RIP COTL Can't beat Pantheon's war record /s please kick in their teeth @cotl

Godspeed you crazy bastards.

After an attack Cotl executed an attack on a protectorate of pantheons we countered and they countered the counter, and then countered some more. And after that they thought they could just walk on us but to their surprise we had a back bone, they didn't their way and now they are throwing a tantrum. If it is war they want it is a war they get.

Nation link : https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=213108 Leader name : Leo Celt Nature of Violation : Personal insults and defamation on his nation name and description towards me.

First off, you're in no position tell CotL or anybody else what a CB is or isn't. Piss off with that. Second, Pantheon is the one declaring war and escalating things, not the Children.

Which one of your leaders is cheating? Just make it obvious so that when ya'll are banned it's simple 🤷‍♂️

So.... How is CoLT Cheating the game? Because everyone who ends up Fighting Pantheon has some sort of scandal. That's how they win.

where'd it go?

In Pantheon time that's only 5 minutes.

I have no sympathy for Pantheon, but isn't this a standard thing–to counter for an attack on anyone on an AA? That's always been our policy too. Since Nova, there's no doubt they deserve this from my view, but I'm iffy on setting the precedent of escalating from what could be considered a valid counter. Anyways, blood for the blood god! Have fun burning the pixels. I'm jelly :3

Godspeed CotL you had a good run. Though the light may go out, the Bald shall forever be in our hearts. Praise be. good luck CotL o7

Nothing like countering a raid on a week-inactive noob, 3 days after it first happened, refusing to communicate with the alliance you're countering, and then declaring war on them. Have fun!

Lmfao it was a good run CotL

I personally don't think ground units need to take any additional casualties from any source other than planes versus tanks. All these buffs to killing soldiers seems like it would disproportionately harm raiders and literally do nothing to the overall war system for everyone else. Ships probably need more than a 10% bump, they are incredibly bad right now. My navy can't hit another boat to save their lives. Otherwise the big numbers in this post like 40% boost to planes vs tanks or 40% reduction in planes vs tanks should probably be toned down. 40% nerfs/buffs usually just lead to a correction down the line... again. New Project name: Manifest Destiny. We've run a lot of scenarios on the dev team with spy casualties specifically. The spy satellite has been a massive thorn in the side of the discussion on how to balance them. The tl;dr is that even without the spy satellite, spy v. spy attacks can either completely zero or near-zero an enemy's spy count in a single day change. As I'm sure everyone knows. The spy satellite can effectively make it so you can lose your entire (effective or literal) spy count in a single barrage of attacks. The whole mechanic is wildly broken. That being said, I think most of us agree that spy satellites should simply be refunded for those who bought it. As it is a very expensive project and those who bought it did so under the impression it was stupidly OP.

When I've logged in twice now I've gotten a bug that displays that I have over 300+ Notifications and 800+ trades, when I click there is nothing. I disregarded it the first time and this time I did as well and totally forgot to get a screenshot. I will try to replicate, but I'm posting to see if anyone else has had this problem?

Hey, that's new! --- Couple things to go over! First, I've created a special text channel in Factory Fresh Media (now Thalmoria) for the Thalmoria community to shitpost and cry in during the US presidential debate tonight (that starts in two and a half hours from now). All are welcome, and civility is not required. Second, I've spoken to Underlord and he intends to come on as a guest this Friday. His work may screw that up, but that's where things stand now. Lastly, Factory Fresh Media is now Thalmoria. I was given ownership of the Discord a few weeks ago and converted it to a mind cult to feed my ego. It's being developed as a news server that's anchored by Thalmor Radio. Zig, Borg, and Arctic are all on staff. Nothing about the show changes. One thing about Thalmoria is that advertising is open and encouraged. If you run a bank, do graphics or programming work, or do any other kind of service, message me for a quote. For anything else, also message me for a quote. I will not run ads for alliance recruitment and those will be immediately rejected. I've also archived the text channels of old shows, kicked about 300 people, reorganized channels, created rules, and probably did a few other things. There's some leftovers to take care of but there's no urgency. We run on Valve time. Come on out tonight to melt your brain at the absolute state of US politics, and come on out Friday to Thalmor Radio! Thalmor Radio is P&W's only weekly radio show! Hosted by myself, co-hosted by Shifty, and live each Friday at 9 PM EST in Thalmoria, we talk about our lives and thoughts, go over the P&W news of the week, and try to have interesting conversations with guests (many times failing). Invite: https://discord.gg/rcnJYAv Thalmor Radio theme:

Pantheon has the moral high ground in this, except for the part where they still exist and claim to provide protection to anyone, but yeah aside from that they have the moral high ground.

Pantheon has no allies, so no.

Ah, the biannual reminder that Pantheon, somehow, still exists. If nothing else, I suppose I respect your tenacity. Godspeed. (ha)

Polling thread closed, 10% increase from bombing soldiers has been removed from the OP. The vote was about 55% yes 45% no with 93 votes. This thread will stay open til Sunday/Monday before I push it over to Alex for final approval and to move forward to the coding phase of things.

War. War never... <KKHHHssssssssshhhhhhrrrrrZZZZZKK> The robots will... <Vvvywwvwwywwyvyywvyyyyisht> Hmmm. Not sure this really warrants all the fuss, but I don't really have anything better to do on this early Autumn Thursday afternoon.

Gee this one will be highly entertaining.... Have fun, y'all. Can't imagine it will last too long.

Surprised? I repeatedly stated I was happy to escalate if you wanted to. Glad to finally have confirmation.

