Voting: Merging Re-Thought (Kebir Blue)

Here is a proposal I posted:

I have re-read some of the merging discussions and I have a new idea. It makes sense to allow merges, but something needs to be done to balance this. I recommend that if you merge all your territories, the country score that is counted is then an average of ALL merged territories, not just the leader.

Further:

This would allow players to build strong countries, not one territory with a sea of dependencies. Keep in mind that this would be an option, and would potentially give you the option to name your Empire while still having different names for provinces.

Surely the only thing this would do (except for the ascetic nicities) would change the individual country scores, everything else is already an average of all your 'provinces' or slaves.

Most people build high scoring mains with their best economies there because they are always in secure mode (or WP on FB) and dont have the burden of military expense and the workers can be more productive.

These are the countries you would get awards with, the only reason for having a country score.

So, no, I think your idea is not well thought out and cant vote for it, maybe you're just a bit new to the game? sorry if that's wrong! but hey, good on you for voicing what you consider would make the game better. Good luck.

I think that your reasoning for not having this proposal adopted is precisely why it is a great idea. Instead of hiding behind war protection with one country and then having tons of slaves, this allows you the option to continue this OR amalgamate.

And with respect to the averages, that is currently not the case. The two countries I run are both very similarly managed, though one has a significantly larger army. Beyond that, they are quite close in terms of development, but the scores are different (off by at least 10 per cent)

The averages currently determain your game levels.

It would probably take alot of work to script merging/spliting and get the map to recognize a partial boarder then make it transparent. Map customization and war map would probably have to remain the same.
several mechanics would need altering and or balancing.

You can yap about this all you want, but W3C isn't going to do it. Mostly in this case, they're right because this is a stupid idea.

Are you stupid?

Morons have wanted this for like ten years, and it hasn't happened, and it isn't going to happen.

I agree that average is used to calculate your LEVEL, but not your SCORE. That is a key difference.

Also, this removal of borders would allow you to have increased labour mobility, avoid shortages, and share services in adjoined areas.

And Hymy, no need to get all defensive ;)

make war harders, allow massive land empires, keeping index's high harder, requires more planning on education priorities.

Not being mean the ideas not new in fact ive proposed it myself as have maybe 2-3dozen others every time the GM shoots us down so don't debate this or wish to hard for this

They would basically need to scrap the entire game and start over.

I'm not being defensive at all, I just tire of losers proposing stupid shit. I'm just telling you like it is.

I'm growing tired of losers like you. You constantly insult people for apparently no other reason than you're a loser. "You're not a loser", you say? My offer from months ago still stands. hymy1 you're still spewing your utterly pathetic insults from a single secured level zero war empire. Why do you even log in. Your crappy azz one country hasn't done anything significant in months. What gives you the right to call someone a loser?

Anyways, I'm willing to place my cash on you just being a snot nose crap talker. Maybe you need to crawl back into the hole you were hiding in. If not come out to play. Or keep talking, just hold down the insults on undeserving players. Coward.

hmmm.....? sounds familiar

It's a long game miss honey, and you don't want to play with me.

No? And why would that be? Are you any scarier than anyone else with many more 1's and 0's than you?

I don't care who you were before you began hiding behind the name hymy. I actually hope your some old successful veteran so I can kick your scroungy, no empire having azz right off your high horse.

You talk big to the newbiez. But why won't you tighten up and expand and I'll prove your a hot air balloon waiting to be popped.

I count 3 clear and open invitations for you to play with me. I'm on KB and you've had what a 6 month head start. Your country manages a whole 4 gc a month in profit and you've been playing for 6 months. Should I be afraid? If your finances are an indication of your war skills... I don't think so.

and you don't want to play with me. <!-/Quote-!>

Psssshhh... don't make me lol, cow

Add another rule to the SimCountry 10 commandments. The 11th rule, unofficial, but more important the rest.

#11. Don't get hymy(ed).

"You know... That thing when hymy1 talked himself into a raw azz whoopin. Yeah... DON'T get hymy(ed).

:s

Why is it e1 that returns feels the need to come back in disguise

the main problem I see with merging is not everybody's countries are close together
how do I merge 2 countries that are not even on the same continent?

Couldn't this just be solved with a spruced up Empire page, that paints your countries on the map, similar to the continent region maps that paint in countries with/without/soon-to-be-without presidents; lets you name (and flag) the group, similar to common markets or federations; and gives you all the controls to transfer funds, people, equip., etc? And provide unified control over all armed forces and such. It would be an upgrade but nothing that's not possible. And the game can use the update.

I've been back only <4.5 months, and I'm not in disguise.

I didn’t even remember my return in 2011. Wow it didn’t go well.

Very angry urchin energy.
