Was wondering that to Maestro, thanks ! To bad they couldn't put it on the old.. i perfer the old better.. perhaps just because im used to it. Now if the GM is seeing this.. it may raise concern that something needs to be done.. What kind of reply is "test.." ?? is that saying it is an overall test of war levels? testing to make sure posting still works? not sure robocop.. please elaborate.
While you wait for a response, I doubt you'll get a sufficient one until after new years. You can check out the 4 links I posted on the New Years thread. Pretty funny stuffs.
I read as much of the war levels thread as I could stand to and I just wanted to say some of you seem to want to put out the fire by throwing gasoline on it. When reading most of the "new ideas" I immediately thought "If implemented that will make war even more difficult to wage" or I immediately thought of a way to exploit it. Don't ask me to elaborate because I won't.
Best idea ever goes back a couple of months to a different thread, I think it was Wendy's idea but not sure.
Roll everything back to where it was at the following the Mob/WGC war. Let EVERYBODY have 2 permanently secured countries, the rest are subject to war (or you can buy WP).
Simple yet effective. Fair to all (Why should war level 4 players have to spend to defend an empire when war level 2 empires have to spend nothing?). I
Starting the gm bashing and that kind of attitude/sentiment isn't going to accomplish anything but random earthquakes.
They are listening. That is how war levels were brought about. Don't be fooled into thinking they aren't reading this thread. This is also the reason they won't remove them either. There are players like Maestro who contribute and players like him will be protected while features are removed or modified for players like myself.
As long as the objective is sucking in new players, the war levels in all likelihood will remain. Being honest, we've had this conversation before, during, and after implementation. They moved forward anyway.
I doubt they will be motivated to move to undo such an update after so many people blindly campaigned for it. I think it would be more rational to aim to remove war levels on FB where they weren't supposed to be added anyway. At least that is what we were told
For 3 years I've been playing the game as it was. I don't like war levels. No one needs to hear your immature bullshit. Keep your fixation with balls in your own closet. Let us know when you feel like coming out.
You don't need to wait on anything. Your candy ass can work up to level 3 and I will drop down on KB and show you how to be about shit instead of talking it.
I don't hide I am the most accessible player in this game.
Whenever your coward ass is ready to man up and quit crying like a child let me know.
I bet you'll be like 10 others who have quit the game when you realize you wrote a check your soft ass can't cash.
When I originally played SC a few years back, I remember that everyone had one secured main and then a bunch of slaves that could be taken by other players unless they secured them with boosters. Now there's all this "War Level" nonsense... It might just be that I don't understand this stuff, but the original system was fine.
I think they should do away with all this secured protection crap.
Time was you built an economy and you protected that economy either diplomatically or militarily or both. If you didn't do so, well you didn't play simcountry.
There isn't anyway to fairly treat peaceful and war monger countries. They should quit trying to do so. In the real world there isn't a GM, standing there to tell us who we can't attack. This has always been billed as a real world simulation.
No secured mode No war levels Simplify the war engine
I still believe the best fix is to lift the war level restrictions once war level 3 is attained. Once level three is reached you can declare on anyone who is at war level 3 or above. If you just want to play econ or just playing it safe stay below war level 3. It's as simple as that. That's my 2 cents.
I just hope some kind of compromise is reached soon. My membership is going to be over soon and I may not re-up. I may just go back to playing my Civilization V game. lol
