Detail
Reward for killing off the Kalzul :
+5 to +10% to land size to all your Colonies (with more than 1,000 land Updated)
Kalzul Empires will come out of DP every 60 minutes.
So SuperNewb has a 18k c2 and gives Kalzul a good whack his land may increase 900 to 1800 land
In contrast
VetClickAllot has 5 10k u large and a 23k c2 for a total of 73k land (low for vets)
After a Kalzul smack down would get 3650 to 7300 land.
So the rich established empires will get richer and the newer empires wil get crumbs. And there is no chance supernewb will ever get VetClickallots colonies. |

99+ day(s) ago | Granted, the ships I`m using may be dubious... though on ultra I had had as much as 55 million power of flysch at one point, lol. Even so... regardless of what ships I`m using, the upkeep is expensive. And if I`m fodder floating like you say (though I guess it`s fairly obvious that I AM mostly fodders) I could easily build ships with which to attack the kalzul if I was so inclined. I`m not. I only attacked it on normal because I got bored, lol. |

99+ day(s) ago | Well TBk if supernewbs wanna be Vets thats what they will have to do
Lets get one thing straight, if someone has good land and infra (not quite sir clickalot) then he will always get stick, and be penalis3ed for probably for some working very hard ove r a number of months to attain that
I started as a newb we all did, and fought our way to the top thats what seperates the boys from the men
If theyre are no new players to do that, well i feel sorry, but no you cannot make a reward for a newb and vet comparable it is their choice and therefore a moot argument
Smiley i agree more ppl hunting would be nice
I think it will be time to break some NAP`s soon, before i snooze off =P |

99+ day(s) ago | Well, if people started to hunt the strongest instead of just supporting them - then clusters would change owners much more often.
Remember that even a vet got limited amounts of turns. If 10 empires uses 150 turns each hunting down a vet with 150 turns - well, then they should be able to beat him. If they do this every single day and avoid counters - well, then even the big clusters would change owners.
The problem with this game is that everyone is afraid of those with planets. |

99+ day(s) ago | well like I said. "USUALLY" the poor empires with little power and cash. =D
*also notes that most likely deiloche has at least 60% of his PR in strafez and fodders when in the top 5, particularly on fast server* =D |
Deiloche
99+ day(s) ago | *notes that, on three of the four servers he plays, he has barely been OUT of the top five for any significant stretch, and that he dislikes this implimentation.*
You`ll also note that the only server in which I participated is the server where I`ve been in NP since december researching the HunXe. :P (Normal) I killed 6 dreadnoughts. W00t. |
Atronite
99+ day(s) ago | And how would you suggest "leveling the playing field"? I would think that the only way the new people can get on a more equal footing with the "rich" is to find a way to make money have less of an impact all together. Or perhaps you would like stephen to "redistribute" all the cash on all the servers.
Honestly, the only people that complain about this are(usually) the people that don`t have all the power and they`re just envious that someone besides them has more power than them.
*rolls eyes* |

99+ day(s) ago | yes the newer empires are disadvantaged just like they CANT climb high enough PR to attack people with big c3 cause those people fight in the millions usually.... atleast its an update
but yea i do think there should be a thing the newbies can participate in also and i guess that was your intesion.... |
Dreamland
99+ day(s) ago | i disagree... even though on all my servers that i play i have young new restarted/just started empires... at your logic TBK
oo0h look theres a newbie he hasnt played this game much and hasnt spent as much time playing it... o00h he SHOULD as well get the reward which older players spent lotsa TIME trying to achieve to get to the level they can take kalzul down |
TheBlueKnightWeaponX
99+ day(s) ago | BTW i have already wiped it (kalzul) out twice on turnbased servers and still feel the same way. |
TheBlueKnightWeaponX
99+ day(s) ago | EB your making the case for me
Yes i would have got approximately that amount of land on every whack of the kalzul and there are many others that have more land than me. And yes i`m sour about this because it`s just another rash implementation without any thought of future consequences. |
Deiloche
99+ day(s) ago | I prefer to wait to see how the land is awarded before complaining. I hit the kalzul on one server, so I would like to see if they give my two planet guardian account that killed six dreadnoughts anything. :P |
EvilAbadayos
99+ day(s) ago | sore loose? sour grapes that u didnt have a chance with ur rt account? come on if it was u that hit the KZ with ur RT account u would NOT be posting this
5% for u would be over 5.6k land i believe, 10% would be around 12k extra land on ur c4.
quit complaining and get over it |
Karnage
99+ day(s) ago | and the poor get poorer, yea yea yea,, can ya sing along |
DarkRune
99+ day(s) ago | So the players who play more get more!?!?!?! what hey that doesn`t make sence. Everyone complains on how the old vets can make so much more in a given situation. They are able to build faster they are able to make more but if you really think about it they have played this game and built their empires up to the point in which they CAN make that much a turn. when handing out a percentage reward of coarse they are going to make more per percent but if the award was 10k a turn most high players or vets wouldn`t even look at it. But everyone will take a look into a percentage increase. |

99+ day(s) ago | I like the name..and yes you are right :( |
