The reasoning behind the 1000 action limit?

I just don't get it. If I am not mistaken, it's normally 1500 but the limit is lowered to 1000 during war. Why? It's not like people use up all their actions at the update, it's often spread throughout the day and the server is handling things just fine except for the first 15 minutes after the update. I don't think the reduced action limit has any effect other than impairing gameplay. I understand there needs to be an action limit to prevent cheating in certain ways, but I don't see why it should be this low. If you're fighting wars on multiple fronts, those clicks will be used up quickly. I'm at over 600 without even performing a single attack yet, and I have to be careful every day or I'll be locked out.

It seems to me like it would make more sense to be limited to 1000 military-related page clicks per day instead of counting every single click.

Well, in the context of how you're using your actions though, all clicks can be considered military related. I think it's been 1000 actions a day for a while now. I seem to recall reading somewhere that after the BLEU-Continuum War last summer it was never returned to 1500 actions a day as was the previous practice and the 1000 actions represents the standard regardless of the war/peace status. Gridlock at and around update has had times far worst than you suggest by using "15 minutes after update". At it's peak it was starting to occur 30 minutes before update and extended 45 minutes or more after update. I recall one night not being able to log in until 50 minutes after update. While it may be true that no one is using all their actions at update; many will use a fair piece of it hitting refresh. The higher the number of actions available, the greater the problem since they can use even more at update without affecting the actions they think they need the rest of the day.

I happen to like the 1000 action limit. It's a resource that needs to be managed same as soldiers, tanks, missiles, planes and ships and who you attack, when and what order, etc. Those who are more skillful at using that resource benefit over those that aren't.

Now if we we repeat that for like 6 nations attack and defense wars that's like 210 clicks. Now if we double that and add some accidental double clicks we are at 450 clicks. Then if we trade a heck of a lot of messages, sending and receiving etc we're up to 500 which is still half of the war time allowance, so I see no issue with it.

I've never hit the limit and I've done recruiting for my alliance, checking alliance stats, trade hunting etc

The key to defense when 3-6 nations are all hitting you at the same time at the update. ;) If I wasn't so active around the update I would've lost at least 50% more infra. Gotta replenish your forces after the nuke or you're gonna lose 1000+ infra in one day. I've managed to stick to losing 500 a day despite fighting 4 nations, 3 with a WRC and more tech than me. One of them nuked for 380.

This seems more like a suggestion than a question to me...as to the limit, I've never even approached it, but I understand that there are people that do as well. If enough people want 1500, I wouldn't oppose it. But really, I don't need it either. *shrug*
