99+ day(s) ago | thats a tough break SK...maybe whoever coded it thought if you got lucky or good enough to get 4 of them you deserved 3 boarders as a reward?...lol |

99+ day(s) ago | On another side note the other reason i no longer do them is because of the fact that if you mess up during doing them it`s very hard to impossible to fix that error Also messing up calculation due to human error and etc.
tl;dr only way c.5`s will be on players anymore will be the ones that already exist, from npcs, or if Stephen ever fixes the code (doubtful given i told him how and he decided to disable it) |
ShadowKing
99+ day(s) ago | but its fine for drunken masters to have one? that seems very unfair and picking favorites
You might also notice that DM`s was the very last one i did and last one i will ever do.

99+ day(s) ago | BW deemed it unfair to give out c.5`s to players due to one fact, which is it gives +3 borders in the process. It`s not something he can stop from happening, it just happens.
So this would explain why the NPC can have a c.5, and players can`t at this moment. If you have more questions, feel free to pm them to me :) |

99+ day(s) ago | i also wondered that the day after vendeen took 3 of your c4s :P |
ShadowKing
99+ day(s) ago | and its a dang shame BTW |
ShadowKing
99+ day(s) ago | i have but one question... how come a month or so ago when i had 4 c4s i pmed Badwolf to make them into a c5 and he said he couldnt do it? but with one already on the TB server and one now whats up with that? |
Brotherhood
99+ day(s) ago | ive been on both sides of this..now i see what you are saying but with a c3 or above there is no lost forever. Makes you unexplorable and thats to the hunters advantage...ya he/she might have income advantage but thats temporary if you have drive to hunt said empire...already start with counter advantage to begin with.. |
EvilAbadayos
99+ day(s) ago | nope...another spark of brilliance for stephens coding. |
grantweep
99+ day(s) ago | I thought c5s could be downgraded to C3s? |
EvilAbadayos
99+ day(s) ago | the thing is, with the C5, is that it`s totally useless (apart from planet count for missions) to ANYONE but a collective.
Now look at it this way:
Would you want to loose a 250k+ land colony to an enemy player that can use it to it`s max potential? They would gain funds at an insane rate, and with that, be able to be more of a pain in the but than they already may be. Possibly also going to their head.
Now if you couldn`t plunder said colony (in this case) and it looked likely that an enemy collective would get it and use it against you, what would you do? Let them get it and able to use it to it`s full, being a total pain in the neck for a few week/months till they are forced to plunder it or loose it themselves (this case only maru and coll can plunder it).
OR would you kill off the population, let them get it then send them a mail to see the response?
I know what most people would do, even if it`s for the malicious joy of the emo rage it causes, or maybe the tactic reasons I said above. Scorched earth is a valid tactic in wars, this is just the GC version. They take hold of the land, but it`s totally useless for anything. |
Raistilin
99+ day(s) ago | It`s a rather effective tactic. Denying enemies / opposition resources is exactly the same as depopping a cluster. Removing an enemy the ability to use or obtain items needed to continue to fight.
Whether you deem it dirty or good tactics, well that my good sir is personal preference. |
