I am certainly not a war player, in fact, the first time I played this game a number of years ago I quit because I was trying to lay low and figure out the econ side but as soon as I worked my way up to three (poorly defended, although I didn't realize I was poorly defended) countries a vet player dec'ed me to asset raid. Shortly after I quit the game.

I originally found this game by doing a web search for "economics simulation". Although I am primarily interested in the econ game I have a warring related suggestion that even I would participate in. This suggestion will only interest those of you (war vet and non-vet) who want resurrect a legit war-fed game. If you only want to get the war rules relaxed so you can asset raid the new and the weak there is no reason for you to continue reading.

First, I think this idea (or some mod of it) is a good one because it does not require any modifications to t

Sounds like a good idea but it really is just how things should be. If war experts divided their knowledge out to other players and did not engage in raiding those who had no chance, then things would fall into place like this by themselves.

I personally like the idea of a war tournament better. You decide what countries to put in the tourney, knowing you may lose it. It could be an all out battle royale or it could be structured with a tourney bracket of sorts.

One problem I see with most past suggestions is that they require the game to be re-programmed by the GM, in some cases in ways that are probably not practical. In addition everyone seems to want the re-programming done differently so in the end only a few would be happy with it.

I am not suggesting my idea should be implemented as is, what I am trying to suggest is a starting point for something that does not require the GMs to do any re-programming of the game and that would be entirely voluntary.

My point is that the player base should stop crying to Momma and Daddy to do 100 different conflicting things for them and do something on their own.

Why would this need to be on one continent? FB is nearly empty. Set up wherever you like. Maybe have a certain thing in each country name to identify them as being a part of it.
