make it 60% and even a small and not offensive opp will allow attacks

start of the round = everybody is equal

middle and the end = smaller fams can grow in peace well until they get in range

Agree with 2.

And partly with 1.
Make it count for destructive/hard ops but allow soft/intel ops

I don't agree it is a good thing always though.

It's good for Mw, agreed. But for Pinwheel this could give several 'smaller' families the chance to run off with the size win. Last round (with the 35% rule) we actually just had to stop jumping infra or we would have had no chance of winning size, simply because families were that much smaller. That's no fun. I guess this will happen even sooner now.. :x

Maybe that's not a bad idea. 80% is high though, just a suggestion: 50% net (you have to be realistic, infra has to be rewarded) and 70% planet rule? That wouldn't be so bad on first sight.

SLAM DUNK WAR IS ON! (6656) has DECLARED WAR on us

8    SLAM DUNK WAR IS ON! (6656) [91,94]    1624    14695464    53392

17    Partaxian's will pop your cher (6646) [109,104]    881    4573376    22155

is this even permitted under the rule?

You can declare war on anybody. If you're below 40% rule, then only way to hit you is for them to use sentinel. That would be a lame ass way to farm a small fam, so hopefully they are just removing you from their core.

lol no we had 72hr nap they canceled and demanded 100 planets for perm nap

woa finally   3 years since i first talked about this change in the ideas forum (not sure if i was the 1st one tho).

Thank mods&devs, a slight change in the rules for a big change in the gameplay and the small families' chances, you won't need to up it to 50%
Now top fams will think it twice before doing early naps with other top fams, and it will increase the competition.

now just a question, is this for family NW only or does it apply for players NW too?  because when you agree on a change like this you have to be sure its not a 1 legged change, so yeah 40% nw range should be applied to individual empires too, and 30% range for wars (instead of the previous 25%), and the planets blowup range idk wether it'd be better to keep it at 35% or not

So yeah, great decision to pull this idea into the game   but please make it complete with the individual ranges too

Did that tag ever get fixed?

aleph you are a PUA right ?

agreed with noir, make a radical change, only then u wil see the clear difference, now the rape wil continue, for me id even go for 70% it stops the abuse of that manny poppers in the top fams (read noirs fam ;p)

Its a good change, but i would of been braver with the figure.  Problem is there's so many dud leaders out there just treating others like dirt.  You can amend all the percentages, but you also need to amend the players attitudes.

I didn't say it's not a good thing, certainly for Mw.. But Pinwheel is shorter and thus getting it up to 50, or maybe even 60% could just ruin the fun for the big fams, simply because you get no chance to really push through with infra or everyone will drop out of range. That's why I liked the 70% Psize idea Norbit
