Popular Post Ivan Ivanov Posted February 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2019 I propose that we introduce the ability to declare “friendly” wars between alliance members. These friendly wars will not do any real damage to either parties (military units won’t die, no loss of infra etc.), instead the program will show you what damage you would’ve done. Besides from no damage, these wars will behave just like normal wars, with MAP production, wins and losses, and resistance loss. It would be a good tool to help alliances train new members about how to properly war. 6 4 Quote inb4 new spy operation “Plane Hijack” This is the 21000th post in this subform and I'm fine with it.

Jarles Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I get the intention - Military drills. This is already possible for those who REALLY want to experience and try out the war feature - Join the test server and wage war without consequences! To learn proper warfare though, you need more than a few friendly wars. The actual blitz, the stress of coordination along with other vital aspects in PvP wars. If you just want to try out the war mechanics, and learn the very basics, find a shitty micro and run it over - There are LOTS of them! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, who cares if they die? If new players, who declares on them with the main purpose of experiencing the war feature and get some basic military training, ends up killing them, im sure they won't be missed.

Perhaps only alliances who have a treaty between them? Sort of like a nation RIMPAC (except for full war)?

I'm personally not a fan of gameplay that has no game effects, but i do understand why you want something like this. But how do you intend to simulate real proper wars, which is needed if new players are to learn anything from this, if you do not lose units or infra etc.? Then it will just be useless attacks, where you won't face the consequences of your actions, or experience the scenarios where your enemy got the upper hand against you. It will just be single attacks, that leads to nothing. I don't see this as good military training, and because of that, not really think this is something i would encourage.

Because not everybody aims to kill them in quite that manner, and it doesn't make very good experience for anything but face rolling people who won't fight back. Also for this to be really good it'd have to essentially create a clone of the nation to fight the simulated war so that it can take simulated damage that doesn't affect the real one Edited February 5, 2019 by Akuryo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want proper war experience, fight a proper war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
