Express is definitely *the* place to play RN. imho.

Its got game, finally ;)

I'm as stupid as the next guy playing, but 100's antics were pretty special for what appeared to be a country trying to net gain. lol

Ohh I forgot one major factor why I like the bots; People used to benefit so much from landfarms, still do on team every now and then. It is a problem to me both on the servers where its cheating and where it is not... if you have a landfarm on primary you might not be caught and therefore gain an unfair advantage. if you have a landfarm on team that a friend run for you you gain an unfair advantage even tho its not cheating with the present rules. It's bad for competition.

On alliance a few sets ago a guy had a landfarm for 3 weeks(and two other landfarms for a couple of days) but because of the bots the strong players were keeping up with him(because he was not very good) and he had no chance to win despite landfarms. Remove the bots and he would win even if suicided.

This is a totally legit point imho. It makes it so that, at best, multi runners have a minor edge in knowing their multi(s) are effectively a bot. Actual bots negate any significant edge.

I'm certainly not against bots for this reason. Not at the expense of a bit of Mano-a-mano though ;)

Interesting you really all seem determined to destroy the human aspect to the game.

I think the point of hitting humans is balancing the risk reward. Something I personally think is a much more interesting mechanic than see how fat I can get hiding in GDI and farming bots.

Running a rainbow and topfeeding is stupid, running a high producing country that has already stockpiled, midfeeding rainbows and jumping out of range... it smarter.

The subsequent random suicide by a wholly “unconnected” country is funny. You know you have them beat if they have to multi :)

So I'm vaguely aware that people generally accept some kind of 1:1 retal policy. I understand on games like Alliance there is a 72h window for this kind of thing.

Express is 5x faster so, one might think the retal window is 5x shorter.

Apparently not. I been retalled in the closing hours for 4 figure acreage, for hits made barely OOP.

If thats how things roll though, then....

Congrats to all t10. Special shout outs to those not in GDI.

What's really sad, is that with the mentality of the current set of players it ends up so that *evryone* ends up GDI.

Then it basically descends to "everyone is allowed one hit"

What a crap game.

IMHO.

if you dont like the format go elsewhere. go play tournament or team if you want to do less tap people.

"retail. do not grab me. EVER. k thanks bye"

Perhaps it is you, who does not like the (new) format.

Kill a country, get random % randoms amount of time. Tweak for balance. Adds a kill incentive, which is otherwise lacking in a purported war game.

200% ends with "kill trading". Do not want.

It's quite a problem to unravel. I'm sure many will have superficial answers but few will look deeper.

No, no it's not and this matter has been brought up and discussed many many many moons over, unfortunately the one who can get land back is the first one(s) that hits back before the death sentence.

Well, looks like you have it all figured out! Silly me.

Have you considered that finishing #1 isn't just about how much NW *you* can get, but also how much you can stop your opponents getting... Is anyone familiar with this text...

"Command your country's military to attack and defend against your enemies. Execute attack strategies to relieve opponents of their resources and land."

Shooting bots in a barrel is all well and good - but this is a MMORPG... the key M being Multiplayer.

You simply cannot fix stupid.

The OP hasn't needed a forum handle for about 15 years.

Taking nothing away from Ebert, love seeing what he's doing right now, way out of my league :)

I was just surprised that anyone cared enough to pay attention to me, considering what riddler said.

I was 1:4 jets turrets and highest NW on server. Would you grab it? me neither.

But yeah, if I was a "good" target for some n00b to LG then so be it. Perhaps the guy was just *really* bad at finding good targets - he did finish 14th after all - and his rainbow strat was just embarrassing to witness. I reckon someone that actually knows how to run a decent country could be much more dangerous if they geared specifically for top feeding.

Fortunately that isn't me. I'm just here to net.

Hello Express.

I noticed that there is a thread about how people who aren't regular t10 often get topfed, or suicided.

Obviously this is nonsense. As a n00b myself that by chance found myself t10 this reset briefly, I was most definitely not topfed, it is clear to me that no action needs to be taken.

In particular, as a person who has never been topfed, I would never bother to start messing with other people's resets.

As a n00b, earth etiquette can be confusing to me. I hope I'm doing it right.

With Love,

UgolinoII
