If you have a proper spy force the cost to spy you is your defense. It gets to be pretty pricey real fast. If you don't carry enough spies but instead focus on purely econ, you deserve to get spied a lot.

Welcome to Orbis, always good to see new alliances form or come over from elsewhere. And there is no peace mode in our world, so that's definately a huge upgrade.

This. Never understood why people sold it below $1000 a few months ago.

I like the GPA as long as it's housing the real deals and not just people who hide behind the GPA for protection temporarily until they want war with their now larger nation. But most of the GPA is solid and I like the concept of allowing players to just be nation builders. Who am I to tell people how they must play this game. And I look forward to the day with all top 10 nations are GPA (honestly, no sarcasm there).

I guess this might need more discussion. These trades have been up for several days now and I just took the screenshots of them now.

I think there needs to be a small chance your spies just absolutely bungle up the operation so I like the change. And $4.5m donation is about right. Once you start approaching $6-7m that just gets to be too much.

I love the spy system in theory. It's another way to play, just like embargoes. It creates another layer of game play, that will help create more tension and thus more war and more diplomatic "incidents" which are good for the game.

So how many spies would be killed if say 15 'sabotaged' 30? 6 vs 30 at 81% seems rather high, even if they kill only 1-2. But if 15 attacked, would they hill 5-10?

Currently, if you try to sabotage other nation's spies it will show as "Spies Captured" in your nation screen. I think this is a bad idea since you can't really preform the act without people quickly finding out who did it. With login times, active times, and just seeing how many you capture each day. It's quite easy to figure out your Spy Sabotage operations. My suggetion is to remove from public viewing the Spy Captured and Spy Lost information. Because why would my spies tell the world how many people they captured?

Yea I have to admit I didn't realize spy odds were so high to sabotage others spies. Prob. need to cut the % success by 1/3 or at least 1/2, like it is with ships. In theory it should be hard for spies to kill other spies.

A grave grave insult indeed. II, you would do well to not look away from the distinguished gentlemen from New Jersey.

Your avatar is all wrong. Quitters never lose.

Wait, so you want to accept members that would quit a game over a few spy attacks? I'd hate to see what happens to your alliance if someone actually attacks your members.

Never back down, never surrender!

So you won't even sign a paperless treaty with us?

This is an excellent post. You can figure out how much each improvement slot will cost you/profit by selling it's goods. Market prices determine optimal build order. And some of that has to do with your native resources.

Someone should try to poach me. I'm looking to leave Guardian for a better alliance.

Congrats, those are some numbers man.

Why certainly!

I don't think you are being truthful. I received an embargo from just about every VoC/DEIC nation and almost all of them had the same embargo message. There is no other way that could happen unless it was a VoC/DEIC order.

Best of luck man!

The way TEst acted and performed in this war was amazing. As if I needed any more reasons to like you guys!

There is always a delicate balance in the amount of destruction a nation should take that won't make them just rage quit. But I do think you'd be better off lowering destruction levels and having an option to not beige a player. While I like the idea of giving someone a chance to rebuild military, it just means people find ways around it like declaring right before another person beiges that nation. So beige doesn't really help a nation in an alliance vs. alliance war in some/most cases. But this game half war simulator - if people are afraid to see their nations temporarily destroyed they picked the wrong game.

Hello and welcome back.

Very merciful that you only make him take a two month break. Or I suppose some in SI would say unmerciful he wasn't banned forever from leadership.
