Age 71 Proposed Changes Suggestions

[jmiedema]

A better idea would be for warring KDs to step out of their comfort zone and actually learn how to properly whore, understand the meta of growth. Dont blame those that invest time into the meta for warring KD's laziness.

Soon as u realize that an entire age is simply one agreed war and u -Ceasefire and/or get taxed by everyone bigger than you- for 12 weeks, continuously, the sooner u will also learn to enjoy it.

Next we know we want a new server without gc "because some people suck at econ management" and just want everything to be free.

Fixed the important area. That is the area that is not fun for 90% of the server. Majority of people play utopia as a warring game, and I get that in its current form it is set up as a "Here's guidelines, do whatever you want, game" but to think that warring kingdoms should give up their fun, so whoring oriented kingdoms have "more people to play with up top" is faulty thinking imo.

The one MAJOR aspect of changes I am surprised noone is talking about, is the new War Win Bonus. Land reward bonus is a lot of land, and now it is being increased to 1.5x that land. I think warring kingdoms are blinded by the thought of 1.5x more honour that they don't realize that if you string 2-3 war wins together you are likely in the top 10 land/nw and now have to play with people that will farm you out and have their own set of rules.

It is going to be a very harsh age for some warring kingdoms I think who will get a few wars and then not know what to do when the top 5 come around to take their land and make deals with their own language on terms and how that works.

As a warring kingdom who generally sits in the top 10 by eoa, i can appreciate forcing kingdoms who have high war wins, but constantly stay small (*Cough CoL*) and force them to have to expose themselves to tougher opponents. Not sure that this is the way though.

If this War Win Bonus change goes through I think we NEED to have at least 4 day eowcf, even if it means 2 day max fort or something. Kingdoms coming out of a war will be very weak, and have now grown a ton of land and honour. This will just encourage further the meta of large kingdoms hitting a kingdom ruthlessly after eowcf ends to take that land/honour. Every kingdom in the top 20 that wins a war will be ruthlessly attacked im sure by all of the top 5 kingdoms straight oow. It will be a battle to see who can poach and gain as much off these "overgrown warring kd" that pop up. It will just turn into an age of "Warring Kingdom Whack-a-mole" One comes up, BONG, you knock them back down ruthlessly and decisively.

Warring kingdoms are going to need to be prepared to retaliate, and I don't think 3 day eowcf is going to give them that time (lets not pretend that fort matters here, because they will get vultured right through fort, almost preferrably because going into a fresh fort will mean they are more likely to not retaliate).
