K4F you know my stance.
I think DRing ones country is cheap way of keeping your land. I dont do that. (well i did it for a few days in my 1 big country when it was starting to get big and couldnt afford defence) and i kinnda felt bad doing it.
I run good retallers. When grabs come they come. But i also udnerstand people put alot of effort into their countries and getting grabbed would be a big piss off. I dont put in enough effort to care! HAHA If someone wanted to grab him... without DR they would and theres nothing he can do about it. No way around it.
I also understand that some countriyes run 4-5k acres and grab 20k acre countries, sometimes all-x. The ammount of effor reqruired to do that is very little and its impossible to get anything back near the ammount grabbed.
TKOs stance is this:
Players in TKO can play their countries anyway they see fit, within the rules of Earth Empires, as long as it doesnt infringe on the gameplay for other players. IE: No farming people. No retalling retals. No suiciding. etc.
Why should swords dictate how we play? We play for fun. It might not be the same way swords does.
Swords misses a few key parts of earth empires.
1) Earth Empires is a STRATEGY based game more then a war game.
2) There are multiple ways to play. (Netgain, War, Wargain)
3) Diplomacy is one of the most fun aspects of this game.
4) Not everyone wants to restarts 500 times a set. Some want to play 5 minutes a day to keep in touch with those who they have gamed with for a long time. Why would anyone want to play earth ahead of a well developed game (WoW, xbox, psIII) if they want to play for 5 hours aday is beyond me. If you do thats your call. Thats not why i play. I play to keep in touch with those aroudn me.
If im reqruired to restart 500 times a reset, i wont play. If you only want warrers in FFA the palyerbase will be ALOT lower. How would your wars go with no netters to supply war techs for your restarts, no oil on market, etc?
Sure you can build oil rigs for your retsarts, but tech isnt that pheasible for restarts.
Im tired. Im sure this made next to no sense.
Point being: TKO FTW
