Soooo... how much money we talking here? Asking for a friend
Less than you would think, I paid like 30m total for the paid ops. Most were free ops, from my circle of spy peeps

To be fair this wasn't a rose thing, this was a dtc is too neurotic and didn't wanna lose a spy war thing
Rose wasn't aware and rose wasn't financially involved 🫠

There is no point to espionage, it's a headless chicken, running around the yard making a mess (see other topics for a discussion around beige).
The point of beige though, is to be a safe zone for you to recover (or to be protected if you are new).
You can't recover if you're constantly harrassed by espionage attacks.
Additionally, does it make sense that it's possible to have a low score nation, harrass new nations with espionage attacks, who are in their initial "safe" beige period? I know that would drive me to quit a game before I started.
If you think spying is headless chicken then you really are still in the dark on how alliances should be spying
Do you ever get tired of making these same posts every war?

We thought we could change t$ and that a changed t$ would be good for the game. We were evidentally wrong on that one.
Believe it or not, I don't hold massive grudges.
The inflated ego of the tyrant
The inflated ego of the tyrant is a curse to himself and his world—no matter how his affairs may seem to prosper. Self-terrorized, fear-haunted, alert at every hand to meet and battle back the anticipated aggressions of his environment, which are primarily the reflections of the uncontrollable impulses to acquisition within himself, the giant of self-achieved independence is the world’s messenger of disaster, even though, in his mind, he may entertain himself with humane intentions.

Not including the top 2 tiers where we outnumber you by an overwhelming 4 nations, you outnumber us by over 2:1. That looks even, but when it comes to Rose revenge wars, its not about the challenge, its about the overwhelming numbers. And we all know Eclipse is allergic to anything resembling a tough fight. You guys wanted your steamroll, you got it, I dont know why you come in here trying to insult everyone's intelligence stating anything else.
So go ahead, get your revenge war, and dont think I will forget anytime soon that you hit us about a month after our last war ended.It's amusing that gob gets super argumentative over a war when it's their first time being wiped in....2 years maybe? It could be every alliance in pnw against GGO and it would still be fine because you guys have gone way too long without seeing an L in reality
Gob has a true monopoly on the 40+ tier which you have said that's what really counts. How exactly do you expect alliances to beat you? Should we just have the upper 10 people in rose join test so that it's equal numbers? Because rose alone surely is way too low, test/Eclipse alone isn't enough. T$ alone isn't enough. Any war that wins against gob is inevitably.going to look like a dogpile because of the low and mid tier numbers skewing

Don't care about the noise in here but I will add add a little of my own. Your a bunch of wankers that keep bringing knives to gun fights. So now that we offer an olive branch by downsizing we get this. I honestly couldn't think of a better way to express how tiny you are, congrats!
I rarely spend time here so if you have a different opinion dm me.
Hurry up and burn me pixels already. I've rebuilt, built another city and almost have enough cash to rebuild again, since our last dust up. If you take the usual amount of time I'll find a way to make enough to build another city before your done. If you really want to compete with us stop taxing your whales or let the best of them join us, your choice.
Have a grande day and enjoy your long weekend,
Malinok
Someone is salty taking an L
if you haven't noticed it's somewhat of an even war if you exclude all of the mid tier. You guys have more 40+ and this war would have probably gone different if it was your offensive. You guys were also unaware of the blitz and you lost before you all noticed.
Also who's gonna tell him that rose doesnt tax its whales but still funds their war rss 😶

Okay so someone hitting you 4 months ago and being neutral for six months is a valid CB. That was a strange time to hit Celestial when rumors of secret treaties begin to surface.
Imagine thinking CB's are still required for a war

Well thats embarrassing for us
Also, why did you guys decide on a 5 day cap? Seems kinda redundant to give them all this incentive to get back into the fight but not give them their full rebuy? Also can't really organize a proper comeback if the alliance beige timers are all scattered a day or 2 behind. If 30% of the sphere or alliance comes off beige 1 or 2 days before the rest (due to not being maxed yet) then there's really no point in rebuilding at all, since they already wiped 100% of the sphere, 30% coming out is a walk in the park.

