however, we still have the different unit strengths, the shorter buidling times for lq/to (i think that was implemented, not sure, will confirm with arsy) and the resource research.

build times wont help

I think all the changes that is being made here is GREATLY appreciated! The changes make an old player like me more motivated and like Primo says: it gives new challenges to the game, I actually think they should make something different every round so that ppl have to change strats all the time and adapt.

Just thank Primo and the mods for merging some families together! I think thats great!

my family had several players murged but they turned around and deleted already so we are right back to the same number of players as befor the murger.

Do ffs man u cant keep changing the game so much that no strats u use one round can ever be used again as the configuration of the game change so much that a good strat for one round wont work at all next round,
Then we wont have any strat specialists no matter how many rounds a player have been here.

"Then we wont have any strat specialists no matter how many rounds a player have been here."

What the hell? Do you even realize what you're saying...? Isn't a strat specialist someone who is good at creating strats and adapting?

The type of person you're referring to, is those people who are good at repeating something that's been shown to them. Quite obvious difference there.

Noir u going to whine about it forever? last round we waited 6 days and got no one before round started and we started round with 10 players with 1 of them we removed while other fams had 13 and I think we managed?:). Round before we were 31st and were active hanging out, we started out with around 7 players and finished with 12 active players

If your fam is atleast somewhat active then u should have np getting randoms over time.

Also I think mods need to start thinking things through more instead of last min decesions. Take stats of how many players this round has early on at max and towards eor. Make an educated decesion as to how many fams and player sizes will be needed for the following round.

Also I rather see capri filled with extra players having to go to pw rather then seeing us here whinning about empty fams the 2nd round after reshuffle. 2 rounds ago they reopened tri briefly, they went and broke their word and reshuffled capri when it dident need to be and were rdy to make 15-20 man fams till I asked them not to and settled with 13 which still made no sense as we just had 12, but it was sure better then 15-20.

I hope after this round they never use old starting gc/resources again, stick to 2-4x normal and do no market every other round. No need to do it every round, but every other is cool.

no market this round with the old starting gc/resources would of made this round soooo friggen boring at the start due to slowness, as it is its gonna be slower then we come accustom to latley. Its alot more fun when things move quicker early on.

Now with the extra 2 days, its gonna suck havign to log onto ic christmas eve and christmas day. Tuesday-friday are gonna be crucial days for any bor strat for fams and alot of people wont be around much, so alot of starts will be slowed evan more, but those that for some reason still log on a ton during those days will have better starts then they would nornally.

Also dont go maken the gal too small, smaller it is with less planets the more small fams seem to give up easier. See how this round goes and u will have 3 rounds of experiance to go by for next round.

I appreciate the changes the mods have done, if they just do atleast 1 change every round then we be better off. Im still after them removing virgo:P

new attack and defense for soliders and droids are implemented in capri??? and where does it say pop banker times were reduced?? these things we need to know
