Right, I gotta ask. Does this mean that col A has a NAP with col B, or did Carthago just sign a peace pact with the entire game aside from KT, Yarr, and WTF? 

Would Carthago like a peace pact with WTF?  Because I think I can get Carthago some very favorable terms with minimal reps.

Permission to love this idea and wait for all the screech owls to complain?  But please, do it any way.  Nice addition. 

[i'am quitting]

Play because you enjoy the game on balance.  Everyone has good/bad times, but this is supposed to be fun.

Never let this game become such a distraction that it trumps RL stuff that matters.  Remember what's really important.

Play competitively and with a sense of sportsmanship.  No one respects a cheat, no matter how much you brag on your nation age about your stats.

Hopefully you learn a few things that can help you in RL.  Team skills.  Leadership skills.  Maybe even some tech skills.  You're wasting an opportunity if you don't.

Good luck out there.

I hate both sides in GW28. Rose is desperately trying to sell spy ops (as many of you know by now), and this guy in The Legion (Illusha) had the audacity to disrespectfully raid a weakened nation (Luna, my only PnW friend so far) that isn't even in the war.

Sounds like you need to grow your nation and your alliance, and work the alliance system to the point that no one will think of raiding your friend.  Get right on that.

I dont get it... you are making fun of Guardian for having the 6th best damage numbers out of everyone?  They are losing and are 6th in the rankings, that is actually super impressive. 

This is like the MTG commercial where she is trying to shit on Biden for all the good stuff he has done because she is a wacko and thinks its bad. At the end he is like thanks for the shout out, I approve this message. 

You went there, I noticed that none of those are Black alliances. 😆

I should probably get out more.  Also, I would never call Guardian a terrible alliance.  They are turning in a respectable performance here, agreed.

Oh. Apologies. I was under the mistaken impression that tS's FA dept had imploded from a lack of ability and that was the reason they had kept changing allies and spheres over the last couple of years.

Now I see my mistake. What I originally mistook for incompetence is actually a burning desire on tS's behalf to courageously bring balance to this game by constantly changing treaties and spheres so as to prevent any one alliance from assuming a position of preeminent dominance. 

I unreservedly apologise for my mistaken presumption.

If you knew anything about my history, you'd know that I'm one of the last people on Orbis to be a t$ supporter.

Could be all a happy accident on their part, doesn't matter.  I merely offered the observation that whenever too much power concentrates in one place, there tends to be a concentration power to oppose them.  We are at such a moment in history.

The "temporary" treaty expands 😆

So when faced with a group of alliances that have the potential to act in concert to suppress any smaller opposing bloc, what do you recommend?  Hope they'll accept your offer of a NAP?  Or maybe see who else sees the threat like you and then band together with them to create a much larger bloc to eliminate or reduce that threat?

It will come out in due time if it isn't already common knowledge.  I suspect that it already has in certain circles though.

This could be a cool thing or a game breaking thing that will make it tougher for newer nations to catch up with older nations.

That said, I think as I see some examples for the sorts of things you have in mind and their effect, I'll have some input for you.

I wonder if there's a way for the admins to run a script that adds achievements not on a nation. Kinda doubt it, but... might be worth looking into for situations like this?

I conducted an audit for my own nation, and perhaps if everyone else did that it might help out Alex, then again it could also inundate him the admin staff with requests.  An automated audit of all nations achievements would probably be best.  Also a check of current scripts to make sure they are working properly (clearly at least one isn't) is also in order.

I'm gonna reserve my judgement for after the 1st global in this new meta. I have 1 huge concern though.

This will make blitzes considerably less effective, which imo can only lead to coalitions being even more reluctant to launch offensive wars, unless they have an even bigger advantage than most tend to do when they go on the offensive.

Therefore I'm concerned this will make wars less frequent and even more lopsided than usual, so hopefully I'm wrong.

If a war is won in the opening blitz, that war was probably a duck roll and lopsided from the first war dec.  I will admit I had some serious concerns about the changes.  But having fought some wars under them on Test, it does mean that you'll see more Moderate successes than you have in the past all other numbers of units being the same, but that's ok.  We all could benefit from having additional wars that are a bit more competitive.
