United Purple Nations and Global Alliance & Treaty Organization have found shared interests and goals with the existing members of Triforce, and have petitioned for entry. Pursuant to article 5 of the Triforce treaty, with the unanimous approval of Triforce members, we welcome UPN and GATO to the bloc. They have agreed to be bound by the following terms: TL:DR: United Purple Nations and Global Alliance & Treaty Organization have joined Triforce.

Since the war range and downdeclares have become so impossible to balance, the time has come breath new life into PnW's war system. Rather than each barracks adding a flat amount of soldiers, give it a tiny diminishing return curve. So instead of a c40 having 40 cities worth of soldiers, they'd have only 30. A c41 would have 30.25 cities worth of soldiers. etc. These are not finalized numbers, but just an example of what I mean. This way, larger nations are still receiving additional units and not being punished for growing - like some would argue the now pseudo-limitless updeclare range does. Rather, it just levels the playing field for the 90% of the playerbase that isn't above c35. We have to eventually recognize that asking players to invest 1-2 irl years just to be considered in a relevant tier isn't a good game design and will force ever-higher attrition rates as a result. I think this would also refresh politics again, as most alliances do not have an uppermost tier but this change would allow them to compete again. edit: For clarification, this is proposing we choose a city count to be an equilibrium point where anything above that point gives diminished military capacity. So, for example, if we pick c30: Anything at or below c30 would remain unchanged in terms of game mechanics. Every city above c30 would give fewer units per building lessening with each additional city. So c31 with max barracks would only give 95% of the troops it normally would. c32 would give 90%. Etc.

Looks like I'll have to merge the Triforce and Catsphere categories in the Aurora FA server. Congratulations.

Before I start, yes, this just an example of how the changes would work. But the reason you buy cities is for military reasons because the ROI on cities increases the most exponentially meaning they're worthless for economic reasons. If this change were to be implemented, it would ruin the purpose of buying cities past city 30 since you're essentially throwing money away for essentially nothing. The meta will end up changing to where everyone buys up to c30 and stay there. This essentially kills the late game for most of the upper tier nations. Only thing you could do to grow your nation is buy land and make more food. This will end up crashing the food market since everyone will be making food and force a lot of nations to switch to other resources. The other problem would be is that land increases exponentially as well, meaning there will be a point where even land is useless to buy especially if food is not worth making in this hypothetical scenario. While that may be the case for now. Do consider that there have been efforts to speed up the growth process for newer nations. And that some of those efforts are finally seeing fruition. We have Activity center to help new players grow. You can jump straight to city 20 at any given moment as a new player. We'll soon see a massive price cut for UP, AUP, and MP. It is becoming easier for new players to catch up with the rest of the game than it was 3 years ago when I started playing. Once the project update hits the main server, I bet that any player being trained by a decent alliance can catch up to where the mid tier is now. And I hope more changes will be put into effect so we can see people go from c1 to c30 in the span of a year no matter their alliance.

I agree with the general idea behind the suggestion, but I'm not sure what you specifically offer is the best way of going about it. Additionally, the army value changes already did this to some degree, though those operate on a percentile basis rather than a change to the total numbers.

A TFP Statement There seems to be some inquiry about a trade Erik made with Hatebi a few days ago. Erik was simply buying some sweet, sweet, Hatebi insurance. We’re pacifists and pixel huggers, what do you expect? No, we did not hire Hatebi to nuke the Syndicate. However, we agree with the Syndicate that there cannot possibly be any other reason Hatebi would nuke two people with a combined average infra over 3k. It must be a hostile action taken by another alliance! Nothing else is remotely fathomable. Additionally, we concur that this hostile payment must have taken place through a trade with Hatebi and through no other means. As a gesture of good will, we are happy to help the Syndicate with their quest to find this hostile entity, and have compiled a list of every nation Hatebi has traded with in the last month. We hope this critical information will help the Syndicate find their culprit. Anyways, I’m glad that we could discuss this matter privately. It’s a good thing nobody took any rash actions and embarrassed themselves with a public forum post.

The Elven Knights Accords between The Forgotten Realms and The Knights Radiant is hereby cancelled. Reasons for cancellation were given in private. TKR has been nothing but faithful allies to us since we joined a year and a half ago. We have had really good times together and have had a lot of laughs together. TKR will always have a special place in my heart. They stood by us in one of the most difficult periods of our history. This decision was not made lightly and took a lot of deliberation. But it is time for this little birdy to leave the nest and fly on its own. We love you TKR and we always will. Our dm's are always open to you and I'd expect more "serious FA business" in our embassy 😉. Also, The treaty between The Immortals and The Forgotten Realms is also hereby cancelled. Reasons for cancellation were given in private. TI, we have loved working with you and hope that we can work together again in the future. Like with TKR, our dm's are always open to you guys. Edit: This is a 72 hour notice. Not a straight cancellation. Signed, Elros Tar-Minyatur, High King of the Realms

Probably going to get all the downvotes here but land shouldn't be immutable. It would be cool to either be able to steal land from your opponents or have it decay over time, needing replacement and therefore repayment. That's the whole idea, give me all your downvotes fellow whales, but look at your income and tell me that it's not 60-80% from producing food.

