Attack and spy DR do not "unwind" as the target country plays turns. Both decay based on time passing. I'll let others answer the other questions.

Up to 100 results will be shown. Results will always exclude ingame allies, countries in protection, countries in vacation, dead countries, and countries out of range. Sort options are land, networth, DR, NW/acre, defense in turrets, and country number. The game will default the search parameters to the last search that was run.

Any feedback?

First you complain that it's missing then you demand that it not always be 0! You people are so demanding.

In that case, wouldn't it be better to have a way to automatically allocate bonus points to a category as they come in? Countries would benefit from reducing their building costs as quickly as possible.

I'd be in favor of a server where only the bots can attack and the human players have to play as the landfarms.

We already have "all-X servers". My understanding of the complaint is that servers get boring when both the explore rate is low and grabbing isn't practical for political or other reasons. I don't view increasing the explore rate as a good way to solve that problem (it arguably makes it even worse).

There are no plans to do this at this time due to game balance concerns and significant coding effort (it's not "just a few lines of html").

I assume by "all-X servers" you mean tourney and team? We don't really want to have "all-X servers". Those playing environments don't sound healthy. I also want to address the bot land inflation that we've seen in Express and Alliance. So there are no plans to make this change at this time, but players who really want higher explore rates can invest in the luck bonus as Tertius said.

I added a forward lookup in the country search results. It only finds the next country, if it exists, and doesn't search recursively.

I assume that this meets the primary need?

I plan to change the "Your country was destroyed because it was deleted for rules violations." message to include information about the suspected rule violation. That should make it more efficient for players to communicate with moderators on their appeal if they feel that the deletion was done in error.

Can you clarify where this feedback is coming from? I don't see any deletions on your game account over the past five years. We already have an ingame appeal workflow built into the game. Players should use that instead of trying to hunt down game mods. Is this not working?

No, allowing deleted countries to show up on final ranks means that a cheater could win even after being deleted. You can view the country owners of dead countries after the round ends by creating the right url: https://www.earthempires.com/express/753/ranks/91

I've added a topbar warning for alpha servers to make it more difficult for players to accidentally ruin their non-alpha countries because they mistakenly thought they were playing on an alpha server. Players who don't like the warning can disable it by changing their game account preferences.

I didn't imply that m0bzta was a jerk. He's played the game as a warrer for a long time and I appreciate that. In general, the only things I have a problem with are rule breakers and people who maliciously chase others out of the game.
