Since some alliances are enforcing a 48 hour retal policy and the face that we get more turns than we used to... The PS recovery time should be adjusted accordingly.

yea it should but it won't.

HAHAH

Yes, arbitrary rules alliances make should totally be put into the actual game, because that makes sense.


I would like to see the admins make everything about countries relative to how many turns you get per hour!

Like they aren't gone for 20 hours, they are gone for 60 turns. Market takes 12-18 turns or something

It IS a turn based game no? :-P

How do you think 72 hours to drop land was selected? 24 hours sure seems to make a lot more sense to me but suicider policy is 72 hours =P

this puts the admins in a pickle.

If they do not make any changes to the PS recovery time, which will benefit retallers against netters. after making a dropping of land change that is based on alliance policy and specifically helps the netting alliances against suiciders (oft caused by farming...) then it is clear the game is dead as the admins are bias..

that's what it looks like to me.

mmm no, cause part of PS time is the "once per day" factor; as in,allowing people to sleep

the "daily cycle" and the "turns cycle" have to both be considered; in express we tend to ignore the "daily cycle" a little bit (given it is 4 days), but we like to keep it in mind on other servers.

also admin level changes should not respond to political level changes..

shouldn't but still they do.

if 48hrs retal window comes de facto then retallers will need to have alot jets.

or have more countries with retal capabilities.

everyone is running no defense all explorers makes the game die.

We don't adjust the game to political changes, except where a broader game-balance is concerned. Consider that politics on each server are considerably different, yet we have to consider the rules for all servers (though express is often a somewhat special case in the "daily cycle" vs "turn rate" stuff....)
