Especially now with such high building costs, something as random as an earthquake late on can determine who wins and who loses if countries are close enough
I do agree that it is a rather boring server with so little players though, but it has its appeal in that there are no alliances and its the only solo server without GDI. If only there were more players...
Fully agree with blid. The changes dont improve primary. Fixing spy ops and leeching of tech and offense will help. These changes dont address any of that - but instead kill some elements of the game that work.
And for those who think the current top players in primary dont want these changes because it weakens them is delusional - the same players will still dominate the top spots regardless of the changes.
I would like to hear a concrete argument from the mods why these changes are best for primary. If its a rational argument that makes sense, im sure stating it would help us understand and accept it.
1m short of 150m. Oh man - all my stupid mistakes catching me just short. I'm too tired and hung over to wait out till the set officially ends- good luck guys.
Haha oldman, looks like i took away your best average nw record in what seems like the last possible round for big scores - now its gonna be really tough for you to take it back :P
Thanks!
Tech was expensive, and i lost 20 turns or so to overflow early on - but besides that i had a close to ideal set, so luck was really on my side.
And i just want to point out, never play a non-demo techer in primary. In fact i think the best advice would be to not play techer at all in primary :p
I can't really comment as ive only played a Theo techer in primary. For a non-demo i think the answer is obvious.
A point to add - if food is cheap, people might decide to stock earlier which means the demand for tech will be lower as people have lower land sizes. When food is expensive, its better to keep growing, which means they need more tech. So i would assume this will affect how tech prices are in the first place.
Pardon my ignorance, but do your allies spies work the same as your spies? Meaning your total SPAL would be your spies + your allies spies over your land vs the same for others?
The only changes are... not the really needed ones but the unnecessary ones
I really appreciate what the guys running this free game have done for us all, as i love this game, but does any other server besides alliance matter anymore to the guys running the show?
Still no word on if the changes are rolling over.
Has anyone highlighted about this thread to the people in charge? Who are the people who make these decisions anyway?
It would be great if there is some acknowledgement from the people making the decisions that the issues highlighted here are recognized, and that Primary will not be with the the newly rolled out alliance rules next set.
I think this is a tricky situation. What happens if someone puts you in DR - are you not allowed to attack after that? Should you still carry lots of defence for no purpose? What military does one carry then - if its jets, then any grab i make will be a big hit due to networth wouldnt it? Even if one only bottomfeeds, the targets dont have a chance to retal do they?
The only way to fix it is as mentioned above - DRs dont apply for retals.
