if you would play such a server, pls offer your encouragement

I'd play

I'll do it

this would be interesting.

I would suggest things like:

1. a tourney format where brackets are draw up.
2. 15 v 15 countries - means it. No alliances or any aid can be given or recieved.

3. make some sort of time limit, like 3 weeks. And then determine a winner based on different stats, net worths, hits, kills, etc.

multiple countries against each other?
i think that is a great idea, 15 might be too many but i like the concept

nice idea troy

BTW troy, a message is waiting for you on HC board

if it is truly to be a war server and not just two netters ignoring each other and then claiming to have won a battle you should look at a few rules:

DR has got to go
spy DR has got to go
limit on PS out
no limit on number of spy ops
increased yield on spy ops
no oil needed for military operations

none of the rules that hinder the military in what could be a great site
increased benefit from military techs


that way the two contestants will actually battle and not just try to out cash each other

i certainly would play any new server.

I do have a comment about this though (and Slagpit knows this). I tried organizing 1v1 wars in primary. There were only two people interested enough to message me about it (I was also interested but decided to make myself the odd one out). Sure, the primary forum isn't heavily traveled however there doesn't seem to be tons of interest for the idea.

137 views but only 9 posts.

I definitely agree about things like humanitarians and spy dr having to go, but even if we did create a server I'm not sure if we'd be able to get enough people there. Even if a large group of people were interested, some would want to play 1v1 and others would want to run multiple countries. Some would have time zone issues that would make a fair 1v1 fight difficult.

Then maybe add something to select our timezone in the options i dont know.

I dont war in primary or express cause those are the servers i wanna have good netting stats on. Any new war server i would dedicate to warring.

So far it is sad we dont have a fast paced war server. We had express but new gdi rules forced me to stop warring altogether. More players would play a server that is war oriented than you think, most of them will probably be netters.

A new server would show this game is growing.

suggested several months ago....

I'm not sure if the majority of folks would go for it or not, BUT one reason Detmer's efforts in primary may not have drawn mass attention (besides a lot of folks just not knowing about it, honestly) may be the fact that primary is a much broader server than a 1v1 fight, and folks didn't want to give up the current dynamic.

The draw to the server *may* be much greater if 1v1 is the sole intended dynamic.

I'm all for this idea....again!

side a vs side b 100 vs 100 would be awesome.

I'd say a random 100v100 is somewhat unfeasible since odds are very good you'll have groups on both sides who have no interest in playing together.

It would also essentially be another clan server, just with assigned clans instead of by player choice.

A one on one server would be awesome. I'd Love top lay on a server like that.

oh hell yes

5v5, have players fill out a short "When are you online" questionnaire and group them together randomly based on their answers.

You could also let players challenge other players via their profiles so they would be paired together at the start of the set.

as for the market just cut the public market altogether and have a private market for tech and military, selling prices equal to buying prices with tax included(except Demos of course).

This sounds like a great idea
