Earlier tonight during Thalmor Radio, @KiWilliam brought up frick, Kill, Marry. I decided to turn it into a P&W-themed game based around alliances. Thus, Merge, Ally, Blitz was born. It's essentially the same as frick, Kill, Marry. Somebody names off 3 different alliances, and another person lists which of those alliance that would merge with, ally with, and blitz against. Players are free to approach their answers however they like. They can answer as individuals or as if they're representing their alliance's FA. Also, feel free to include past alliances (like Lordaeron), or different time periods of alliances (Old TEst vs New TEst, Old BK vs New BK, 2017 KT vs 2019 KT, etc) I'll provide an example: Merge, ally, blitz - Pantheon, Grumpy Old Bastards, Terminus Est (Current) Merge with Grumpy Old Bastards, ally with Terminus Est (Current), blitz Pantheon. Here's the next 3 for the next poster to respond to: Teutonic Order, Pantheon, Aurora

Aircraft casualties from these GA's are also not listed on the war timeline, or statistics. Also... https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=656061 Nice update @Alex. Totes not half baked.

It's becoming quite clear to me that absolutely none of these changes were tested and simulated as to how they would take affect. The carelessness with just going in and manipulating a few values in the coding and slapping the branding of an "game fixing update" is absurd. Had these changes actually been tested, I pray that they would never have been considered. Just to bring attention to some of the issues uncovered thus far: > Air Superiority doesn't affect tanks effectiveness against aircraft (tanks against aircraft, sounds crazy even saying that in a sentence). > The kill rates have been nerfed but casualties haven't. The kill ratios in an immense triumph ground attack are literally 1:1. > It's virtually impossible to zero a nation with three fully maxed nations slotting them. > With no changes to resource use in attacks by units and no change to inflicted casualties but yet a massive nerf to kills, you often will net negative in any IT dogfight? It's literally costing more in resources than you can possibly kill because of how much kills have been nerfed. These are just a few, more to come.....

Merge The Fed, Ally The Wei, Blitz AK Next up: Seven Kingdoms, Soup Kitchen, Solar Knights (see what I did there? I’m hilarious 😜)

what a grumpy old bas!@#$

Merge SK, Ally SK, Blitz SK Next Up: Schrute Farms, T&, and Horsemen

Blitz SK, Blitz SK, and Blitz SK again

As mentioned in other threads throughout the years, and even drawn up by Alex, a black market where you can purchase military units would be beneficial to the game. A black market would add new strategies and activities. 1. You can sell units on the black market just like you can any other resource 2. Black market transactions are private, a new spy option would be added so you can uncover who nation's are purchasing from. 3. This would be a sink for resources. Instead of selling raw steel or aluminum sell your planes or tanks that you make with your resources. 4. This would make alliance wars have less warning in the buildup. Instead of taking a few days to build to max military you can purchase max military overnight. 5. In addition, with the new tiering requirements for war with the score changes, allies out of range can support you by selling units rather than actually fighting the war themselves. 6. You cannot buy more than the max you are already allowed to have and the manufacturing rates of units stay the same, if you sell units you lose them and have to remake them to keep your own military strong. Please feel free to add your own additions to this idea or critique what I have said, I might not have thought of everything.

Gods Have Spoken as Amarr Empire has been around for many Centuries yet to enjoy a peaceful life. We serve the Gods of Amarr and shall you try to spy on us, we will use your spies for our personal entertainment. We will unleash the Holy Star to see animals be drained to nothing The Royal Families of Amarr, thanks House Stark for protecting all of our children. Rank 63 as of this post.

I like it but there needs to be a cap on how much can be purchased from the Black Market in a day to avoid super-rich alliances suddenly buying an entire army 20 minutes before a blitz.

Hey you were the dude we were going to roll! good luck tho and can I get unbanned from your discord thanks

for the record all merges with grumpy are denied.

When I get back I promise I'll do some kick-ass sermons. Y'all have my word. Here's me, assuming anyone cares.

Because nobody gets along in this game and Alex doesn't play this game so he is out of touch.

Except that as of right now, air superiority does not limit tanks effectiveness against aircraft, only against other ground. I'm hoping this wasn't the intended set up. @Alex

UID link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/unique/id=207607 Nature of violation: Very similar names between the two nations on this UID, as well as same creation date. Not sure if actually multis or someone who just wanted to start over and remade a nation, but there was no mention of it in our interview with him whilst he was applying to our alliance. Edit: Was sent a screenshot of a conversation between him and another player: Don't know if he's attempting to claim the other nation on his UID is a room mate, but given the names of the two nations are so similar... I don't know about that.

Right now, there's only one "member" level rank for alliances. It'd be nice if we had other presets available- "trainee", "veteran", etc. They don't need to have completely different permissions sets from "member"; they just need to have the different name plates. I'm sure this has been requested before, but I'm bringing it up again.

And just when I was starting to believe 2020 couldn't possibly get any worse.

Max 05:30 - He who reads this status is cured of Covid19.

