Due to player reaction, attack throttling has been disabled and will not go in as a change for next set.

We've identified a few alternate technical solutions to the server lag issues that won't be as intrusive as this apparently was ;)
Finally did the signature thing.

I, personally, liked the throttling. It'll be sad to see it go.

i'm ok with the attack again button going to slow things up ... but i don't think the number of hits should be modified like it was...

Don't get funky. Don't count any attack made within 0.5 seconds of another attack.

When a country dies, give it 20% of all it's previous non military resources (cash, bushels, tech, oil) and make sure bonuses are carried over.

These changes cannot be that hard.
signatures are stupid.

I really like the ideas that led to the throttling implementation. Comprehensive changes such as giving restarts some percentage of goods remaining in their country is one great idea and throttling server side is another. No one like losing a country they spent a month building with nothing to show for it. I hope you guys push forward on this general issue and make changes that diminish player discontent.

Fundamentally, these changes need to be simple and straight forward. Making players wait and giving them additional responsibility was the obvious negative of the throttling implementation. Dagga's suggestions have a lot of merit.

These suggestions cannot be that hard to do politely.

You know something is a good idea when you see that. What are the odds we'll see that phrase in the near future? :)
