Re: Attack Turns

I've stated before I don't like the idea of buying AT, whether it be from ingame currency or not. I'll do my best to stick to my guns on this one, but some things are even out of my control.

Re: Attack Turns

Seems like we are currently going with a reseting amount of 150AT? (at least I haven't gotten over that yet and it seems to reset to that each turn).

I like this amount. It allows 10 farm hits...and if your strike is lower than someone's defense (say half) it is not enough to mass them down. Which means wars will require coordinated alliance work to kill enemy defenses. (I only knocked off like 20k def with all my attacks). Means things will be interesting to say that the least.

(i don't know if there is a way to currently access the rested turns that I see in my command center)

I still disagree

150 is not enough, piting an account thats online every turn for 12 hrs against an account online 4 hrs is suicide.

Also it sways the power to far in favor of alliances. If a lone wolf can't even mass 1 member of an alliance, then lone wolfs are nothing but farms. They will never stand a chance.

150 is just to little


of course alot depends on the AT usage per action, we are all assuming the "15" AT rule will stand, but who knows?

Re: Attack Turns

Well then I have an idea.

Keep it 150. Have modes of alertness for your base. critical and all that.

The higher your alertness, the more at's you generate. Lets say if you are on critical you generate 300/450 a turn. That way! People can have more at's, but it is going to cost you your income (quite a realistic option if you ask me?) and in a game where snipers will not be an issue, people will be wary to do it because if you keep yourself on critical and go farming crazy, you are going to farm the wrong person too many times pretty darn quickly and then they're going to nail your arse to the wall. As soon as the level changes, the maximum capacity changes, any excess at's are lost, and lets say it cost's you 100at's to change..and you can only change once every 12 hours or something. Put a time limit on it, so people dont go massing on critical, then jump back to none before the turn change to get their income, repair and then wait till the next turn to go back out...or maybe you want it like that!?

It also means..you wont be able to go to war and live off your income a lone, increasing the need to actually fight and do things if you want to actually do that...hmm..

i think I got my point across.

Re: Attack Turns

We feel that 150 or 10 full attacks a turn is too much at this point. We are reducing this number to 60 or 4 full attacks. To compensate, we are increasing the rate at which the rested AT increases from 1 per turn to 2.

Re: Attack Turns

I'm not certain that 60 AT is good. If there was too much farming for amounts that were too small (folks basically getting turn farmed for their 10k). Then maybe just increase the cost of repairs? Just a quick opinion I been gone from playing for a few days because the shiny casino down the road wanted to donate money to me by making their blackjack tables cheaper.

Re: Attack Turns

Well I think it may be a bit to slow, and definitely favoring the more active as 2 AT per turn for 8 hrs is only 32 AT, not half what you get per turn.

But Its a promising system so lets work with it a while and see

Re: Attack Turns

I think the rested turns are a great idea, it allows for an explosion of farming, or saving up for a massing...
