We all love Express and obsessively play it even though certain rules changes seem misguided to us.
Through the years, certain players who like the economy building aspect of the game have managed
to remove many of the war rules which gave Express its original zing.
We are left with a GDI which removes any semblance of a war game. Large countries plunder small countries
which have little or no means to retaliate, but do not engage each other, cashers claim top ten spots having invested
only twenty minutes in game play throughout the week and without ever having made any tactical decisions.
GDI is essentially free with no disadvantage for joining and is de facto mandatory for a top finish.
Spies, tanks, troops and missiles have all been removed from the game.
Express does not have to be this vanilla.
I say restore the original rule set.
Players complain that random malefactors can ruin a good player's set for no reason.
C'est la guerre.
If the mods feel that there must be some protection against random acts of violence, have the humanitarians object to any AB or GS
launched against a player who has not double tapped the launching country. GDI serves it's original purpose and Express is
restored to it's former glory.
Yeah, I bet you like picking on the elderly and torturing small animals too huh??
