Feedback would be appreciated! Holy cow @ high NW's and congrats! over $1B for the T10 is nuts lol...

Note on bots: I will continue to work on the bots as I have time come available, life has been a little busy, but I've got some ideas to change behaviours for sure :-)

Did anything change for this set? I don't see anything in the annoucements forum unless I am blind. (sometimes it seems that way)

I don't think there is much to really complain about, though I make it harder to get more land after an "exccessive" land total is which I would define as 250k acres but could easily configured based on input.

Enjoyed having the bots on, made for some interesting play style changes. Will be interesting when/if you can get them to attack lol. Should make for a fun set when that happens!!! Maybe try to up their military to make it a bit more difficult for us to just farm the hell out of them?

removed the ghost acre cap for the set just completed I believe.

Maybe just have a sliding percentage scale for ghost acre returns once a country gets above a certain level. ie. <250k acres, 100% ghost acre returns via existing formula; 400k acres, 75%; 600k acres, 50%, >750k acres 25%. Can be a more continuous scale than that, and #s were just off the top of my head.

Unless, no one has problems with countries over 500k acres. If that is the case, then no need.

I do like the idea of a sliding scale to make it more difficult to get ridiculously huge

I'd probably put a bracket starting at 100k though (maybe 80%), then 250k, then 400-500k maybe at 50%. And then that's it. If you want to keep getting fatter on 50% of the expected ghost acres, then go for it.

They could be harsher too, if you wanted, but I think 100k is where the gains should start decreasing. I think that'd be a much better way to deal with all of this than anything else. And that would be an easy thing to tweak the amounts per server if you wanted, rather than having completely different rule sets for each server.

If you sincerely believe that the game admins are lying to you then you should obviously quit the game.
