General

The war game in Simcountry is an important part of the game and has a high priority in our development plan.
In general, the introduction of new war features is intended to insert more dynamics into the war game. It will be supported by high gold coins awards for war winner if the wars they win are real.
Some of the planned features will make it possible to measure the seriousness of the war and make a better decision on the award levels.
Currently, a new tutorial is being developed that will lead new players through a first war. It will show how to declare war, how to start attacks against a C3 country and it will end when the war is won. We are already making sure that new players have at least one free country next to their own country. It will remain in a reserved state to allow new players to run through the tutorial.

Many more war functions are planned and will be developed and added to the game in the nex

No.1 Well I think the Auto Response Units is a terrible idea as PvP warfare will truly come to an end if implemented as it will be almost impossible to take over their countries, well thats my opinion of it.

No.2 For the nuclear weapons making them more powerful will be much more realistic and reduce the speed of production in the corporations where they are made at by half for such weapons. Also I also think if you made all the strategic weapons on the open market twice as expensive than they are now I think you will have the balance you need on this game as the big players on here will definitely think twice about bombing smaller and weaker players so easilly as they'll be more difficult to obtain.

No.3 Also The Rebel Army - Mercenary Army sounds like an idea that could work, but the question is though for example, will someone at war level 0 be able to attack someone who is at say war level 4? and most importantly will there be a l

Someone in war level 0 will not be able to attack a country with a president. This is not possible now and remains the same.

Auto response units will not make winning wars impossible but will make sure there is real fight.
night time attacks while your opponent was asleep are easier but unrealistic. wars should not be conducted by one side only. P v P wars used to be P v nothing wars. Today, even P v C3 is more realistic.

There is currently no limit to the number of units. mobile units are like other units so why the limitation?
Mobile units are like other units with several advantages like mobility, usability in any of your countries in all of the worlds, no impact on your work force, they can be traded as units between players and they can cross all borders.
Disadvantage: They are more expensive.

Temporary war protection will decline with more countries involved in war.

#1, james, W3C beleives that if a person works hard enough, they should be able to have an undeafeateble country, with out actively firing a shot.

but, the C3 war tutorial, is something that over the next few years will change the demographics of this game.

historically, many, many, MANY, players have quit when they couldn't take their first C3. and often when they ask vets for help, they are told to sell all their weapons. and ofcourse leave for a game they can actually have fun with.

giving new players a step by step guild. i can testify, that will keep around allot more people interesting in warring. and over the course of time, we'll see a change. as what the over all player base wants will change.

the other changes, are necessary. but a war game with only 6-8 people who really know how to fight... is one of the limiting factors of war in SC. the tutorial is vital to provide the info to players

If I read correctly, I can participate in wars off world, even without a country? Well done, Sir. Well done.

"Easier to use - The setup process of military units will be simplified"

We need blueprints for setting up units Andy. Would make the process so much simpler

Josias how you doing? long time no see? what happened to most of your countries? and i've noticed you do C3 warring a lot by taking 2 countries a time like I do. Is it that 'good for bad' country you're using to raid countries from? as you're often in the news.

Hi James, hows it going for you?

I took break for 6ish months. Its was getting way to hard to maintain the 4 world war machine. i woulda lowered my war level on a couple of planets, but their no ligit way to do that. so i was stuck with more than i could handle.

coming back, i had 3 countries, 18gc, and -20T cash, with 89B in my account. and wl 7 every where but GR, (which is my lease favorite planet.) I am NOT complaining.

having the 8T in wl7 countries was the only thing that saved my account. it took a couple weeks to hook up with my friends to get a bank role, and buy back a few of my old stuff, like Scary on WG. The current Good for bad, is not my old one.

as far as this C3 raiding thing goes. Well now that W3C is working on allowing every one to follow multipul wars... the trick is to open Chrome, and Firefox, and open the war in each browser and shoot in one while the other is reloading. Its

Rebel Army - Mercenary Army

Any player who owns a mobile army unit will be able to participate in a war between countries by closing a treaty with one of the sides in the war. It will then be possible to transport such units into the war theater and participate in the fighting. This feature will open the war game to CEOs and to players who do not have any countries or any enterprises. Mobile units will be freely traded on the space market.


did this get implemented? does this means you can fight wars on planets where you don't have a country?

With the upgrades to the war game, how about making the special forces icons a little easier to see? At times they are almost impossible to find.

The idea of a rebel army or mercenaries as described in the text was indeed part of the plan but is partially abandoned.

The reason is mainly, that when in war, both parties will have something they can win but also something they can lose.

Having players participate in a war while they do not have a country, does not really make sense.
However, mobile units can be stored on a space station, and moved, traded quickly and participate, they can be used by the warring country but also by fed members.

we think that there are enough features here to use these units in a flexible way.

we are considering the possibility for an enterprise, to purchase such units and keep them in storage. They can do so on a space station but such a feature might make sense.

we will look into the possibilities and potential advantages for Simcountry.

better plan will be to improve the economy and earn enough to build your army.

The fake wars against C3s of the same war level, will become less profitable.
the economy is becoming more profitable.

If this game becomes an economy game that is yet another step to force people away from the war game. On the one end you are saying: lets promote the war game. And in threads like this you talk about actions that are doing the exact opposite.
