Like two players can't attack a c3 together. That sucks. Ironically, I was going to do just that... |
| Parsifal (Kebir Blue) | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 12:48 am
sorry Tom, you waited too long buddy. |

How does reducing the military unit size make war cheaper, or require less weapons? Doesn't that just mean we'll have to make more units to maintain current defenses/offenses? |
| Josias | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 02:26 am
i'm with wendy on this one, lol |

in what way does reducing the military unit size change things. Forgive my naivety! |
| Garry Freeman (White Giant) | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 02:31 am
The explanation given by the administrators wasn't all that clear! |
| Homerdome (Fearless Blue) | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 03:13 am
I fought a couple c3 wars and it will save money, so its a good thing, For example, the wl7 garrisons and ints wings are also lower. It takes less bombers now to take a c3. Like, instead of using 1000 bombers, 900 will now do the same thing. |
| Open Sesame (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 03:29 am
/me gets mah hopes up
Less bombs, too? |
| Homerdome (Fearless Blue) | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 03:49 am
Actualy, apon further inspection my garrisons have droped also, example, Garrison blueprint calls for 802 weapons. deployed weapons at 100% for cities is 722. Why lower the amount of weapons in the garrison when they dont exceed the max number of weapons( which is now 1611)? Even after redeploying, it pretty much says it already has 100%(722 weapons) of the blurprint "Cities" when in fact 100% of the "Cities" blueprint has 802. |

Just to clarify. Reductions in military unit size are a part of this change. We are slowly reducing all figures in simcountry down to more realistic numbers.
This change will take affect over the coming months and should not negatively impact anyone's potential to wage war.
We do intend on bringing back the ability to attack c3's together but while we are working on a better way to achieve "Co-op c3 wars" we have decided to block it for now. |
| Noproblem (Fearless Blue) | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 09:41 am
I guess Military uints means garrisons are smaller too.
For a real war, this means many more clicks as there will be many more units to have the same defense. I hate the changes too. Why can't we decide what the size of the units should be? |
| Jonni Gil | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 09:49 am
If we were to half the size of the units, that would be compensated by doubling their effectiveness in an engagement.
In essence nothing should change. except the number of weapons per unit. |
| SuperSoldierRCP (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 10:32 am
Jonni thanks for the fast reply.
A few things i(most) people talk about is the lack of communication from the GM. It be nice if you mentioned your plans(like this last update) so we can discuss and let you know if its the right move.
I don't know if you know but it easily costs 1T + just to get your starting econ off the ground. The extra money is nice because a lot of news use the remaining 4T for continued buildup of index's (They do buy population which means more index's). Also they used it for corps(100B a corp). Some might use it to expand there empire, Some use it for loans. But 5T was a nice number.
Also when you stop people from making corps on other worlds but FB you dropped the price? From 17B to 10B(Sub Nukes). Wouldnt you want to increase the price? Thous people who have it on the world that don't make it make them worth more? What you did is say this world has to buy it from another world but it only costs half the price? Wouldnt you want it to be more not less? |

"If we were to half the size of the units, that would be compensated by doubling their effectiveness in an engagement.
In essence nothing should change. except the number of weapons per unit."
But the game news says the effectiveness has not changed. Assuming that will be changed in the future, is that going to change the effectiveness of both offensive and defensive weapons? If costs don't actually increase, how does this make any difference? Players will obviously adjust and make more units - which means more clicks...
Or are these effectiveness adjustments only for the defense? |
| EC (White Giant) | Thursday, August 18, 2011 - 09:20 am
OK...so maybe......not likely....but maybe I understand why multiple players can't dec on a C3.
But, now we can't even use more than one of our own countries to dec a C3????
GM's can we please get this block removed soon? At the very least we should be able to use more than one of our own countries to dec. |
| NiAi (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, August 18, 2011 - 11:48 am
I concur with EC. Atleast allow nations of the same empire to dec same c3. |
| Tom Morgan (Kebir Blue) | Thursday, August 18, 2011 - 12:39 pm
I also agree.
If the British Isles were at war with some random country back in the 1850s, you would expect their empire to follow suit.
Sorta common sense. |
| Gothamloki (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, August 18, 2011 - 02:43 pm
Agree with EC. |
| Quetzalcoatl (Little Upsilon) | Friday, August 19, 2011 - 09:13 pm
I agree with EC and everyone else above about letting nations of same empire dec on a C3. |

2. Cruise Missile Batteries, Cruise Missiles and Sea based Cruise Missiles [ top ]
The trading in these products will be moved to two different space stations. Cruise Missile Batteries are already trading on the Corona space station. The trading in Cruise missiles, both land based and sea based is already possible on the Lepus space station.
The trading on all world markets will be stopped. Contracts and direct sales remain possible.
This change is a further move of trading to space stations. It will take place on August 30th.
More weapons and ammunition types will move to space stations in the future.
For players who are not participating in the space game, we will make sure that all the products that are needed for consumption in the countries or for the production of all basic products, will remain on the world markets.
The trading in space products and their special components, future space weapons and materials will be placed on space stations. Also the trading in products that are not essential in the game will be move gradually into space stations.
---GREAT MOVE GM--- |
| Crafty | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 09:33 pm
Yeah, great, soon you will need to maintain a dock at each and every space station. And remember the solar system is expanding soon.
Disable the requirement to have a dock to buy products in space |
| Crafty | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 09:36 pm
Oh yeah, and yes I agree with EC entirely. |
| Dave | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 10:14 pm
Yeah if we are going to have to tade in space disable having to buy a dock to buy things |
| Keto (Little Upsilon) | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 11:28 pm
I agree with EC also |
| Gothamloki (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 12:54 am
Minimun requirements should be a space center and enough shuttles to transport back and forth. You should only be required to have a dock to store crap if you cant transport it all at once. |
| EC (White Giant) | Monday, September 5, 2011 - 04:39 am
Bump...
Tommi...any chance of lifting the restriction which only lets us dec a C3 from 1 country?? I thought I read somewhere where you were gonna unblock this for us.
Thanks |
| Crafty | Monday, September 5, 2011 - 01:59 pm
Tommi has now announced they are working on a space transport system, run by the players, which looks like a good solution to the owning a dock to buy problem. I just hope its not so expensive as to cost as much as owning/renting a dock.
Eddie Stobart watch out, here I come! |
| Noproblem (Fearless Blue) | Tuesday, September 6, 2011 - 01:49 am
It's less expensive to lease, which is what I did.
Bought some stuff and brought it back. This is going to be really cool someday! |
