a poll for Marauders on virals

OP 12/09/2007 · 03:23 PM #1

As we all know, the viral usage of the maru ships is "slightly overpromoting" the viral race due to the lack of upkeep. As we all know, the admins with their limited acces to the program can not change the upkeep for virals selectively. Therfore every change in the program will also affect marus.

This motivates this poll on the YES/NO basis FOR MARUS ONLY, if they would accept the following change of their race to minimize the viral-upkeep problem.

1.) shift the d.angle to dark marus, i.e. make it uncapturable for virals as done with the g.lictor.

2.) increase the upkeep of the pyth to .7$/per pr, and as compensation increase the racial modifier to Plundering + 1000 % and agriculture - 20 %

Afaik are these modifications would be doable by admins, correct me if i am wrong.

i would gladly pay more than i can probably afford on my maru empire`s pyth and angels to balance out the game

and the game not changing is why people leave , if they leave because of small reversable changes then thats their problem , but lack of updates is why GC is dead.

changing it, is causing it to die. Add on to it yes, but changing the basic aspects will kill it. You don`t see popular consol/PC games being changed. They only add on to them not demolish them and turn off long time players

+1000... haha you make me laught... maybe the -20 agriculture if you lucky

viral can capture 9 ships... i think this should be reduced... maybe 2 per race... if you take away Maru ships tahts 4 ships total if not thats 6 ships...

this would really make virals stack with the lack of spam ships then...

species382, on slow for instance people barely fight over 3 mil PR...

well, if i have the posibility to choose between a game with the ranking

1.)maru
2.)maru
3,)maru
4.)soemthing else
5.)maru

and

1.) viral
2.) viral
3,) viral
4.)soemthing else
5.) viral

i choose the former one.

Btw, as building costs scale quadraticly, the fixed income increase will be compensated at a certain point with the upkeep increase. And with the currently proposed values, the break even point is reached at approx 40 turns building pyth, i.e. 120 pyth. A 300 pyth fleet becomes already twice as expensive, a 600 pyth fleet gets 6 times as expensive and so on, rising quadratically.....So basically it gets cheaper for marus to fight below 3 mil pr, while it gets heavily more expensive to climb up further. Therefore i dont see an indication for marus dominating the game. Of course marus then still have the posibility to build d.angles their a**es up, but what do you do with a d.angle spam when hercs are available. And if the buildrates are decreased, thats even more disadvantageous for em.

So i dont think, that this is a present at all for marus, just the opposite......

It`s interesting but species don`t know what he is talking about haha. Do you have even the slightest idea how this will affect the game? The slow rich list will be like:
1)marauder
2)marauder
3)marauder
4)something else
5)marauder
6)marauder
On normal marauders will be pretty rich compared to all other races as well.