If I was Pantheon (thankfully I am not) I would've simply countered earlier 😛

O7 to CoTL. Nice knowing you

I'm not entirely against this, because it would be nice for people to get more cities. But did rather it be through more urban planning projects lol

I don't think it will be fun. New players already have the thrill of adding cities quickly. Older players still need to buy something. I like loading my project slots with cheap econ ones then scrapping them for the expensive ones. That's going to be a hell of a punishment if I have all these rss projects I don't use and then want to buy ACP. The strategy angle isn't worth the loss of fun. It's just more calculators, more buttons to press in a specific order. It's hard enough to remember the project timer and clicking it in traffic, getting snored at 8.00 am, setting a reminder to press it 5 min later. I don't want an ideal project destruction order planned in advance for that.

Can we add three new Color Trade Blocs? Tiering throughout the game has progressed in the past year and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for smaller AAs to find a settled home without being moved on for damaging the bonuses of larger more established ones. It’s easy to see the argument from both sides on this and perhaps the introduction of three new colors might help all.

Under as a guest is all I've ever wanted from Thalmor Radio

Greetings Shifty. Your thread was hidden by me personally and is under review by the rest of the forum moderation team. If you are looking for the truth behind this action, I can name at least two reasons due to which this happened: 1. You posted a thread in Orbis Central, so according to the forum's label, "Out-of-Game discussions of the politics of planet Orbis" are supposed to be posted here. Your thread had nothing to do with politics of the game. It was just about personal drama between two individuals on Discord, that had nothing to do with P&W. 2. If you read the forum rules, you will see the following: (Moderation Staff): "Creating posts "calling out" moderators or the game staff is prohibited. Instead, if there is an issue with a warn received contact a moderator or use the proper forums to request appeal." & "Any concerns with the moderation staff should be addressed with the game administrator, Alex, via pm." Moderation staff includes both forum, Discord and other social media staff, as well as in-game staff. 3. The final reason from my side was that your thread was related to the real identity of a member of the community and concerns about doxxing them. If you really want to protect the said individual, the worst thing you can do is bring up this issue to the public. Regarding your accusations about the "weird' motives behind hiding the thread, the Discord and forum teams have no interaction with each other, mainly due to the fact that forum mods' identities are not known even to Discord moderators. I've locked this thread too, since it also breaks two of these three rules. I will leave it around so that I make sure you read the response and then will probably move it to the forum reports area or just hide it. Have a nice week.

My ancestors are smiling upon me Moderators, can you say the same?

this but with forum threads

It has been stated time and again that discord and the forums are completely separate and one does not have to do with the other. Deleting the thread in its entirety draws more attention to the convoluted disaster that is this games moderating system on both the forums AND discord instead of it just sputtering out on its own or being overlooked once locked. Now, we're all twice as curious as we were before. Delete one thread, two more shall take its place.

If you really wanted to copy something from the other game which shall not be named, then making the existing color blocs stronger with elements of Senators and Sanctions would be one of the few things I would port over. There are, in my opinion, enough color blocs as it is. There should be more intrigue around the ones that do exist.

Honestly, I find discussions about changes in mechanics pointless and they kinda kill the fun. I want to play the games, not to "optimize" them or discuss how they should be played. In a game you get some rules and adapt accordingly. Sure, some of them may suck for a specific playstyle. Just don't pick that playstyle then or deal with it. Discussing every 3 months about changes in THE core mechanic of the game (war) is becoming ridiculous. The game is 5 years old already. The best thing we could do is just leave everything as it is. It doesn't matter anyway. No matter the war mechanics, alliances will just use FA to get more power to balance whatever weaknesses may appear.

I can see the reasoning for this, but personally I think color blocs are functioning as intended. They were created to encourage drama, politics, and war, that’s what they’re currently doing, makes the game a bit more exciting, especially during peace time when there’s not much to do.

New Colors: Clear Rainbow Roulette (changes weekly to another color and copies their bonus) Alex's Skin Tone (on a makeup palette, because maybe their nations are created with it, maybe it's Mayybelline)

I was about to go on a long explanation on why I think that nerfing a project that costs upwards of 700 millions (with space program) was a kick in the shins, but it seems the point was already raised. Either tune your numbers so spy sat doesn't get neutered, or refund spy sats to those who request it.

I believe the point of contention is to leave spy sat alone, Like, dont even change it. It hasnt been used much yet like Adrienne said and people who've built it easily have spent a half billion if not more.

Need to look at the rest of these and play around but I don't think reducing Spy Satellite down that much is a good idea, especially when it's not even really gotten play time. Don't nerf something before you even get to really see it in action.

Please pick a name that's at least remotely creative. I'm looking at you, folks who voted for 10 day war.

You people voting for the 10-day war are so fricking boring its sickening.

Projects come from infra, if you look at most pirate nations they have more projects than their infra can support. They also have like sub 1000 infra per city. I'm sure many pirates would like this project, but it's entirely infeasible due to the cost of buying that much infra for a single project.

The only question is, how long will it take for Firwof to say something dumb?

@Sir Scarfalot a falling monarchy? Huh but it seems to be real thing https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Anarcho-monarchism How strange, oh thought experiment that turned into a meme, and Tolkien seem to be a fan, lovely. Well you learn something new everyday.

I should say we only decided to make this post AFTER you declared war on on our leader Ichigo Kurosaki!

So a third level of planning projects? Ooo, that'll be pricey XD

You could just ignore the notifications. I ignore everything in life and it works out pretty well.
