Country levels can decay based on criteria. Why don't war levels over time? If its been tons of RL time between wars why do I have to hover at 2 instead of going down to 1 or 0?

Simcountry Introduction


Introduction

There are 5 worlds and using space ships, you can travel between them, move products and trade them, store weapon and ammunition on space stations and use them later if needed.

Taking care of your empire requires a good strategy and sometimes decisive action.

Fearless Blue is a War world where peaceful presidents are not welcome. There is less protection for your assets.

Thank you for your insightful cut and paste.

Not a bit of it explains why one level type can decay and not another but thanks anyways for the tremendous thought and effort you put into that.

War level are a result of war experience and knowledge of the war game.
the knowledge does not decay.

game levels show your current status in the game and having a high game level will result in a high ranking in the game and may earn you gold coin awards.

this should not be based on what you did some time ago but must depend on your current position in the game.

War levels increase from War level 0 meaning if you start brand new on a world since the war levels were introuduced you would be a level 0 on all worlds. if you have not had a war since the changes, and show up back at an old country you were on, you can simply ask the GM's to reset it, but even if you declare a c3 before requesting this, it will be denied. for example: I used to war Alot on LU and GR, but when war levels were introudced they allowed me to reset both of them. :) Though I still think they're should not even be war levels on FB. It's Fearless Blue - The World War. Not the "Fearless Blue My name is Maestro and I'm war level 0 and own all of your economy" FB has never been about economy. the economy was, well.. War. it seems, the ideals of FB got lost with the war level concept, though the any war level about 3 is an improvement, but I'd like

i gotta agreed FB needs no war levels
If they going to stay it should be.
1-7 PvP warring, once you it level 1 you have 30days to prep for war and apown becoming war level one you FB nation should be gifted with 15T cash to promote you to buy weapons. All nations should be 20M in size, and your main starting nation should begin with 100forts.

----------Past memories-----------

I first joined FB back before the war levels. I remember meeting smokes and him pointing me to some feds. I remember asking serpent, keto, budman for help asking to be in feds hoping to learn.

After my protection i was attacked i built a 30M pop nation and it was taken. I was kicked off FB.
Did i give up no. 2years have passed and im a very successful player on SC. My account is several Q in size and im by far no "Vet" but i know im close or on my way.

I think the GM forgets that being able to be decced as a new has a massive e

Didn't I call it from the rooftops. Nothing will ever satisfy you asset raiders. You wanted war levels, you got it. You wanted War level changes, you got it.

And now you want more? What after they give that? And after that? How about after than. And even then, after that; then what?

For the record, I don't want to make anyone's life 'hell' with any style of game play. It could be argued that having to play in fear of being asset raided from an experienced vet, and/or group of players looking to have a lul could be characterized in the same way.

What I did was to be left alone, and make a point, I won't be trampled, silenced on a forum or bullied in the game simply based on your number of players allied with you and/or how many assets you have. Why take the balance of the game away? You all group up, and put up tons of air defense that it would be plain wasteful to try and take down, and smaller players ha

War levels protect players who don't want to play your game from yous and the groups of yous. <!-/Quote-!>


Agreed, they do. That's a good thing, in my opinion, on the non-war worlds, and a bad thing on the war world. There are better ways to protect new players on FB, and in my opinion people who have no intention of playing the war game, at least by defending against it, shouldn't set up on FB, and the rules should disincentivize doing so.

Maybe from you, specifically, but not from others who wish to play the c3 harrassment style of play, which other players adopted in the past and easily could again. A player of any war level can pay for war protection for their well-stocked main, then

To sum this answer all up in a word: Impossible. This is why we have war levels...

And Jojo, you stating you do not wish to play the war game until this is addressed solves half the problem already.

This issue was addressed and I'm pretty sure you were in on the conversation that led to the current system of war levels, which did in fact, address the situation.

You are threatening to take your ball and go in the house instead of letting everyone else play because you cannot get your way? How surprisingly juvenile from a player of your stature. Unbelievable.

I remember many a brilliant economic player being banned for stomping their feet a little too loud, or leaving the game of their own accord for presenting a sentiment similar to yours, 'my way or the highway'. If the same professional stance were taken when you all whined your way into war levels, we wouldn't have war levels, nor this resounding chorus of dissatisfied players.

You all made choices on that thread and threatened to le

No, it's not impossible. It's possible, as I described above.

Oh, wait, I see...they prevent YOU from raiding noobs! That's why it's "impossible" to play your old game. You can't raid the low level players on shabby pretexts any more! When you say "these people know who they are", you're not kidding!<!-/Quote-!>



Jojo, are you implying that I am jumping up and down and whining for war levels to go away If you read more than the threads you litter you would know the opposite to be true.

I say what I mean and I mean what I say. There was nothing in my post up there that wasn't clear. I was against war levels from the start, still am. What I am growing tired of is players making suggestions and then pout like children when it doesn't get implemented.

The poor threat you typed, and many statements like it, were what got w3c to put war levels in the game.

BTW, I like that phrase "delusional conclusions".

Why is it so important to see the game remain steady?

i like jozi's old answer...

"[16:47] [@Jozi] we can take some time and discuss on the forum but everyone should realize that too much war protection is diminishing the war game."

War levels are what exactly?

@Jojo

Stability is what retains players. No doubt w3c may have scored a bunch of new players but have gained that in exchange for a loss of likely %80 of the knowledgeable player-base. I don't see how substituting long-term players with free accounts and a few new members that quit, ever becomes a working business model.

I have been playing for 3 years now, and I really don't want any more changes. I prefer to dance with the gal I started with.
