I don't get the idea.  I mean, I get the concept.

But how will it work in practice?

I think the problem is, when Pop banking was dying, the Base rate was buffed from 4% to 5%.

With that, "pop growth bonus" doesn't really even do much.  I mean, I could almost just as effectively pop bank with -30% pop growth.  The bonus only is affected during a couple phases during the round for a pop banker.  One, on conversion and two, on jumps. 

The third I suppose is when you're opped.  A fast pop growth there, really helps to recover pop.

Feel free to suggest stuff!

Yep, I mean...there's a reason Devs have spent a lot of time on fixing the NAP system?  You have timers, warnings, planet agreements, etc. 

Many players have been burned in the past. Is it a perfect system? No, ofcourse not.  But it does prevent at least 'some' underhanded tactics.

I just don't get one thing.

Did 30 have no diplo with 33?  I mean, no NAP or anything?  Or did you have a NAP and was it not signed ingame so 33 broke NAP?

Or if there was no NAP, then why are you guys sharing systems and stuff?  If I was 33, I woulda cleared you all much before, and vice versa.  If ws had a "personal" nap with your son's fam ...then yea, that was uncalled for.

In any case, I told Hydro that 30 is much like our fam (38).  We have ego's too in our fams.  It's just we're the good guys and 30 are all the evil egos

1) We knew, it was kinda obvious.
2) Agreed
3) I think you overthink things on this front - but to each their own (I mean, you only have to look at Tobes' posts).

Really sucks, cos it was going to be a good war.  It could still be, in 2 weeks time though, but not sure.  I'm less upset though, cos I'm not attacking.  Wars like this are awesome to be a part of and I regret not having the activity to be able to attack.  Since I have to resort to banking, I'm less affected.

Best part of this war is the fact we're all mates, and it woulda been a no bs, decent war.  Where attackers just have plenty of fleet to just go all out, have fun and slug it out.

Pity

rofl @ Tobia's comments.  You never seem to stop.  At least you make for some interesting reading - good for entertainment.

Errm, I wasn't bitching?

I'm just defending the Mods, and saying it's not their fault.

Next, people will want mods to intervene and send aid from people who oversleep and miss sending aid/funds for jumping for a war.  Not mentioning any names or anything though (/me glares at Genesis).

And you stole it from another game!!

Math is hard!

@Remo:  It's in Table format.  I agree with you though.  What I do, is just hold ctrl and then click down the one side of planets.  Then copy those.  But yea, it could be better.

@Middle:  Yes, fully agree with that, and I've mentioned it before to Stefan.

30 won't be cancelling...

I have two spreadsheets I use

First calcs best unit composition to jump at EOR
Second is my war jumping spreadsheet, based on savings, attackers, science, etc
