Generalissimo Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 -Arbitrary Empire Size Limits- Can there be such a thing as too much territory? How expansive should a CNRP country become? Can a nation have too many protectorates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanis777 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Nope. If you can hold it IC-wise and no one opposes, you can hold it. The balance is achived if people decide to limit said empire(s) through RP work as opposition either through military and/or diplomatic means.

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 You can have as much as you can take. If you only RP one or two cities in an empire that stretches halfway across the continent *cough* *cough* *Canada*, then it's certainly a dick move, but it's not against the rules.

[/quote] Nobody cares to RP above the lower provinces of Canada anyhow. Maybe a dick move, but some areas of the map, people just don't care to RP in, hence large nation.

Fizzydog Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Of course, if you're capturing all of Asia and Europe you're being a tad bit greedy, but honestly no one has ever done that and owners of all large empires seem open to giving small amounts of land to empty handed players, so I see no problem. No one has abused it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian the Mighty Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I will not allow my empire to be constrained. I will react violently with repressions and pogroms against anyone who tries to limit how far I could possibly expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triyun Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 There are plenty of places for new players to start. I'd rather see bigger players out there creating story content and controversy for people to react to. Big empires so long as they are dynamic are the best things in the game because they create story lines that draw others in. If everyone is a bunch of neutral hippies with small to mid size nations, we're playing a really boring text based sim city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
