Topic: 40% Size Bug?

My fam has been super small for quite some time, we have been attacked by a few top families this round while being well out of their range.

While my first thought was some noob must have opped these top families, I have inquired with them and both seem to have no idea as to how they could attack us, just happened to be clearing a system and they were able to send/trigger fleets even though we were well under half their size...

#598 is my family (current size/NW) 776 8502312

been only since yesterday that we were attacked by much larger family (#600 - p-size:1729 - NW:20971699)

Prior to that was a couple of RL weeks ago that we were hit by #603 I think, and we were like 1/4th their size when it happened...lol

Can someone take a look and see if it's a bug or if I just need to mark someone in my family Rogue tongue thanks guys



In Starburst BTW

Re: 40% Size Bug?

This was over 6 planets, and there was 1 failed attack that was then re-attempted...this was not hovering fleets....and no one in my family (that has responded which is all but 1-2) has confirmed no Opps have been done...

Re: 40% Size Bug?

There is no bug in here, just an obsolete game rule that needs to be updated.  In the past we had maybe 100 families playing a round in a gal, by that time the 35%nw rule was effizient bekause the game was very muzh dinamik, big families were in permanent konflikt with the medium families and they had no relaks to attak smaller families, meaning their attakers were busy elsewhere, plus naps were limited, plus families had allianzes, etz... the szenario was another very different.

I think the rule was set at 40% when playerbase went down, but it's been proved to be useless when the gaps between fams grow as the round advanzes.  40% rule works for the very 1st days of a round  (200k NW vs 80k NW) but it should be inkreased as the round advanzes (20m NW vs 8m NW is impossible mission for the small fam).

I posted in ideas long ago a solution to this, keeping the 40% rule as base and then adding an eztra % depending on the stage of the round and the gap between the fams:

However it has never been tried, maybe bekause people hates maths lol, we have no real admin and no developers atm, and whenever we have they kome with their own ideas and dont listen to the kommunity.

Re: 40% Size Bug?

btw I was the one who attaked your fam bekause some bigger fam is demanding planets for a nap, I already apologised bekause it is not my style and told you I wont be attaking anymore.  The game needs its own mekaniks to disallow thinks like that happen again, and needs advisory when you [KOLORADO] are attaking a family thats already in a war to prevent one big guy ruins your hard but fun war by removing your portals in the battle area (just bekause he's bored and has nothing better to do?)

Another idea would be to make the game enforze 24h naps with families that are lower than 50% of your NW, the way if you wanna hit them they a have at least 24h to get ready  (drop their NW out of your range or jump like a zhampion and fight)

Re: 40% Size Bug?

Hehehehe, didn't want to point fingers, just thought it was strange, maybe my maths was off but I didn't think we were close to 40% at that point, oh well we're getting to be big enough to get attacked again now anyway lol... tongue

Re: 40% Size Bug?

it was probably 40% for a few nw, I did not zhek, and anyway you never kknow if the game is taking numbers from the kurrent or the previous tik to do the kalkulations.  It is plain stupid to be worried about NW ranges konstantly in the game when the gap between the fams is big enuf that any "well programmed" game would not allow suzh attaks.

But then I forgot to be worried about NW range and got kleared by 603 lol  that's what making this game an old fart
To hell with it
