It's not something that we plan to do at this time.

Didn't this ability used to exist on the primary server decades ago?

This is pretty common in Primary and, again, discussed in several other threads over the years.


If someone attacks me with a missile - will I be able to retal with a gs? Or is that not breaking gdi?

The text about declaring war is misleading. There is no declare war function on Primary. By getting that message in the first place, it sounds like you are attempting to use attack methods other than SS or PS in order to retal, which you cannot do unless they break GDI on you. I'm not sure if your GDI page explains this completely, but it has been asked and explained many many times on the forums.

https://earthempires.com/forum/search

I actually DO have a declare war option that shows up after an initial attack against a target. That being said I have a follow up question. It says i can't use methods that would violate GDI unless they do - how do they do it then if the game won't let anyone unless it's done first by another person - who I'm assuming won't be able to because of the same reasoning. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

I keep trying to engage an enemy and the game blocks me with this message "GDI authority will not let you perform this operation without declaring war".
But the game does not allow me to declare war.

you want team play in primary? Join the other 3 servers that support it like Tertius said above.

leave primary alone it is one of two non basterdized servers left in the game. technically with GDI protection its a bit basterdized but its good.


I see what you're saying. You don't want it overrun with manipulators.

I don't think you been here long enough to realize how wrong you are.

I played waaay back when it was Earth 2025. anyways the developers can put things in place such as only one FA per round.


You're the only person supporting this change and it is a change that can propel someone to a win via FA, that's unacceptable in a solo server, that would be team play.

Because most primary players aren't reading this. Also I'm not so much proposing a new change- just go back to the old way. And if people don't want allies they need to do the tournament server. Good grief they should just reinstitute it with a rule of only one fa allowed per round and see what happens

I’m out of the loop having not played much the last year or so, and the forums don’t tell much of a story atm. Grapevine told me tho that Monsters is getting attacked by Mercs and co.

I find that extremely interesting because of the power vacuum effect described by William Golding. Typically when a tyrant loses power, it opens a vacuum in which another tyrant essentially perpetuates the same problems as their predecessors. For example, Iran has had dozens of revolutions led primarily by the people, but you can count on one hand the number of just leaders they’ve had in the last two millennia.

Even so, I just found myself curious why people would come after the old heads and gentlemen of the game. They’re typically the nicest diplomacy cats so I got curious and didn’t see anything on the forums so why not ask publicly? So what gives?

I’m sure it’s probably some LaF hunting going on, but figured I’d ask on behalf of some old friends and allies. Typically if diplomacy broke down with Monsters, you never tried diplomacy. It’s sort of the opposite argument than LaF being terrible at it. Typically they’re very good at it and solutions to problems are very very easy.

I’ll be the first to say bullying people without any attempts at diplomacy would more or less make you guys hypocrites in sermonizing tolerance while skimming for a ministry to pretzel. My feelings unabashed.


For sure there are some rude cats in this game.

I've read your formula and followed the link. I'm not sure I understand. Turrets= *0.6. it what times 0.6? The dollar amount they sell for on open market? The number of turrets I have times 0.6 and that number is the dollar amount? 🙂 Very interested in learning more and thank you for your initial response.

As some of you who hang out in discord might be aware, I've been trying to resurrect & finalize Pang's Clan GDI mechanic, partly to shake things up a bit, and partly as a result of some concerns about dwindling player time, which I get, personally having not a lot of time to commit.

So what does Clan GDI do?:

1) Clans in Clan GDI have a Y in the GDI column in the Clan list
2) Countries in Clans in Clan GDI:
- a) Cannot attack countries in clans that
-------- have not attacked them personally (all reset) OR
-------- have not attacked their clan recently (72 hours)
- b) Cannot attack countries in ANY CLAN without declaring war on that country
3) ALL COUNTRIES
- a) Cannot attack countries in Clans in Clan GDI that
-------- have not attacked them personally (all reset) OR
-------- have not attacked their clan recently (72 hours)
- b) Cannot attack countries in Clans in Clan GDI without declaring war on that country (if it's been more than 72 hours since last hit by that country)

Clans that JOIN Clan GDI *may not leave* for 10 days; and Clans that *LEAVE* Clan GDI may not rejoin for 10 days.

(NB: We originally were planning MMR requirements, but frankly that seems to have been the sticking point of all of this and why it was not finished 4 years ago, so for now, we will proceed without that.)

Note, spyops are not currently included in this mechanic. I will add that if it seems necessary in a coming reset.


I hope you all enjoy the new changes!

Best Regards,

- qzjul, Pang & the rest of the Dev Team

I have a suggestion. How about when you click or tap the "recall goods from the market" button you are prompted to confirm before it happens. I was riding shotgun in a car and checked to see if my bushels had sold. They were priced low enough to guarantee that they would sell. It said my goods would arive like 120 seconds. I was happy as I had plans for the money and had been waiting hours for this moment. Then the car hit a bump in the road causing my thumb to hit the recall button and destroying hours of planning in an instant - and costing me 3 turns to add insult to injury.

If you ever played the original Sid Meier's Colonization you know. And the same principles can be applied here to build a strong, formidable country. And while you're doing it the feeble - minded will look at a spy op of your country and declare you to be a rainbow - and by the end of the set you'll have three times their net worth and an impenetrable military force....and then when the next set begins the rainbow accusers will come out and it starts all over - and ends virtually the same. Yes there is a true rainbow strategy that people use. But the col-system is different.
