dance dance dance!

We told SOL that we'd be open to a ceasefire and they responded by killing the country that sent the offer. SOL is choosing to continue the war, not us. Perhaps their arranged war isn't as important as you think?

I don't think that 5 days is enough to tag up, establish pacts, and so on? The round would be over before alliances were fully established?

I'd be willing to do a PCI killing missile.

True. I suppose it's better to talk about in terms of daily turn storage. Express can store 2 days of turns. Coop could store around 8 under the new rules.

(Hessman let me know if you want me to delete this)

Hessman messaged me a while ago asking to be taken off military sanctions because he wanted to try to win Primary. Honestly, at the time I wasn't sure if I should believe him. Glad to be proven wrong. Congrats!

I know that this is a joke but I'd actually be willing to do this on OCCASION without the video part.
