Make them played by some AI and let us fight over them. I miss the old days where there were tons of countries to grab. Now there's like 50 untagged countries who are getting farmed to pieces and a bunch of clans all able to retal!

Ok, but they start with maxed warfare tech and are rainbows so they produce their own food, cash and MUs

The maxed warfare tech is that they (all of them) will chem kill anyone that hits them more than 2 times a day :P

Their tag shall be CHEM :)

Haha sounds good. If it's possible to code a more advanced AI it could look for weakness in the grabbers. AB the ones with low on tanks, spy the ones with low spal etc.

j/k


random missile/ab retals by a random # of the untagged countries, with the chance of a reaction greatly increased by multiple untagged countries, so there's some risk involved.

Also, randomise the strats just enough to make it hard to tell what is a AI country, and what is a newbie.

Who me? :) I'm just venting frustration over too few countries to grab. I guess the game's changed now and we all have to adapt. Perhaps we have to start to FS eachother just to later on be able to farm somebody. If people give a war DNH while you farm/kill, you could gain some land, atleast those players who know how to play.

ofc. it is possible to do. I think it would be more of a question of wanting to do it.

Personally I think it would be a good idea. MD had several new recruits this reset who never played the game before. The ones that quit, did so because the game was boring to them. They wanted to grab, but no one to grab, even when we have a pool of 80 countries in SoL/RD to grab.

More countries to grab makes the game more fun, although it is artificially inflating the numbers of course. But yeah it might be needed to let the alliance server grow a bit.

God knows I dislike grabbing now too. I do not wanna wait until the very second a target goes out of DR just so another guy hits it while i hit the target. It is rather boring, and I do not do it that much this set.

And that being said people play the sims a fluffload too, as well as farmville. People just wanna see their country grow and do better, even if it doesn't mean that much. The better players will still be better, but the sucky players will have more sense of accomplishment. And that is what helps the game to grow.

Baseless claims. I mean next you will be trying to tell me that LaF have never run GDI farms that declare war on their premium members. You do understand in LaF that there are the premium members and the minions, right? The premium members (the best netters) get everything served up on a platter for them. The minions like you, well I guess you're just there to help LaF war when needed =)

Real players would still be competing over the land. 1000 countries is obviously too much but a couple of hundred countries would still make us wait for DR to pass etc.

Landgrabbing used to be a crucial skill but from what I see it's pretty much gone now, it's mostly all explorers or those grabbing in wars like MD vs SoL/RD. There are those grabbing clans that can retal just to get away with the building bonus but I don't think the damage makes it worth it compared to exploring.

But then again, perhaps there is a better way to solve this. Hopefully we will get new players from facebook and the app stores in the future anyway.

No your post is fine, I'm referring to the guy who just accused the admins of cheating without proof.

slag, so every EVO member is an admin? last I checked there were only 2 of you,

are you confessing that all of EVO are the 2 admin's multies?

last i checked, no one can control what their members does, but if anyone that studies the news of untags that do retal, it's quite obvious what has been going on in the game,

every set it happens, and every set it's a 'baseless' proof.

i guess EVO are just so lucky that untags don't seem to want to retal them after getting farmed, but loves top feeding alliances that hasn't touched them.

it's not a baseless claim and it's one of the reasons why i'm quitting this game.

EDIT: plus red in color to boot. do i need to make it flash and play a big fat mp3? or maybe i should ask qz/pang for a api alert to hook into boxcar so it can pop up a reminder everytime you wander off to AT land ;)

But the actual new players in some kind of protection, they can get it 1-2 times per day max or something. instead but the landfarms in a special tag that can be farmed. This way actual new players wont get farmed too much and we can still grab.
