Vosunda Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Gotta love it when your naval attacks do more than a nuke. You ordered a naval attack upon the nation of Glangevlin led by High King Malichy. The attack was an immense triumph. Your forces lost 0 ships, while High King Malichy's defenders lost 0 ships. You used 1,125 tons of munitions and 750 tons of gasoline executing the attack. The attack destroyed 954.84 infrastructure in the city of Eshveagh and destroyed 0 improvements.

Administrators Popular Post Alex Posted March 26, 2018 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2018 These changes have been proposed, discussed, and tested for somewhere between 4-6 months. I spent about 5 minutes looking at the Discord changelog and what's displayed in the in-game changelog (I could go back further to find the first time it popped up) to show proof these changes have been in the works for a long time, and I've been getting feedback on them for a long time. If you're upset about these changes, I encourage you to take a more interested and active role in offering feedback and testing proposed changes in the future.

Reducing warfare damage in the game is beneficial, imo, because it means that the stakes for going to war are less and it's quicker & easier to rebuild. While I considered giving the defender in a war 100% damage while the aggressor could only do 50%, I did not think that would really be fair, and also it would really discourage aggression, and war in the game is a good thing from a fun & activity perspective. 13 Quote Is there a bug?

Sheep fricker made the independent survival of our group infeasible because whether its EMC, Coalition, or IQ, all of them outnumber us by massive amounts and conventional fighting cant stop that large of a disparity. We tiered ourselves out of reach of IQ, but short of sitting out of the larger metagame for multiple years to get all 80 of us GOB sized, couldnt do the same for either of the other groups. Im not sure if you noticed, but our bloc was built this way prior to sheep fricker making it irrelevant. Additionally, my "flexing" was done because stupid !@#$ decided naziism was ok within their ranks, and it was dealt with several times by fark in a conventional manner. The nuke stockpile was always meant as a deterrent for this kind of war where an EMC could hit us, because they would have to pay dearly for smashing us. Now they pay half as much. You just discovered that in this type of games having more players makes you stronger (if they are active and not dumb), congrats Now please notice that ordinary halved infra damage for both sides, I did the stats for TKR in the first day and both sides did a similar infra damage so stop complaining, your nukes did half of the damage compared to before the update and our attacks did the same, so just nuke for more rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I get where you're coming from. Your strat has been nerfed and theres nothing you can do about it. I get it. However you can't blame Alex for your lack of allies or ability to effectively war. Also you said before that TKR/TCW/Guardian only hit you guys now because of the update, I highly doubt the update has anything at all to due with the timing. Most likely they're just rolling you because of how unlikable you are as a bloc, on top of there being no real threat to them since the other major powers are fighting each other. 1 Quote Officer Nasty reporting for duty.

kosmokenny Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Seriously, youve taken away the only means a smaller group had to defend itself from the much larger spheres in the game. So kill of our sphere, turn the game back into a two sphere system where nobody does anything besides occasionally pick on IQ, who are too far beneath the other groups to do anything to them. Great work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I think what is fair? If your attacker nukes you for 50% damage, I think it's reasonable that the defender's nukes do 50% damage as well. I didn't implement this change overnight, we had months of discussion and testing before these changes went live, including more than one test server tournament where the war mechanics were put to the test in a gameplay situation. I could leave the game the same and stop updating it, and no one would then ever complain about having to re-strategize, but I think that would lead to the inevitable death of the game. I think that things like this, sometimes 2 steps forward and one step back, overall make the game better and contribute to its longevity. 14 1 Quote Is there a bug?

Maybe look at taking losses on the defensive side or using conventional warfare to fight back in defensive wars and use your offensive slots to go crazy with nukes and bring your opponents to the negotiating table? 6 Quote Is there a bug?

No, it wasn't by stockpiling nukes. Its called not being toxic asshats and making everyone hate you. Look at Roz Wei. Look at t$. Look at Guardian. Look at CoS.
