Ive thought about this for about 10 seconds and thought that the AR mod sometimes is not as useful (or useless) for some people as it is for others. My reasoning:
If someone with 6000 land (we will call he/she "Dude 1") gets zeroed and land raped and is left with like 300 (or whatever) land, he/she gets an AR mod of 90% which then decreases over a certain amount of time.
At the same time, a person (we will call he/she "Dude 2") with the same score (and land) gets zeroed, but is left with say 5000 (or whatever) land, he/she gets an AR mod of 90% which decreases at the same rate.
Dude 1 has to wait a lot longer to build an army capable of stealing land. Of course he can buy some land but it wont get him to 5000. Dude 2 has to wait only a fraction of the time and can start getting his land back much sooner. Once he has his land he can build up his army much larger and stronger than Dude 1.
You will say, "of course, what has this got to do with AR mod?"
Well, Dude 1 has to wait longer to get more land, ie it takes him longer to get back to where he was. Thus his army is a lot smaller when his AR mod is at zero than Dude 2.
So overall Dude 2 loses the AR protection when he is much stronger and can defend himself. You may think, but Dude 1 has less land so isnt an attractive target and doesnt need AR mod. BUT look at the longer term. He could buy up to like 2500 land and then attack some people for another 2500 before his mod runs out. So he has a fair amount, but since it has taken him longer to get the land he has much less troops, and is therefore a more attractive target. Dont forget he would have to attack more and thus lose more troops doing so. The effect is exponential.
So what i was thinking was base the rate at which the AR mod decays on how much land he/she is left with. So for the person with 300 land it could take 10 days to run out, whereas the person with 5000 it takes maybe 3 days to run out, just as an example. Possibly, as they get more land the AR mod would decrease faster. So it could be calculated each tick.
Also it could be based on LAND FAT instead, just added for consideration. This may be a better option.
I realise many people will be against this just because they wont be able to predict AR mod of solos. But isnt that a good thing for solos? AR aint that great tbh. Polos extension does this also, so many people will be against this if they use it. I would like to hear reasoning though
