Re: 2b Size Cap

i'm at 90% or something around there now :P Could everyone get a 2000 tril def to slow down farmers pls? :D Sure it won't stop them, but increasing their planet losses a lot will slow them down and prevent too many new ones.

The defenses wont stop them. It will help them. Remember, the higher the defense, the higher the losses, the lower their size=== higher rank mods. They want to stay as little as they can. Many have stopped improving there CER because it hampers the use of the rank mods. Some have even had friends intentional kill off millions of planets for them.

Re: 2b Size Cap

Hmm, although I am still far away from this cap (For now), I think all the caps need to be doubled.

So at 200k the fleets get the price jump, 4b for the major cap, then whatever the other limiter is would be moved in line too.

Re: 2b Size Cap

Well,I think when the phasing stuff and cap will not be fixed I'm thinking that reset on ascended server might be the best solution and give everyone a fresh start,because as Lore said now the server is for new players.

The rank mods are 130% with the lower army size and the "changing the ranking mod trick" (please do not elaborate on what this is), they don't get higher. They are not waiting for turns, they are waiting for their number of planets to increase enough to do another round of attacks. The higher their losses, the less frequently they can attack. They lose the additional planets to train into the attack force required and they take the additional losses through attacks.

Also, if they declare war, you declare it back. It increases their losses making it more painful to attack you. 1 declare war means they take 100% dmu, 2 declare wars doesn't help them at all.

Threaten to destroy their main, if they do it again, destroy half their account and then give them another threat. Put several players into perg in case they think that's safe.

Look out for them when they first start, the small ones, ask members to post their logs. You can destroy a lot of threats before they even get chance to build up.

Not increasing CER and even killing your own planets isn't helping, you might as well put them into def just to hinder those who attack you.

Every so often give yourself a little def con level, see who is spying on you. It is likely your "allies" and "friends" are spying on you, this information is likely going to your enemies. If they can't see what they are attacking or how much dmu is out they are attacking blind. "Sniper farming" can be done twice as efficient with intel on your enemies (i won't elaborate, it is unlikely many do it now). Alternatively if you aren't worried about being massed, increase your covert dramatically, when somebody spies on you, it will fail and they will lose about 20% of their spies as well as let u know who is spying on you.

Do not give out peace treaties (alliance or personal), announce this stance publicly, giving out peace treaties will encourage more to start up thinking they can do the same and get away with it basically. I assume this has been realized now with the large number of copy cats out there. If you give out peace treaties and let them get over 1bil planets it would be suicide to try and take revenge on them at some time in the future. They get away with it (lots of free resources, nice account boost), know future actions against will be unbearably expensive (a lot more then 2000tril def on everyone!) so attacks won't be done on them in the future.

Tighten controls on the spread of the new omega ascension calculator which can be adapted to maximize attack builds with CER vs attack levels. Give updates to a few trusted people and if people want to use it they can ask for the personalized help, which won't help sniper accounts.

Most of all don't give up! Arrange a meeting (on the weekend because of time zones), try to include as many of the top 60 or representatives from their alliance as you can. The top 60 probably generate over 99% of the resources in ascension! you have only lost when you have given up.

Re: 2b Size Cap

until jason diggs his head out of his behind, there is nothing you can do to stop them. The ones hitting me a hitting blind. All but 1 keeps failing. The cycles are regular. Every 5 to 7 days the same people attack. 1 AT to test. None have a decent main account and the one that does is already in purg, and I can't follow him there.

Face it. Jason made this game to where it is solely for new accounts.


*Edit*

The second page is now passing the 2 bill mark

Re: 2b Size Cap

the top two pags really need to fight one another :)

I was stripped down from 150mill planets (tiny amount I know) to 40 mill planets because I kept rebuilding etc... was good fun :) its nice to know how long it takes me to recover...

but if you all fought one another you would find your CER climb back up for a while ;)

Note: When your total realm size exceeds 2 billion planets, your rate of growth slows...
You are currently growing at 42.04 percent of full capacity...This affects just new planet finds, not current planets
