[/quote] No change to tech rebuying? $500K also seems like too much. It makes raiding even more profitable than it currently is and will make more people want to do it. As such, no nations will be turned off even more after getting raided to nothing at a higher rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The more I think about it, the more I don't mind it. It really shouldn't be a factor early in the round with people that have jumped.. they'll probably only be carrying enough to steal $100-$200K max, which isn't terrible. And, then later in the round, it becomes a factor, which isn't a bad thing since nations should be bigger and the stakes higher. I like the changes. Nicely done, Admin.

dy Cazaril Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I like it. The increase in loot gives war another economic aspect, since it now has the potential to actually be profitable (instead of a giant money sink), and it will discourage people from turtling. Should make things more interesting for flag runners, as they will now have an incentive to fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
