Emperor Nigel Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Meh... I imagine it just like the planes, everyone is maxed out with the top level aircraft just waiting for war. So.... who wants to start the GW first? We need to test out a new and improved war system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gebiv Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 You're welcome to attack me and see where things go I'll get my popcorn and prepare to watch the limited footage of the Tahoe war machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch33kY Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) If anyone wants to test their navy I offer my nation (45k NS). This is purely on condition that you PM me first and we agree on some kind of recompensation. I got a Cruiser, a Frigate, a Destroyer, a Submarine, and an Aircraft Carrier.

Mordd Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 2 AC's + 3 Destroyers Planes are nice, but so are blockade buster ships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 So... now that so many people have 105 planes... who's gonna be the first person to lose 100 planes in one shot? Man, that'll be a kick in nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjolnir Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Too bad 105 is such an odd number. I would have settled for a nice and even 100 (please don't take away my 5 planes, admin) or 110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicFriend Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 you could buy a 6th aircraft carrier on day 2 and get 110 aircrafts I'm pretty sure the aircraft bonus only applies to the first 5 carriers. Ah well, 105 will have to suffice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzptm Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Given the humongous cost of this system, I'm waiting a day to see how testing goes--I'm not wholly convinced the upkeep cost is worth the benefit, even with the NS and aircraft boost. A hypothetical, then... :: otherwise equal nation goes to war with Kiss Goodbye :: :: otherwise equal nation blockades Kiss Goodbye :: In that hypothetical, assuming other things being equal, your nation would be at a disadvantage on collections due to the blockade. In a 1v1 war, that could prove a harsh deal. In a 3v1 war, that could be crippling. True, it's too early to know everything about the system. But how does one wish to learn about the ill effects of not having a navy? The hard way is to experience them firsthand without a rapid ability to build up a navy big enough to take out the one that's already huge.

AdamX Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Man I wish it effected up to 6. You could send 100 aircraft in one attack(FAFB now lets you deploy 20 more) Guess I'll settle for 95 when I can carriers and get the FAFB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzptm Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Of course, whoever *loses* those five carriers will be crying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderland Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Maxing out a navy is pointless when it will be instantly annihilated in a defensive war by at least 9 attacks (18 for an update strike) a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta1212 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 admin really needs to toughen up ships a bit. As it is, all Navies do are allow the one attacking with superior numbers to dominate the sea and this gain a huge advantage everywhere else. Ships need to be difficult to destroy in order to both offset the 5 per day rule and, therefore, make the decision about whether to maintain a Navy or just not bother a more important one.

Ships need to be difficult to destroy in order to both offset the 5 per day rule and, therefore, make the decision about whether to maintain a Navy or just not bother a more important one. I agree. Navies as they are really give more power to attacking nations with 3:1 superiority... like they needed any more help... If a navy was built so one would NEED 3:1 superiority to wear it down, that would be great. Right now, the best strategy in the game is to isolate an alliance, pick a fight with it, and curbstomp it. If your alliance has more allies, it is in your interest to buy a navy. If your alliance is isolated, it is in your interest to get rid of all your military except 20% of your population in soldiers and a stack of cruise missiles and prepare to turtle up. What is really needed is something to make being a defensive nation possible. That way, smaller alliances could survive politically even if they took an editorial course that was critical of a larger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this as I actually brought it up right after admin made it so you can only buy 5 ships a day (before the Navy was even implanted).
