Is that for real? 120,000 planets for 576 players averaging out to over 200 planets per player.. WAY over the top, they wont ever finish expo phase X(

IMO 3k is about the maximum..

Other than that i cant realy comment since im playing pw tongue

Re: Merger Mistakes

i think they might try to make the systems smaller (not sure if its within the power of mods)

It would be more fun for attackers that way, less traveltime, bigger area to fight over.

<@Nolio> Ilu was the man back in the day,he even made monkeywrench and arganon look good for half a round =p
<@iluvatar> it is my grandest achievement
<@Nolio> *half a round  =p
<@iluvatar> still
* Final_Doom is now known as Thanks_Iluvatar

Re: Merger Mistakes

lol keep in mind that this is a testing round more or less. We'll make adjustments after seeing the round play out

Sex without the e is still SX!

Re: Merger Mistakes

when i jump off a building 10 storys high i die. thats for sure. so i dont need to test that out either, theres also something called commen sence, so imho 12k is way to much.

Colorado: even in the 11/01 war i made more hits.
Colorado: 447 blow jobs.
Big Gary:  Only a fool cannot admit when he's wrong...
AW:    i love rim jobs
RisingDown: I know you do

Re: Merger Mistakes

not if u have a parachute !!! but yeah way too much, halve it imo.

<parrot> there is also the odd  possibility that tryme is an idiot
<KT> possibility?
<genesis> tryme is a bit of an idiot
<Torqez> bit?

Re: Merger Mistakes

no!!! i want more planets!! lol... maybe it like 20000000000000 planets...

Re: Merger Mistakes

Whats wrong with 12k?
Just means people wont be able to mass-build their infra as much.

I would be more worried about the 120x120/6 sectors bit.
That spread out, alot of people are going to get it rough -- and others will get it easy. So already its going to be an unfair playing field!

But anyway, as Nolio said its only a trial round. Things will change after it.

Re: Merger Mistakes

im just glad ICC is here so i dont have to mess with the testing phases

I am the flail of God. Had you not created great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

Re: Merger Mistakes

its 120k planets..

6k systems

it needs to be knocked down to 60k planets, 3k systems and thats maximum imo..

more wars etc with planets around that level


Also i think the sectors should be lowered possibly theres just too much space.. maybe if they made it 80x80 or 100x100 it would give more fams a chance to fight smile

Re: Merger Mistakes

2vips 2drafts sucked. I was really pissed off when we couldn't choose how much vips and drafts we wanted in that vote. Just if we wanted 2vips and 2drafts. Not giving other options is against democracy X(

Everything to gain

Re: Merger Mistakes

/agrees

Re: Merger Mistakes

that may or may not be so, but who ever claimed IC was a democracy? tongue

NEE NAW NEE NAW

Re: Merger Mistakes

What idiot decided 48fams when u are merging two galaxies? theres 55 fams between them right now and i guess your assuming nobody will switch galaxies or comeback to play as well.

“I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

Re: Merger Mistakes

while there is 55 families atm, they r never fully filled in the normal galaxies...

The mods want it to be as full as possible, if there is any leftovers there is always pw wink

Re: Merger Mistakes

who wants to go to noob central? In any case their should be some free room for people joining the game either from virgo or comming back as i said. And its not like both galaxies have a over abundant amount of empty spots either.

“I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

Re: Merger Mistakes

Yeah...people...its NOT 12k planets atm...

its 120k !!! FFS, anyone can see that is way too much. Even with 50 filled fams with 20 players a piece its still like 120 planets/player. And thats if all ONE THOUSAND players are active enough to seize their 120 planets.

If anyting is gonna get the field unbalanced its the combination of extreme planet count and huge map. The big families will get nastily huge. And small families will remain small families.

wtf...

~ If I treat you like an idiot, it most likely is because you ARE an idiot ~

Re: Merger Mistakes

Families: 48 (576 players)

works out to around 200+ planets per player wink

FAR TOO MUCH!

Knock it down to 2.5k systems with a map side of 100x100

smile

Re: Merger Mistakes

Agreed -- too many planets.. that's insane.. This is MW, not PW... and that's  even excessive for PW!

RIP IC, you were fun while you lasted hmm

Re: Merger Mistakes

no.. more planets = better... are you guys stupid?!?

Re: Merger Mistakes

more planets means less war, more infra whoring

thats bad and boring wink

Re: Merger Mistakes

Nolio [i love you, your not stupid, and my insults are way to show my true feelings]. U must of been on one of your retirements when we last played with super planets a few yrs back to see what a disaster it was.
With ic being around for 8 yrs u dont sit here and say its a " testing round" [my love]!.
I remember when in mw the top fam might finish with 2100 planets while the 10th ranked fam finished with around 950 and 30th ranked fam still had 350.
I also remember having so many planets that i got tired of building on them and just donated planets to other bankers.
Big gals were proven to have less wars and way more infra building and huge savings for 1 pathetic war at eor while all top fams rape the small fams.
1 of the top 3 most fun rounds i had in ic was when m00lar reformed in Andro and the gal was so small we were fighting from the 2nd day till the last week while being #1 in size by a huge margin and i think we might of hit 2k planets. Our bankers had 70-130 planets and it was just way more fun. Of course we dident go around napping everyone either.

But hey what do i know, I mean only 90% of ic players playing 3 yrs ago were almost begging for less planets because the top 5 fams were being over 3500+ and thats sad.

R12 in mw our alliance won and i remember it was the 1st time an alliance had all 3 fams finish with over 3k planets each. With huge gals u will have 2 if not 3 alliances with over 3k planets and the top dog finishing with over 5k+ if not more.

But lets do a testing phase:)

Re: Merger Mistakes

cause PP knows everything and has done everything and is soo great that we should all just listen to him always...

PP you're retired, go away... i thought we didn't have to listen to your dribble anymore...
