new rules for humas during last 30 turns, you can attack only target appr. half/twice your size.

galleri: fluff off marshal

archaic: FFS when Marshal has stood out as maybe the brightest person on the whole thread . . . fluff me, I'm going to go smoke a joint and reevaluate some fluff

sinistril: Oh snap, Marshal destroyed galleri. Thought I'd

formula is weird and it depends turns left, if 30 turns left on set then its ~half/twice but if only 10 then it drops alot.

(turns/31.7)^2+1.05

by google calc (30/31.7)^2+1.05 = 1.94562041616 and with 10 turns its 1.14951337957

If by that you mean qz instituted a well publicized and sought after change regarding end of set behavior 2 sets after your little stunt? Yep, correlation and causation are the same thing in Rockman's world.

same here, i had 39 turns to burn ~1.5 hrs before set ended but all war-targets were out of range w/o dropping nw alot (to ~1/6th, impossible due i had alot techs) or getting nw much higher (would have needed to double my nw).

now wars end half a day before set ends due most can't hit targets after that.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

LadyGrizz boobies is fine

NOW3P: Morwen is a much harsher mistress than boredom....

Actually it was more because of what happened to that LaF/Omega/Monsters/whatever country a bit ago; we'd been discussing doing something along those lines for 6 months before your stunt

Finally did the signature thing.

Good change. Just about all wars are decided at this point anyway. Only griefers will miss this "oppotunity"...

sure wars are decided but some would want to increase their hitstats.
