1) reduce kingdoms to 20 people, so that there would be more kingdoms whoring. and hence delaying/razing tactics work. too little kingdoms at the top makes delaying/razing not variable
2) introduce smartphone app, get more pple into the game.

either those 2.

Ofcourse this thread is about ages 50-60. Once Proteus does his morning dump, history gets brought up ;) Just sit back and enjoy the fireworks before he gets to his office :D

Except neither of these solve the real problem; a lack of competent and willing leaders. Kingdoms don't die because they can't field 25 people, they die because the leadership isn't willing to make the effort anymore. Bringing in new people isn't going to create quality leaders for good while, and this game wont last that long.

I think lowering roster sizes would help. One of the main reasons people CBA to lead is that it takes time too recruit players. Eoa comes and it is not rare to need to replace 5 players. Not sure who it was that loled I made a thread to recruit but during essay deadlines I don't want to be manually recruiting 100s of people on IRC. Bumping the thread is sufficient enough. 20 player maximum sized rosters would break up the current big kids and there would be more 20 player kingdoms to compete. They need to somehow stop banking. All attempts so far have been fail.

Banking never was problem for game. Its affect few kds. In past when we had more good kds we had more Kds with banks. Age 50 is very good example. We had like 20 kds with Cows.

But when there is only 5 kingdoms going for the Land/NW crown it isolates all other 25 man kingdoms going for it such as ZZ, Simians, EJ, WSK, Koalas, SPGC and a few other top kingdoms. If there was a way any of them could break into the top it might make the game more interesting. Currently at this stage in the game any of them growing would be a farm out too BB, Pew, AMA if they grew in range due to science/banks etc.

[Sheister]

well a reduction of provinces to 20 would actually contribut to controlling cows. They have 20-25% fewer provinces to draw aid from in that event.

Elit it is just silly to say that running cows does not harm the game. The skill (and I use that term loosely to embrace discipline and coordination as well) difference required to manage and create one effectively locks out most kingdoms. In most kingdoms that do cow, I can tell you the amount of grumbling to create cows from EXPERIENCED LONG TERM PLAYERS is astounding. How much more so newer kingdoms.....?

[tetley]

so when does this kick off?

Its funny how you talk this age about being more interest but you did different last age. Last age RBL had cows and you had 3 weeks free pump and jumped on AMA right after our b2b wars. AMA was smaller and no COWs. Did you care for let us prepare for "make it more interest"? This age AMA have Cows and you don't have. But We give you time for prepare war us. How you see game mechanic alone have less impact from "human factor".

Its don't harm game. Have impact for 4-5 kds and its only if they war. Arranged farm out wars past few ages is what kill game and make people leave it. Have impact for all charts and affect much more kds.

[Proteus]

Are we talking about ages 50s again?

You were bad ages 1-present, not sure why you are asking, doesn't matter what age we talk about since you were bad in all.

[SnirpsneR]

Cows are good. If there was no cows, elit had to be core province and attack. And he sucks at whoring!

As said, it is apart of the game and it kills the competition. We are not all as skilled as you Elit to overcome a no cow advantage. Just like the call of duty franchise that grew, you need to make it noob friendly so anyone can play it if you want it to stay alive and grow.

I use to play a game called "Socom" on the PlayStation that required great patience and skill and provided hours of fun but as it took a massive learning curve it slowly faded out and died to call of duty as people couldn't commit the time and effort. If this game doesn't adapt to cater for the noobs, it'll die too :(
