If the alternative would be either micros or large alliances I guess elite alliance would be better. Large alliances indeed are boring. The elite small high govs don't have the time nor interest to really engage with the lower 75% and wars are extremely well planned, followed by long NAPs. Micros on the other hand seems to enjoy the best parts of the game, better cb's, relative quicker growth or decline, exiting wars with lasting impacts. Elite alliances could atleast in part better fit the micro playstyle than the large alliances. But the benefits for large alliances are better than the other sides apparently and many people who play pnw for a long time feel comfortable having a minimum of input without loosing all the effort already made. On another note, very nice to see the forums a bit more active!

Role play can be part of creating your nations page and adjusting the different aspects and description of your nation. Some alliances have a strongly developed theme that binds them to eachother but I dont know if any of those goes very far with that.

Harry flashman? Where did he go?

Western democracy has improved lives of most citizens in an immense way. And agreed with OP, of those western countries those with high taxes have the best living standards

Youre not any fun in this thread, thats for sure.. War is nice. Good wars are even better. Shakyr proposes to shorten the wars which would make the long NAPs unnecessary and the entire war part more easy. Combine it with a surrender option at a certain infra level after a certain amount of time and this game could improve. Im especially curious to Alex's actual plans because this otherwise would all be idle chatter.

Youre making arguments pro Shakyr. The tactics you describe may seem like a favor towards the little guy in any given war but it actually reinforces the inbalance between the two sides. Plus its not like your way of playing the game, being toxic, a bit racist and trolling helps to make PnW a nice place for new players (and old). But hey, keep things exactly the way they are and expect changes!

Very good suggestion. Wars now drag on which doesnt benefit the losing side nor the winning side. With this suggestion wars would be more dynamic and not the borefest they are now. @Alexwhat do you think and what do you plan with the war mechanics in the next 6 months or so?

I for one would welcome some discord screen dumbs in here. Wasnt there someone who paid for those?

Also, is it really a good idea to put people from the Balkans in one alliance?...

Even if you feel the OP is overly touchy or PC you cannot deny his claims and statements. He also proposes a real solution. And since this is in basis a text based game he actually is making a dead on point. Interesting to say the least.

Agreed. Its very hard to go from a rather smooth game flow which is predictable and provides a steady growth to a more dynamic unpredictable gameplay. If a radical change is wanted a radical gamechange has to be made.

Wouldnt it have been cheaper to perma zero infra all of argh members for 6 months by the paying people? Would also have been a fun community event. Perhaps in 2025?

Revive Acadia!?!

What does the data say? Can the wars over the course of PnW be brought into a nice graph for example? It would be interesting to see if the dynamics behind the alliance system has caused a decline in warfare or trading or something similar.
