Topic: *** Changes for Capricorn Round 8!! ***

Okay, now we know this was much awaited, so here it is!!  The changes for Capricorn Round 8!

We now feel that there's no reason to keep things the same round in and round out - so we're going to be mixing it up a little now and then!  Just to keep the variety in play!  Anything that is not working well or has massively negative feedback, can be reversed - so worth a shot, right? smile


Family Set Up
----------------

Family Size = 9 Players
Draft Spots = 2 (VIP or  Friend Draft)

(Approx 45 Fams in the gal with this number)


Alliance Set Up
-----------------

Tri alliance is back!! 
- All 3 fams must be allied to each other
- No chain alliances allowed.


New IA Rule
--------------

This round we will be trialling a new rule:
'Fams can only change allies in the first 2 weeks of the round starting!'

We feel that this is an interesting change that will help allies to work together better.  Choose wisely in the first 2 weeks, and be prepared to help each other out through thick and thin!!
Alliances that are made after the 2 weeks of round start, will be in breach of the IA rules and leaders will be blocked as a result.



Disclaimer
------------

Keep in mind that we are trying to mix things up a bit.  We will be trialling this set 9/2 (9 members, 2 drafts) set up for 1 round.  If it does not work well, we will change for the round after again (Means a new reshuffle).  If it works and players want to try another round of it, we can easily do it again.


Feel free to discuss here! smile

Re: *** Changes for Capricorn Round 8!! ***

I think its a good change. Since my return to IC a year ago ive been disappointed with alliance cooperation almost every round. If your tri-alliance doesnt work well together be prepared for a long round.

I like the 9 member familys. If we look at most ofl the current capri familys you will be lucky to find 9 active players on their roster. 9 players makes it a whole lot easier to plan infra too.

I like that we are changing things and keeping the game fresh from round to round. Good work mods big_smile

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

Re: *** Changes for Capricorn Round 8!! ***

Also look at any given family and the roles they have. How many bankers can a large family keep interested for an entire round? We would all love to have 6 bankers, but passing them all planets evenly and keeping them growing evenly in today's current family bank strategy just doesnt work.

With different time zones amongst us and activity levels it makes it even more unlikely to keep it even. And alot of familys invest heavily into their most well defended and active banker. the less active bankers are simply farms waiting to be harvested. They are often nothing more than a gateway into your core.

I think smaller familys make sense in the long run. IC is beyond it's peak now. Large familys almost have to be a thing of the past. A large family that gets good, active randoms is gonna dominate a galaxy easily. We have all seen it time and again.

Love it or hate it lets all at least keep an open mind about it and see how it plays out. If it doesnt work out, we can try again. It sure beats playing the same old set up round after round hoping for a different result.

Re: *** Changes for Capricorn Round 8!! ***

looks good but i agree more drafts. keep it at 4 drafts

if you get stuck with liabilities and cant bring your boys is kinda sucks and will just end up with players waiting to delete to get there friends.

this will end up badly with only 2 drafts honestly

if you keep it at 4 drafts i believe has the making of being a good round smile

Re: *** Changes for Capricorn Round 8!! ***

A random vip doesn't take up a draft spot.
Decreasing it to 9 players is good for competition but not if 5 out of 9 are drafted. Ruins the purpose.

Re: *** Changes for Capricorn Round 8!! ***

tobes:
before you draft people in talk to the mods they will let you know if any draft spots have been taken.

4 drafts is now to big its just to much dominance in one family. More drafts give more power to a family. we need to equal out the power.

Also 2 drafts + founder equals 33% of the family already, thats enough for control of your fam.

Re: *** Changes for Capricorn Round 8!! ***

Erm sounds mostly ok but I would just like a little clarification.

If you haven't sorted out allies in the first 2 weeks,  should you ally after that time you will be blocked!!! or will have to go allyless for the entire round. Is that correct?
