Achilleus UW Ultra

Actually, just remove the capsule lab, reset everyone`s artifacts, give everyone 10 of each artifact, and let the dice fall where they may.

Removing artifacts requires an act of Stephen anyways, which we all know isn`t likely to happen. xD

But please, by all means, remove artifacts. That will just give the feds with members with 80% of the planets and C3 on the server the advantage we need to win 100% of our UWs. Normal sever would then be able to feature a UW every 3 months as each of our high flying members win the game. By the time the 4th one goes off, the guy who did the first one will have enough of an economy to do it again with the necessary support network holding the ranks.

Maybe I should be asking, "Do you get to keep your arties if you restart your empire?"

Achilleus, if you are a young empire, how did you manage to get arties? Has always been the hardest part of the game for me

How would you ever kill a UW without artifacts?

I have made 3 UWs on ultra now, none of them have had any serious use of artifacts. I BTCed some of the fleet here, but that was just to finish sooner. I did it after the buildrate event ended. The last UW I had 100 BTCs to spare. If anything, I have just wasted a ton of turns digging, which could have been put into research instead.

Boom!

Thanks to the (few) ones participating. I hope ultra will liven up soon, so there won`t be too much more of such easy UWs. I almost feel it`s too cheap a victory. Thanks to Dist for keeping ranks and apparently looking so scary that all opposition crumbled.

Ummm... Boom?

we are doomed!!!

PP im far from frustrated, truth be told im resigned to the death of turn based, 1-2 years ago ultra was alive but it has slowly died, im sure you have noticed the lack of active players and therefore borders. Fast is the only server with enough targets to get by. Only 2 days ago i considered whether i should stop playing ultra and fast as all i do is use turns and thats not frustration, my best time in this game has been when i was in an underdog fed fighting dominant feds.

I am glad to be back on Ultra, I work full time so RT would kill me and MinQ is right, things happen quickly enough but it`s not constant like RT. Like MinQ said it`s ideal, and for RT players it would be a diversion while turns built back up

Maybe we could split up teams more evenly after the UW? I joined DISTEMPER b/c I recognized old players I knew, but I was in Crash Test Dummies once upon a time and if some of the other active players would move there or to the Tabbies it would be more fun.

Let`s talk about it.

I dont really understand why no one plays Ultra, you get to play another race, and the speed aint that slow, when unpaid, it takes 3 hours or so to fully regenerate 100 turns. Its pretty easy to manage and kinda less stressful as compared to RT and not as slow as Fast and so on..

We need more fed leaders in RT to recruits their members from their feds to join Ultra. When a fed is strong, all you take is time to build up your land and infra.. Be patient, wait for others to go boom and thats one empire less you have to worry about for a while.

So please please come to Ultra people! :)
