Ok I will keep the long story short. This game is so small nowadays that there is no need of fed branches any more. So if somebody is out of my feds, I will feel free to hit him, so will my fed mates. I am not very active the last months so I can`t constantly update everybody who is allied to whom anyway. If somebody wants to be allied to me or my feds, apply. If I accept - you are an ally. It is very simple and actually the way the game should be played. 21 players in a fed is big enough alliance in a game with 50 active players. |

99+ day(s) ago | Dude, you have no clue what you are talking about. Some of my UWs were really boring, true, but some of them had a lot of action, so please don`t talk about things you don`t know. I had to actually fight on slow to survive. My miner UW on ultra had a lot of action too... Not to mention my failed marauder UW on RT where I was attacked like 150 times in 8 hours. |

99+ day(s) ago | Indeed,
feds nowadays are better off merging with each other if they have a common interest than staying separate. |

99+ day(s) ago | yeah it varies a lot by time of day. I suppose 50 is probably about average though.

DrunkenMasters
99+ day(s) ago | I am saying alliances and naps should be carried on personally from now on, everyone out of the fed is fair game. |

99+ day(s) ago | I like Snafu`s scale.... or at least the idea that you could avoid a small amount of repercussions if you actively side with or against the UW... |

99+ day(s) ago | So, basically what DM is saying is that the opposition on most servers has gotten so boring that we must fight ourselves now? fun |
Snafu
99+ day(s) ago | With the player count so low on every server should there be a percentage limit on how big a fed can get?
A major part of the problem with UWs is when the UW empires fed makes up 40% of a server with only 60 active players. No wonder resistance is futile when only 60% of a server can fight a UW and often only half of those empire actually fight because of alliances.
Good diplomacy is part of the game, but maybe a limit on fed sizes and higher UW damage to non-fed empires failing to fight the UW will limit some of the cloak and dagger deals. Fighting the UW could be qualified as causing X amount of PR damage or more to prevent small token attacks from qualifying for the lower damage on a successful UW.
Kind of a sliding scale based on status.
80% UW damage if you cause X amount of PR damage or higher to the UW.
85% if you are in VM at least 48 hours before the UW and through the entire UW.
90% if you are in VM at anytime through the UW with no qualifying attacks.
95% if you are active through the UW and have no attacks on the UW. |
