15 fams instead of 20? that way there isn't much of a bottom feeder that someone will random into and go... ohhh what a waste of time.

make the galaxy smaller? (instead of bigger each round...)

100+ averange planets per player is just stupid

or rename the game imperial exploratione

umm we cant change this round much when it comes to fam size and how many families becuz it is a stay in family round

Maybe get rid of 1/3 of the systems, or as was mentioned somewhere a while ago, make each system carry less planets

I dont play MW but the idea is very good for any other gal, make smaller systems (10 planets in each system would be worth a test)

This way families spread faster, a core is soon filled and conflicts come earlier = more fun

ahhhhhhh shyeeeeeeeeeet?

I would say smaller families, more families and less systems (smaller sectors)... there still needs to be clusters of systems because it sucks when the closest system to your home is 2-3 ticks away

Similar Fam size as this round (maybe 10 per Fam) more Systems And 6 Sectors please, extend the round by a month also.

This is for us nerds who like to build, build and build some more... I dont care what the rest of you fags think.

yes WS and force KT to apply all those changes!

@EM it sucks but they havent still fixed it, I was at chat with Ps after that and he found out something strange in the code, like if Adoross had messed a part of it and it's now very difficult to fix.

Just remember people...reducing numbers of systems gives bigger nw differences. Meaning early fast fams will likely be at the top all round. I know u thinking reducing systems will up competition. It will, just early big fams will take it. So if u do...you should decrease round length, which personally I feel is pointless.

Might as well just make a new galaxy to satisfy all those lil guys

And ill be honest...I've played since the start longer than anyone except DR and our lovely inactive admin Stefan. And just as long at that. But I had the most fun with tr-alliance wars. Although the ic community was about tripled then so its kind of not practical now.

If you wanna do all that reduce systems and smaller fams stuff....just make a new galaxy. Plus MW is a stay in fam round, so u should leave that alone.

But I do agree wardancers should be changed. And maybe add a race or 2. Give us more options

Hmmmm, from what I saw, there were too many naps and too many families going inactive afterwards. It just seems to me that it would be more viable to increase the number of systems and planets so that growth continues. With the way IC is nowadays, there are always going to be only 3-5 fams tops competing ftw. 2-3 alliances top gunning for the top 2-3 spots. Nothing you do will change that.

Increasing the number of systems will make it easier to find targets because as of now, if a family with 1k planets loses a war to a family with 1300 planets, the bigger fam will probably want 200 planets for nap payment. That's only 20% of that fam's planets which isn't a lot tbh, but considering how cores play a large factor in the way a round goes, that will likely end a fam's round because there's nowhere to expand.

Having more systems and more planets promotes smaller fams to keep growing and allows bigger fams to get shares with each other. And it would also be great to go back to 2.5 month rounds but...I don't think that's realistic anymore. Too few players and too many pnaps being made these days.

I would also consider adding a draft or two or make the fam 50% draft. I never really liked the idea of having only a couple of drafts. That was a lot more viable when there were more active players because then superfams get made. These days there are so few active players and families that you are better off having more active guys in active families. For example, look at 5060, h4e's fam. They got hit hard early on and never really recovered. But I bet in a MW with more systems and more drafts they'd probably be right at the top.

But with the current set up, you're going to find more people bored because there's nobody to fight and nowhere to explore and the people that they want to fight, they have no way to get shares with them anymore.

Reason why we need a shorter ephase is for years fams have basicly infrawhored themselfs into nr1 spot.
As this is a war game you should have to fight your way into nr1 spot NOT infrawhore to it !:S
