This will be quite a memorable war, one way or another, and for the most ironic of reasons

I was thinking to just fully enter the war and what not , yeah using ai to get stuff is lazy.
But I thought a dow was a way to fully enter a war.
my bad.
Am such a noob for this
It absolutely is the way for Alliances and other entities to enter a war formally. Honestly, I thought this was fun to read- don't get discouraged over this at all, and welcome to PnW!
Also, did you know it's always a good time to consider donating your hard earned money to Alex?- 2

As a result of joining alliances, independence is stripped away from you as a nation and you are essentially relegated to the position of a local government official instead of the leader of a nation.You get taxed, your cities sometimes have to be a certain way, everyone in an alliance is out of bounds in case of major retaliation that your alliance does not want to face. You cant really make deals or ally with other people too much because their alliances do not want to implicated in a war or whatever.
Every major alliance has treaties with other alliances which means we are all interconnected and there's nothing to do except wait for someone to attack you and log in once a day to check the status.
We dont have any extra features to play with like colonisation of the Moon or Mars. After buying the NPs, just twiddle your thumbs really.
Have you tried showing your support by buying the Black Friday bundle? It provides all of us with the amazing chance to show Alex how supportive we are of his tireless work throughout the year. This might be right up your alley!
If you missed it, don't worry- there will be a second one before New Years, I believe- 1

Just wanted to pop in and say that the screenshot of you dropping racial slurs is sloppy at best and I'd hope you're better than that, to talk that way. Have some manners and keep your racism in your head- with what other dust is blowing around in there.

Very nicely written

Well done my friend. You easily exceeded expectations by putting CATA in a position that few would ever be able to do. It's been an honor.
Enjoy your retirement.
Thank you

Dear friends, allies, and fellow nations,
Reflecting upon my time as a leader in Cataclysm, I am most proud of the legacy we have built together—an embodiment of planned and tactical growth on a grand scale. At the heart of this success lies the unwavering dedication and support of each and every one of our members. Your commitment to our alliance, your perseverance during times of hardship, and your unwavering loyalty have made all the difference.
As I transition into a more behind-the-scenes role, my aim is to ensure a smooth succession and provide the benefit of my experience and knowledge wherever it is needed, across all areas. While my voice may not be as prominent, rest assured that my dedication to our shared goals remains steadfast. I will be here to offer guidance, advice, and support, ensuring the continuity of our strategic endeavors.
As I/We embark on a new chapter, I leave Cataclysm Leadership with a sense of fulfillment and a profound appreciation for the incredible journey we have undertaken together. May our alliance continue to thrive, and may our bonds endure, shaping a future that surpasses even our loftiest aspirations.
With deepest gratitude and warm regards,
His Holy Decagon
TL;DR - I am retiring from Leadership in Cataclysm as well as the foreseeable future, wish me luck!- 14

Also, congrats on making it out, WANA -

[Bloc Update] ESPN8: The Ocho Presents Injury in ODOO!
In a bittersweet victory, the Purple Cobras emerged triumphant in their last dodgeball encounter against Fortuna. However, their celebration was overshadowed by a heart-wrenching twist of fate that would alter the course of their leadership's involvement and continued team participation in ODOO, the prestigious dodgeball organization.
As the final whistle blew and the cheers subsided, the Purple Cobras' esteemed leaders were startled by a distant voice calling their name. In their haste to identify the source, an ironic twist of destiny unfolded. With an unfortunate turn, they rolled both of their ankles, rendering themselves incapacitated and unable to participate further in the tournament. The team rallied around their fallen leaders, carrying them off the court with a mixture of admiration, disappointment, and an unwavering determination to continue the pursuit of dodgeball glory without them.
TL;DR: Cataclysm is issuing it's 72 hour notice of leave to ODOO- 1

I don't see how making it more difficult for newer nations with lower city counts to approach the number of cities that older, high city count nations have is productive for the long term health of the game. Sure it's great if you want to fossilize the existing order of things, but that should never be an objective. Also...
While it's true that resource prices have been in decline for well over a year, in reality, the cost of resources on the open market are actually recovering to levels they were several years ago. I don't see a resource inflation problem, based on the cost of resources at present. Again, why change? So that people who have stockpiles millions of units of resources under the current system can retain their resource advantage and increase their profits on the sale of existing stocks? Again, not needed.
If you believe this is all true, then why not spend some money and invest in food before it really takes off after this change? Not sure why it only has to be whales that you see as people who "could" "maybe" do well off. Can't people just buy food and invest in it? I did- I bought over 50m units and resold it for a few bil profit. Also, why is a new player supposed to even be able to catch up to someone with years of playing? There wasn't always UP, now there is, there wasn't always AUP, now there is- there are tons of "catch up mechanics" in the game atm imo, and I think this abundance and large pool of stuff to tap into is part of the root cause. It's just too easy to produce way too much stuff, and there's not enough mechanics ingame atm that act as a deficit (that's at least my thought)
There isn't any inflation btw, it's actually the opposite- it's rss devaluation. Inflation implies that money has lost it's value- currently money is extremely strong.- 1

So really does benefit really high city count nations beyond just harder for others to catch up. Cheaper for them to get even further, more expensive for others to catch up. Why change just for more updates without adding stuff can be bad, many might have ulterior motives for what they want him to do. (Those who want to make a ton of money without worrying about anyone reaching them, this would be good in many ways for the highest average NS alliances if they can get Alex to make the game easier to win for them.)
Please, understand that obviously that wasn't the intention lol. This is why we vet the ideas publicly- we appreciate people that can find little bugs!

15% consumption increase? Like a 15% increase to the food usage? Isn't that like...nothing? I have full soldiers at 48 cities and my food usage is 22k per day. 15% of 22k is 3300. Food currently sells at 123 ppu. 3300*123 = 405900. That is less than 1/100 of my nations daily gross income.
Did I totally misunderstand something or mess up the math or something or is the "downside" of this completely pointless?
You could be very spot on- the main mechanic I would say that people should focus on here, regarding Bountiful Harvest, is that there’s an actual secondary mechanic behind it/“built into it”.
Without clarifying the amounts exactly, I can say that the goal of this specific project is a trade off where you are pretty sure it’ll be worth the upkeep at some infra level, but being hit by a pirate and going into war time might boost you into a spiral- perhaps food prices during war reach some critical level as you, a bystander, are forced into an economic panic (maybe, I’m genuinely not entirely sure- the intent is good, I can tell you that)
Knowing a little more about the thought that went into it, does the underlying idea show any interest?

It would be nice to see memes making fun of the Florida/ODOO/KT/TFP/etc side of the war tbh (Honestly not being sarcastic)

Do others actually expect people to be dumb enough to do a direct trade when bank to bank exists? (In this specific scenario) That alone was a good indicator that this wasn’t some grand plan on TFP’s end. I guess this showcases paranoia more than anything else
