I'm so bad at netting I'll be asking Darkness to kill me...

Going to miss him, his imaginative country names, and his captivating conversations. Never a dull moment with Whorespower around.

RIP

When I have played to netgain, I actually preferred Teams because the bots in alliance seemed to turn it into a land grabbing competition. I am 100% a novice so there might be other strategies to fight against this.

In terms of war, I think killing a country should be slowed down a bit. Or, as we’re talking specifically about Alliance, more that your alliance could do to help defend you. It would be a major change, but something like the ability to pool defences so an alliance could build some absolute monster war countries to help defend their net gaining countries.

Some in game alliance relation tools would also be cool

Is BH still running around saying no one can talk to Milk while he's asking for NAPs in 1a and not seeing the hypocrisy?

Damn guys, it’s a game. If only you put this much into something else in your life maybe you wouldn’t be getting so worked up over a game!

Yep, we were netting for a few resets. Then a few of us wanted to war so we split into two. The netters got blindsided by Darkness when they suddenly decided they wanted to help Freedom. Anyway, it's all history now.

We recruited new people, improved our war game, and took the fight to Darkness. Good leadership Milk and Leto!

We did, that’s what started this constant war 😂

Some good ideas here.

The "naval siege" bit made me think of blockades and how denying your enemy supplies is a crucial part of warfare. I think an attack type that stopped countries being able to use the public market - or severely slow it down - could be interesting.

I also think kills should be slowed down a lot. I understand that the civilian casualties is a % of population, but it never made sense to me that the number reduces as an army is beaten. I always thought it should be the other way around. Or that civilian casualties are massively reduced while a country has military to protect them so you have to fully break someone before the proper kill run can begin.

Oh yeah, I don't mean people who don't put the time in should be able to win. I just mean that people shouldn't be allowed to be abysmally beat into the ground. If you're a new player, you screw up on something, and a big clan rip you a new one, you're probably going and never coming back. And yes, I get politics is a big part of the game but I think too often 'politics' is used as a way of saying "my friends deserve to win" because a lot of people have played this game for years and you all know each other and know who you like and who you don't. How does a new clan get started? Is it a level playing field if they haven't known you for 10 years? How does the game stop that from discouraging and intimidating new people. And if your answer is just "well that's the way it is" then yes, the game will die

I got beat up pretty bad in both teams and 1a this time round but I'm having fun in teams. That being said, there will be sets where life gets in the way, or I do want to have a play around with netting so I can understand why the constant risk of war or the cycle of being killed can put people off because warring does take a lot of time and energy. How to fix this in a way that keeps everyone happy? Who knows. Try lots of different things. ClanGDI probably isn't the endpoint in 1a but at least it's an attempt to move the game forward (even if you don't see it as successful!)

I'm having fun. It's my first full set of warring on here. Let's just not let it descend into a cesspit of egos

+1 on adding spy ops into clan GDI. This is my first proper set on alliance and I just got half my buildings destroyed. It's really demotivating and just turns the game into a race to cripple first.

War is a big aspect of the game, but it isn't the main aspect. That's why the final rankings are networth and not kills. Clans and countries should have a way of fairly attacking and defending themselves. I do wonder if clan GDI should be less strict on the no attacking at all, and pool military/spies instead - a bit like a massive defensive pact. Like a single attack is a simple country v country, but successive attacks bring in a higher and higher % of the total clan military.

New player to the server here - you know, the type of person this game needs to keep to survive.

Interesting change. Of course the alliance server should have more alliance based features and benefits. Not saying this change will work 100% as intended. But it's good the devs are playing around and trying to improve things.

Give it a go. See how it goes. Have fun and play the damn game

Hi

This thread is a great read

I'm an old FFA Earth 2025 player who's stumbled on Earth Empires while trying to find excuses to ignore work. Started on tournament because of the timing of the recent reset.

I've never played tournament before and it's a bit of a culture shock! Is attacking just not a thing here? And does the market always move this slow?

I was a bit of a warmonger on Earth so I suppose I better learn how to actually gain networth! Anyone got any tips to jog my memory? I'm wondering if I need a mid-game strategy shift...
