This shit really takes too long.

I say we lose a large portion of the player base during this time where people come to the site and nothing is happening and they don't understand why or don't want to check the site for 5 years to see if the round has started yet.

haha

agreed.

Attempt #2:

Slingers changed into a hybrid spec. Gardeners changed into a transitional def unit.

Massive slinger pushes will still ruin the econ, and be limited by workers. However, the 1 def will allow the halfling a chance, of not flaring out, if they do specs OOP.

Gardeners train from peasants to allow the player to train def even if they are low on workers (it also gives more gold when sacrificing). 6 hr train times gives the player tactical reasons for training an inefficient unit. The 2.5 fd/hr is to boost the efficiency of the unit up to the equivalent of a 2 def unit (and thematically it makes sense).

Other changes:
"-8% Income" clarified, "-8% gold production"
Brewer produces 3.5 food/hour, from 1 food/hour
Bowman -50g, from 800g to 750g

Whine

Final changes are determined, but not yet anywhere in this topic!

Waiting for zip to post them when he decides if they are code-able etc

Out Of Protection (OOP) will be at 06:00 Tuesday, 19th of July

again 0600 ST... can it be something else since i was already penalised twice (OOP and last hit of the round) last round...

Do a delayed OOP. (Halflings should do extremely well with the high peasant population
)

Indeed, OOP system will be changed making other type of OOPs viable again

sure

"After game time 240, increase Pack realms to a maximum of 8."

Did you change the requirements or are the old ones still valid (<1500 acres/<4000 XP)?

The requirements are the same.

Most likely, it will be lowered in the future, because a kingdom at 1500 acres at day 10 might still be able to become a contender if a 6men realm picks him up as 7th (especially after land def *2.5, which means less land inflation)

We felt we might as well try to see how it works out with the current requirements, so that we at least have seen it being abused and have reason to lower it in future rounds.

Are the Achievements in?
