some new suggestions....

[piercy]

hello there....

for a couple of days i play and enjoy this funny game.
A few days ago i could convince a friend to join and he enjoy it, too.
so for that congrats for the admins and programmers for creating that "lovely" game.
since now "it took me hours..." hahaha
but now we feel a little disappointed for some reasons...
as a single player or with only two men like we do, u are not be able to grew up.
for this time there are two big alliances who rules the game, and 2 another ones.
so u only have the choice to join one of this alliance (if they take u) or leave this game.
the last days i tackled with some other single players like dwork, iricigor or
guvvk (hope ur names are correct, sorry if not...;-) )
but no one gets really an advantage. but around us the big alliance grew up
and up. i spent some time to look how much people are playing here.
but i only see only the same names. but i think that more people would like
to play here, if there are better chances and i think not everyone of us
had the chance to be online every second.
so here some suggestion, i dont know, if this is written before.
i saw the last threads about alliances and so on...
ok... this is a suggestion

1. members in alliance
max 5 members
alliance couldn't grew up in such a short time
others been able to grew up, too
u have to develope better tactics


2. change alliance membership
u only can once join another alliance, and not back
this could avoid cheating

3. geos transfers
u only can transfers to alliance members
this could avoid cheating, too

4. alliance between alliances
only available if everyone of them of them hold at least 10 city
alliance will stop, in case of one of them has less then 10.

5. a game last on month
1st day in month game will start and stop at the end of month.
after every game the best alliances and players came up to a hall of fame
with there statistics
the next month there statistics will be added to the hall of fame

so thats was it for the first time...

i hope that are some suggestions to make this game more interesting for more people,
to have more tactical planning and more chances to be succesful.
i would like to know our opinion about that...

greets

heya, good of you to care enough for the game to try and improve it, and i hope you'll keep playing. We know that this can be hard for new people (i dont really know why, but still) and ideas are being thought off.

back to your idea's:

1. alliances atm have no benefits, you'd just get small cells

2. how would one cheat changing from alliance to alliance? this only makes sense with point:

3. pretty good, ive said it a couple of times, wouldnt cut back cheating much though

4. no idea what you're talking about there

5. not good, i would NEVER play this game if it were only one month, there is already no tactics in this game, the only difference come after a long time of playing.

i'm in one of the leading alliances and i've NEVER been able to hold a city for more than 24 hours. don't think it's easy just becasue someone is at the top. the guys at the top work like CRAZY to stay there.

and here's a suggestion, make your own alliance and invite EVERYONE who's not already in an alliance.

@timmetie
these suggestions could be change in any way, if it will help to improve the game.
point 1 i think they have a benefit, transfers geos could help ur mebers to attack and defend. more members, more geos available
point 2 is meant, if u just a member und would leave to another alliance.
(sorry, i press the button to fast...haha
point 3 ok... ;)

point 4 sorry, what u not understand? :)

point 5 ok, i understand, but was just an idea...


@speedfreak
yes i know no one is able to hold city so long...
but its difficult if around u are only alliance :D

well, we had a little little alliance... its not easier....maybe in future.... :cool:
but thx for reply :)

I'm sorry man, but if we're on top, we work like nuts to get there. Yes, it can be hard to get on top when you're starting, but I've been on this game for 5 months! Your alliance may not be that big now, but there are always other people who need an alliance. Then you can "get big."
For now, don't expect to take down the top alliances by making rules against them.

1. Lots of cells.The NAR was an alliance before the alliance function came into the game. Then there was a limit and we created cells. Thus it is impossible to cap.

2. How will it stop cheating? An alliance can disband and then join back together again yder a different nam/with a different 'leader' (ie another member inviting them)

3. How about to pay spies?

4. Read point 1. Ever heard of a ceasefire or teamwork or neutral?

5. One month is not long enough. Resets are bad enough.

As someone who was in your shoes when I joined the game in late oct, it was tough for a while playing with "the big guys" ruling the game. However, I was able to make some friends and I am now part of a good alliance.

The key to making this game fun is working hard at it. Like others said before in this thread, staying at or near the top is not easy. Keep in mind that the top alliances have many people working several hours a day to stay there.

I think this version is even better for new players becasue of the number of small cities. Take over a few, work hard, and find some friends. This will also give you a chance to work out your battle tactics, and understand how to really play. Also, if the big guys see that you are working hard, you may get an invite. that's how my current alliance was formed.

This game is like most other mulit-player games - there is always a group of people at the top. It is not as obvious in some of them because there are tens of thousands of players.

Keep at it. It is tough going in the begining, but after playing a while, this is one of the more fun games out there.

And one reason the game will remain stable is because 1 alliance will never rule.
If it comes close, all will rise against it and throw it down.
We've seen that, although there was no time to actually really see it to the end.

I've also seen several folks without an alliance making it to the top 10 of players.
Like in real life, it's all about social communication also. That's what makes it fun.
