Well you dont need the military empires that there used to be. Cost of offence compared to defensive is still about the same, its just smaller numbers.
But the issue would be war levels. You and Matt couldnt prevent any other fed from having a member more than 2 war levels below you or below WL3 from moving right next to you, then the fed could storm into you with remote bases. Like wise, you cant help a friend if your WLs dont suit, which is where it all fell to bits.
WLs were a good idea to limit noob bashing, some people were getting out of hand, but the idea was badly implemented, a far cry from the original concept. And they also prevent inactives being raided as most inactives havent achieved WL3 or above. This is why you dont see the sort of competition that you are talking about Yankee, damn shame really.
In fact, now I've started, ok, so the GM wanted a lot of fresh blood here, nothing wrong with that, I'm

Nah crafty im no where near a snob and im agravated too. Free membership's destroyed the game and other changes ahve made this game just crazy. Thats y i hit u up, im ready for a change but its a while to go. Dnt even care if im banned from talking about it anymore but mostly everyone knows what im talking about it. Shit just aint realistic anymore.
Well it's not just changes in the war aspect, it's become a rather disappointing game all around.
I could go on an on about problems with this game keeping it from being even close to what made it popular, but you guys are already well aware of what you don't like.
And the past is the past, what was will never be again. I came back determined to give it a year but, I'm about ready to go back to what I was doing.
Was an interesting break from what I was doing but looks like that's all it is going to be

Dear Crafty,
Re Chat: "I'm not a snob or trying to be intellectually superior (I fear I may be coming across like that) but its like playing chess with your 8 year old child now, and changing the rules for him/her so he can understand it."
Surely, noooooooooooo, surely you dun mean all my shoe discussions. (BAWLS) I'll try to keep my shoe topics on a more intellectual level. :P
Yours,

Lol no. Shoes are surely a sophisticated topic of discussion. Great new Avatar Lorelei.

The shoe style in my avatar is called "The Lorelei". A bit of simshoe trivia there. ha ha ha ha
