What happened to SimCountry? (Little Upsilon)

What happened? This place is a ghost town. No one is in chat, no one is bickering in the forums. This game has turned into an economy only game!
Lets stir up some action people!
Where are the wars we once knew? Surely there is a way to fight wars with all the new changes.

Are ya'll scared or something?
Message me and lets get things going the way this game should be played!

New information must be assimilated first.

im a new player but im here and up for anything really, im trying to fix some kinks in my country right now but soon i should be able to do some wars, or somthing to that regard.

Crafty did it.

It's the fuckin' war levels. You can really only go to war with C3s now, and despite all of my attempts to get a world war started, it just doesn't work.... GET RID OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WAR LEVELS!

How eloquently stated...

You war players should be deploying sneak attacks. Imagine a situation where 100 different countries across all SC worlds are hit with coordinated attacks on the same day...

That would liven things up and I'll even build some ammo corps to assist in the ensuing battles. :p

Imagine a situation where 100 300 different countries across all SC worlds are hit with coordinated attacks on the same day...

Haha time to dig out my rusty old nukes and have a go at it! W00T nuclear apocalypse, here we come!!!

in the attempt to create a game with no losers, we've ended up with a game, with no winners

Josias..... I couldn't have said it any better myself! That is perfect statement, pure genius!

They need to get their heads out of space and come back down to sim earth. Whole game is messed up including the ridiculous 'free' and i cough 'new' players in chat. oh all returnees of course. ha ha ha ha ha or so they say :S

I lobby to keep free players out of forum except beginner's thread and out of chat period. May cut down on some of the nonsense. :-P If peeps wanna create new accounts to harrass paid members, then at least let's make em pull out the credit cards and pay for it!!!

If you want more war build more ammo company
no economy no war no weapon no war no ammo no war

Well if you gave me 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count I'd say, War Levels.


I mean honestly, mathematically, and clearly (not including freeplayers that quit every 2 weeks which they include in their hits per day) we've lost alot of great players including LDI Jason, Serpent is trying to get rid of his countries, lots of people thinking of leaving..


My resolution is a Board of Players with ideas both good and bad Like Elite security Council, where we meet with Jozi in a chatroom and talk about things, and ppl bring their issues to those players as most keto, lorelei Blueserpent, Serpent, Myself, etc, are all very knowledgeable of things that are going on since obviously these updates are only getting ppl MSNing me better $$$ prices for their accounts..obviously, they arent helping as far as long time players sticking to help, and the players i spend MY time on in chat helping with the game ARENT staying bu

can some 1 please tell me 2 things wen u order arms dose the amount of stock it says u hav dose that include deployed weopons 2 an allso dose ammo go dwn even if ur nt at war coz iv ordered a lot more ammo than iv got could sum 1 please anser 4 me as no1 seems 2 anser these things id b very greatfull thank u in advance

Mr. daniel oneill

When weapons and ammo are deployed, either in units or garrisons, those weapons and ammo no longer appear in your country stock. Also, when you have units or garrisons they use a small amount of ammo as 'practice' ammo per game month.

How about we organize several world wars? Maybe if we show them that we can overcome their war level BS, they'll finally get rid of it. Here's what I'm thinking: on each planet, we create several mega-federations, with at least 20 members. We make 3-5 of these mega-feds, and have everybody sign the war treaty. They all get their war levels up to three or four, then turn off protection. One country declares on another, the war treaties go into effect, and the more experienced members who have nukes turn the game into five radioactive dustballs.

That's more likely to prove to the GMs that war levels work and persuade them to retain the concept, than anything else.

jo, are you for or against WL? i'm confused, i've seen your speak out against it, but really wl are in your favor

From what I've heard, war levels were created in the aftermath of a world war to prevent it from happening again. If we can show them that they were wrong, then they might finally collapse to general consensus.

No, Josias, I'm not in favour of war levels. They have killed the war game completely.

I appreciate what the GMs were trying to do when they brought them in, but implementing war levels wasn't the best way to achieve it. I was playing this game before Secure Mode was thought of and, in my experience, it was a lot more fun then! I don't know why you think WLs are in my favour - I've never been a purely econ player and I'm missing the war game as much as the next person.

The knock-on effect of war levels is that they have marginalised federations and the war game. There are better ways of protecting new and econ-only players and I hope the GMs will rethink.

I think as soon as you own and get to at least 5 countries, there definitely should not be any war restrictions whatsoever. Also I think fighting C3 countries is getting much harder ever since they introduced the damn war levels. The higher your war level is, the harder the C3s become, I can't expand my empire fast like I want to, its just ludicrious.

james, the c3 aspect of war levels is GREAT, that is, once you learn how to c3 raid.

jo, in an effort to not re-open old wounds, i'll leave some of what you said, alone. but you are right, war levels not only dimish feds, but nearly eliminate the political game.

the flavor of Sim Country has changed. its still fun, but the depth of the game has gone. its allot like when Coca-cola came out with "new coke," it was suppose to be so much better, but people hated it, and finally we got "classic coke," war levels have taken away way too much of what made this game great. give us back classic SC

I agree, Josias. The C3 aspect of levels is a very good idea. The PvP version not so.

The best way of convincing the GMs to go back to 'classic' Simcountry is if the players come up with better viable alternatives, which achieve what the GMs wanted to achieve, but more so and without the negative effects that WLs have imposed.

Hugs and respect

I an an econ only player and like war levels.

Sorry to hear war levels has "marginalised" the federation part of the game. @jo

Perhaps as I suggested many times before only players at war level 3 or higher should be allowed into a federation. The number one function of a federation is mutual protection of it's members. How can you allow a war level 0, 1 or 2 player into a federation when it can't protect you? Not right.

And make all worlds a war world over a certain level. Go ahead warmongers and knock yourselves out.
