[quote poster=dagga; 18647; 347486]5 Simple Ways to Make Alliance More Fun and Promote Member Growth
1. Do not let a country hit more than twice a second by filtering/ignoring any additional attacks made within that span. Think of the system that doesnt allow you to forum seach twice every 8 seconds? You guys already have a working implementation!
2. Do not let countries use special attacks until they have played 800 turns or have declared war on the target (yes you can still AB LAF - just one country at a time)
3. Give restarts MORE bonuses. Currently, the balance is out - not enough cash/resources to rebuild means cashing meaningless turns for the first day or so and relying on aid. Take away the turn based cash granting system and give restarts 10% of previous resources (cash, tech, bushels, oil). Reward well built countries.
4. Do not let alliances hit their own countries for DR, or spy on their own countries for DR. Do not allow re-entry into a tag for 48 hours once exited. While you're at it - restrict FA packages to only FA pacts.
5. Do some work on an alliance vs alliance war dec system. Make it a token system (to start) with a [DECLARE WAR] button for tag admins and then an announcement in an alliance news bulletin. [/quote]
1) sure although only alliance or FFA will be mad again.
2) could be better solutions but meh. Could just not war on day 4.
3) Restarts get enough.
4) Everything is silly. GSing is something used by small clans typically or people being mass farmed. Why take it out? Why disallow reentry. Pointless. Restricting FA seems another pointless solution and I don't see the problem it is designed to fix.
5) I don't see the point in doing it halfway personally.
Also, any change is not a good thing. A good change is the only good change,
