I'm sorry, didn't we just have a year-long global war where your side won because the "whales" couldn't beat out the zerg-swarm of Roqbots with 18-20 cities? Where the whole game who wasn't on your side joined together and still got held down because of the broken war mechanics... Your premise is, sorry to be rude, stupid. I don't appreciate you trying to further worsen the game by attempting to block the first genuinely good update in two years. I hope Alex can see the results of the poll and finally recognize it's time for change to come to Orbis that benefits all nations, not just updates that nerf raiders or buff sub-10 city "players" in GPWC.

... who asked for this change? edit: no thanks to 1/4th.

It shouldn't be as powerful as attacking aircraft with aircraft imo. Just something that can help edge out planes. For example - two nations at war. One has the advantage in the air, the other on the ground. If the Air-advantaged nation isn't paying attention you can double-buy planes and do four ground attacks and suddenly you've evened the playing field.

100k per city seems relatively fair. It'll help the lower tiers more which is fine.

I honestly never thought I'd see the day when the war system would begin to be balanced. I love it Alex.

Great idea. Yes, this^ Soldiers are an effective meta for raiding but to be fair to the game, I don't think they should counter planes.

Honestly all of your advice is just to mitigate the risk of investment in shady banks with little or no transparency. Just don't invest in people you don't trust, you don't need to avoid banks.

Please take a moment to consider some of the suggestions in the first thread too edit: Upon further consideration, I actually voted no for this change. I think a major military update is needed, while this is a part of that needed update I think releasing things piecemeal will do more harm to the meta than good. I hope you can understand that I am voting as a player, not simply a raider. I believe the score formula needs to be changed, including raising the score value of cities, but I don't feel like changing the score formula without the requisite other changes will have a net negative impact on the vast majority of game experiences.

This increase in score based on cities would actually appear to worsen the problem that we saw last war - where the higher city count whales were being sat on by numerically superior lower tier nations with literally no chance of escape. Casualties, cost of units, and daily purchase limits need to be revisited before score ranges imo. I'd *like* to see cities count for more (like 75-100 score per city), but without additional changes put in place it would pointlessly worsen problems we already see. I feel like the complaints are really just people being raided who can't find counters quick enough to help them since it's been proven multiple times that multiple nations can beat a higher tier opponent just with coordination.

Maybe a completely self-serving suggestion but what if we made ground attacks steal between 1-100 rss from a nation as well as the cash per attack? So for reference if you completely beiged someone using ground-only and got perfect RNG, you could steal 1000 of each resource per war. Alternatively if you got the worst RNG you'd steal 10 of each.

Just to play devils advocate: - The only concrete goal in the game is buying cities. The less time spent "chasing" that goal, the less time people may maintain interest in the game. - Every time the limit is raised, it skews in favor of large/old alliances with plenty of funds to dump into new nations. This encourages people to join the rich establishment and contributes to political stagnation. Overall though I just blanket-oppose adding any more "catch up" updates until there's actual content in the mid-to-late game. We're otherwise just rushing new players into their own bored stagnation and eventual loss of interest.

Welcome back! You picked a good time

The only reason it lasted that long was because NPO had a resource/cash farm keeping them afloat. So you likely won't see one again.

Didn't coalition A surrender tho ?

I'm not upvoting the 32nd fake-retirement of Partisan. Sorry you have to do more work until Partisan feels like it again, eumir

10 days later: an average of 12 forum accounts voted for no changes an average of 4.5 forum accounts voted for less or no MAP's when wars start an average of 9 accounts voted for no superiority or blockading when a war starts an average of 31 support reducing casualties and increasing buy rates in some way. That's a pretty clear result. I'm sure Alex will be implementing no MAP's very shortly.

Agreeing with Akuryo here. The answer isn't to nerf raiding or wars, it's to nerf casualties and blitzes. We had that big poll that got 100+ responses by Prefontaine, I would make the next war update based on that poll and then see how that affects things.

Paper man bad

You came into the world with a vision, you came onto the battlefield with a thunder, you exit the arena victorious. Good work Chaos, lovely to see people uniting for a purpose and shaking hands to part after said purpose. #ClubShred Good luck to everyone moving forward!

These papermillers, they're the 0.01%! They're the Syndicate Executives with their golden parachutes, being subsidized by our tax money! They make billions in profit every year while we sub-30 city nations struggle and have to go without! It's time to rise up and say no more, the Syndicate needs to pay their fair share to Orbis. It's time the papermillers had their paper SHREDDED! #Arrghie Sanders 2020

Go paperless

I was under the impression this was the only qualification needed

Rose is trying to make a sphere out of GGFU and Camelot? Ouch.

This is why more people need to be paperless
