Simcountry is an interesting game. There are a handful of set goals (game levels, war levels, rankings) but those are achievable early in a Simcountry experience. Beyond that, I find that I need to set my own goals to progress and keep interested in the game. I have worked on increasing profits, growing my military, working on my investment funds, and other things to see tangible ways in which I improve my holdings in the game. Beyond that, I enjoy sharing much of what I have learned. I have helped a number of players, regardless of faction, friend or foe, with uncovering secrets and important facts about the game.
Something that has eluded my Simcountry experience is a large federation war. Despite the NLUO hype, they were never a match to the might of Hydra. I have, also, not found my match in single combat and, at this point, I feel that opportunity will not present itself in the near future. So, I see a federation take large losses on a
Well as the community can see, Aries admits to being a self serving player with no ties to allies or federation loyalty. His arrogance comes through real thick here and appears to have self appointed himself the "GOD" of the game. What a douche bag!
I only popped in here to say happy new years from California!
but in the 20 seconds it took me to read,
<!-Quote-!>Quote:Hydra was created on the premise of being able to pursue whatever game course you choose. It rejected a "world government" that tried to impose its own set of rules. -Aries<!-/Quote-!>
thats 100% correct, with out knowing anything else.
anyways, happy new year from cali!
<!-Quote-!>Quote:Hydra members do not cling to survival by their fed, as some do. They are legitimate powers in their own right. Woe to the federation that mistakes a Hydra member's commitment to their friends as a sign of their weakness! -Aries<!-/Quote-!>
still not on the in, but the out, but that is well said. Hydra was not founded to bring peace, but to allow room for drama, that a controlling fed could not offer.
if every one agreed, and got along, their wouldn't be a need for the war game. many people would enjoy that, and they already can at WL2, like myself. but to be able to call on immeasurable allies, and expecting every one to get along... removes any need for personal growth.
it is the pendulum of power. it will swing back and forth, on either extreme end, that is total domination by any in-game philosophy, it restrict options.
you can no
I can agree to that indeed
"Hydra, was meant to strengthen each member. Rather than control, or dominate, its goal was to make each member, the best they could be." -Josias
I agree BUT now why would a Hydra member help an aggressor?? Aries is helping a player by the name of Johndoe (formerly Thewhy)? Johndoe had declared war on me! I defeated him and now (as he clearly stated) he wants another round. But yet Aries is helping him?? Bad Meets Evil is NOT trying to dictate anything. We are only going to protect ourselves. I even have the email which states he declared war on me! But yet Aries is helping him?? Hmm...seems fishy. Anyway, if Johndoe declares war on my again, I don't give who's the federation with him, they will all be destroyed. I thought every hydra member would have more knowledge of the game to NOT help aggressors. I guess not

Also, why would Aries help a
