Do it. You know you want to.

well express is easy to win all explore at the moment

any real need for another one?

guaranteed suicide free!

I think this is a pretty good idea.

"its easy to win with all explore in express" - if you don't get suicided. That's a very big IF.

"Guaranteed suicide free" is the motto lol.

Other things that should be removed from the all-x server: spy ops, relations(alliances), clans/tags.

then itu would be fun

could just make an offline singleplayer mode then, with an online highscore list.

programmed market buy/sell prices that vary based on the turn, maybe with some random factor lol

and some other random events:

"your alliance was obliterated by bots. also there is a post on at that says your alliance will be ab'ed oop for the next three resets"

"your head ia officer and ten of your members were caught cheating. all alliances have dropped pacts with you claiming they can't trust you."

"the game can't be played right now. 'server' is down, it's friday night and the admin won't notice it before monday morning"

w00t

lol

all explore server sounds cool, but offline single player and/or randomized market events sound fail. I like this game because there are other real players I am competing against that I can interact with, if only through the markets.

Yeah I'd play this.

no mil units needed then (like who would buy military since can't get attacked) and only techs needed would be busi, resi and agri. govts would be rep, demo and fasc. destocking should be very interesting due no indies or mbrs.

fluff I didn't think about that.. but I guess you'd need military to be able to 'destock' in the first place?

so having military in hand would be requirement for destocking? still indy/mbr would be useless most of set (w/o selling at priv which would suck big time). all-x server where 1 attack per tgt per day would be much better since then indies/mbrs would be usable strats.

I think we really just need to emphasize the market nature of the game. Like I think theo reseller could be a viable strat with a strong market component, as well as indies and such.

I have a couple ideas =) [not all of them would go well together]

We could aide the market buy increasing all prices on private markets by 1.5x to 2.0x...this could make indy a more viable strategy since they could sell good for much higher prices.

I think there should be a limited number of attacks per day (like 1 or 2) and only SS or PS, likewise no harmful spyops. I think this would be better than NO attacks and still make suiciding REALLY hard. But would add a little spice. Maybe a random number between 1-3 attacks per day :-P Same number for all countries

This might be stupid, but military could have no upkeep cost or food consumption and it would just become like a market game

Oiler would basically be a dead strategy (other than buyouts) it should be removed from the game (in this version).

make tech worth a lot more NW (maybe like 10-20 per pt?), so that teching could maybe be a viable strategy to get a lot of NW


this game would suck hehe :P

basically I want to make it all explore / market server


also if you got rid of military food consumption you would need to make food cost 360 again and/or make civs eat A LOT MORE

you'd have to go techer heh

if no1 can't attack then why any1 would buy military before near end of set?

yea; it would eliminate the need for SDI, weaps, warfare, medical tech.... Commie's, indy's, MB's, military tech kindof.... spies... (unless we allowed spyops still).... oil... military alot of the time.... tyranny, dictatorship....

results=dumb and boring server. good for facebookers. :P

reselling...make them have no cost..hehe..market game!

enshula is right
if u want an all explore server play express

DR lasts 20% of the set
all x can drop land, wargainers can not
this is a destocking penalty imposed on anyone who attacked at any time ever during the set
admins want to make sure LGs held to bare minimum

Ofcourse there are gameplay factors that would change significantly, I didn't sit down and have a long hard think before I posted.

The idea of 1-3 SS or PS a day is good. Means you still need the different techs, govs and mil. But you can be safe knowing you aren't going to get suicided or farmed to crap.

There are what, 6 servers at the moment? This is just a niche one, and if it doesn't take off in popularity, then switch back. Warmongers feel free to play a different one. No biggie.

Express doesn't work for me, I much prefer the turn count and length of Alliance.

insane market game. :D

This server already exists. It's called Alliance!

nope, alliance is be big or get farmed.

haha I really wonder how many people would run c/i on an all explore server=)

would be a good server for noobs to start out on imo

few sets on all-x server to learn basics and then move to primary/express and eventually maybe to team/alliance.

a variation of this would be to have the start and end of the set be all-x, while for a short period of time(say a week) in the middle, attacking is allowed.

Would have the feel of all-x for most of the set, with the variation of grabbing. a thought anyways

Ive also thought what a server with a max attacks per day would look like. It would encourage topfeeding for sure and an alliance wouldn't be much protection as it might be better to stick in DR for the set as untagged and grab major alliances.

/Still thinks the entire idea of an express server just SCREAMS massive 'coalition' war. Just enable clans, set protection to last until the last 24 hours and have a good old fashioned simultaneous fluff-kicking.

The winners would likely just be the ones with the most free time/amphetamines but that's pretty much how it goes anyway and only having to be available for one day is a lot easier than a two week war that everyone can predict the outcome of after three days.

alliance whose members have more freetime than others or is bigger than any1 else.
