Nice. Can you access every country like this?



Almost all them. If they have a player profile you can. Go to the main page and click “top players” on primary.

Go back to the last set and look at the little square boxes beside their name. Click on that box and you can go to the player scores and history’s by server. It will show you all of their past set scores and records and you can look at their country builds. Some players have theirs blocked though but not many.

It has a ranking system for highest scores and wars and kills, it’s pretty cool.

Cath are you serious? That’s not even the same comparison.

Tmac is just built different. He is proof that someone can be a good player AND be a good person at the same time.

What r u on about United States conquering the world? Why would we want that? The defense industry would go broke if that happens.


I’m not comparing them, I just thought it added context for people to understand that arguably one of the best or the best best to ever play the game didn’t have any big special trick. At turn 600-1,000 I have watched him go from behind me to leaving me in the dust. It’s an intelligence thing. They are a mathematical genius. I’m not talking about just T or Gerdler. Serpentor was brilliant. Oldman. H20. Crest23. I don’t doubt at all that if you had them tested that most or all of them are geniuses or very very close to that in terms of IQ.

How high do bushels need to be in primary for a demo farmer to be equal in strength to a rep casher pound for pound?

What percentage of sets does this typically happen?

How would one stack up if those $110 bushels from last set lasted? Twice as strong?

Farmer seems to be very weak set after set. Is this accurate?

That's how the game works, it's always been that way, you either fight for your right to net or die doing it, now the few get their way via changing game codes because they failed as leaders and can't protect their sheep, instead of new leadership (as was the consequences of poor diplomacy when this game was originally designed) now they resort to fascism changing the code in the name of "protection for netters" they have game devs in their pockets I'm guessing, can't put my finger on it....not yet at least....

that's the narrative. You somehow think Evo was behind every bad thing that happened to you, when Evo was pacted to everyone. Even PDM wanted FDP because of the suiciders going around *cough blackhole*. LaF was looking for any pretense to go to war with us, starting with dropping the pact randomly because of Req, when really it was that tmac set a record which hurt some of LaF's feelings, and their leadership couldn't have that.

Even the FA as I've noted was a pretense, because it was one guy who sent it to SOL / SOF and he even posted on the forums that he expected Gains or Gerdler to reach out for diplomacy as they typically did if it was a problem, and guess what, they didn't. Rather than LaF have any extremely basic semblance of diplomacy, they killed a bunch of non-war prepped countries who did not send the offending FA. And then, by getting killed and actually fighting back with our restarts, you somehow think that makes it okay to grief us more? So by your logic, if Evo was the larger member alliance, we should be able to tag kill you for multiple sets in a row for transgressions by single players, like you and Rokkie? And if you fight back, we'll add on a few more sets. And we'll hit your close allies... uh, so I guess just LaF... but do you see that you're actually worse than the other "block"? I've tried to make it really clear.

TLDR for Req and others - Karnage admits what we've been trying to say all along, LaF didn't want Evo to net if they couldn't net, though they got into the war due to their poor diplomacy and then continued to fight it of their own volition (OOP FS FTW), and then refused to admit they lost but also whined they couldn't net, until they cried for development to let them save face to the detriment of every other player.



Accurate, fair, and also hilarious.

I could not agree more, excellent posts and the owner is asking for feedback. You should go copy and paste your posts here (link below) so he sees them. Maybe a few extra voices will help.

The lack of new players and new players being abused when people notice a n00b are the two main issues I’ve noticed as well. They need a n00b server or netting server to learn and have fun on.

I think the influx of players could be done very easily by paying some YouTuber or tik toker or viral marketing advertising company to get the word out.

I would contact some YouTube and offer them $500 cash to pump your views on their channels. That may be your best bet. That’s all the rage now so that’s the way to go.

Tik tok as well. Either one of these could easily bring in thousand if not hundreds of thousand of views and potential new players


But if they come and get wrecked by you a**hats being a**holes they won’t enjoy it and return.



This is why you need a netting server for them to learn on. War server for the big bad wolfs and bragging rights.

The other users who have pointed out as well that there are a LOT of old players that would come back that may not know about this place.

I found it by chance. Advertising seems to be of the utmost importance. New players will solve the toxicity to a large degree. Being cooped up with the same people gets very old. You guys simply need new blood.

Sounds like a war server and a netting server would solve most of your problems.

Maybe it would be worth it to create a hall of fame and just Ax alliance and primary and create a netting server and a war server in their places.

Make an old hall of fame for the guys with a big ego and let the past be the past and use what you guys have learned to create a better game.

Both sides have been toxic and i bet a fresh start may breathe some fresh air into the place and excitement for the old heads. A new mountain to conquer.


