Don't be hating on my Singapore-buddy

I did lol tho

Long gone are the days we need to micromanage 10k gc and stuff and every 1 building mattered, and every 15 gc saved due to upkeep.

(I miss those days though).

Now people just want accelerated growth and to move on into the round.  So question ....is there a particular reason why end is such a scarce resource?  Or is it one of those things that was done 12 years ago....and has just never changed.

Also mixes up the dynamics a bit, allowing strategizers to start thinking about some new ways to start off the round.

Why would you want a total for units?

The one for buildings is good, cos sometimes I use it for seeing if i'm half built, and also working out percentages for Tax Offices and stuff.

Units though ....each individual unit type is already totaled.

gj on getting this started ....thought we might be deleted from mafia fam due to inactivity script

Thanks A little appreciation goes a long way   But yea, that's not entirely fair either.  I was gonna make a thread soon, but Elro and Pie been doing a lot of work behind the scenes.  Pie infact taught me a lot to get up and running (and I still need his help).  Pie is very active at the moment, but he's working on stuff behind the scenes.  And Stefan is showing an interest in helping and doing stuff too (which is the most exciting!).

Also the mods are feeding us the info of ideas and bugs.  There's a lot that goes on that doesn't really get noticed.  Elro, for example has done some new work, which needs a little more effort to get implemented.  And Ps, when he was around, for example he redesigned the Mod Interface for the Mods.  Not something you'll see at all, but something that helps the mods a lot.

So yea ...team effort   Sorry if I'm potraying that I'm doing everything lol - it's definitely not the case.

Some attackers purposefully don't pay upkeep to help the econ of a fam.

Why punish their attacking ability as a result?

Heyyyyyyya

Agreed!  And I thought of this too when I was adding the link.

My concerns were though:

a) I wanted to just get it out quickly for people to use

b) If we have a "Tools" page, that's essentially 3 clicks to reach the System List Tool (or others), if you're on another page.  ie, HQ (Click 1) -> Tools (Click 2) -> System List Tool (Click 3).  Tbh, I already find it annoying to have to go to HQ to go to the tool.  Ideal would be to have a link to this Tools page, straight from the sidebar - but obviously that requires modifying those, which we're not going to do atm.  Ideally, later, we'd maybe like to make it so that the System List Tool can be used straight from another Family's Family Page.  That way with one click, you can generate the list.  Nice idea imo, but no eta on delivery for that just atm

That's right, you asked for it, and you got it!  Due to popular demand, you can now generate System Lists of families in your galaxy!!

This tool can be accessed from your HQ page, where you'll find the link "System List Tool".

This tool is typically a VIP feature and restricted to those with Premium Accounts, however! ...as a special promotion, it will be available to all players for 7 Days

Enjoy!!

I don't think it's a problem with # of fams.

The problem lies with the # of players.  There's so few players now, that it makes it hard.  If you increase fam numbers, you have to decrease the size of the fam.  And then that warrants a whole lot more issues.  For example, if you get a couple people active and the rest are inactive, the fam doesn't have much chance.  On the other hand, if you have a few active randoms + full drafts, then you've almost got a super fam that just dominates everything.

It's an age old debate of fam size vs fam numbers.

Either option doesn't really work well.  The only thing that solves it imo, is get more players -_-

Edit:  Well, I see the fam size atm is 14.  That's fun to play in, but it could probably come down a bit.  If it was reduced by 3, that's 3 more fams you could have.  But like Genesis said, because it was Stay in Family last round, they can't change those kinda settings.  I mean, they can with a reshuffle, but then that brings a whole lot more complaints
