Somebody you will have somebody ABing you even if you never attacked him.
It can happen...
But anyway, personnally I don't attack more than once in a row the same guy.
Nice.
Little problem I think: we don't see all previous countries in the servers previous countries list. I see it for me but not for others even the didn't set the privacy.
I have no point and its not against SOL people as individuals (I am from LAF).
I just explain why LAF had only 26 countries at the first FS and why SOL had more: it's because LAF members, in average, are more experienced than SOL members.
LAF is full of experienced players, meaning these players have a life ouside earth (job, familly). So not all players players can participate to War chats of wake up in the middle of the night because they received an automated SMS.
Good job. Just one thing, the bonus link is not available if you don't log to one server. Sometimes I don't want to log to any server (to get the 18hours/6turns bonus) and I want to get the vote/bonus.
I played all (6) tournament resets and finished:
1st : 8 (game A)
2nd: 4 (game A)
3rd: 5 (game A)
4th: 4 (game A)
5th: 43 (game B, started may be 2 weeks late)
6th: 4 (game B)
Needed to verify this is not a multi.
After that, this kind of guy always exist, this not a reason to quit the game. I had the same last reset I played in primary, I just spent the end of the reset killing him. He deleted after some days when he saw he lost. At least he didn't ruin other countries.
I can sell my bushels at 34 on private market,
and my military tech is at 95%. Is it something new in tournament ?
Will it be the same for other servers ?
Really interesting idea, that would create a completly different game.
I would suggest to make it "more realistic":
We have the Land Pool of example 15000/country.
Make the exploration rate fixed, but everybody is allowed to explore 15000 acres (at the start of the reset the Land pool will be only 100/country)
And no ghost acres if we have the pool.
In the past (many years ago) I used to play demo and it was really a good govt (may be the best).
Since I restart playing (4 months ago), I tried to play demo but couldn't really succeed. The problem is that a demo needs to use it's max tech advantage, but in the past tech prices were around 2000 average and now it's may be 4000.
I think with current tech prices we can have 1 more advantage for demo: it would need less tech points to reach the same tech level.
