Req here back from retirement- why would you bros mess w Celphi like that? Did he hurt your egos?

Don't mess with bros like that.

P.S. Rybka 💪

Req- back to retirement.

In the grand scheme of Earth Empires, where every thread tells a tale of conquest, companionship, and the occasional casualty (RIP Chevs aka Real Man aka Giga-Chad), our journey has indeed been one for the ages, from the early days of courageous strategies– OOP tag killing LaF– to the end game moral victory watching the G-Man get aided to 3b NW to forever be in the book of the illegitimate– time to make a new profile and get deleted by Slagpit (TM).

Ah, the timeline– a saga of friendship forged in the fires of digital warfare and strategies so crafty they could make a Swedish game mechanic blush– and did with the aid of Qzjul. From the inception of The BOMB, a beacon of innovation and mischief, to the strategies that saw us ascend to glory, we've Truly (pun intended) done it all. To think, it all began with a "suicidal" (Suck it old man, the only snowflake I see here) pact that blossomed into the unlikeliest of alliances, proving once and for all that in the heat of battle, even the fiercest of enemies can become the best of friends.

Our raids into the political conspiracy of alliance leadership, the thrill of undercover operations (with only the occasional slap on the wrist for our daring), and the endless pursuit of victory, have been nothing short of legendary. We've seen the rise and fall of Earth Empires, and through it all, we've stood together as Real Men.

To CNB, the fearless leader of "xSOLx," and to all who have been a part of this magnificent journey, I raise my glass. Here's to the battles fought, the friendships forged, and to the next chapter, wherever it may lead– hopefully lots of Trulys and hookers. May our paths cross again, and may we always remember the time when we ruled Earth Empires.

Salud, Mi Familia. The game may be over, but the legend will live on.
Yours in retirement (but I am always ready for a comeback), and I am playing in PDM (TM).

P.S: Never the aggressor. The insurance policy is undefeated. We win. SUCK IT NERDS!

How would light know who is in my tag?

Hmmm I don't see a DM.

I'm awaiting an official explanation from their leader(s).

Why are you killing my tag (Cloud9)?

We are two people…

If you're going to hit someone, do it and quit pounding your chest.

Just do something, or not. No one cares.

Last but not least: no one cares.

Caught exception: Division by zero.
Hello World

KEK KEK

Low-key one of the best changes yet :D

QFT

I like the idea of not having to be available 24/7. Setting up notifications while you sleep and having your phone or laptop by your bed is a bit much for me these days.

I would agree on anything that can improve that for QoL.

That does suck for the people who can and do go to the lengths it takes to wall 24/7. I'm not sure what to give back to them for their dedication.

I think the biggest problem is that it seemed like a rushed release because it was not a thoroughly tested production-ready PR that was pushed into production. There were some side effects, and all had a weird set!

I still believe just hard coding in pacts into the game + preventing loopholes (such as untagged suiciders, etc. etc.) would give everyone mostly what they want. There would still be an ability to sign pacts, which would be guaranteed to be upheld or not, which still gives a bit of uncertainty in the game. And before you say that some will just not pact others they do not like, I think that is incorrect. Even the most unlike clan could fully pact out some of the time.

If we want to go the ClanGDI route in its most extreme form—total protection—then we should probably also address the FA/Market transfer issue. This would allow clans with zero consequences for FA/Market to aid people into top spots.

At this point, I don't care what you do, but something prob ought to be done:
1. PvE and PvP server (without significant changes other than the PvE or PvP aspect– just copy and paste this server and make it PvE).
2. Game-enforced pacts
3. ClanGDI total protection with changes to address FA/Market aid abuse

I am genuinely curious about which category you see yourself falling into in this mixed bag.

/dislike php :p

Aint nobody safe around here!

I'm not going to spend a bunch of time looking around but I am sure it has been brought up before.

https://www.earthempires.com/...k/forum-mods-34066#618163

Martian for example talks about it.

A user following the happy path such as a basic forum search is, in my opinion, not an exploit. Now if I were to say leave the happy path and find some kind of odd URL param that allowed me to see info I shouldn't... Then I would agree that's an exploit.

But at some point we are just talking semantics, but be humble slag don't be a jerk.

Replace the word exploit with "bad code"

You can dish it out but cannot take it back.

I thought you were a real man. Such a pitty.

EDIT: Ok now only bonus posting.

LOL it took me longer than I would like to admit :p

Don't judge me!

