Topic: 35% family Rule - WOrked

IMO....one of the best new rule introductions in awhile......the farming and bashing that has gone on for awhile has almost all but stopped......guys can play thru till EOR and still plan for jumps and not worry about getting raped or farmed down the stretch......

Hat's off to those that came up with the idea/concept.....I personally think it's a great adjustment in game...:)

Re: 35% family Rule - WOrked

The idea behind it (what you just said) works good indeed. But it affects more aspects which also includes some down sides.

Like, last week my fam was too big to even clear any family that was not top 10. :\

Re: 35% family Rule - WOrked

would work alot better if it was based on size - would mean small fams dont need to hold back on building infra and therefore support smaller fleets.  the amount of sub 10 rank fams fighting each other has been reduced. basing 35% on nw basically makes its better for a fam to stay small, now where is the fun in that ?

Can't have everything...:) Before as a small fam you had nothing to help....now at least there is a strat you can follow if your family is perhaps NOT as active or loaded as the big boyz and still have a good round.....a single player can become very large and still be protected from farming even if his NW is comparable to the big boyz families assuming the rest of the fam is relatively small/inactive.....so a good player can still have a good round and enjoy themselves....

Re: 35% family Rule - WOrked

25% attack limit on small NW empires is one thing, but why does the moral loss have to be effected exponentially as well?  If a low planet count empire jumps fleet, then there should be no negative effects against attacking them.  Never during a war or if the empire has attacked you 'after' the fleet jump.

Moral loss goes down from 39% before the attack to -32% after I attacked.  I cannot phathom the reasoning in this issue.
