Income Protection
Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2010 11:29 pm
When I am attacking people to get naq I find that I'm being modded the entire time. Even if I attacked just ONE person I'd get my entire stash of naq jacked before I had a chance to click to the next screen.
I suggest making the funds earned protected for a certain ammount of time to actually ALLOW the person to use them. The current system allows anybody with a faster connection to snipe anybody trying to build something of their own. (And in Afganistan the Connection is very slow. Take into account that its a server based WISE system, and those are even slower because up to 20 people can be browsing from the same IP.)
A direct deposite, or protected funds time after a person aquires something would GREATLY improve the quality of this game for people who do not have acces to insanely high speed internet.
Direct Deposite- would be simple. Check a box that says you'll pay 5% on all income for it to be directly deposited into an account that cannot be touched until the next 30 minute turn. Then its fair game.
Income protection- Put a 3-5 minute window of protection on funds earned. So that would give people 5 minutes to actually see their funds, and use them when the turns shift, instead of clicking the button only to find that you were masking as soon as the other guy got his turns. Or give an attacker 5 minutes to actually use his naq before he can get masking by somebody with a faster connection.
Don't use the ''If you'd build defenses you wouldn't need the protection time" Because we all know that if you start this game even a week late you cannot build defenses to defend your assets. Even with the 72 hours of BP its impossible to defend yourself against the number 4 and 5 player on the server.
You guys want a way to make this game more begginer friendly, well here is one way to do it.
