Has anyone looked into the viability of using the transliterator function? I believe this is a great compromise. It don't break code old code on third party websites, and it allows players to really express themselves.

But but, what about the most important question?
Is Earth Empires primarily a war game? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Congratulations on scoring the kills.

Technically, stating "people who think the only proper attack of war is ABing" doesn't imply that they will not use AB. Just that AB is not their only option. Despite scoring the SS and BR kills, to my knowledge at the time of writing, her actions so far hasn't met the condition of: 1. "arguing with a spam tag" where AB is the only method to conduct war; or 2. only perform AB during the course of war.

Just my two yen. :)

I believe `echo transliterator_transliterate('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII', $countryName);` shall prove its usefulness.

As for moderation, there are players who already report inappropriate country names. There is no shortage of those who want to see the demise of another player.

Oh my, so we're rekindling this topic again.

For all intents and purposes, I'm another leader of Paradigm. I've asked the other clan leaders not to kick because there was simply no proof at the time when we received the pictures. I've presented my argument for why not.

Yes, the leaders were all looking through the pictures, checking, and judging. Technically, those pictures can be faked and I would hope EE staff wouldn't judge solely on such pictures alone. I know the pictures can appear really convincing and so on, but that doesn't necessarily prove that the cheating occurred in recent times. The pictures appear to be almost a year old.

In a hypothetical scenario where the events depicted in the pictures are accurate, that still doesn’t necessarily mean that I would have kicked Milkman from the clan. The absence of concrete evidence that he cheated in the last Alliance round or on any other game server is the reason for this. Considering that approximately a year has passed since the alleged conversation occurred, there’s a chance that he may have completely ceased any cheating activities. EE staff does give chances, don't they? Paradigm don't knowingly recruit such players; such players would have to have several months worth of good conduct before they would even get a chance at membership.

At best, the only thing that picture did was provoke suspicion. So Doug then suggested that I go report to the game moderators, which is what I ended up doing while providing the pictures to trigger an in-game investigation.

After the moderators found that Milkman had indeed cheated, we then started the kill run on Milkman's country, despite the fact that EE staff took no action on Milkman's country on the Alliance server at the time.

We're not going to kick people just because we're presented with pictures that appear convincing. My mindset at the time of judging is that you simply want to spite Milkman at all costs.

I called it:

As of now, this game only accepts English/Latin Alphabets.

I do recall last round in alliance, someone attempting to use a Russian/Cyrillic country name, and it failed, resulting in a blank country name.

Our non-English players would greatly appreciate change and it'll give us more ways to express ourselves.

Please consider allowing more characters for country names. I too would like to be able to name my country with non-latin characters.

BUMP.

This library can be used to fix this bug here as well:

For example, when attempting to quote ツ, you'd get something like this:

That doesn't address the problem with being unable to retain players. Sure it adds players, but I doubt they'll stick around.

Unless this game is made to be a bit more fun to lose, such as,
1. To lose land/buildings and quickly recover land/buildings in as many turns;
2. Dealing damage is balanced by the amount of effort it takes to do damage (put as much effort as it takes to produce assets); and
3. With the significant reduction in construction cost/turns, and military expenses/food consumption

I don't see any hope of being able to keep players in Alliance in its current form.

True. 🙂

I believe the biggest issue is that there is virtually no way to retain the chances of finishing in rank 1 after winning a war. Just by participating in a war whether you wanted to or not is an instant game over.

Another issue is the lack of strategy balance. Players suggesting rotating buffs/nerfs is a symptom to this kind of issue. For the past 12 rounds, or two years, the only thing that finishes in rank 1 was a Fascist before converting over to Theocracy. One exception being a Tyranny which looks like a techer. https://eestats.lafamiglia-ee.eu/alliance/oldranks For the past 12 rounds, check rank #1 country's history.

There is no compelling reason for most countries to buy anything other than jets while playing with almost no army.

The expenses are too high to justify the cost for defense. It's sad to buy defense only to still get rekt anyway. I'm not saying that 0 defense is good, but right now, a serious attempt at defense is not a good use of money if one is serious about finishing in rank 1.

Building a country takes effort; griefing virtually effortless. There is no good way to recover from griefing, you're basically out of the race if someone kicks down your proverbial sand castle. It'd be nice to be able to rebuild faster and cheaper. As of now, construction is expensive and consumes too many turns.

1. I agree that external tools have contributed to the negative experience.
2. Killing within seconds is something that can be done even without a bot. Tools didn't enable this.
3. I agree that killing should take longer. Defense in this game is somewhat a joke.
4. I like the idea of rotating buffs/nerfs, but I believe the market condition should influence this more. As of now, we're lacking balance. Farmers can store with less penalties compared to other strategies which makes farming very powerful. It's difficult for Industrial communists to finish better than other strategies.
5. I like the idea of adding more random elements to the game.

A friend of mine said it best: In general, people don't like the idea of spending weeks building up something only to have it gone in a flash.
