People like to count hits and judge solely on that. I look at it different. I triple tap someone for 1500 acres and they lose maybe 800 acres. On their 7k-8k acres they can explore it all back in a day. I'm leading the server in land lost, not any of the guys I farmed, lol.

I would actually like to see more land on the server. More ghost acres =)

That's at least fair then. I still think we should encourage people to read server details because it clearly states humanitarian range. They should also learn how to get 25% of my nw. I only do that strategy on rainbows because their growth potential is so clear.

You would still be creating a situation where the smaller guys can ignore humanitarians while the bigger one can't though.

Ex.
I farm someone and jump out of range. Now they can hit me for 48 hours without me being able to hit back? It would have to restart the timer every time they hit me too.

I'm for no allies on solo servers. I still talk to my friends in game whether we're allied or not. Having good allies can be a big advantage for sure which has nothing to do with the solo player's skill. It also makes people think they can fight on behalf of their allies which isn't allowed on a solo server.

Doesn't seem fair to me that one party can declare war to avoid humanitarians, but the other party can't.

Could I declare war then?

The more I farm the same country, the less I get, but they lose more. I start out getting 300 acres while they lose 150. After farming them I get about 230 while they lose 220. I'm not really sure why taking away ghost acres while causing the defender to lose more is good here.

Breaking gdi shouldn't expire, you just need to select targets better. Best to not hit efficient countries, especially for 100 acres.

Topfeeding will be a thing of the past once the 10% rule is added. Why should the player putting minimal effort in have the advantage on all players above them in land? I could run a 5k acre tyr tech, stock, and triple my land in one hit. It's not an efficient way to run my country, just a way to screw someone else for a laugh.

If you're getting farmed you're doing everything wrong. Not sure why anyone wants to encourage that. You can keep running a rainbow as long as you have warfare tech. Now you'll only get multi tapped if someone uses humanitarian range to their advantage. To avoid that you'll have to strategize.

I don't think the idea of letting people who get farmed turn off humanitarian range is good either. They may get some satisfaction of hitting the bigger guy(probably not causing much damage), but now they're the big guy's personal farm. At least now they get hit and don't see them for the rest of the set.

You could try something like 4 available brigades every 3 hours. I'll try to adapt to whatever though, no big deal to me.

Great job molotov. I also like how these changes are working =)

Fyi, It's an 8 hour half life here.

You can also have 720 turns stored which is 40% of the set. You could stockpile your turns until your stocking phase.

20 minutes is 5 turns. It takes 10 on most govts to do 5 attacks.

Yeah, I was thinking of alliance and ffa. You're right.

I've ran fat rep cashers the past 2 sets. It's forced me to incorporate ss attacks. The 2 hour ps really just gave an advantage to extreme levels of activity. 4 hours falls in line with other servers ps length per turn.

I too thought my allies were deleted for a split second. I think it's the most awesome super cool color there is slagpit!

Thanks, and agree about laf. Gerdler's an asshole though, lol. In all seriousness though, that's a crazy finish from him after spending a few days warring early. He knew he would have to take risks to catch up, and he pulled it off. I should've stuck to my hybrid plan, but I didn't realize I could've sold oil at $350 and got enough military tech.

Lol

I had 5 in a 30 turn span not long ago, haha. Luckily it was very early in the set and they averaged only 20-30 buildings each.

No dr would be something, lol. Killing someone and benefitting from it! Gdi can't save you either. Definitely only like it on a changing rules server though, haha.

I have no objections to either 1 more day or starting with a days worth of turns.

The seasonal leaderboard is a great idea too.

I really don't like having to keep non-strat buildings just for grabbing on any server. It's just that when bots are available to hit you can get land non-stop which makes running a rainbow not a big deal.

Seems like the main difference is in grabbing. Not a big fan of having to run a bit of a rainbow to maximize my gains, but I am a fan of capping grabs to 10% of the attackers land.

They knew I would come to their town!

No, koh wouldn't triple tap me =P

=)

Lol, he's a real glutton for punishment.

Thanks for your work slagpit =)

LOL

Well son of a fluff

Well that explains it. I never knew there was a bonus boost to fascist! I could've swore it changed in the middle of the set on me before, guess I remembered wrong. That also explains why my building reduction bonus dropped from 94.5% to 49.5% on my conversion. I couldn't figure out why I lost more than 39%, haha.

The bonuses change alot across different servers. They usually correct themselves within a week or 2, but sometimes stay wrong all set.

For example, last set here expenses were .9% per 8 points all set. Should've been .8%.

So that was you who finished off my kr! Thx, lol.

You pay expenses on them until they sell. You don't lose food from them while on the market though.

It definitely seems totally random in that 0-4% range. I think there is something in there to protect your cs already though because I rarely lose any.

I should also point out I'm against all random events so that includes booms(unless you use bonus points for them because then it's not random). Having the option to use bonus points to reduce earthquake damage at least gives you another option though =)

What about gdi LB? Lol

Take care kryptic, hope you return! Looks like there's an opening for a top guy to play techer now....

Sure, but then you couldn't have been so bold, hehe.

Indy or rep casher. I'll wait to see how the others go.

Very well played lightbringer.

420 is probably the most laid back alliance.

I agree. War is fun too, but I'm still netting imo. I always thought the best netter has the most potential to also be the best at war.

My question would be, why are there rankings if netting isn't the goal? Even in war, how do you decide the winner? The one with a higher nw wins. My goal is 1st. If I get into a war, my goal is to still to get as much nw as possible.

Serp, ponti, getafix, assassin, relax, ugo. Those are good players off the top of my head who left since I came back ~15 months ago. There were 93 countries over 1m nw the first set I came back. There's 75 over 1m now, maybe 77 by set end.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't trigger off the portal either. I don't know if there is certain ways to trigger it outside of logging into a country, but I thought the same thing brigg said.

NitelL still edged me out after taking those hits! Well played. Really nice nw from slag too considering that he was farmer with terrible prices.

I forgot gdi twice and same thing happened to me both times. It's not someone at the top, just a guy who plays simply to ruin the best non-gdi country. You should give it another go next set, but remember to join gdi. Save 16 bonus points and get free gdi. Read the description about gdi as well.
