A Summit of Birds and Elephants Ellie strolled around the Savannah when she spotted an eagle surveying the land for prey. Ellie trumpeted at the skies and the eagle swooshed down to sit on Ellie's back. "Hey there, I'm Zah! Who are you?" "I'm Ellie. Just Ellie." "Just Ellie? You have nothing else going on?" "No..." "Join me for tea over there," Zah said, pointing towards a small forest on the horizon. Ellie nodded and headed straight for it. Not long after, they arrived and Zah pulled out two flagpoles from behind a tree and stuck them in the ground. "Got a flag?" he asked. "Sure," Ellie said and whipped out a flag showing a black tree on red. Zah pulled out his own flag of a purple portal with his image layed on top and pulled up the flags, letting the wind take care of the rest. Then he conjured up a table, two chairs and a tea set out of thin air and began to speak: The United Empire of Zah'Aharon and the Commonwealth agree to the following terms: Article I: The Commonwealth and The United Empire of Zah'Aharon agree to come to the aid of one another in the event of the other signatory coming under attack. The treaty is non-chaining. Article II: Both signatories consent to share all intelligence that affects the security of either signatory as soon as possible.

Don't worry TCW, we can still protect you for a week while you continue searching for good allies

I was going to avoid this thread, because I saw it coming. I’m looking forward to seeing what you two alliances do. With that said, let’s knock out some of the statements made. >1-14 is irrelevant False. 10+ is still relevant. A active core of 1-9 could effectively kill off the low tier growth and recruitment in a war too, thereby stifling an alliance that relies on mass recruiting to an extent but that’s admittedly a stretch of a claim. >We should base our metric on economies I partially agree with this, but keep in mind two things: Number of Nations and overall city count can overcome larger nation alliances. I’m willing to bet BK has a much stronger econ than Grumpy, for example. >lolololol is Pantheon more powerful than Rose/etc???? You’re dumb.

Ayy lmao, BK bois and alumni in the house, squad up

Narrative? Lol. I'm simply showing the numbers and tiers by spheres, fresh after these new treaties. The chart also shows tiers, but here is a more exact look. Like it or not, this move has again made you the biggest sphere in the game. Not sure where did spoiler tags go, used to be an option on the forums. Here's a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/C5P395Du Feel free to correct me.

You are literally the worst fricking public face of an alliance. This thread is proof. You are taking the most absurdly defensive stance in reaction to a graph that shows the breakdown of nations by tiering, with only one comment which is an abbreviated methodology. Literally any life-form with 2 brain cells to rub together could have engaged with that information in a more rational manner. frick man. I just defended fricking Kastor.

Weak trolling, really. Both the graph and the table I posted clearly show tiers, and that was the point of my post. Thank you for avoiding my questions, by the way. I've asked them in good faith, I have no narrative to push here, but you chose to ignore them and instead start a weak troll campaign. I'll take it as no objections to the alliances I listed in sphere tierings, which only further backups the numbers I've posted on the previous page. Congratulations on new treaties and good luck with your new allies.

~~ Top 60 or so

Glad to be working with everyone! Hope this is the start of something great!

In few months half of the 1-13 tier will be in the 14-16 range, this is why it's important In war the difference between a 5 cities nation and a 10 cities nation is huge, a competent 10 cities can keep busy three 5 cities nations, but the difference between a 25 cities and a 20 cities is way smaller, 30 vs 35 is even smaller If you can dominate the 1-10 range you can use them to kill the 11-13 range and dominate that too, it's a chain reaction, and you can create a safe space for you damaged nations to recover, then it's just a matter of time until you bring down everyone, we saw that in the last world war And even if there are few huge whales you can't hit the war is won anyway So the current powers based on that graph are: BK&CO >> NPOTS >>>Chaos=KETOG>>Rose>Pantheon (just talking about numbers, competence is another thing)

@Sphinx mew

Whaliens?

That's me Julian! I'm back and I'm black (knights)!

Glad this got signed two great friends of mine. Thanos i said you're the size of a whale, not sign whales, sometimes we need better communication.

I am not sure if it's right place if it's not please move it somewhere else. Prepare for bad grammar and complains. My main issue about this game is that too much relaying on community. Every interesting things which are happening currently in game it's up to players. This game is so dull rn that only community keeps it alive. It is sad that game doesn't make any significant progress. There is nothing to do in game rn. No interesting addition to nations or alliances like researches to get bonuses, something like that. Maybe new military unit to make next war more interesting? Idk Why not make something which force alliances to fight more often over some bonuses or sth. People don't fight too often because they don't have reason to burn pixels. How many times we can fight just for lolz or grudges? And maybe some small change from time to time in war mechanic to make every war more interesting? I don't expect huge changes but this game should be interesting itself. Right now, only community keeps me in this game. I really force myself to log in game. I spend more time at discord... Tell me what you think. I am old player not the oldest but totally bored with lack of new interesting content. And yeah I am free to play player so I am not feeling comfortable to criticise it but well...I don't see reason to support this game when I see such stagnation. I only support games which have constant progress. I am tired of trying entertain myself. I did many stupid things but I am feeling burnt out. Ehhh... I expect interesting new things in game. I saw pretty nice ideas in suggestions at forum from members and seems to be mostly ignored.

