well -what an era!
i have not seen numbers that big for a while :)

congratulations to all who rose to the uber-power levels! epic...

era 25 will be a good one -specifics to be announced in the next day or so...

as of this second,some type of ascension will be included, but not the focus....and certainly not as powerful!

comments welcome!

ps as always realm details are in the 'game updates' link top of page...

OK - attack of the clones it is :)
with a subtle undertone of ascension....

and an effort to balance ascension with the inputs, growth, etc....

should be a good one!!!
go clones!!!

sorry shoulda read the updates

so theres going to be a new clone every turn?

48 new accounts everyday over nearly 80-90 days thats close to 4k accounts is it not

edit:
if a clone is at number one does that clone get cloned after the turn?

i have changed the clone creation to each 4 hours (from each 30 minutes).
if a clone is #1 at a cycle, then yes, the clone is cloned :)

so we now have 6 clones a day. say 80 days (no clones first 2, last 7), means an army of almost 500 clones by era end...yup :)
best keep knocking them down....

So based on your evil ways you expect us to mass rank one every 4 hours in order to maintain order. Should be fun

I like it. That means that you actually have to work hard to be able to farm them, rather than any old person being able to turn farm them after a few hours!

EDIT - on another point... admin... can you make military experience ranked, but just not count it in the ranks please? Then at least we know where we stand in the quantumverse without having to ask every Tom, **Filtered** and Harry :D

Early on there defenses wont be to hard to overcome after a day or so, and later on troop deaths will have just as much of an effect as weapon damage.

so if your going to have them repair would need them to retrain as well.

That's what I was thinking of, not that I play Q for more than an hour or so a turn :oops: but it could make the clones have a lingering effect.

why did i have to say something.... doh

and i thought the idea of clones was for them to stay at the power they were created at? not get stronger training to replace lost troops is one thing, but training EXTRA troops and buying them weapons they will increase in str. (but then again they will eventualy be farmed so much they wont have cash for many weapons)

its a compromise.
the goal is to create an 'AI' force to contend with. yer right, if no rebuild/repair/rebuy --they would eventually just be a big farm.
this way, they at least grow att/def/etc at a reasonable rate, but are 'stuck' at where they were created regards ascension, techs, UP, etc -- only the 'server wide everybody gets it' stuff affects them...

will this open up the game to future AI players? hmmmm... ;) i can sense quests...

I do have one request about clones. If this era as last you start giving "free" Ascensions to inactives do not include Clones in this. I can only forsee that ending badly they are annoying enough already as is.