The past two globals are case example of it not being such. NPOLT I needn't elaborate. Surf's Up largely came down to how NR et all hit. If they had hit the overextended people rather than easy pads, that war would've not gone the way it did. But yes, this is Alex coming up with 50000 different changes that addressed XYZ complaints (many of which were very specific/situational) that he couldn't be fricked to test (as is becoming increasingly apparent to me), either individually or as a bundle, and pushed to go live haphazardly for no good reason other than to claim he's doing something. I suppose that having a huge changelog looks more impressive than having just one or two lines.

I dig the concept, can’t see much room for exploitation that isn’t intended. Would make wars meme, have fun beating this guy that one of your fellow AA members accidentally sold tanks to.

here comes the next hegemony

Merge CotL, ally KT (whoa, that's weird), blitz TFP Lordaeron, Lordran, Assassin Order

And part of the proposed changes that weren't included in this package of hogshit was changing rebuy times or even beige function to offset that in later rounds. But the first strike advantage was crucial to the vitality of the game. It made taking risk and being the aggressor worth doing. But if it conveys no advantage and indeed, hurts you more than then, why the hell bother with it 😛

I should also note that 10 billion doesn't include the aircraft or weaponry that fills up the carrier. I do agree pricing is a bit weird but economics are also unfeasible to enact correctly in this sort of game.

This isn't Nation States. And the UN is just people watching each other with concealed weapons.

Yeah, they’re weird. I’m not going to comment on what they mean, because this isn’t a political discussion thread. But here’s the thing. Alex has already made “Communist Monarchy” an IG option. Somehow, he hasn’t made “Socialist Monarchy” available, even though all the other options (theocracy, dictatorship, republic, and democracy) exist under communist and socialist varieties. Why? I don’t know. But it’s a funny inconsistency, given that “communist monarchy” is a really weird idea (I find it appealing, but that’s for another thread). So if Alex wants some level of consistency, he should make “socialist monarchy” available.

The world assembly is great for law school people who want to practise international law.

Blitz CKD, Ally BK, disband your respective alliance and join BK LMAO Grumpy, Light, Guardian Also Thalmor man good. This is the most popular I've ever been.

Merge Resplendent lmao Ally Camelot Blitz GPA ez af Classic BK, CKD, and Hyperborea (I will judge you for this for all eternity next poster)

As I go through my day People always ask me about Politics & War, It's fantastic. Let me tell you about Politics & War. I do very will with Politics & War. I love Politics & War. no one loves Politics & War more than me, believe me. Politics & War loves me. We're going to have so many Politics and so many Wars you are going to get sick of Politics & War. The Politics & War game just got 10 feet higher, I have the best Politics & War. Trust me.

Max 1:31 - have you ever put on a dress and slapped your grandma with a canoe?

I guess I'm gonna have to refresh after answering this one. Blitz Polaris, merge Rose, and ally SK Next: Resplendent (any version), GPA, or Camelot

Tonight will be an episode featuring @Prefontaine talking about all of the new changes to Orbis. @ 11:15PM EST only on Factory Fresh Media. Also be sure to catch an episode of @Thalmor Radio Premiering right before at 9PM EST. Link: https://discord.gg/DYCN4wp

I don't know if speaking badly of Stalin is a good idea, you just might disappear from the timeline...

No, you don't.

For a limited time, time is now limited! Get time off during your day, days are now only 18 hours! Act fast, offer ends tonight - remember limited time! Tonight's time is different from yesterday and tomorrow night's time due to limited time offer.

I wouldn't say "axe" them, instead, repurpose the assets to create a 'tech tree' of sorts.

As the recent youtuber found out, there's a regular screen that declares the "server" to be "under heavy load". That's not actually very good language to use. It implies that the servers are actually at that point under unusual strain, which communicates "problem" to someone that doesn't already know what that screen truly means. I'm quite certain that he's not alone in his instant conclusion: "That's only going to get worse". This can only result in one thing: Poor player retention. My suggestion, therefore, is simple: Change the wording and/or imagery of the snore screen to communicate a more positive message of activity and progress, rather than a message of problems and strain. "Server under heavy load"? More like "Please wait while your industries produce resources!" along with a .gif of gears grinding or something. First appearances matter. Let's try and be at least a little less casual with how the single most fundamental mechanic is presented.

Alex already suggested this and it failed miserably. I would look at suggestion history before making a suggestion.

Naturally, the guy who was party to losing 1/2 billion to a single raider thinks that this is good.

oh the guy with the most land in the game wanted to make land more important? worlds biggest shocker there.

This is the most mental thing I've ever read. Maybe I'm just not understanding clear but none of this update makes any sense whatsoever. I'm completely fine with a plane nerf, but to nerf planes by literally 50-75% with respect to effectiveness, while also boosting ground units ability to take out up to 43% of a daily buy of aircraft is absolutely ludicrous. The war mechanics were already unbalanced AS IS, and I'm afraid this appears to exacerbate the problem.

Seriously ?

This. I've had lots of issues with my nation until I figured out that some images are restricted to size dimensions and won't resize. Also over 5mb ain't allowed. I use a chromebook to submit my shit so you know it's legit. *drops mic*

haha, hey guys, no need to be passive aggressive. Anyway, the Sa'ar corvettes are f*ckin sweet and lots of nations use them irl so good call?

Thanks retard lol

Hahaha. Thalmor is just covering up for the KT-DV Civil War that happened. Well played if I say so myself.