When an april fools joke needs to become a reality.

You make your own fun in these things. When the game gets dull, I return to my family's farm and like farm for a few months. It ain't much, but it's honest work.

There’s a huge difference between Typhon/Pantheon and NPO/BK (when the two of you had a strong 10-14 consolidation). That difference is the organization. Typhon can be annoying to deal with, but Pantheon is beyond help really. Whereas BK and NPO showed the threat of a strong organized low tier setting with their organization. I’ll agree though, if Typhon or Pantheon had a really good active gov to organize things - I’d have considered approaching them myself. —————— My side didn’t imply anything other than initially showing an image of where the tiering laid. It wasn’t until some knee jerk reactions occurred that turned this thread into what it is now.

I like buying resources from my friends but it would be easier for me if I could just make a trade treaty with a nation which could work every turn(or day change to be less overwhelming for server), money and resources would be transfer to each other. For example I lose -5k food per day so I could just make an treaty to cover it up.

And therefore I have not said the most powerful, I'd say you share that title with NPOTS. Is that not the very definition of a sphere? Which of the alliances I wrote down under your column would you say are not your sphere? 90% is either directly tied to you, or an M partner of your M ally.

I was at work today and was having a typical day. My coworkers were all laughing at my witty banter and the women could not stop admiring my muscles as I furiously typed away. I was working hard on making sure The Land of Simple was in tip top shape while my boss was not at his desk. But then one of my colleagues politely asked me “What is that war and politics shit I always see you on?” I eloquently replied “Oh haha… It’s uh… like an online game...” “I think I’ve heard of that,” he said. “No you haven’t,” I assured him. My colleague is a fan of strategy games like Civilization so seeing a chance to bring glory to TKR I suggested he check the game out. He then went and looked up “war and politics” and quickly found the site (great job on the SEO Alex). However, when he saw the main page he simply laughed. This was what the front page looks like: He described it as looking like a “Wikipedia-ass game”. Now, while I think this page is this most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, I can understand why some may be hesitant to sign up. Alex, recently you made an April Fools joke about updating the game’s UI. Are there any legitimate plans to do this? I believe if the site looked a little less “Wikipedia-ass gameish” the game would be more attractive to potential players. Just an idea. Yours Forever, Smith

Congrats to you all. Best of luck!

ayy lmao, this brings back memories.

Chappie is that you ??

Neat! Good luck to both.

Congrats guys!

Getting entertainment in a game like this will always require some effort, can’t really expect it to be exciting unless you’re doing something.

I propose the fight lottery, every week two players from every score range are selected random and they have to fight a 1 vs 1 where no one else can interfere, they can't avoid the fight You can expand the thing to 2 players and 3 players teams, maybe adding prizes for the winner

It's name is N$O, the New $yndicate Order. We have a flag and everything:

So basically, KT man bad?

Honestly, it was a pretty bad April Fool's joke as the intent comes off as saying you won't make a major change to improve the marketability of the game. The UI and app should super high priority if you want to get more players The whole browser game veterans crutch is something you can't rely on forever. The fact that the article was posted 4 days before April 1st was even worse. So yeah I agree with Smith.

Please mass-downvote this thread

I guess I know who KETOG is rolling first. Unrelated: The fact is BK now has the biggest spheres in direct ties and indirect ties. Trying to troll or ignore out of it isn't going to change anything. Facts don't care about your feelings.

congrats

I hate to admit but you are absolutely right......... Like only thing that connecting me with current game is bunch of old friends i like to hangout with..... there has to be some major changes in the gameplay and stuffs..... litreally nothing changed in last what 3-4 years apart from one minor war mechanics shift...... it's nice that we have lots of good FA minded people to make things interesting but I guess its high time that more updates comes our way...... I dont think we are yet in a point of no return for this game but we are approaching it no doubt about that.

Well written, and it's giving me new hope in the land of stagnant alliances. HYPE VALUE

oof

I'm literally cringing right now, "normal price". There is no normal price on resources. Take oil and gas for instance, in real life, as much as people want to believe their is a "normal price" and manipulate things to try and achieve that "normal price", fact is there is no normal price. The price is what the price is and no matter what you do the market will decide. The second you try and manipulate the market by trying to buy up the offers and increase the price, everyone will flood the market with offers to try and sell for that price and guess what? The price will fall back or even further than before. This is basic economics folks. Accept the market for what it is.

@Will Grab a history and geography book before you swagger with your US highschool NPC knowledge.

We need a couple more threads about prices being too bad.

I knew that this day would come, Res been far too entertaining in the past to never raise it's head again :D
