Since some people want UW`s to succeed, I was thinking of an incentive (other than keeping your resources) to bring down a UW.
Land.
For every % that the UW holder drops after you attack him, you get, say, 1/10th of that in land percentage bonus to a colony of your choice when the UW fails.
Maximum 20% land percentage bonus cap.
Takes effect after the UW has been active for 12 hours (anyone can start a UW, one that is up for 12 hours probably is a REAL threat that can be rewarded for taking down).
Thoughts? |

99+ day(s) ago | How will we determine the empires to give incentives too..I killed UW but should I get more incentives than empires who fought it at millions of PR? incentives on UW is hard to implement..actually almost next to impossible if you want it to be fair.

99+ day(s) ago | If you want people fighting UW make everybody lose all artiacts except those people on the same fed of the UW holder..
I`d hate this too as I am hoarding Gordos..but its the only reason ill risk losing all the money and minerals I have..and fight UW..
otherwise I`ll just sit and watch and wouldn`t care half as much as I would if id lose my artis..
This will also be a good server balance..I believe older empires are hoarding more artis than new empires..I bet this will get flamed by Vets cause they have the most artis..
and yes I killed UW..but Blazed was sitting at very low pr..it was silly. I guess I came out of DP when he already given up fighting for it.. :( |

99+ day(s) ago | I took my self down..I disbanded all my fleet..lol I was hoping to see players get together and fight, but botters just botted so it was a failed attempt to liven up the server. Crafty took a chunk out, then I think it was sweetestDownfall who killed it off |

99+ day(s) ago | resetting research and losing a couple levels are completely different things. |
Cynthelion
99+ day(s) ago | Never, ever suggest resetting research levels with a UW! Stephen already likes that idea way too much...
My real incentive is that getting UW`ed when just starting discourages new players. If you have low research levels and are ust getting your empire on its feet, there is nothing more discouraging than a UW. I think we forget how hard it is to get going when you`re new. |

99+ day(s) ago | im partial to karnage`s idea. sounds pretty solid. except for the stc incentive. i sense a bit of cheating going on there. just do the negatives.
and possibly even have it lower loyalty on planets so that guardians have incentive to follow their story line a bit more... |
Blazed
99+ day(s) ago | How about some incentives to pulling off a UW..like making every empire lose 10%-20% of their land on all clusters=) |
Karnage
99+ day(s) ago | how bout this..
uw fails at 36 hrs, the top 10 attacking empires get something special say maybe 100 stc
uw completes, you lose 50% of all artifacts, all ships, 2.5% of research, 85% cash, 90% minerals |

DrunkenMasters
99+ day(s) ago | reset all artis after UW ! |
AGM94
99+ day(s) ago | artifacts should definitely be included in the uw and possibly research or land should be as well. this would mean that people were actually affected enough to mean that its better to fight then just sit and research while ignoring the uw |

99+ day(s) ago | tenicaly thou lumin is right UW is meant to be THE "ultimate weapoin" so tenicaly on tha basis alone it should be like a complet systerm reboot all empires bk at restart point, but would be a bugger if u strived so hard and still failed and lost so so much ud just give up |
Pestilence
99+ day(s) ago | GCL lmfao i mentioned tha about 3 years bk there was complet up roar about it and most of them threatend to leave lol |
Anfit
99+ day(s) ago | arties are power. you lose neither arties nor planets in someone else`s UW, so it`s not worth the fuss to fight it.
if it werten`t so UWs would be a greater challenge... |

99+ day(s) ago | O.o
Dang.
That`s harsh. I`m only level 51 infra and that would set me back 5 hard earned levels.
It would be like setting people back into the stone age.
Some people wouldn`t care... they`ve got their planets to get the money back quickly, and what`s 10% of levels, especially if they haven`t researched much?
Threaten to restart EVERYBODY lol.
Bye-bye EVERYTHING and then people will fight.
Maybe that`s not such a great idea actually... |
