[ correction ]

There's a frontend bug.

@slagpit

np. i think what happens is ive experienced tricks along the way that i dont really see them as exploits but as rewards/perks for players who have played the game long enough to find them; but, in reality they are exploits and should be reported.

I think koh is referring to emails.

If you think about it., neither darkness nor light exist with the absence of either.

lol @ koh

@koh

I went to pm with slagpit describing issue and we used "Req's" comments as a way to reproduce it.

Hey peeps,

He has the most appropriate handle name. "Blackhole". Literally nothing escapes a blackhole once your surpass the event horizon. I'm not a huge fan of him but every story has a villain. Let him be one.

I personally believe it adds a fun part to the game. Hell DarkDemon is one of my top 3 ppl in this game & I joined the Light to be their villain. It just makes the game fun; but, one part which isn't cool is to announce players RL names/locations ect. It doesn't matter if it's logical or not. So let's avoid doing that. I am guilty of doing it 5 years ago to player on these forums (archane). I'm no saint; but, wrong is wrong (and I was wrong).

Let's always ensure we keep the line between fantasy and reality separate.

At the end of the day,. it made some interesting sets on TEAMs.

It was fun to be a part of it.

And Bluecow is correct,. this is a work around to seeing admin deleted texts. I assume the admins have the authority to do a soft delete whereas the queries pulling the posts for a user doesn't have this portion in the WHERE clause.

From a player's perspective it's quite easy to get caught up in the psychology of events. Trust me, been there done that; but, I'm also a programmer & I can tell you the time invested to fix this game is 100% a sacrifice. Unless everyone was paying a monthly subscription, the programmers really don't owe us anything.

I have 100s of posts critiquing the mods of what should be better or what isn't fair or sucks or who is good; but, we all need to remember he's working on this site on his FREE time.

This site has two important elements that keeps it interesting: the drama and the game itself. What we complain about actually contributes to making the game interesting.

Villains back in the day, on TEAM, would take you out for any ops or LG

@Slagpit

Makes sense.

Is the proposal here to make another news (beyond) war news and include a spy news?

I would assume the attacking clan would just unmask the country who got op’s (if there was denial) (& that’s assuming you happened to attack a country whose profile is private)

lol @ prime

Admittedly I haven’t played on alliance in awhile., but there’s definitely spy ops news in game on other servers. On TEAM the admin is notified as well as the person who it failed on. I would assume the same would occur on ALLIANCE.

The ops is also available after the game. (Example):
https://earthempires.com/...158/news?types=60,61&

Depends on server

Most clans kill your country if you perform negative spy ops on one of their members. Negative op is anything non intel (is my assumption)

As for faking it., it’s not possible. Not really sure why you asked that.

Faked?

Do you know something we don’t Slag?

Usually 24-48 hrs after reset ends has been my experience.

I haven’t played net in awhile. Seems to be a major shortage of oil this set so my casher strat a complete flop. Basically tried to finish without using oil at all.

The coolest 3 ppl on EE hands down:
dd, req & koh.

If you don’t know them you’re missing out on the best parts of this game.

Yeah,. it's dumb.

@LaF
Fix your site! :D

@a-rod
You can't. That's my point.

Only way you can mitigate it is by:
1. reducing turns on hand (means fewer attacks)
2. increasing the number of bots <--- yes
3. make bots attack back (which would lower their dr by 1 each time they atkd) <--- yes
4. remove bots all together.
5. disguise bots (remove highlighting & poor naming function) <--- yes

my only issue with removing bots all together is you'd have like 20 total players & the market would be worse than TEAMs.

This is why it wouldnt matter if you lowered returns.
#6 current land is 2.2k land. He's spending 2 turns for 17-51acres (when the explore button would give same/better results from 1 turn). Makes 0 sense; but, proves my point that lowering returns will NOT deter a player from LG'ing bots.

lol @ galleri

Great job for the creativity & a starting point.

I don't think people will fully understand the amount of work involved to do what is outlined above. So keep that in mind.

This thread prob should get locked. Nothing good to become of it.

Which server are you referring to?

Calib at -5000 now lol.

To Superfly credit he has played more sets than 99% of the players here and only has only one.

The point here is none of us here are fckn’ perfect. Let’s move on.

It makes no sense of the number of threads you’ve created to attack someone of a behavior in which you yourself have done.

Nobody is blameless nor perfect.

I could care less if someone calls me a cheater. Really. It’s like a 5 year old calling me stupid.

I think Bony has the right idea but instead would recommend adding a live population field that exists on all pages where a player could see their population in real time. This hands down would be an awesome feature.

A+ added feature

I’m not playing on Alliance so I didn’t kill anyone.

I’m not justifying what he did., but using derogatory language to the point that warrants deletion is not much better than a person trying to create a coalition of players to go up against Darkness by inflating numbers.

At the end of the day the competition he created made the team server more interesting.

Purple is still purple.

Those comparisons you gave are radically different.

It's market intel. Seems reasonable to be part of market spy op.

Here's the thing. If you saw a country with 50 missiles, you know that country is likely going to attack someone.

Similarly if I saw someone had a SO for warfare tech at 5k it could indicate the direction of a country.

Also,. there are tricks of transfering wealth from one country to another not using FA. ie( buyout medical tech then sell your tech for $9999 and have the people with money buy it.) By seeing the SOs you could then sell your tech at 8k and undercut their sale.

lol @ this post

What I find interesting is that every person screaming about Milk's cheating has purple in their history too.

Hell even I do. Granted mine were due to attacking two different clans in one set which was against rules during Tela's reign.
