[Zopperoni]

Alright, I added your Queen on ICQ, and I hope to have a chat with her soon.

I'm on a break from the game right now. I deleted my Genesis account and I gave my BF account away, and already I feel much more at ease =)

[Eli]

Bump.
We're about to finish our pump.

In addition to science, I pumped almost 14k elites.

[Lemmy]

I decided to start playing again, landed in an avg kingdom on WoL.
Playing as Avian warrior, semi-suiciding for the elites.

[War4ever]

yeah my pump is done, got great scis, pumped 14k elites myself and helped some people out with cash ...

[Lemmy]

Plundering newbs and inactives is fun

I used most of the gold to max my sciences...when that was nearly done, i used it on elites, i'm plundering maybe 2 or 3 mil gc/day now...i expect it to drop once i get bigger -> less inactives.
But then i think i'll use the learn attack to keep my sciences high.

[Zopperoni]

Very good

What are the other letters between "SMURF" and "ELI" supposed to stand for, or are they random gibberish to make it twenty letters?

[Eli]

Random gibberish.

At first we wanted to insert some phrases into there, but then someone remembered that Pansies did the same last age so we settled for random.

[Eli]

We're about to end a long long pump in a few days, I'm well on my way to have 45k elites on ~2700 acres.

[Zopperoni]

Farking hell, that's 100 dpa with purely elites, and it only sucks up what? 50% of your population?

[Eli]

Ack!

We will be using this thread to post possible changes for the next Age of Utopia, set to start around September 7th. Please use the Bugs & Suggestions forum to post your suggested ideas for the next round.

At this point, race changes look to include strengthening of orcs and weakening of faeries. Undeads and dwarves may also need slight improvements.

Our main project is going to be looking at a possible redesign of the relations system yet again, to make it even more action-oriented rather than declaration oriented. One possible system includes:

* Wars would occur when two kingdoms had attacked each other (successfully?) a cumulative number of times - with actions needed by both parties to enable war.

* A "Hostile" declaration would provide offensive bonuses and accelerate the pace of potential war. However, War would no longer be limited to kingdoms one is hostile with. Kingdoms could declare 3 or 4 other kingdoms Hostile.

* "Peace" declarations would probably still exist, but their exact function hasn't been determined yet.

This is only a skeleton possibility of one proposal - we're open to other options and ideas in this area. The primary intent is to make wars a more natural progression of actual hostilities and avoid the "fake war" syndrome in the current system.

Additional possible changes:

* Attack gains would be have a relative kingdom size component. That is, attacking a large player in a large kingdom could net more than attacking a large player in a small kingdom. This would help protect larger players in smaller kingdoms.

* Possible addition of "Good" and "Evil" ratings. Different races would start with different ratings, but then each player would develop ratings based on their actions. There would then be various bonuses for interactions between certain styles of players (Good attacking Evil, etc). This is an area that needs to be far more developed (obviously) and may be something we look at for future rounds.
