Even though CNTE is supposed to be the agressive version of CN, I find that there are still too many people who care too much about their 'precious infrastructure' and instead of going wild with war they merely sit there saving and complaining when they get attacked. Because of this I feel that CNTE is still fairly tame. Sure there are a lot more alliance vs. alliance wars and a lot more agression in general, but I still feel like things could be much more interesting.

My suggestion is that each round of the tournament have a specific theme. This could include anything such as:

- No requirements what-so-ever for nukes other than the 100k to buy them (or even cheaper?).
- No alliances allowed, forcing everyone to be in "none". This would mean no organised protection and more chaos.
- Different amounts of cash for nations to start with, or even randomised amounts for each nation.
- Being allowed to decom tanks and soldiers at any time. Lols would be had.
- Reducing the cost of soldiers and tanks to zero
- Raising the cap for all losses and spoils of war
- Allowing every nation to choose one wonder for free in their first day of the round.
- Allow nations to purchase an improvement every 100 people instead of every 1000 people.
- No limit on how many offensive and/or defensive wars you can have at one time
- Only allowing someone to have one nation per round. People would be less agressive, but I'd have a lot of fun knocking people out

If each round were to have one or even two of these themes implemented, then things would be more interesting and more enjoyable in my opinion.

This sounds so fun

Well I like this bit...

Hmmmm... Heh.

-Mongol Hordes. 100 or so nations with aggressive ai pop up and attack everybody

other than the bold, I think this idea rocks...

i disagree about the alliance thing... his idea makes it better.

My responses are in bold

It would appear that many of you arent thinking about these ideas enough.



If this were to happen, there would be hundreds of nukes flying around by day 3. The best part about this idea is that it would make it very difficult just to get to the #1 spot. People could no longer just collect taxes and never fight in a war to be one of the top nations.



Yes, people could stil communicate through forums, but no one would be able to hide behind an alliance to avoid war. Normally, most people would avoid attacking a nation in a large alliance, but with this idea, nations would actuallybe given the freedom to attack whoever they want withouot the fear that a whole alliance will jump on them. It would be near impossible for an alliance to defend all its nations if people wern't scared of attacking each other.



Firstly, IT WOULD ONLY BE FOR 1 ROUND. I'm sure if someone is annoyed that they can't start an alliance that they will get over it. The only people who would be annoyed are the people who don't like not being able to avoid war and just pile on infra, in which case they deserve it because getting owned and owning others is what CN TE is about.



Actually, I was thinking along the lines of 500k - 2MIL. 1MIL - 1.5MIL could have an 80% chance, while 500k - 1MIL and 1.5MIL - 2MIL could each have a 10% chance.





Both are also good ideas, but would be better if they were doubled up with another theme.



I'm not suggesting this one because I think it's not already good as it is, but because it would be fun to be able to destroy more infra and gain more spoils for a round.





Ok well after thinking about this one I decided it may not have been a great idea. BUT it could be with a few adjustments.
- No limit to how many offencive wars you can have at one time AND no limit to how many deployments you can make in a day (or maybe make it 3 deployments in a day)



I reckon this is actually a good idea. And yes, the whole point is that you wouldn't be able to restart after getting completly destroyed! A lot of people just re-roll if their nation falls below 300 infra, due to the fact that you can easily get it back. This idea would make it interesting knocking people out of the game.

Personally, I don't have much of a problem with these. They are only for 1 round, and seeing what would happen with 1 or 2 of these implemented during a round would be

- No requirements what-so-ever for nukes other than the 100k to buy them (or even cheaper?).
Maybe
- No alliances allowed, forcing everyone to be in "none". This would mean no organised protection and more chaos.
No way. How does one tell which alliance is winning a war if there's no way to analyze their numbers and strength?
- Different amounts of cash for nations to start with, or even randomised amounts for each nation.
Super dumb idea. Why should some start out with an advantage? Besides being unfair, loser would always say, "they must've started out w/more cash than me"
- Being allowed to decom tanks and soldiers at any time. Lols would be had.
Maybe 1 day delay instead of 2
- Reducing the cost of soldiers and tanks to zero
Umm, no.
- Raising the cap for all losses and spoils of war
Maybe
- Allowing every nation to choose one wonder for free in their first day of the round.
That actually sounds like an awesome idea. Kinda a noob trap though, LOL!
- Allow nations to purchase an improvement every 100 people instead of every 1000 people.
a bit too much, maybe every 500 people.
- No limit on how many offensive and/or defensive wars you can have at one time
No limit? How would you like to fight 100 multis? 3 and 3 is good for me
- Only allowing someone to have one nation per round. People would be less agressive, but I'd have a lot of fun knocking people out tongue.gif
It's definitely a problem that the second ur nation goes below 1000 NS or so you can just delete and start over. Maybe a one week delay to restart would be less draconian than a full-round ban.

i think structure is something that keeps CN fun though. some of the ideas are good, but with a few of them, it would turn the game into a huge warzone that people would probably get frustrated with.
