Who invited TYMO?!

Orange=UD comments.
Keep in mind that there could still be adjustments made in the future.  This was a major change, and there was only so much we could test based on theory/mod testing.  Once we see it in action it's possible significant adjustments will be needed to maintain balance.

Questions I have:
- When is morale calculated? Upon sending fleet or at the moment of attacking?
[Answer: at the moment of attack] You will get an estimate when sending the fleet, but morale will actually be deducted at the moment of attack.  This estimate may not reflect final morale loss as it calculates what the morale loss would be at the time the fleet is set.

- Is the max morale gain still limited tot 10 / tick?
[Answer: The cap on morale gain is unchanged at the moment, but it is on our list of variables to monitor and adjust accordingly

- Does the failure rate of ops still increase when doing multiple ops? So higher failure rate when morale is low?
[Answer: ??To my knowledge the failure rate was not adjusted(yet)

- Can we have paragraph in FAQ / Guide about the new morale system?
I'm hesitant to do this before this round is over as some of the variables are still fluid/subject to change as necessary.  We can keep track of questions asked though to get an FAQ ready to go once everything is set.
- Can we get 2 examples of morale loss in the old and in the new system?
        Reference case 1:
        War       
        Attacker: 1001 planets, 4,2 Million NW
        Defender: 210 planets, 2,6 Million NW
        Morale loss in old system: Between  -2% and -4%
        Morale loss in new system: ????
Theoretically this can be done, but again the key factor will be that the NW of the families is taken into account now, not just the statistics of the individual player.  If this isn't done before I get a break at work, I'll put it together

We're actually about to implement some big changes (like...within the next hour or so when SB ends) and we'll need something close to a standard round so we can gauge whether or not adjustments will need to be made

(This would actually make sense.  Short SB round and regular SN round to get galaxies back where we want them to be time wise)

We'll have it up as soon as possible, hopefully we'll be able to do the reset pretty quickly, just depends on how smooth adding the new code goes.

Equality is extremely important for a successful modern society.

Also, as a note.  Illegal alliances are completely legal this round.  So if Colorado decides to douche out on all the small families again, I expect a 7v1 against him.

And we're in the midst of taking action to prevent this, as it ruins the game for the few newer players that show up.

Yup, silenz is dead.  On the plus side there are a few similar tools built into the game now.

I got to the part where you put lower in all caps, then stopped reading, as will any other professional this is submitted to.  Caps-lock = bad

I believe we're developing IC 12.5 currently.