A king of the hill server that allows multiples and clans and anything goes period would be the most popular server I bet. That’s when the game was almost fun was the Wild West.

So maybe a better way to go about this would be to create a GDI netting server and keep the original alliance the way it is. That seems like it’s closer to something everyone agree on. But then the netters will be upset their scores aren’t considered real but they aren’t real scores if you are hiding so it’s a fair point as well to say those scores deserve to be on the n00b server if they can’t hang on this server.


Handicapping the server so they can win is a very fair point to argue is favoritism

I’m just trying to think of a way everyone can be happy. There has to be some in between everyone can agree on. Having an original Wild West server with multi’s allowed would be awesome actually and I would personally enjoy it. A n00b server isn’t a bad idea either. It’s always worked great in tournament because the little guys get to have a win as well. At least let them have some bread crumbs while we big guys feast.

No I think you’re just upset because this behavior is obviously indefensible and there is zero logical explanation for why you not getting to terrorize some n00b ruins your game.

If you have a problem with someone brand new to the game being able to learn without having refuge from stalking abusing behavior then it speaks loud and clearly as to what your intentions are.

Do you really need to claim to be the king of war against a guy who has never played the game before? Why would you even want to claim to be king of the douchebags how does that make any sense at all

If you get what you want then why would you care if I decided to play a bot farming server? I don’t understand your urge to control others game experience if you can have exactly what you want as well. There is no reason you have to control others just so you can do what you want with your time.

I like the wars and I like netting but I don’t understand the raging over your inability to AB some n00b who plays the game for their first time. Actually just seems like a **** thing to do which was my original point if you read my posts above.

It doesn’t have to be either or. One could very easily have a war server, a netting server, and a beginners server for n00bs to learn and actually have a chance
At winning. They don’t even have a chance the way it is.

It seems both sides are only thinking about what they want personally rather than the good of the actual game and if one side wins the other side loses when in actuality both sides can win.

2. Netting server

Oh yea we played on team. You run some impressive countries. I’m just being honest. Some of (a lot of) guys here take things too far. I see it on both sides as well and a lot of people don’t want to play a game if your going to be abused and have mean people try and hurt your feelings.

I sound like a woman or lefty I know but it’s true.

Due to recent betrayals by the king of France, Tertius was burned at the stake for witchcraft and Tmac and Nite had to flee to North America and the Caribbean. Rumor is T started a new lodge in the west and that Nite is flying the skull and bones and raiding merchant ships and has started a band of pirates. Andrews location is unknown, probally plotting another revolution knowing him.

Having said that The Brotherhood of the Snake is now reborn as Order of the Dragon.

Order of the Dragon (Latin: Societas Draconistarum, "Society of the Dragonists")



we and the faithful barons and magnates of our kingdom shall bear and have, and do choose and agree to wear and bear, in the manner of society, the sign or effigy of the Dragon incurved into the form of a circle, its tail winding around its neck, divided through the middle of its back along its length from the top of its head right to the tip of its tail, with blood [forming] a red cross flowing out into the interior of the cleft by a white crack, untouched by blood, just as and in the same way that those who fight under the banner of the glorious martyr St George are accustomed to bear a red cross on a white field

QZ asked for feedback and I left it. Hard storyline to keep up with I know. Lot of plot twists there to navigate.

This is the type of behavior I am talking about Qz. A large portion of your player base go out of their way to be abusing to new players or just people in general.


My advice is ban all of these abusing anti social people who are running off your new players and make no mistake they are.

Any business in this day and age cannot allow their customers to be abused by the low life’s that any business will attract that like to hang around.

If you have to ban the entire player base and replace them I would. If they don’t care enough about this game to cherish and protect it then they don’t belong here.


I think a lot of people are thinking it and don’t want to say it and ruffle feathers but you have a lot of abusive bullies here. BH is absolutely correct about that. He also is an idiot that provokes everyone and kicks the hornets nest. Pretty funny to watch actually.

Your issue isn’t the game play, it’s that your player base is grumpy boomers who have played against each other for decades and hate each other now, yesterday and tomorrow.

Any business that does not being in new customers and advertise will lose $$$ and shut down eventually. It’s the main mistake small business owners make. Restaurant people always do that and close down 12 months later.


Rookie mistake and an easy one to correct as well.

1. Estats layout is better suited for mobile where you can see everything at once (for phone users not having to scroll is nice)

2. Needs to offer something that what already exists doesn’t offer.

Put up a top ten hall of fame section for War mongers and Netters and it will be added to my favorites. Very nice work though. My only complaint is the information it offers is already available in game. You need some type of unique bait to lure the fish in to catch em.
