Bored of being smacked from 2x?
Bored of hitting from 2x?

Well in this race-fed war event, it seems that primarily this is what`s going on. Sure some people say "a win`s a win" ... yes ... but just like "wine is wine" there are gradations to quality.

Suggestion: only below pr-hits count towards a good score.

Most people still playing GC are vets now ... just what vet seriously regards a win from 2x as anything other than *yawn* *pathetic rubbish* -- even if you`re the one attacking!

As we know, the challenge and personal morale boost comes from when you take someone on who has the advantage, and you pull through.

So: suggestion:

attack from under pr -win: +4 points
attack from 100-129% win: +2 point

hit (not counter) from 130-199% win: -1 point (sure you might want to keep ranks through fed war hits ... but it shouldn`t be counted as a good win!)

hit (not counter) from 130-199% LOSS: -5 points [you`re pathetic!]

something along these lines will actually test skill and not just build-patience ... [great ... so you`ve built to 50 mil pr pyth pike borry herc cronus xxxxx and won from 2x ... go you ...]

Just so that I don`t sound like a hypocrit, here`s my recent attempt:

You attacked XXX. Attack has failed !

Pike Destroyer 1,066 692 374

Tyr Dreadnought 102 17 85
Pyth Battleship 59 22 37
Nirvana Dreadnought 72 40 32
V.Cronus Cruiser 640 274 366

attack was from 121% pr -- and I lost fair and square. Now I had fed war on this person, and could have built a bit more ... If you scale up my pr a bit, you`ll see that I would have won [check on greeyedi or whatever ... basically, tiger, flysch would be taken out round 1, instead of surviving to round 2, and also rubies kill off a lot more pyths round 1, etc]

I know people will think ... what a dolt! He coulda won with fed war, but almost "chose" to lose ...

My point is ... I tried a fair attack, and it was a close loss ... and I felt better about this loss than I`ve felt about numerous wins I`ve had in the past. And it brings some challenge (fun anyone?) to the game

the event in question does not give any advantage to declaring war on another fed , infact everything about it is a disadvantage

hmmm, a bit harsh not to let a terran use king+queen?

not sure it`s fair to void battle if defender doesn`t have 10 ... if the person is building out ... it`s difficult if you have left-over ships to be at 10 balanced immediately.

Also 10 balanced is unfair on some races (e.g. a viral 10 stack is likely superior to a miner 10 stack, but best 5 ships vs best 5, maybe the miner can hold up). Also if you know someone else is stacked and ready to attack you ... you just don`t have the turns to build those nice garudas or thors ...

Maybe if you mean if the defender`s offline, they should be balanced at 10? But even that`s a little unfair. I know I certainly sometimes build 45 turns rt, check out other server accounts, and then come back online to rt to continue build.

I`m not convinced about rules on specifics of what ships people have ... as any vet knows, from 2x, you can win even if at even pr, stack on stack you would fail miserably.

and make it so both the attacker and defender must have 10 balanced stacks...if the defender doesn`t have 10 balanced then it`s a void battle and if the attacker doesn`t have 10 balanced they automatically get kicked out of the event and get forced frozen until the event is over...or forced restarted....and in those 10 balanced stacks your only allowed to have one type of strafez ship more than one would count as spamming.
