Welcome back KeTcHuP

Not really UI related, but on the topic of war, I'd like to see the attacks allowed per second lowered. Last I checked, around 5/second was possible with about 10 requests sent per second. Not sure if 5/second is a hard limit or the server was too overloaded to handle 10 in one second.

I'd like to see this number reduced to 1 attack every 1-3 seconds. At least on FFA servers.

You can already see your networth, food, money, and turns in the top status bar. Why display the same information twice?

Attacker
10 acres
200 spies
20 spal

Defender
100 acres
1000 spies
10 spal

Attacker should lose here since 200 spies would be only 2 spal?

Needs to be a bonus, imo.
For example, say an arbitrary fixed 50%, instead it would be 4 spal. This would require 500 spies to reach 10 spal on defender and break.

Public market info text should be a drop-down tooltip, you shouldn't have to scroll down to be able to sell on mobile just for some filler text. In general, most of the info text is filler and can be replaced with drop-down tooltips that instead provide information more helpful to new players.

First thoughts, this is a big step in the right direction.


There is no topic for main page discussion.

Main Page
Remove networth, food, money, and turns from the main page. Now that the UI is being updated it's time to remove redundant info.

So it requires recursion?

Even so, it doesn't need to be fully computed from the beginning every 3-5 minutes. Previous scratch can be cached and each update would only build upon the cache. Difficult to discuss in words, but I don't see it as unrealistic. That being said I am not familiar with the actual hardware limits here at EE.

We've only ever received one serious person who wanted to buy EE and the offer was not in the ballpark of what we would have considered selling for.

I'll do some threads about it when we get closer to launching it, but I'm curious what sort of price folks would be willing to pay for a Premium EE experience -- stuff like being ad-free, getting your bonus points automatically, maybe a custom avatar or something. [/quote]

Send me a price via PM you'd consider selling for.

Would be odd to spend turns to attain DR info when it can be calculated for 0 turns just by doing some math. What is the actual DR formula used that is so computationally expensive? I have a very close approximation that takes barely any resources.

Really? It seems like nearly everyone still playing this game has been playing for over a decade. Are there really that many new players? We really don't need to imagine the effects, since we have all (unless you are new) have seen the effects of both with and without.

The original suggestion itself is useful in regard to the actual comments, but not general community sentiment. Many people vote, much fewer will actually comment.

Maybe something that starts on one server only.

I'm still thinking about the wording and how it would work, but there will be a poll for it.

Sell price of missiles? Needs to be low enough that this isn't a semi-viable netting strategy or it would be overpowered...

yes

Imagine being so upset over a ruined Express set that you spam FFA forum with express server drama...

Sorry I ruined your top 5 finish JAYR by double tapping lol

I deleted it for your benefit. If you want everyone to see the nasty PMs you sent me I have no problem with it. Like I said I'm not a suicider, please stop trying to spread misinformation.

Thanks for the invites (both to NBK and PMs), I've found a FFA clan.

Edit: Found a clan, thanks

Thanks

Got invited back to the clan in Aug 2016. Website isn't working, and I know it's a bit late (ok, almost 3 years lol), but was hoping to find a contact?

Thanks

pm if interested

Thanks mate. Going to try for a top 10 this set. I'll actually start at the start of the set this time so we'll see what happens

Looking for tech/defense allies. PM me

Can also just hit the Esc key before the page finishes loading.

First, you should get your BPT up to 20 by building construction sites. After that, you should choose a government that helps your strategy, which you have chosen to be casher.

I'd recommend Republic (For the 20% PCI and explore bonus), but you can also choose Theocracy (for the faster construction, cheaper military, and 50% population bonus).

Once your BPT is 20, you should alternate building more construction sites and equal amounts of enterprise & residential zones. Don't worry about any other types of buildings, the enterprise zones and residential will be much more beneficial. You should try to get your BPT up to around 50 - 60, depending on how much land you plan to get.

Once you've reached 50 - 60 BPT, you can continue to explore and evenly build enterprise and residential zones, but try to buy residential and business tech when you can, as this will increase your income. (Maximum is 180% unless you choose Theocracy, in which case it is 152%; Try to get close to the maximum)

Keep in mind that you will have negative food income, be sure to buy food as needed. Resist building farms, it will be much more efficient to purchase it from the public market.

Be sure to look into batch exploring & stocking/destocking

BPT is a bit low, should be about 50% higher.

You don't really need the residences, you'd be much better off with industrial complexes. The oil rigs are somewhat important on this server as oil is both scarce and expensive, but keep an eye on the prices (~$220+ is high).

Your industrial tech is a bit low, you should try to get as close to the maximum as possible, which is 160%. You can setup a market order or try to buy it when the prices are low (~$2200).

Yeah, you are right, guess this isn't the old FFA days when 50 - 100m networth was a top 10 finish and 300m bushels were a lot instead of just a day or two of stocking.

You have more than 1,410,065,408 bushels?

Now allows 99,999,999,999,999,991,611,392 bushels. Pretty sure nobody has that many.

Well I put market commissions, could just choose Demo government to disable that and use it like private market.

I want to integrate something that helps out with private market destocking but I'm doing a bit of work on the site first.

Understood, I will write a program to calculate it for you now.

Schafer? Or was that a separate person?

Food NW = food/1000

Is the server loading slow for anyone else? I'm getting load times as long as 3 - 5+ seconds.
