We're working on a compensation so that pop banking is a decent option, but the way it stands having a pop banker in your family ruins your morale.  Unless you're either operating under the idea that you're going defensive (completely valid method of gameplay, not sure why people hate it) or you go into it planning to kill pop to get a morale boost for fights...which would also be completely valid.

See all other iterations of "It's not our fault that you keep trying to play with this system the same way you did the old system."

You build a system that makes pop bankers crappy. I guess the system isn't crappy, just pop bankers, right? You should have had the foresight to have made a change already. The strategies involved in war now are asinine.

Why?  Not long ago it was pretty standard to kill pop on a pop banker before doing a jump to boost con bonus, why not do it before a war to reduce morale costs?

Why even bother with pop banking at all under this system? We both know it is being looked at and changed so it clearly is a bit of a foolish setup atm. Hopefully you guys make it make sense, but my outlook is pretty grim regardless.

Change nw of pop to 0.0001 that should solve that issue smile

real war can only be done at BOR now the later you leave it the less u can attack when your up top, regardless of whether you have close nw or not.

(this isn't true, it's all about the % difference between families/players.  A 10% difference at huge nw and planet count is the same as a 10% difference in a small nw and planet count)


ANNNNDDDD...

this one here. lol where to begin.

the majority agree Planet count is what determines the actual winner (which peoples opinions might change with this new morale and seeing small fams being able to hold large sums of planets quite easily) and from my view atm on this war attackers in 67 although are smaller in nw wont be come war time. they will jump to destroy shares etc etc. thus increasing morale to hit said 66 who will counter by probably jumping attackers and dropping infra for EOR to retain planets and haemorrhage any losses to the ridiculous shares they let 67 have. it has become standard gameplay for EOR wars now for fams to demo infra to retain morale and make attacks harder for other fams to gain planets from them... and finally how long these people have been saving for I doubt they would run out before the end of next round!

all for maybe 100 attacks that will happen in 24 hrs.....

A cancelation notice has been sent! Attacks may begin in 48 weeks

and the countdown begins.. even tho 66 has a major amount of savings and the help of 72(clearing shares from us with 66) should be lame anyway oh well I'm done after this round anyway.. lame ass players with lame ass game mechanics lol yup.. oh well GL to parties involved

Re: 1967 vs 1966 (Real War Coming)

Yeah its on like donkey kong big_smile

Glad to be honest as we finally get to do something with this war fund which has slowed us down loads over this last few weeks.

Nice move planning the start of the war at 4am UK time.... I can't imagine why that time was chosen.

So, how many planets did 72 take? Was it very damaging? Anger-fueled rants aren't very informative. Can anyone explain to the rest of us the magnitude of what happened? This was supposed to be a huge war and has been hyped for so long. Did one side realise they were going to lose or what?

Re: 1967 vs 1966 (Real War Coming)

well its like this.. the night of the 22nd. at 11pm scorp clears shares with us vs 66.. then wen we message him he says he didnt want us to hit them.. he stopped after he cleared majority shares of us and 66 that he shared as well.. then when we canceled.. he hit Acrid for about 50-60 planets.. costed us a nice pretty penny in iron production then cleared other people as well.. as the ticks were counting down so i talked to 66 about what was going on and we no longer care to win the round or any such thing.. so we agreed to NAP and pitbull wanted to kill 72 so thats whats happening now.. ruined our EOR fight.. believe it or not it would of been a interesting fight.. they had about double our iron we had more cash about 6bil on the market at time.. not sure what was going on in scorp's head when he attacked but now i can assure u he has our attention..

Well, that's a shame... I hope the morale issues don't set you back too much, but 72 look to be in a good position to take advantage.

Wonder if 72 will come back saying it was retal tongue