Would you like me to find the several threads regarding these changes I've made over the years? As I've said in the design channel the shift from your attacker letting you build versus the game giving you a window to build is the theme of these shifts.
I've also seen the messages directing people to go downvote and upvote the thread. Nice try though.
Feel free to share ss's of those messages because to my knowledge that's false
-
Also @Prefontaineif you notice, your original post has 25 down votes and my long response has 18 up votes, and if you look closer at the names there's many reputable people on those votes
Stop pushing your own agenda and have an actual spy dev team 😇
-
I will again mention, your changes are meant to make it easier for a spy comeback, and to level the playing field correctly?
Your changes make it so rose will never lose another spy war, if these changes were live for this war HW would be wiped after we all rebuilt in the reserve.
You're trying to make it more even but in fact you're making it much more of a rose spy game. I'm against the changes even though they benefit rose
Edit:
I'll also mention, rose spy team is putting out probably 100 hours per day combined of labour involved with spying, you can't say it's an unfair mechanic when almost every other alliances uses a very bad bot system to do ops. It's not the mechanics that are broken, it's the laziness of other alliances that make it appear broken

Insisting? Are you getting logs of the design channel? Regardless that's a bold, and incorrect claim. I posted the idea of removing it, someone suggested removing it and adding the op. We then went on a long talk about other areas of the change and then I said this:
Prefontaine — 07/20/2022
One last thing before I go.
Changing the 1.5x spy rate for spy sat to 1 additional op is something liked, yes?Someone confirmed and then I said.
Prefontaine — 07/20/2022
That got lost in the shuffle but I didn't want to omit it.
Works for me.And it would be interesting to see who is actually in your design team, would you mind listing the names?

Yes, this is the reason for the beige changes. One of the biggest let downs when you're winning a war is when the enemy sells off everything and your left there punching a dead bag. You should want enemies to rebuild so you can keep fighting, it's more fun to fight someone who can fight back. This way a war, and a spy war, isn't over and done in the opening moments. Something that can go on for weeks and months isn't done in the moment. Will the other side rebuild? Not necessarily. Can they with these changes? Yes. That being the important thing.
So yes, these are good things. Thanks for highlighting them.With spy sat you can kill off more than enough spies in the opening day to spend the next day change on units if need be.
In a 1v1 sure, in a global that's not plausible, you have like 1000 members that need to be wiped before you can think of swapping to military kills. 3x'n buy rates and nearing spy sat makes it near impossible to effectively spy military in a global.

Works for me.Yes I see some logs of the spy talk stuff, these changes are top dramatic and game breaking, if you want to make spies useless and have sheepy refund billions in sats, then by all means

Pre, quit trying to reinvent the wheel. You know very little of the spy game so these changes do way more harm than good, the people who are supporting the changes don't know much about spying either
Spy training rates are tripled. (8 can go into reserve and 4 into active or 12 can go into reserve with all spy projects. 6 can be made per day with no spy projects and you can have up to 4 of them be active duty)
As I bring up every time this thread is made, if you increase the spy production then there becomes 0 purpose of spying, you cannot effeftively spy military or nukes/missiles in a global war if the rates are increased, you will be stuck continuously killing spies. It takes a lot of coordination to wipe the enemy sphere, AND still still keep them low enough to spy military daily.
you're also talking about reducing the kill rates, which makes it near impossible to wipe the sphere combined with increased rates.
spy sats having 3 ops instead of the % damage boost is a fairly large nerf and makes the 500m+ projects really not worth it, there's nothing wrong with spy sats, since most people who care about spies enough, have sats, or they're too small to matter.
I get you're trying to balance things but in your changes there's like 8 game changing changes, how do you expect balance when many of those things will break a whole part of war.
This global should be a more eye opening experience for those who normally complain about roses spying. Rose lost the spy front for the first time, we were not prepared, we ignored leaks, we didn't make sheets, we didn't warn members to be active. They spy blitzed us and we weren't able to recover, we fought and it was near flipping but we failed. Do you see our spy team complaining that it's broken? No, instead rose is still doing 250 ops per day suiciding into tanks at 50% success rates.
Spies are NOT broken, people just complain because they are either too lazy to put in the effort, or have no knowledge on how spies actually work.
Also one last point, if you allow rose to do a full reserve setup like you're saying, then rose will never lose a spy front, since we would.turn any defensive spy war into an offensive front when we please.
