Re: Age 4.5 part1 Your Views

Im somewhat curious to see how the enemies option will work out.
It says only the 10 biggest enemies will get a bounty. So for a pom there will be 10 bikers there or something?
I dunno, guess we'll see

Re: Age 4.5 part1 Your Views

I'll give the game a week or 2 before I post any real opinions on the changes, but changes now and then keep the game fresh and somewhat new.
My biggest concern, is the injury system, and how it will effect resistances/wars and such, but it's also the part I'm the most interested in. As I'll likely be inactive this round, it will make it so I don't need to keep signing in to rebuy stuff when I die :p

Re: Age 4.5 part1 Your Views

no seeing as Mene and MattM have already been recruiting for an ally of "Inactives" this round i dont see there being a "Protest II" i think hes saying PoMs will own due to injury system with them already being uber powerful and the only thing that kills them in one fail swoop is bikers, now seeing as 60% of what the bikers kill come back i dont see them being near as easy to kill off... but they also dont have the ability to use the new "enemies" thing other than on stealing.

I still think there should be some kind of insurance say 1% or something, just so you can stop pure geos incomings if you are solo or can't get defence.

Loving the sounds of the new enemies section, changes look good, although keeping an open mind, looking forward to see how it goes ;)

I think the new changes "look" good but too see how they actually work ingame is a different thing alltogether. Im going to wait and see how it all goes about before jumping into anything.

One thing that does look interesting is the Wars Abandoned / Lost / Won on the Alliance page.

Lets see how it goes!

Re: Age 4.5 part1 Your Views

I haven't read all the posts so maybe this was thought of before but wont the personal enemies if used while attacking make it possible to "sorta" figure out alliance id's? Maybe not the alliance names but id's within. This can be useful before spies come out.

LOL i mean i need to see it in action but if i understand some things right...

psolos only wait 2 hrs, and get upwards of 65% or more staff back depending on defense and other issues...

and then after that 2 hrs I get most troops back with a kickass AR?

omg. i can't wait.

tbh bush is an ally based game. allys make up most of the fun. if ur bored u check on how the top allys are doing etc not the solos. i always thought that solos should be less powerful than allys and now they are. i like it. more allied players = more allys = more wars. imo the game cn only benefiet (sp?)

Wrong. There are 23 alliances, 22 of which are private. That's a maximum of 416 players in alliances. The real figure is probably much lower. You think the other 600-odd people don't count?

550 of those other 600 people log on for less than an hour a day. ermm no they dont count :) if you added up the total play time of alliance players versus solo's you knwo where the active playerbase is. and id bet its in an alliance

And what about the little alliances? You think many of those are on for more than a couple of hours a day, if that?

The only active allied players are those in the top ten alliances. And even some of those are pretty inactive.

And I'd bet that it still doesn't make solo any less important.

I don't think solo took much of a hit at all this round tbh... But we'll See.

We won't know how the new changes are working until at least a fortnight into the round.. I'm waiting till round 27 to pass judgement anyway :)

i agree at the moment. ithink solos lost options with the lost of insurance

but they gained 65% injury. 25% more than the insurance could have given.

we will see :)

Re: Age 4.5 part1 Your Views

No one likes changes, Until i see why these changes where made for myself i don't really care.

Only change i do not like is attacking someone and knowing to zero them and see loads of pretty zeros you will have to return many times which means you will also be known as bashing the same person again and again.... no fun. I love zeroing :D