Slagpit was actually president of Bomb fun fact:

History: https://eestats.lafamiglia-ee.eu/...iance/oldcountry/2314/406 (check history to see all country names)
Profile: https://www.earthempires.com/profile/20/alliance

Slagpit is Chevs. I've been fooled.

Edit: ok now only bonus posts.

If I am unwelcome in the game, permanently ban my account, and that is that. I will not make a new account.

I will resort to only bonus posting until further notice.

That's only because it doesn't show sets before, like, uh, 2022 or something, maybe 2021, on the auto-open profile. Cannot remember.

Look at his other stats to see he did indeed play:

Networth	$1,077,728,707	#367
Land	285,974	#538
Top 100	7	#318
Top 10	2	#101
Best 3	$185,519,397	#246
Attack Success	97.47%	#178

Pop Killed	1,083,328	#761
Attacks	2770	#813
Missiles	226	#644
Defends	2419	#909

Yes, he has:

There are a lot of _Netting_ clans there, too.

Bad4u
weedylar
FunT

PENIS

To name a few off the top.

NW changes and time stamps work for a lot of things. You know data.

Edit: bonus

100% it’s soccer.

You care because you took time and energy to reply.

I would emphasize the alliance server's social aspect– playing with others who help teach and foster your growth in the game. I would convey that it's not just about individual achievement; it's about being part of a team where your actions contribute to the success or failure of your alliance in both war or the top 10 list. The added layer of social interaction offers more than the other servers– join discord, irc, etc, and collaborate outside of the game.

My bad if I misunderstood your intent there.

My concern is that getting too far away from the traditional game too quickly would be much harder to manage and I am not sure I would enjoy a game that doesn't feel like classic Earth 2025. That is the last opinion I will post.

And that is what my post was about as well. You want to convince me of your opinion vs. just taking in more information—my opinion.

Don't ask for an opinion so you can use it to debate.

I think you're arguing for a different game not Earth:2025's continuation.

It's fine, though. You don't have to convince me. I posted my thoughts. Do what you will, not really a debate to be had here.

A more elegant and perhaps simple solution is to code the pacts into the game (and possibly prevent untagged yadda yadda– close other loopholes) so they cannot be broken. That way, an alliance could still pact out and have a peaceful netting set, maybe one set, someone doesn't do the pact, etc. This would still have a certain level of uncertainty but without taking away _all_ of the other aspects of the game.

This would still require some level of cooperation between players. My concern with your netting server idea is that its too much change. You are proposing going from Earth Empires v2.0.0 to v5.0.0 in one leap. Small incremental change is the smart and safe way to go about this.

All that is just my opinion on the matter. Take it, leave it, or disregard it at your own convenience.

Clearly the only solution here is to FA me.

But I guess SOs might help with that on second thought.

I feel like removing the TMBR destock removes some QOL gameplay. I don't want to have to spend a ton of time camping the market to jump.

* Only SS attacks are permitted.
--> We should also be able to PS. Will bots join GDI? If so, also the ability to declare war.

* Attacking military losses increase by 1% for every 2 attacks that have been performed over the full round. For example, if a country has performed 200 attacks then they could lose 100% of what they sent on an attack.
--> I don't know how I feel about this kind of limit. For example, in 1a, I've already done 200 attacks. Does this mean that after let's say, 25-30 days, I am basically done grabbing?

Thanks, Celphi– you're awesome sauce too 💪

Kick its ass KoH!!!

Just hold enter.

You have a pretty good list there.

For netting: Most people never want to be grabbed while they are netting. With how the game is designed, a retal is always possible because even if all things are equal, you have 3 offensive ally slots, which does tilt the advantage to the attacker in all scenarios, provided they have 3 friends to ally. This makes a retal nothing more than a tax imposed randomly by people who attack. If someone is targeted more than others, it creates an unfair netting environment. Then you have the whole top-feeding issue and what is right or wrong to get your land back?

War: Missiles are OP. Spy ops are OP. Walling all night sucks. Dying in 10 seconds sucks. The restart bonus kind of sucks when you have to kill someone more than 2 times– I think after the second death, you should go all the way to zero. Need I say more :p

I've been of the opinion we need two Alliance servers:
1. PvP server
2. PvE server

PvP is your classic Alliance server we have known for 20+ years (with the addition of bots). The PvE server would be a server in which you just cannot attack real players and can only attack Bots.

This gives me a place to play both ways, and I think I would lead to the best outcomes. I think many people would play both servers, but that is just a guess.

Nice to see Llaar building a clan again :p

p00glets!
