All out war era.

[Slugworth Assrot]

Heres a suggestion for a much more warlike era.

1) In this era, setting relation to war has twice the normal effect. Being set to neutral is same as being set to war.

2) Army effectiveness can be increased by performing hostile actions. For example, killing defence troops/supers/mercs will increase attack rating by a small % on top of tech. Attackers being killed by your defence will increase their rating by a small % on top of tech. Taking covert action (sab only?) will increase rating by a small % on top of tech. Same deal for MS. Combat losses do not work against you, meaning they do not lower your rating.

3) Absolutely no PPT (unless everyone complains about it, lol)

4) Mercs should work very differently.... I think it should be possible to have far more mercs than normal for this era. However, with the new weapon costs in the 'gods' era, I do not forsee this being a problem. Maybe 1000x supers?

5) Another stand alone unit, sorta like dragons, but much cheaper and weaker, expendable. Like Gliders or Interceptors or something.

6) An Era specific ME rank which counts towards overall rank - based on attack/defence units killed, MS damage, sab damage etc (no naq farmed, or spies killed, or anything that can conceivably be abused or exploited)


Just a few ideas there to get the ball rolling, feel free to add more ideas or opinions on existing ideas!

[Slugworth Assrot]

If some people think 1000x supers is too much for mercs, maybe starting army could be much lower (like 20), and UP much much more expensive?

That way you really have to be careful with your base army, but at least you can buy lots of mercs/gliders and whatever else.

I know a small base army will make complications with bank size... but complications can be interesting

[Slugworth Assrot]

Obviously with such a small base army, naq production would have to be much larger.

Sorry, lol... It's not really intentional or anything, I just get carried away in a train of thought and dont really give much consideration to the presentation.

Kind of like the "No Run, No Hide Era of Military Experience"

Military Experience is everything, not just a Stat that everyone keeps track of on the side.

All actions have to be declared, like calling the 8 ball in the side pocket.

No more of the "I accidentally spied on you" HAHA type lameo excuses.

New Weapon Technology - Un-manned Flying Drones
(Having un-manned Drones, which is the new kick-azz tactic of the modern military...) Because they are unmanned, they are expendable, very fast and very evasive and maneuverable, and also capable of carrying many different types of "payloads" (here there are common payloads for all Races, but there are also the Payloads that are Race dependent, each race having its unique Race effective payloads)

Drones, payloads, no Peace button, only Neutral, War, and "Genocide", a new setting that means you intend to wipe them and their allies from the game... Genocide setting means your attacks have much larger severity, BUT, the costs can be devastating to you especially if your Stats are not superior enough to outmatch their defensive capabilities by at least 10% (in other words, NO more just squeaking by on an Attack by a few million points).

New defensive weapon, Anti-Drone Ground to Air Batteries
(Kinda in the Phalanx style "million rounds per second" technology the US Naval Destroyers and Aircraft Carriers utilize) not sure what the Royal Navy calls their similar paint the sky with bullets type anti-aircraft weaponry. This is the weapon you need to protect yourself from the Un-manned Drones.

Am I on the right track?

[Slugworth Assrot]

Yeah, I really like your interpretation of it!

Only comment I have that ME shouldnt count for 'everything', but maybe it should be an equal factor of overall rank along with att/def/cov/ms.... maybe.

Its up for debate

i vote for this idea

1) Explain more.

2) Doesn't seem that interesting to me...

3) YES!!

4) Makes no difference to me, sure I guess..

5) No, enough with the Dragon/God type units, time for something new...

6) Yes, but I dont see why you wouldn't include spies killed, you have no idea how hard it is to find someone with a nice sized army to train all their units to spies for you to waste thousands of turns on ACing AFTER you spend hundreds of AT's massing their defense... and then repeating the process... Not many people are going to do that theres only about 10 every wave that are that stupid.. But yeah, I agree with the no NAQ part...

Yeah... I didnt play this era, thats all time from the wave ME was put in since I didnt play last wave either... Back when the armies were alot smaller...

Sorry, but with inactive armies being 1.8m that doesnt impress me at all.

Thats the equivalent to only two of the top armies having all their units as spies, and thats your entire spies killed count for the wave...

I was talking about a top army (10-12 mill) having 95% of their UU as spies...
