Games fine, the population is the issue.
The only answer is bots. Let's face it, the main thing to change from days of 3k+ countries to today was removal of multies and bots. I am convinced we have only lost a few hundred actual players from that time.
So obvious answer return the countries, but in a controlled and intelligent manner. Make them try to retal and set the priority to retal higher when a country grabs them from a member of the admin teams alliance. So a PDM, Evo, or Martian member hits them 2 times its worth 4 hits to ensure no one can question the impartiality of the bots. Then give them some AI that determines when they will retal.
I would even like to see suiciders... LaF comes through and drops a couple of dozen hits on a bot counry then diffuses missiles, bot has no chance to retal it suicides the tag. As an example.
To me this would add the element of surprise to keep grabbing interesting and not let the game turn into farmville.
P.S. Skythe your idea is so terrible and poorly thought out that you should be erased from existence. You basically looked for an issue and then thought up the worst possible solution for it? Are you in banking, financial industry, wall street, or somehow a part of US congressional proceedings or plannings?
Seriously to come up with such a stupid idea with out hours of research into what is the exact opposite of the right solution, would make you the world's stupidest and most dangerous person.
If you were trolling grats 10/10 else please recluse yourself from humanity this instant and never make any decision on any matter for yourself again. Flip a coin, throw darts at a premade board of ideas, or ask random strangers just please never think again. Thank you.
