  1. I was gonna write a long text on my views on how this will change the balance of the game but then realised that that is not my job. My job is to try to exploit the mechanics to my benefit as much as I can. Idk, good luck. I hope this makes the game more fun or something.
  2. Aurora declares on their allies within the 72 hour cancellation period, which perfectly encapsulates Aurora
  3. Bro Coven can you hit me in particular please? I want to shred some infra
  4. Join Serene Wei. I heard it is the best alliance in the world!
  5. I'm coming for yo ass !@#$
  6. Kick Dr Rush Weeb Fernando Alonso's 33rd Formula 1 victory will be in Australia VAMOOOOOS
  7. They are obviously not relevant enough to be included
  8. I am personally of the opinion that it is your duty and your duty alone for a global war to start. So please start working on it.
  9. So true tbh. I gotta say it is very hard to turn not fully motivated newbies into stable gov though.
  10. The VM update is fantastic, I love it. Just a straight improvement. Spies I don't rlly care about. I like promoting bounties, I think they are a cool idea. I love the changes to UP and AUP and I've been wanting exactly that, which I hope helps balance the market and the low tier. The pirate economy change may benefit me, but it is honestly a pretty weird one. I am not sure whether I like it... Adding projects with multiple not super connected effects isn't awesome Advanced PE sounds interesting. The problem is that the number of nations that will really find it to be a secure profitable investment will not be that large. I think we would much more benefit from a project that just only has the loot modifier. Plus adding even more offensive war slots I don't think is the way. I absolutely love this Bureau of Domestic Affairs project. Not that I think everyone will get it, but it is the type of project that really makes sense and adds depth to the project list. The type of project that is very hard to tell just how worth it it is. I absolutely love it and I hope it arrives as soon as possible. Also, maybe make it a little cheaper, but it is my favourite proposal. Thank you for working on making this game better:))
  11. I've got to say that you have turned Aurora into a great alliance. I would be extremely proud if I was you
  12. I don't mean that I wouldn't be able to do staff work, I mean that I wouldn't be able to make decisions on, in the example of Econ, how high the taxes should be, whether the AA should grant X and y or only y, that type of stuff. Staff work you can do anywhere, but making decisions on how a certain area is run, not so much.
  13. Damn I totally missed this topic. From what I understand the main question is "Do we have a shortage of new blood in macros due to new alliances forming or do new alliances forming attract new blood, leaving macros with a stagnant government line up?" And I am gonna rant about it Well, as someone that very much fits the definition of "new blood" that has definitely taken the micro route over and over again I can say that macros are the most depressing thing ever. I like some of the macros like TKR (although I would never join it due to slack) and at times I was very much looking to get out of the environment I was in and join a new alliance, but macros are so depressing. The problem with macros was always that, whichever one I joined, I would be looking at, at least, over 6 months without having any real form of decision power in my department, pretty much no matter my level of activity and time put into doing aa work. In smaller alliances you can get some form of decision power within the aa within a month and see clear political growth in the meanwhile. Macros are just so depressing. And I honestly wonder just how much decision power even the high government of established alliances have. I assume that the IA head of TKR could not, all of the sudden, start having the same standards and procedures as the IA head of TFAP has and viceversa. The same with Econ or even milcom. The system already exists and, at best, after months of grinding, you might be chosen to just carry the torch. Maybe you get lucky and get into a position to make some small changes. All of this is only as long as the old department head that was absolutely amazing doesn't suddenly decide to just come back and take over the department. Meanwhile there are alliances like SRF (Now part of Serene Wei). SRF was a bit of special case since it essentially goes back to IKEA, 2020, but it still followed the micro situation where the government might be full, but there are opportunities everywhere and a lot more room for change than in almost all established alliances. A place in which I could get a real chance of getting some decision power and play the politics game. (Granted this was a particularly special case because I knew the leader, Matshaa, from a year ago and he had mentored me on some things before) If alliances like SRF didn't exist, I don't think I would have joined Eclipse or whatever alliance with the same motivation. It is just extremely depressing to know that, no matter how well you do, you are just not getting that decision power in ages. I think I would have decidedly pretty much quit gov/staff work and just focuss on some separate project like the essays I was writing. Instead I am currently in charge of Serene Dojo (the training AA for Serene Wei) and contributing much more to the game than I would have otherwise. I don't see how macros should change their current position too much either. Largely speaking, the best people should be in charge of the most things and new blood usually just isn't up to the level of people with half a decade more of experience. Micros will just always offer new blood something macros shouldn't offer. There is not much to do about it and I am happy micros exist, they motivate me much more than those established alliances.
  14. I think this tutorial works very well. I particularly like objective 24 with the buy 10k soldiers stuff. I really like that you leave it up to alliances to teach them more about the game since every alliance has its way of doing things. The tutorial "sucks" in that it doesn't tell you much, but that is completely fine by me. Every step after the tutorial I am sure my alliance does slightly different to many others Only thing is: why the farms?
