Topic: Andromeda! What's wrong? =o

Hey guys, Andromeda has been extremely dead for a long while now. I won't say dead, but more unconcious. What do you andromeda guys feel is the problem? We put some umph into MW, PW still has that swagger, SD has an identity again, soon Draco will be the shiznit, what can the mod team do to help andromedans enjoy the galaxy? big_smile

Re: Andromeda! What's wrong? =o

15 fams had 5 players or less when round started. So the round was already dead from the start!
Why so few players??
- it was mid SD and i think ppl prefered to focus on it, especialy the ones farmed each round in Andro that for once had more than 20 planets.
- Andro has lot of nap breaking, IA, vulturing, farming, vendettas etc...ppl are fed up to invest time to soon or later be screwed by the same ones each round.

The solution could be to make Andro smaller in number of fams in order that evrybody can play in a full fam especialy the ones that are never drafted. And that a new code of honor comes, cleaning the game from the few ppl making the others leave the game...

Andro is more lively (for me) than PW has been the last few rounds.

Psychogenesis / Baracus / Coco

Re: Andromeda! What's wrong? =o

Reduce nr of gals and reshuffle members into the remaing 2 in the same manner as happend at end of round 5.
Dont make so many gals but make BIG gals longer and rounds.
Bring back 20 member fams and bring back 3 alliances.
iIts better to have fewer gals and better gals then several and not as fun to play.
Once these few gals start to work well perhaps fewer ppl leave the game and more n00bs stay on.

Re: Andromeda! What's wrong? =o

2 weeks no attacks/ops tongue

add more systems/planets, a couple fewer fams, spread starting positions out


allow only one deletion per round.

This round especially i saw alot of people playing in Andro deleting to join other gals that were just starting again. There is no commitment to seeing a round out and improving the family.

The best aspects of the game are disappearing rapidly because of this. If you checked those fams that had only 5 people in them when the round started you would probably see enough people joining and deleting to fill the fam, maybe fill it twice.

Re: Andromeda! What's wrong? =o

With the current round about to end, you have the choice of staying in your current family, or having your account deleted.
Your current choice:  Delete my empireStay in family 


apparently nothing will be changed next round...
Fam ranked 15th in size has 9 players with 3 players having 1 planets.
At least 3 players usually fam leading retire from the game.

RIP Andro sad

Re: Andromeda! What's wrong? =o

naps should be illegal wink

it's a war game tongue

WARIO

Re: Andromeda! What's wrong? =o

lol well no galaxies will be getting scrapped. So you can forget that:p

Especially since Andromeda is weaker in terms of skill and activity anyways. The one deletion thing isn't possible based on the fact that then you couldn't delete from SD or Draco.

About the nap thing. Well I think that's more so for you all to deal with. Nap breaks are in reality a strategy. Osama Bin Laden was cool with bush until he decided to break the nap! And the fact that you all sign naps with ppl you don't know you can trust is really your fault. I don't do naps when I lead. Unless I killed a fam or was killed by a fam in war.


Shortening the amount of fams? Well there are like 30 fams I believe. So you have the standard "Top 10" then you have the 5 fams that usually have the potential to break the top ten. So that's 15 families already. And atm there's about 12 players in each family I think. with half of them being vip and draft spots. So 30 fams I'd think is sufficient but maybe reduce it to 20?


Combining MW and andromeda isn't really an option because MW is definitely more aggressive and we don't break as many naps as you guys do which I find strange given the level of competition lol


But anyways, keep talking guys. I want to try to bring some life to the galaxy.

Re: Andromeda! What's wrong? =o

Yes it's a war game, but naps are part of the war. Never ending wars would make some fam raped to the bone, players delete etc...

When naps are cancelled in relation, no attack should be possible during 48h, like that nap breaks would be impossible.

Same 2-3 players break naps each round, they are pawned each time and delete when it happens.
Some say that nap breaks are part of the game but i'm sure that these 2-3 players made leave the game to at least 50 ppl.
Andro has like 50 active players, 100 semi active and rest are inactive.
At end of round a bunch of active players leave the game again.
So next round will be even more inactive, some active will become semi active, some semi active will become like inactive...that's wow Andro is dying...
