Mickey you may want to look at Gazi, between me and anthony we have killed about 64000 of his troops attacking and defending, not that unusual but he joined on the 29th of September....

Maybe someone else have been sparing to his account... ummmm....

mercenaries... same case with _Atreides_

Mickey: are you aware of the problem with the World Bank and game balance? Zero chance for new players, really

Lukepuuk · 09-30-2005, 06:18 PM

Although I've never seen so many players join in as today. Not just in europe and asia, but in the US too.

set a time limit for the bank giving like say you have to play for two or three days before they can give money to someone else

CianR · 09-30-2005, 09:47 PM

It should be say at least a week before funds can be transferred. No-one will earn enough Geos within a week to really need the facility to transfer them and no-one who joins, within a week(as an example of a time period; perhaps even longer), will generally earn the right(or the trust of the top players) to be the receiver of 100's of thousands of Geos as has been the case lately as, for example, with the attacks on Europe . . .

Everyone likes a game where the new players have a chance and the old players don't hold all the power . . .

PS - This game rules!

No way!!

Official or unofficial, it will continue...

It should do too... Only in this game, only one particular group achieved success... This is a problem which will eventually be solved...

Lukepuuk · 09-30-2005, 10:03 PM

I don't know if alliances are fair for newcomers or isn't.
They will happen whether the option is there or not.
New Alliance was an alliance before the option was there.
And is trying to help newbies get in the game by giving cities to them and protecting them for a few days.

Though I do agree that the first 7 days you can't get any money from other players. This for multiple accounts.
I don't think it will matter a lot to players who are used to this because they will have several accounts already.
It's not easy...

Regarding the game balance issue, we need to limit the earnings from the bank (maybe some luxury tax, anybody has a better idea?) and introduce some better wealth management simulation elements. Current situation, where capital increases exponentially in the bank, should not go on. Good strategy players who recently joined the game can with the current rules do nothing to catch up...

As an urgent measure I would decrease the interest rate to 2% and limit the bank deposit to about 50000 Geos (hence 1000 Geos of daily earnings). That would give us more time to improve the game while still having fun and competition playing the beta.

You know, this Atreides guy has really pissed me off because I've lost over 20,000 troops to him (and am going to lost another 5,000 in a wimpy attempt to weaken his army) and my alliance has lost 50,000. And when you factor in lost productivity, I'm out by nearly 2,000 geos and my alliance by between 3,000 and 4,000 geos.

Is it worth it for me to keep playing when crap like this happens? This is the second time now, and I don't think I'll recover this time. I've been playing this game for over a month but I think that unless it balances to be a bit more conducive to fun and fairness rather quickly I won't have anything left to play for.

Lukepuuk · 10-01-2005, 01:51 AM

We lost more then a 100.000 to atreides and still you wasted troops on us just now

Lord Uberdude himself lost 50.000 against him and he keeps on playing.
But don't be angry at us for retaliating for your attack on us

Corporal · 10-01-2005, 01:54 AM

What are you talking about? You retailiated against palau and I'm not even in the EU anymore.

Lukepuuk · 10-01-2005, 02:14 AM

He attacked JRL4887 and you attacked anthonywitt. So both.
