Age of Tax

[home.alone]

Emeriti knows they would get stomped by FS even if they gave FS 4 days after eowcf being 20k acres larger so they can't afford it. It gives them crown yes, but how proud of your achievements can you be of winning a crown by going 0/0 and just taxing KDs? You could at least have some courage and agree to war in 4 days as Lord_Sampuan with having those 20k acres advantage. Advantage on econ side was probably huge cos FS got out of war and Emeriti has been pumping Sci whole age and yet you are afraid of warring 20k smaller kd in arranged war

I didnt see you come and cry when CR won one of their age with 0 wars as well? FS has really dropped their standards I see! If you cannot be smart, act dumb and cry :D

Congratulations SaMPuaN! I too am impressed by your ability to give land for CFs. You were so close to almost being able to fight the #1 KD that my faith in the playerbase has been completely restored. I can't wait to see what you'll bring to the table next round.

There was a 4 days difference between them and that. There's what, 50 ages of history in cheating between you and that?

Imo it also comes down to way of playing, you choose who you want to give land and who will have to fight you for it.
It doesn't have to be that almost every kd pays tax, thats their choice. I dislike the idea that kds won't challenge a-bit-bigger opponent just bcuz they don't have sure victory in their hand, everyone knows that that lead slowly builds up and that yr 10 when top dog has sci/wpa/land its near impossible to beat them so why not challenge them early, screw their plans make them work it, don't aim for flawless victory, basically if u entangle them in a fight where they can at best look for ww bonus for min time war that is not so good deal for them bcuz other challenger will wait for them and they won't have so much resources to build on.

Anyhow, I'd propose to shorten the age to 8 weeks and to have like 6 ages per year. Change pace of the game, if its general consensus that a kd who gets good early lead is in very favourable position to crown, at least this would give more incentive for other kds to war/challenge top dog as age is shorter and if they fail they won't be stuck waiting yr 14-17 to restart.

I'll post something off topic but it will kind of prove my point anyway here.

The mods here are either useless or biased or both (the one remaining that is).

We going to need about a week after this war end so 10 days or so from now?

Hows that relevant to our KD? Judge quoted Matija (BB/OS). I assumed he got info somewhere that we asked greeks for 10 days whereas we asked them for 2.

Hmm sorry but first of all I wasn't here last age (or whenever that happened with CR) and also I'm not part of FS or Emeriti lol. Just a member of community being bit disappointed at so claiming #1 kd running from a war vs contender while having 20k acres more and whole age of doing nothing but taxing and pumping sci

I'm going to say again that the gains curve is broken and makes winning wars against larger kingdoms nigh impossible. With a good start and proper diplomacy/timing of ceasefires, it is indeed easy to bully smaller kingdoms into a bad position. Gettling a lucky war to catch up can make the difference, but it's a hugely uphill battle.

This has been the case in every age since I've started playing again; this age is no different. We can complain about it, but what should be changed in the mechanics to balance it? Or is it just a problem of not enough players and kingdoms?

Clearly the answer isn't just "beat the larger kingdom" or that strategy would be tried more. It's not like the leaders of top kingdoms are incompetent; we can recognize an unwinnable war when we see one.

From what I remembered Emeriti also came out with a clown request of week 10 cf 3 ages back! But you guys didnt even give them a chance to make an 'official' request to tone down to week 3 or 4 CF.

A leader who is full of bull **** asking not to spread Bull ****! Irony at its best :D

EDIT - I forgot to say - 3 days of eowcf + 4 extra days + 48 hrs notice and that is 9 days? OMG THATS LIKE 1 WHOLE DAY LESS THAN YOUR ORIGINAL REQUEST!

Since Matija quoted the hits from FS vs Emeriti, I stayed on topic and told him the offer that FS gave us. But bleh I cannot expect more from you! I am sorry SIR Protector!

[MyNameIsMatija]

yes u asked for 10 days.

"You" as in me or my KD is not FS.

Have some manners please forum troll, ty. Get some arguments instead of just spamming your post count

A mechanics change would definitely help level the playing field. The Utopian societal structure is somewhat broken, too.
