limiting turns would be a great thing that is my belief..


Everything else is the developemnt of a game and at least where I live we have fun playing it...


But yes setting so that rich or poor have the same amount of turns would be great loads of tactic etc...

Get rid of unlimited ATs.
BEFORE there was the argument of "prices would skyrocket up", but see ATs prices now.
They ALREADY skyrocketed up. And no positive thing, any, came in return.
They're sooo screwed up that limitating ATs wouldn't even be a dramatic issue!

oops, my bad, should have added another option about the turns. i've edited it and you can now rtevote if you like :-)

i think the 2 worst (if not the worst) updates brought in were lifers and raiding, but thats just my humble opinion.

I notice a poll has gone up.

TBH, I don't think a reset is required, or the removal of a lot of those things - just get rid of auto-generated AT from the market. I have no problems with AT being tradeable - just AT that appear from thin air!

that fear and respect is what used to drive all of us to be better players so we could be the ones feared and respected, now all you need is a shed load of UU, a huge up and MS and peeps stay away from you....not to hard to go raiding for a week or 2 and your there!

Actually I feel that would lead to multies being useful once more so I would make it as ascension where turns are only acquired through your own backside...

I have to disagree... the values of everything are so inflated, not because of the never ending market, but because people learned how to cheat the system -- er I mean learned to how to use certain "features."

At this point, if it's possible, admin needs to close the hole and seriously consider a reset.

No reset just stop ATs unlimited and all will be fine!
Don't come with "and the prices then?" crap because you just to have to watch current prices and dare to tell me if RIGHT NOW ATs are limitated, and price goes x2, it wouldn't be SAME price than in few monthes WITHOUT ATs fixing, in other words, ONLY NEGATIVE POINTS will keep going on if we don't do anything!

guys the point here is what would fix the game once and for all and i'd have to say that a removal of unlimited attacks and send attack turns feature, complete removal of planets and raiding followed by a reset would be the only way to address some of the major issues with the game...something that in all honesty i cant see happening :(


hmmm...can someone please tell me what this thread was about when i made it?!?! :P

funny where this topic started and where we ended up lol

i miss esker

and i also miss saying that main should never have a reset

reset main remove planets remove unlimited turns(make turns purchased on the market all untradable)

dont really care about lifers but remove raiding

and of course fix up anti covert make it something more like it has a specialized attack instead of been used every time you attack and take huge losses each time

Raiding and unlimited turns helped many people grow large armies quickly. If you took it away now without a reset then everyone below 10 mil army will never have a way of catching up. I was never in favor of limited attack turns or a reset before(mainly because I was raiding) but lately it just seems like the sizes are out of control.. How many people are over 200 mil army now.. how many over 150/100?

the good old limits(buying limits raiding limits and army size limits)

well they could be very handy in making sure the new guys have a chance to catch up

so ya reset
