Incorrect Nostra.

Fixing the plague is in the interest of the Game not myself.
I have the capaçity to build a 200t plus defence but choose not to.

Nostra wrote:...but how you steer clear of the other topics, like the capping.

Again incorrect Nostra.

I posted in your thread about Capping Everything.
I agreed with ETLs comments viewtopic.php?f=13&t=183898&start=195

For covert/AC..make it that no one can get level 40c or AC until ATLEAST 9 months to a year after gaining level 39..or basically make level 40 5 times more expensive...and so on..
Ascension, link vacation mode, as long as one hasn't attacked/sabbed or assasinated in either server for 24 hours, then one can go into vacation mode.

As for linking ppt, it is totally implausible with current game mechanics. People are away usually on ppt days, so you might end up with 2-3 days to descend someone who is more than likely to be on, which we all know is almost impossible to descend. The only way I can see a workaround is to change descension itself from the current maximum of 40 percent damage to something like 75 percent damage. Now obviously most people cannot do max damage to others, so it won't affect much..but if one has totally ignored their ascended account..2 hits and descended!

To give you an idea..I was doing over 850 million LF damage to Kjarkur, and that still wasn't the max 40 percent damage as he had so much LF reserves. So even with a new 75 percent max damage rate, it would probably take nearly as long to descend him.

100% Agree.
Ascended server is the ultimate catch up server - unlike main.

It only involves a very very select few, how on earth, can these huge amounts of time be spent on it on admin meets, suggestion threads ... and what not ...

Imho, you are only bothered by it as you people cant mass it cheaply ... the same goes for the ascended server suggestions, making it take longer, would make it less easy on you.

Why am I incorrect ? did I say you did not post in it ?
I say you steered clear of it.

Many things have been discussed in there and you only bothered to reply to something which might effect your easy descending on the ascended server.

My post count is 3004

Shoot me now for having the courage to voice my opinion openly at admin meetings and posting in the threads (like these) that I believe to be important to the game we all love.

Every player is entitled to post their opinion without being vilified.

Wheres the pistol ?

Are the TL ddrumms beating already to oppose that suggesting in the other thread ?

How quickly you people run there, its **Filtered** hillarious !!!!

ok - let us do this then:

1) 30% reduction in AB defense when others attack your realm if you are over the plague limit.
edit: 30% reduction in attack AB too. Gods hate germs. Germs come with plague and attackers take them with them to attack
2) 10% reduction in minimum % of attack vs. defense needed to hit/damage realm
3) watch the numbers, see how they play, and adjust only if necessary.

For the record, there will be NO hard limits or caps on any stats. This plague makes things harder to grow past, defend while in, and generally thrive under -- based on unit counts. Every stat needs units to increase it, mostly, so that is the right area to put a 'throttle' but I will never put a brick wall to run into

Hopefully with this last finetune, no more adjusting plague will be necessary> There will always be players above the majority, hard to take down, or TEMPORARILY untouchable. This is the way the universe works. These adjustments, though, allow any (if they pay for it) to challenge any other.

would it be better that player above the plague would not use mercenaries?

Lithium wrote:would it be better that player above the plague would not use mercenaries?

actually i think its worse when they buy mercs.
mercs add to unit count.
unit count above limit dictates # dead
dead are chosen from specialities by % of total units.
so more covert (for example) die, when mercs are bought....

so i am of opinion that maxing mercs kills the population much more quickly than no mercs.

Exactly, When I buy 120 mil extra mercs my plague goes up from 3.3 mil per day to 5 mil per day...

I believe those latest figures are a nice balance 50% was wayy to much.

Maybe later on in the future something cna be put in that relates army size along with a UP and blessing deduction similar to how cosmic expansion rate goes down in a % on ascended

i see

Does this mean 2 times the plague amount (1.086 bil planets) or 2 times the buy cap (543 mil planets)?

If a user is in a plague situation (2x max units, as seen in personelle/training)

Why do the gods hate skittles? Fruity infused sugar explosion ftw.

sorry ... clarified on updates .It simply states 'over plague threshold as seen in personelle/training screen' ...
543
