Suggestion for change (war)

Hey there everyone. I'm posting this in General as opposed to suggestions because I just wanted to hear what everyone thought.

As you might have noticed, Simcountry isn't exactly bustling with activity on most planets. While the game in general has noticed a downtick of activity, it can be especially noticeable on the most populous planet, White Giant.

I believe what it boils down to is a lack of interaction between players. Simply put, I believe there are too many barriers to get into the war game for most of the player base and the risk simply outpaces the benefit. It's costly, it's very much learn the hard way and there is virtually no incentive to getting to WL3 anyway.

"But your most Imperial Majesty, why don't you just move to a War World?"

Because I enjoy a level of asset security. Call me 'casul', but I like knowing with certainty that my main country will exist when I

I agree White Giant offers too much protection in regards to empires. I think you should expand at your own risk and slave states should always be at risk. War levels are outdated.

There is a reason for the war levels. Lets just say a group of people mastered the war game in the galaxy a long long time ago. Before it was kill or be killed. There was only the battle of the fittest. The weak economic players begged the game gods for mercy. The weak economic player asked the game gods to intervene. At the mercy of the Gods they gave the economy player the war levels. The nuclear holocausts of the past. The forgotten ratio active lands that the New empires stand today. Only a few players still in this game know the greatest battles ever fought from forgotten civilians. So be careful what you ask for. There may still be those warlords in the game today. Be very careful what you ask for. Those war levels are in place for a reason. Just a warning from a player who has returned from those times. Don't give anyone the chance. Trust me. You want war levels removed kiss some empire's goodbye. I was a economy player turned into a warlord

@sirsmokes

The proposal wouldn't allow this. Or at least the complete wiping of people. It just allows conflict to actually happen on White Giant.

Economy players can exist, they just cannot have large empires without zero risk and would have to upkeep a defense for slave states. That's all that is at stake here.

Would Empires be at risk? Yes. They should be, In my opinion. The Leader of said Empire would still have secured mode as some level of asset protection should remain. The secured mode would still exist. As it stands war is virtually impossible on WG unless both sides mutually agree. Only a handful of players are even at WL3 and there is little incentive to move to WL3. Not to mention how difficult a task this realistically is for new players.

War Level can stay in some form, but it should be removed as a requirement for PvP. As long as the Empire Leader has the option to stay out of the war, aka

Unrestricted warfare on fb. Space would allow you to move all the military you want to fb. So your empire on one world could supply your war machine on fb. Thus leaving any other world safe.

SirSmokes, I don't think you see the problem I'm trying to solve. What you describe doing is something that I specifically outline as being bad for the game overall.

I don't want to move to FB or LU. I don't want to have to pay 30GC extra a month, on top of my Enterprise, to experience war content. I know you 'can' and that's what some players are forced to do because the option for war really doesn't exist on the most populated planet. Every other world SHOULDN'T BE COMPLETELY SAFE unless it is a peaceful world. I want an option for war on other worlds that isn't FB or LU. I think this is manageable and allows the war game to happen without the risk of being wiped.

FB and LU shouldn't be the only planets that warfare occurs on and as it stands that's pretty much how it is. Having more nuanced worlds makes far more sense to me than telling players to pay extra so they can fig

Warlords don't exist any longer Smokes. That's a horrible unsubstantiated rumor.
