Hi Andy,

this will be great for new guys!

if I understand correctly after support is gone new players need to live on their own as they should be able to build economy that will move them forward during this 60 days time.

I tried to calculate what it actually means:

TimeGame monthsTotal 1 Month worth
Support mode60 Days3609000 B25 B


I estimate that players need to build economy which gives 50-60B income to feel at least the same way. What I can actually see in new guys finances is that they struggle a lot after support period to achieve this level of income.

I took two new highest rank players in FB to demonstrate how much they are making:

as you can see their income is about 20B without bonus and the cost is already too high. I read this as their costs especially defense

from what i remember, when i played last time some 10 real years ago, you went to FB after you made an economical backbone on a peacefull world

FB was not designed for countries to be self suficient in the beginning and also FB was not designed for complete newcomers

maybe things have changed idk

War levels have pretty much made all the worlds identical. Boring and peaceful.

In the past the initial protection of few weeks was enough and war was regulated by limiting number of attacks per time. There was no difference in economy abd you always need good economy to wage wars.

I put this message to inform players about the current status of the beginners support.

In addition, there is also anther form of support, adding cash to the beginners country, the "beginners income booster", making these countries profitable. This form of support goes quite long and the amount added decreases a bit each game month.

Vladia, It may seem that the amount is smaller but its purchasing power is much larger as the pricing of many products.
The cost of the army, both weapons and ammunition, has declined at least 50% in the past months and it keeps falling.

In addition, a beginner will be able to purchase countries for 30 gold coins, down from 300, hopefully later this week or next week and it will be possible for free p[layers to fight more wars and conquer more countries.

War levels 4 to 7 will become easier with the next upgrade and building an empire of 4 or 5 countries gets within reach for

The main differences between FB and the other worlds is in the protection from war.

On FB, there is no secured mode for your main country, or any other country.

Temporary war protection is possible at a higher cost than on the other worlds and it is not a long term option. maybe when you are away for several days.

War can be declared on any country, independent of its war level , with one exception.

Players in game level 1 and 2 remain peaceful.

We are looking at the possibility to increase the war level of all new countries on FB to WL 3 after an initial period of 60 days.

War levels are now much less significant on all worlds as most limitations on wars between them have been removed.

Peaceful player need these low war levels if they want to remain peaceful and we will keep them.

War levels above 3 are not important.
we could remove them.

The only thing war levels keep d

giving more options for free players is very nice

but also it should raise more scrutiny for potential abuses

This was the reason in the past for us to introduce many limitations.

we are now less concerned about it. we have ways to discover multi accounts and we remove at random so someone might remain with the one day old account while the main account is gone.

Getting more countries at 30 gold coins is just fine with us.

there will be more countries taken but we think that empire players are more active and more successful in the game.

I would love to see that change for FB. It would make the war world perfect. As much as I love LU, I can see FB becoming my new home after a change like that. One world with classic sim country is good enough for me. I promise to shut up about war levels after that haha.

you can conquer level 3 C3 countries now but you go up the levels.

I promised to look into allowing more wars at that war level.

In the mean time, we have made war levels 4-7 much easier and you can now fight C3 countries in war levels 4 to 7 for strategic reasons, much easier than before.
