Whats with the new SCIENCE

You wont get banned for posting with due respect, but you will for flaming people. If you'd like to actually converse then come back when you can post appropriately.

He's been whining on IRC all age. You should have kept that up because it had broken english and was funny.

Anyway, I like the system. It promotes fighting rather than passively pumping between building converts. I would like to see a mechanism where someone who is behind in average scientists generates them more frequently so I get less broken english QQing. I also wouldn't mind laboratories being stronger so they are at least somewhat useful to build. Overall, this is definitely an improvement. Gone are the days of automatically putting all sci to income for protection.

I dislike what's missing from the new science.
I know Zauper says it wasn't a challenge to get science before but there are 100s of people that felt it was. If someone couldn't spend a lot of time in the game and couldn't be pumped to be a great attacker or tm they could still get science. Now they get gold instead but that's far more easily stolen.
science used to increase activity. I know it may sound silly to active kingdoms. but people logged in to boast about their science or at least compare it to their kingdom mates. nobody does that now because it's luck based and instead of a friendly competition between mates it causes a rift because the game favored one over the other.
There were even players whose sole goal was to mass as much science as they possibly could.
It's taken away one form of competition. And even in the very active top kingdoms there was internal competition about science. dead and gone now :(

The thing is with whoring kingdoms you'd spend the overwhelming majority of your time pumping sci and wpa. i'm sure warring kingdoms didn't spend as much time pumping either, but all that prep time makes the age rather dull. I'm glad to be rid of these internal competitions as now there's more external competitions.
