Oh boy.  Continue the passive aggressive whining about it.

 

Honestly at this point I hope you guys get rolled eventually.

Maybe you should actually help your alliance and declare wars instead of whining on forums about a joke

Thank you for the word of the day. 

My statement was based around the fact that you tried to force GATO off brown but failed. Given that CTO was given the same term it's not unfair to assume you guys tried to move them as well which strikes me as kinda funny. I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that it was this term that was the most hotly contested during negotiations since & which is now BS has always been hard to get prots to switch colors, GATO has a history on brown that predates the dinosaurs and TCW was choked about moving off Green. 

Even if BR didn't want to peace out sooner (which I've heard mix things) it's the fact that you offered terms and basically just got white peace which makes it seem like a gigantic waste of time for no reward. I mean working together on color is very vague, it could be simply that they agreed to vote for whatever stellar name you guys come up with. 

Exactly what I said, you don't know what you're talking about.

Congratulations to Clock on delaying peace to achieve absolutely nothing.

I got a better idea. Remove baseball revenues completely so botters can't make free and undeserved money off it. No need to thanks me.

I like how you (HWR$) all make it look like Clock is the big bad guy making it look like a big deal, when the last time a Clock representative spoke in this thread was 3 days ago. We know you love us, HW & Ro$e, and that this move is 100% "because" of us .. but you could at least nuance your words, I wouldn't exactly be proud of myself and actively "troll" Clock when I signed a - I'll be careful - temporary MDP de facto creating a temporary hegemony just to allegedly stop us.

Also, I find it curious that some of you used the word "pragmatism" to refer to this move. I wouldn't exactly define a move that shows you in shameful way and gets the entire game angry for legitimate reasons as "pragmatic", but you do you. I know you guys only sees Clock because we have a few whales, but the rest of the game exists too, and yes, they disagree with your move. You're not going to convince anyone else of the opposite ..

(and props to HW members downvoting their own post in the past few days after the storm to allegedly discredit the other 130 downvotes, that's some honourable sacrifice)

Ironic to criticise others for promoting self-interest whilst simultaneously promoting a vision for the game which happens to promote one's own self-interest.

This game is governed by self-interest. Always has and always will be.

When your self-interests lead back to bipolarity, or even one would argue, to the formation of an hegemony whenever it suits them de facto killing the game, I think you should start putting yourself back in question.

Again, reacting to team concerns regarding it being too easy for a defeated side to come out of beige coordinated and counter blitz. If the members of the dev team who had/have these concerns want to address them I will let them. 

If any alliance/sphere can put an efficient counter-blitz after losing the first round, it should be rewarded, not penalised. It's certainly not "too easy" (to not say close to impossible lol) to counter-blitz efficiently and turn the tide of a war when you lost the first round.

[Proposed Beige Change]

1. If a nation leaves beige early, their units are 10% less effective in offensive wars for 12 turns.
2. If a nation wins a war, that nation can produce an additional 25% units for the remainder of that day. This number stacks but is always calculated off of the base 100% unit production levels.

 

Why ? These two just look dumb and favour dogpilers. Extremely bad.

HW as an entity is incredibly restrictive to the political meta due to the sheer unassailability of its tiering by any one single grouping

And now you have done exactly the same to an even greater extent.

Yes, yes. Because 2 spheres holding over half of the c40s+ in the game definitely is not bipolarity.

 

Cmon Pascal, ironic isn't it?

There are around 400 c30s+  in the game, about 50 c40+.

Try again with points that make realistically more sense next time.

What we have now is tripolarity. You very well know that had things remained the same, Rose/BW would have been the 3rd and 4th most powerful spheres to Clock/HW. I understand that you're mad that this move makes your job harder, but spare me the moral grandstanding.

Yes, yes. Because 2 spheres holding 65-70% of the c30s+ in the game is not bipolarity.

Tripolarity ? You're just trying to consolidate the upper tier to make yourself unkillable in that tier. As if Clock could stand any chance to beat Ro$e or HW at c30+ by being outnumbered over 2:1 by Ro$e or outtiered by HW, so spare me your moral grandstanding.

Of course, it's only a multipolar world if GOB is by far the strongest sphere, right?

I see you as the kind of guy who tries to fight fire with fire.

Congratulations on becoming the very thing you swore to destroy.

And here I thought we were done with bipolarity.

If you reduce city score the effect will be to make down decs easier, and without a hard bottom the effect will be literally the opposite of "help[ing] to create less down declare huge gaps." 

Am I missing something? 

Score from military units deeply needs to be increased (something similar to the old score meta) to counter-balance it at the same time and punish idiots sitting on max military for no reason. But I guess that Alex, Prefontaine and the rest of the community will need a war to realize their mistake, as usual.

It's the entire score formula that needs to be reworked, not just city score.
