Give me 18 simultaneous wars!! Yesss!!

Should create a new 18 wars achievement if the proposal manages to even get passed by the Design team. Because I will definetely need it once I manage to defeat all of them.

Yeah, this is a really bad change. 3 defensives should always be the minimum. This would be an end to wanting to put together a blitz. You could only get 2 attackers on a target in a blitz and if you go more, you have more defensive slots than your opponent, so the blitzer is at a disadvantage. Slots in the game is fine. The bigger issue is still the same challenge of there being no incentive to win wars to cycle. And I'm not sure how this deters nuke turrets either. If they get that many more people countering them it's just that many more targets for them to nuke. 

People nuke turret only because there is no other valid strategy to war as a solo player. This only makes it worse. Want the end of nuke turreting? Make an interesting war system, dont just change random values, hoping for the best. Also nuke turrets arent even an issue. Small nations dont get nuked, whales can afford to get nuked.

There should be projects like Pirate Economy that give you more slots for defensive and offensive. Everyone would have the benefits of this post but seeing 9 low c tiers attacking me as a mid c tier would be hell.Also having 9 nations blockading you I can't imagine that

While the idea that I can only get hit by two at a time in a blitz is slightly appealing, it also means almost no hope of winning up-declares against whale tiers. You need three coordinated offensives for some of those. Two isn't going to cut it at all for some of those.

 

Also the idea that YOLO attacks, or even infra shaving endeavors, could have have 18 wars at time? That's a hard pass.

 

Edit: But this would have been awesome way back in the day when I was interested in infra shaving to counter raiders.

Better idea would be to instead of defensive slots to offensive wars have defensive slots unlimited up to double a nations city count.

IE : C50 would be subject to being in defensive wars with nations up to 100 cities max, so 3 C33's, 2 C50's, 5 C20's etc. 

Honestly I thought about this weeks ago too and didn't say anything since I felt my idea here was still stupid but Alex decided he was gonna go full chromo so I'm just putting it out there now as food for thought.

Thats more work than they can handle.

I dig the goal here, but this change would do the opposite. Would be a huge nerf to raiding, filling your slots opens you up to getting jumped by like 5 to 7 guys depending on your projects.

And theoretical since it's not like it'll happen, but a smaller group trying to declare on a larger one would need to declare more than two offensives per person, thus opening up the third slot and opening them to a counterblitz.

I'm not sure why someone who hardly interacts with the game beyond begging for donations and seemingly proposing stuff where the slightest amount of thinking shows that it'd do the opposite of what it intends to do keeps making these adjacent reality proposals. At this point it must be a social experiment of his.

I can see this being the death of piracy, which I know some will be in favor of, however, piracy is what keeps the attention of a large amount of the player base. If a project could be made to off-set the amount of defensives if this goes into affect, I personally could see this working and be a fun way to shake up the game some, but scaled  like this would basically end raiding entirely, or it would force raiders to target the micros without prots that this change is attempting to aid, since micros would be the only aas who might not have 5+ people in range to counter at a time.

I get the idea and why it’s trying to be done. But it honestly would be a big nerf to raiding both in peace or war. It doesn’t give any incentive to use your max slots that you have (5-7) because the monetary reward wouldn’t be worth it.

This would hurt raiders and new players and just boost top alliances even further
Raider alliances or players would have to fight fewer wars for less gain or risk the usual 5 raids and hope 5 counters don't come through. It also makes the pirate projects pretty useless besides the 5% bonus and should be changed if this is added

Additionally
A better idea would be to have member caps (100?) for alliances so member quality and relationships matter far more than just having a lot people which would in turn be allowed to fill all these new war slots coming about

I'd consider myself new and this just confuses me as to where the idea came from or how it'd help the game.

I think it'll have the exact opposite effect you hope it will Alex.
