W3C - Game News December 11

Take no notice of that wicked old, smelly footed, hooked nosed charlatan Gaz. She earthquaked me too, but I got over it.

Andy is watching and judging Kiss, be careful, your good days are running out ;)

You'd like him once you get to know him KoD.

He has shoes in his left hand.

Moon Boots

Green 1's not blue

Noted crafty lol.

Dddd iiiid someone say MOON BOOTS???!!! Shoes???!!!!

I'm being judged???? OMG IS ANDREW GONNA BAN ME????!!!!! He better not!!! He's already on my list! I'll have to send an earthquake his way too if THAT happens!!! ha ha ha ha

Crafty, dun make me push da button on you again! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Furthermore, I do NOT have smelly feet!!!

But you dont deny the hooked nose, or the big hairy wart on the end of it, huh, do you...do you.

Imma witch, what you think? ha ha ha ha And I was recently told that hairy wart was sexy!

Good news. The Blue arrows are on the FB war maps.

Andy I noticed another problem with the maps. A c3 I dec'd on had no cities showing on the warsceeen.. I tried attack from a list but no target came up to show me where there at. I need to get in range with my LRD's

Ps KoD Lets not go there pls

I give up. It's changed again.

Cuz I willed it to change back! So there! :P ha ha ha

I just took a c3, without attacking a city, or fortification because of that fortification rule. I mean wow is there war has become too easy problem, lol! KNOCK ON WOOD, JUST KIDDING, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!

You won without attacking a city Drew? What war level?

Pfft I have taken over entire empires without even having had to fire a single shot!!! Who needs targets!!!

My game ego abounds as well as my wickedness!!!! :P

3, well i hit the capital and some towns but no city

Everytime I fight an new war something is different. I noticed it got easier but the last war I fought was tougher again.

I just tried several wars.

The arrows are always there. I did not see a single problem.

The fortifications deliver 0.5 points per destroyed fortification plus 0.01 or 0.02 due to damage and casualties.

When all fortifications are destroyed, the total damage points from fortifications is 50.

This was 50 before. nothing is changed.

War is as easy or as difficult as before because none of the war rules was changed, no changes in the relative power of weapons or ammunition no changes in the war engine and no changes what so ever in the painting.

If you think that the change in the counting of damage points from fortifications makes winning wars easier, read the game news again.

If you remain convinced that winning wars is easier, than before, that is OK too.

Andy I've fought about 20 c3 wars these past few days and it's been changing. I promise you that.

Or am I just imagining this?

You know it's kinda easy to see those blue lines and im telling you they were NOT there. Most of the time

Maybe it's my account with the probs?

Im fighting wars on FB at level 6 and yesterday or the day before it got easier to win. 1 or 2 of the wars I had I only needed to destroy all the cities to win. I noticed it got harder again and I needed to hit the corps/forts. It changed then changed back.

Everything's been consistent with the way im fighting, always the same war level and the c3's pretty much identical. So it's easy for me to notice any difference.

If there's nothing wrong with the maps Andy why do my supply unit sprites now look like air units?

Check my country Mayhem on LU pls?

When I click on 1 of them units it says Mills is a Air Force Defense Wing of Mayhem. Yet in the right hand side it has 85 jeeps like my supply units should have.

Hope you see this soon cause im in a war and if they dont work like there supposed to im extremely vunerable. I could try pull them down and put them back up but I want you to see them.

My supply units should be the blob on the left.

++++++++++++100000000000000000 good updates, another full member for a year, merry christmas.

Fortifications may make wars unchanged in difficulty only when there is 100 fortifications OR you are required to destroy all fortifications. In any other situation it is easier, because the index points reduction loss is made up by the loss in WI up front. The old system in the case of fewer fortifications will lead to equaling the new system. Though each fortification destroyed with the old system will shrink the gap between the two systems but it will not catch up until the final destroyed fortification. I'm sure there are a lot of players that may finish the index with forts and not have to destroy all 50 points. The easiest way to look at this is with an analogy. Drew runs twice as fast as Lorelei and they are to run a 100m race. If Lorelei gets to start at the 50m mark, at no time will Drew (Old system) ever be in front of Lorelei (new system), however they will still complete the race in a draw. I rest my case, it is easier solely based on this rule.

However you said if we find it easier that's okay, I'm going to prescribe to that mentality. It's all good with me.

By the way, I take back every bad thing I said about the Old Layout, please don't take it away.

agreed, sometimes the old ways are always best

hey guess what its someones Real BIRTHday! toDay!

I'm thinking that the P/E for IPOing corps have to be raised.

<!-Quote-!>Quote:

Since being forced to raise salaries up to 310 to compete with c3 hiring P/E under normal circumstances is hardly capable of getting to <40.0 to ipo.

I do a little asq, not that is as effective as before and still see the mean range of p/e rations anywhere from 60.0-90.0

We need some kind of give and take here. Raising salaries by %30 or higher in most cases was bound to have this effect.<!-/Quote-!>

Any word on changing this? Also Andy, corps market value has just about been decimated. My corps are now in most cases 75% lower in terms of market value compared to before the last two updates. Is market value expected to recover in the longer term because nearly 90% of my corps that were eligible for IPO are now below the market value threshold in my ceos.

Corps in countries or state owned rather seem to be immune from these changes but my CEO is taking it on the head.

On an unrelated note, should we expect c3 welfare which is 97 to increase following the rise of salaries? Say to even just 105 would be considerably better for my corps. It kills me to see non-upgraded corps making big loot in a c3 with only 97 welfare while my fully upgraded corp is having problems.

C3 welfare should go up with higher salaries agreed.

Their welfare was raised some a while back. I think a flat 100% would be fair and the rest is up to the CEO.

I also would like to see sub 100 welfare be another reason for a corp owner to be excused from paying fees to move a corp. (applicable to player run countries of course).
