Administrators Alex Posted March 18, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2015 This is a small update, I know, but one long awaited. You can now change your alliance name for a cost of 3 credits, and only if you're an alliance leader (highest permission set). It has to be between 2 and 38 characters, you can't name it "None", you can't take the name of another alliance, and only white space, letters, and numbers are allowed. Same restrictions as before. The feature will show up on the donate page if you're the leader of an alliance. If not, you won't see it. I know some of you don't have access to PayPal, or a credit card, or for some other reason can't purchase credits. The good news is, now that they're tangible, tradeable commodities, you can likely buy them from other players. Enjoy! EDIT:I've also made a slight change to Color Stock Bonus. There is no longer a 10 day waiting period before an alliance affects color stock Nations on a color now increase the bonus 50% more Alliances that count negatively toward the bonus must have more score than the #1 ranked nation's score Beige nations no longer count towards the all nation score The new formula is: MIN((COLOR NATIONS*3)/((ALL NATIONS - GRAY NATIONS - BEIGE NATIONS) + (COLOR ALLIANCES^2 * 200)),.1) 1 Is there a bug?

Arthur James Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) as there was a cheaper choice, I would prefer that one. This one is good for established alliance ====================== Yayy, Color bonus gave me money to buy Candies for children but why minimize the conflict? It is bcos of the conflict which encourage mega alliance and at the same time the history of conflict within established alliances gave them competition in enforcing the colour......CONFLICT IS A 100% Good thing! Option 1 and 2 is good. Option 3) Easy, noone would get a nation score greater than 2000 at the moment Option 4) This is the reason why should be happen in war btw 2 parties. Option 5) No idea of what it is, but the equation seemed giving big alliance higher bonus than those which are lower under the "average" color bonus.

It was broken from the get go and was being abused even though I told you it would The rest of the points: Garbage. All you've done here is do the exact opposite of what the color stock was supposed to do. And now, the "popular colors" will have even more people flocking to them. And now, the alliances on them will care less, because the little micro alliances (like Justice Department) have no impact on color score. You've basically negated the entire color stock system of having any chance to create drama, and boosted money for no reason for the "popular colors"... He's right, I'm such a stinker.

Richard Smith Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 About the Color Stock: The Color Stock Bonus percentage in the Revenue screen is not the same as the Color Stock Bonus Percentage in the Leaderboards. I don't know which of them is affecting my income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atzuya Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The color formula doesn't seem to be right on yellow. There are only three yellow alliances that have more score than the #1 nation, but it count it as 4 alliances... The ,.15 part is somewhat redundant with the 10% upper limit, though.

Keegoz Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Can we just scrap the colour bonus system? It has been flawed for some time now. [11:52 PM] Prefontaine: But Keegoz is actually bad.

Sephiroth Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ay. Personally I dont like the new changes to the color stock bonus :/ you basically over powered the colors with very large alliances or very popular colors and people that are interested in their bonus from color will flock to those alliances..............
