honestly, i kinda agree with all 3 of you on it being all about farming bots as efficiently as possible now but i don't feel that GDI is the problem. its the turns. being able to store 360/360 is the problem.

the turns changed everything. gave suciders the extra 'oomph' needed to do irreversible damage and normal players with no way of defending.

GDI actually helps the game by stopping suicides unless you double tap. without this, and if you can just declare war, then you are basically dead man walking. any suicider can just declare war on you and poof, there goes your set. these morons will usually suicide just about anyone who is better than themselves because they are probably jealous (i'm guessing) that they can't finish well and too stupid to learn or try to improve.

or, a suicider can be 'helping a friend' by suiciding another top player so that his 'friend' can finish tops. that's what i felt happened like crazy back then before this new GDI and bots came to play.

also, yes. my current play style is specifically design for bots as i try to "Don't complain. Assess & adjust." (Originally posted by LATC) but i still can't think of a way to adjust to the +50% PS strength even without allies which i feel is really broken. :D

the only way so far to counter these morons who abuse the +50% PS strength just to go on a topfeeding frenzy and ruin another player's set is to TRY stay relatively thin till i can jump to 15m turrets. and that's still not enough sometimes. there is no way to really defend. the only defence is their stupidity but its also that stupidity that leads them to try and ruin another player's set for no real reason.

Sometimes I can't believe the stupidity of people. Are you really asking on the official game forums how to glitch the game to get a head and win? Read the rules of the game. Pretty sure this should be a ban-able post.

Bugs and exploits
Earth empires is undergoing aggressive development. The developers try their best to prevent bugs and exploits but occasionally one may slip through. Our players are expected to immediately report any bugs or exploits they find. Deliberately exploiting bugs for player gain will result in country deletion.

"when the allies got removed from this server there was no adjustments made to the PS formulas (I don't think)" ... Is there a thread or topic on this. I could be over sending?