May the best man win!

Yes But we also found some NW and BK folks who have made ones too and now there's too many options

Ah and the bloc expands. Good luck to everyone and congrats!

stealing land: No one would fight wars unless it's an absolute dogpile. And whoever wins the most wars will grow the most, thus making it much harder for the loser to keep up with the winner growth wise. decay overtime: This might be interesting to see depending on how it's implemented.

I appreciate that. TKR has been good and faithful allies to us these past 18 months. It wasn't an easy decision but one that we felt was necessary. I will always have a special place in my heart for TKR. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with them and learning from them.

Thank you TKR and ODOO, its been a blast 🧡

As you arrive, despite my directions, I wish for an unforgettable luncheon, my roast aflame, ruined by my negligence, devilishly, I think of disguising fast food as my own. As you enter my kitchen, I stretch my calves in the window, while you inquire 'bout the smoke, "Oh just steamed clams," I remark. As I bring burgers to the table, confused by the lack of steamed clams, you ask, I reply I remarked 'bout steamed hams, of which I call burgers, despite being grilled. As we contemplate, I excuse myself, you decide to go, you ask what's in my kitchen, it being Aurora Borealis, located entirely within my kitchen at this time of year. Not allowing you to see it, I send you off on your way, while my mom yells the house's on fire, from the top floor, needing urgent help. Dear Carthago, will you be my Valentine?

Mind Blown! All the best to the TFR and others for their respective futures!

All ye pirates be ready to give it some lovin' care, mateys! 🖤

Two alliances, both alike in dignity, (In fair Orbis, where we lay our scene), From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes. A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their leaders' strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And the continuance of their leaders' rage, Which, but their members end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. (First featured in The Shakespeare Accords)

Cost too high for Nuclear Launch Facility

MILFs in Carthage Pact Preamble: Carthago and Man I love Frogs(hereby referred to as MILF) having spent years ensconced in a tight romance, hereby announce the signing of a Mutual Defense and optional Aggression Pact. Article I: Peace The signatories agree to refrain from any act of aggression towards one another, they agree to meet often, exchange frog pictures, elephant paraphernalia, and bother Daveth together. Article II: Intelligence The signatories agree to share any pertinent intelligence. Intelligence that threatens the security, well-being, or reputation of either signatory is pertinent. Article III: Aid The signatories are encouraged to seek mutually beneficial economic relations with one another and to encourage trading between nations of either signatory. Article IV: Defense An act of war upon one signatory is considered an act of war on both signatories. Each signatory reserves the right to counter any aggressive action taken against the other. Mandatory Defense is none chaining. Optional Defense is whatever you say it is. That’s the meta. MILF and Carthago are best buds though so I probably wouldn’t test it. Article V – “Optional” Aggression In the event that a signatory requires assistance in an aggressive war against a third party, signatories are strongly encouraged but not obligated to assist the other by means of financial or military support. If MILF refuses to enter an aggressive war they will make an elephant drawing for Carthago. If Carthago refuses to enter an aggressive war they will make a frog drawing for MILF. Article VI – Cancellation If either signatory feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and resulting diplomatic negotiations have not offered an acceptable resolution, notification of withdrawal must be given to the remaining signatory within seventy-two hours. Should this treaty be voided, a forty-eight-hour cool-down period begins in which neither alliance may declare war on the other. tldr: milf and cto signed an m level

For legal reasons this is a joke and everything I say is alleged

Well it looks like you've bought 3 cities and 2 projects since receiving that, so that's probably where all your money went. For the love of all that is holy, stop posting all over the Forums for the smallest of things and take some agency upon yourself to figure it out first.

I suggest you call this one The Quickie.

We've gotten to a point where we're now speedrunning wars huh

I recommend implementing the Grumpy Ban Hammer rule, if any post gets around 10 hammer emoji's the person that made the post gets permanently banned. You want to be annoying or inappropriate? Do it somewhere else.

IMO it's working exactly as intended. It was designed to give people something to fight over, and people do. Sure, it's not very fun to be on the losing side, but that's true of any mechanic that creates conflict. Or just conflict in general.
