I propose creating a real incentive to fight UWs to reward people for at least trying to oppose them and empowering them for the next time a UW happens (or empower them to do a UW themselves).

Something on the order of rewarding the top 3 or 5 damage dealers with stc equivalent to the number of turns they expended on the UW. If we make it a contest of who can do the most damage, it would motivate more people to use arties to oppose a UW since they know they`d ultimately get them back for doing the most damage if it succeeds.

Just a suggestion from a semi retired player (I`m not quitting this game cold turkey)

hey, whatever happened? Was my suggestion ever talked about or was it essentially ignored?

Well, since admins already has the power to disburse artifacts, it would be at their discretion whether or not to do so. It`s a tad trickier to deceive a human admin (for very long) than a few lines of code, and it`s not wise to deceive such persons if they expect to still have an empire. ^_^

And i say the top damage dealers should get turn-for-turn compensation since the top damage dealers tend to be the ones to oppose the UW. I think people would be much more willing to expend BTCs if they thought they had a reasonable chance of getting most of them back, wouldn`t you agree?

Anyways, the incentive has to be pretty significant to motivate people to oppose a UW even if it`s hopeless.

This is an idea I very much support - provided it is kept abuse free and balanced, which may be a tad tricky.

You shouldn`t get AS MANY turns as you expended back, that would be a little ridiculous, but some would be a good incentive. ANd perhaps not just to the top 3-5 damage dealers, say the empire is small - Smaller empires should get something too :P Though I think if a empire capable of big things doesn`t do much they shouldn`t get anything.

This is, of course, assuming the UW succeeds. If they succeed in killing it, there should still be a reward, but maybe something significantly less in scope like getting 1/3 the turns you expended killing the UW if you are a top damage dealer or something.

The general idea is there there has to be a clear incentive to oppose a UW as there is to do one.
