Eh, there's a bit of excitement if your enemy isn't that good and you have a fighting chance. Getting stomped with no chance to resist is a far less exciting. Plus, war starts wearing out over time and when it draws out too long then even that gets kind of boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fight in war for a few weeks, and eventually the excitement from it starts to wear out a bit, then you have to peace and keep yourself occupied with rebuilding your warchest and nation. Then the boredom sets in again when you have to wait six months for the next global war to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanderlion Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I'd send Roq rage messages if we ended that early. I'm hoping for at least 2 months, we've barely touched the surface of the whales, and there are still bad guys above my nation score... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longest war was 69 days, a little less than 10 weeks. Trail of Tiers was 49. A "few" weeks was just a conservative way of saying it.

It’s a problem with the game that it fails to offer much of anything, because the only interesting thing that happens in this game is the rush of excitement you get for the first month of war and spending the rest of its duration waiting for some kind of treaty to end it, and then waiting several months for another war to happen.

That's political stagnation for yah. Nobody wants to plant knives in backs or pull any whacky maneuvers out of left field. Half the game is politics to anybody not deep into FA it looks pretty stagnate as hell. I mean, how many people are expecting a round... what is it,4? 5? Between IQ and syndi after this. We really should just erase all treaties and start from scratch with spin-the-treaty-wheel. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be dope though, having ones' allies and enemies assigned randomly? We should actually DO that at some point.

Yeah, but I'm not necessarily saying it should be permanent. We might try something like a modified test server tournament where people sign up and then are randomly assigned to alliances. We could actually do that ourselves, without admin needing to do a thing; we'd just somehow need to avoid swarms of alt accounts interfering with the test server while registration is enabled and there's no official tourney on.

Prefontaine Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I've mentioned the idea of Orbis Kickball. Basically select a few alliances to be team captains and they take turns pick alliances to be on their team. Sadly UPN will be that kid picked last 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
