all i can say is pleas dear god no, that would ruin most ppls strategy they worked on, yes it would equalize things, so that those with bad or no strategy have an equal chance as those with good strategy

and let me guess, ure one of those who has fewer uu

and also all these sugestions about power an wealth distribution, its like socialism!!!! why the hell does all my hard work go down the tube for somone who doenst wrok hard, to get everything that i have divided between the masses

quit sugesting things that take good/big/rich/anything else type players down

I agree - although well thought out, the suggestion will make stronger players relatively weaker and weaker players relatively stronger. Additionally - as a country, or realm in this case, grows more powerful - yes, costs increase, but so does production and output - and generally there is a net increase, not a reduction, in wealth. You want a good example - look at Microsoft.

This smacks of, once again, people wanting something for nothing

Thanks for your input guys, suggestions are just that..... suggestions, most will go on the scrap heap but sometimes one will shine and add to the game. Looks like the scrap heap for this one.

Neb - I have quite alot of UU and this would effect me also, but the reason the idea was put forward was to reduce the effect of the rich getting richer, not to destroy their choice in strategy, just to slow the exponential growth. (btw - it is a strategy I identified quite quickly and exploited so I am not a newbie whining about the strong :) )

Anyway, it has been posted for a few days and the majority havent liked the idea so *chuck onto scrap heap it goes* :)

HOWEVER... a population limit would be sweet and realistic :twisted:

considering that earth can hold 6 billion people and counting, and the milky way galaxy is prety damn big, I don't think we are anywhere near a realistic population limit yet.

At least it follows reality in a parallel way. We don't need actual figures, and we aren't dealing with Earth, we're dealing with imaginary planets that are inumerable and all fit for life in some way.
