  1. Per my usual, I would toss slots entirely and go for a research type system where every project has a base effect which you can increase through further investment. Specializations arise from investment choices rather than a hard limit which is more organic. It also scales better with nation growth. Ofc a few projects would need some serious tweaks in this setup, but thats needed anyways.
  2. For those concerned, menus on the navbar will open on mouseover not on click. Here is a question though, should the navbar be pinned to the screen, or should it move down when you scroll so its always visible?
  3. Please keep in mind the mock ups are far from a finished product, they are to help get a sense of where things go, not so much a reflection on final appearances. Also this process will almost not effect the mobile navigation at all.
  4. Or we can not nerf the weakest unit in the game into the dirt? Also your now tying an rp element to gameplay after the fact, thats never a good idea. BTW, beige won't leave again until its replacement is ready.
  5. First off, lets ignore the presented numbers and look at the fundamental concepts. Fundamentally this a further punishment for losing a war and further benefit for winning. This also means that in its fine balancing it can only have two states, help attackers/hurt defenders or be so weak as to do nothing. Now the question is that something that is wanted/needed. The game already punishes losers pretty heavily. Too heavily in fact, this is the general community consensus and also the objective observation after looking at how conflicts play out. That means if has any effect it is defacto OP. That only leaves having no appreciable effect, which makes it a waste of time implement because it will never do anything.
  6. If you politely request it alex will already release names being held by dead alliances/nations on a case by case. As for processing power, the only power that should be being used used is a couple extra 0.001 ms on a database call once a day while global stats are called. Unless ofc someones goes and deliberately searches these alliances out triggering an update of their db entry. I can see counting towards stats being an issue if in fact they do so to be an issue but thats better fixed by just not counting them. I'd point out the game doesn't even check for truly dead alliances with 0 members at all. Such alliances get deleted when someone checks their page. Adding a completely new check for the purposed edge case is actually rather expensive on processing time for no benefit.
  7. 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.
  8. I plead doing this at 5am, anyways added
  9. Yes I'm very late. RL been very stressful and I honestly kept forgetting about it. Anyways for clarity this is only for the major war that being the TCW rolling. UPN's rolling doesn't meet the threshold of a major war and therefore a war name vote. That being said if ya'll want I can open a separate thread for a vote on that otherwise it'll just be named whatever the page is already named probs. Pick the ones you like, vote will close in 3 days and then topish contenders will go for a runoff.
  10. Yes I know I'm very late been busy. I'm creating a list and will review with wiki team before start the vote as usual. Can a forum mod hit me with a lock on this one.

    Discord Ban

    You have been unbanned.
  12. Discord mod checking in, unless this happened in the official PW server (it didn't the logs say so) there is nothing I can do. This is a matter for Discord's Trust and Safety Team which oversees their platform globally. Instructions: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000291932-How-to-Properly-Report-Issues-to-Trust-Safety Please note: Your screenshots are worthless as evidence discord will want links to the messages.
  13. The Shortest Night Also 48 hours or so until i start the voting process
  14. Who? What? Where? Is there a dow? This seems like micro drama and could be entertaining.
  15. Name the War suggestion thread. Votes will occur after peace is signed etc etc. Happily Everafter War

    tl;dr your not sorry for what you did. Just that you got caught doing it and it got you banned.

    You basically 'asked' to banned and now you want to be unbanned? What is my assurance that you won't further harass the staff team?
  19. Both slots and beige are broken. Both are constantly abused, it is not some one off issue. There is some major scandal related to it every single major conflict. Beige is meant to be a final fall back state that you do not want to be in. There only to prevent a rolling in to oblivion nothing more nothing less. It should always always be better to avoid being beiged. At no point in a game should strategy be based on hoping your enemy wins in a battle. Yet such is what beige is currently.
  20. I fundamentally disagree with the bolded part. Setting aside straight up cheating such as multis and exploits. Alex should never need to intercede into the actual gameplay. Any place he does need to indicates a failing of the mechanics. In this instance without Deus Admin the meta would be slotfill everything and stare. Which is obviously not workable, but that does not make banhammer a good fix. Here that fix has created the 'toe the line meta' in which various parties on all sides have pushed the limits of what they can get away with on everything from slot filling to bank hiding. Its lose lose lose for everyone involved. The only proper way to fix these kind of issues is to mechanically shift the meta so grey area tactics aren't appealing anymore. And, Yes I'm a mechanical purist.
  21. >Has a gripe with staff >Spams sheepy >Sheepy is busy >Decides a video with blanket accusations of mod abuse is the play. >Gets the hammer >Pikachu.png >Should have been perm banned for evading suspension with a multi by their own admission. I'll give you that the forums appeal process or lack thereof is whack. But your way of addressing it leaves much to be desired. If anything stunts like this make mod teams not want to deal with appeals. Also, As any reasonable reading of the bolded section includes Discord mods, I'm going to politely demand you produce evidence to support it or retract the statement.
  22. This folks is how you become blacklisted from any alliance worth anything. Can't help but notice he's still posting. You at least revise your vetting procedures after this. A noble goal, but sometimes educating noobs requires some tough love. As it is, given many might describe his current actions as treason, the relatively mild bullying the community is dishing out is not uncalled for.
