viral upkeep is bs, fix it.

methinks he`s just some random newbie who hasn`t even been around for as long as most of us... in fact, he`s been around for an even shorter time than TPE. rofl.

anyway 420renegade, so what if the virals you speak off could eat the entire food. does that mean we can`t force all virals to go tax? for one with so little brains you should speak less and try thinking more. actually wait, don`t do either, you might get brain damage from all the trying.

if you decrease viral upkeep, we must also decrease decrease viral income. Viral are extremely overpowered in every sense. Its not good. Ive been in np until the prob is dealt with, and will remain so.

and who the hell is this know it-all 420renegade fellow. He acts like he knows everything.

420renegade if u can force viralz to go tax hmmmmm u cAn force someother race to go agri or make a new race for agri just to balance

Yall. Think of it this way

RT`s two largest virals alone could eat the entire food production of all 5 GC servers most likely. Add in the next 3 biggest, and its done easily, add in the rest of the virals...No way. Though yes a fair few virals may restart as agri or CG producing empires..Itd be extremely hard at first

you should never force someone to go tax.

actualy if u think about it hiigarans idea isnt that bad in terms of the long run.... forceing virals to go tax would then open up a market for other races to go food and would increase the cg market making cg making more apealing.. in all u would see a more even spread of the races rather than 7virals to every 1 other race(gross exaggeration but u get the idea)

but then again this does come with its initial problems as it would basicaly forcing tons of virals to restart .....
u could get round infra problems by offering all existing virals an i tech...

but yer back to main point increase viral mara upkeep already damit :|

hmm renegade we will have to have a black market the double worth food is perfect i guess but ur right it would be hard

lol i would =P *looks at his massive income o.O*

change race and be something decent.

lol 420,

"Id totally posted what I posted in the last thread, But apparently you didn`t get it, Now this has come to basically spam. Even most of the virals agree the upkeep needs to be balanced, but nothing has been done.

ANd honestly, Even if you tripled the upkeep of Angel and Pyth they would still be spammed, virals are a rich race. Your little upkeep solution wont solve jack. Think harder, and come up with a real solution."

you call that sarcarsm?

well, beside limit the ships chassic, u can force Viral go tax-based. with higher based- pr, spam will less effective too.

i agree that paid acc should get some global advantages, u got faster turn generate, more turn strorage, F.BoardSword, 20% bigger planet, 20% easier aritfacts, no X class to worry n so on.

but the advantage not suspose just particular on a race which cause unbalance. yes, paid races, look on Marauder n Guardian, even got not-bad ships, but they got suk per turn income, no homeworld n so on. that`s the hard parts for them.

look on Viral, what`s the hard on it? hard to lose a battle? lmao...

420aprently u replied also

TheShadow: Yeah, I`ve suggested that over two dozen times now, but the problem is with ALL of this is it requires stephen to get up off his lazy rear end and actually balance his game.

paki. please remember that there are PAID Aminers, Terrans and COllectives also.
So speaking of paid benifits your gonna have to increase advantages to those 3 races also which will completely destroy the moral of any new or already playing free players to just quit because of the games stupldity.
Paid does not only apply to (Available if paid races). Some people are still paid races while not under the benefits of a paid account.

420Renegade your being an ldiot again. just stop posting man seriously. You may know a lot but when you try to act like it you know S***
You said x3 the upkeep wont effects virals anyways because your all so dam rich. Your stupldity is overwhelming. Its because of such LOW upkeep that all you virals are so rich.
Otherwise you`d all be within the balanced range of everyone else crying to mommy or daddy because you cant spam to 100mil pr with -10mil per turn and 50 bil$$ trying to resort to more cost efficient ships balancing yourselves out.

what about limiting virals on the number of certian kinds of ships they can get. Like this
only one jugg. 2 dreads. The rest destroyers crusiers and so on.
may not make a difference. just a suggestion

Waa Waa MOMMY, MOMMY he has something I don`t. Mommy take it away so I`ll be best.

i dont care MAN really this game is fine i dont complain even though i suck as every race exept for a few not my job

ANYWAYS ITS NEVER GUNNA HAPPEN
