OberstKrieger Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 If anything, it relieves tensions in Standard Edition. Imagine the drive for war as a drive for sex, or a libido. Because the rulers get out their frustrations in Tournament Edition, their libido, if you will, in Standard Edition is lessened. Therefore, Tournament Edition actually reduces the occurance of wars in Standard Edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldConqueror Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 No. TE is a completely different place than SE. In some ways, this is a good thing. In others, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEraser Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 it shouldn't. people in TE are 100% different than here. i play TE with a people that i wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole in SE (hai TSO ) but in TE i could care less that they're in TSO or TOP or wherever. I do know some people like Arsenal like to blur the lines, but thats more or less the exception to the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The only thing TE does to SE is add flags, which doesn't really do much except have certain alliances pay people who won for their flag, and also people who pay too much attention not like TFD much. (Seriously? Your war flag? Your war flag. At least do an ally or something come on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that may be just because we're a peaceful alliance...on SE. Plus, need to get some basic war experience somewhere. Other than that, I don't think so - at least not for most people.

Haflinger Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The SOS Brigade owes its existence to TE. Other than that, not too much. Probably TE slows down the SE game a bit, by allowing the MUST WAR NOW people a place to vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doitzel Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Everyone says it doesn't affect SE, yet every time someone proposes something crazy on this very forum (usually the sort of thing that used to happen here spur-of-the-moment) the chorus chimes, "That's what TE is for". I think it contributes somewhat to the aversion to political and military risk that's developed here, and its advent and implementation at least draws some focus away from the necessity of serious pacing tweaks that need to occur in SE.

Only thing ive seen is some of SE's louder and less pleasant posters are quick to get dogpiled in TE.

Therefore, Tournament Edition actually reduces the occurance of wars in Standard Edition. that's what I agree on TE (though I'd word it differently ) not to mention it's also a good alternative for settling the "tech raid" urge (for some people) Everyone says it doesn't affect SE, yet every time someone proposes something crazy on this very forum (usually the sort of thing that used to happen here spur-of-the-moment) the chorus chimes, "That's what TE is for".

Branimir Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) In CN:TE there is nothing in stake really, so its free for all. I lost interest after the first one, didn't see a point in playing again,... was in top ten son In CN:SE people invested much more, so the stakes are higher which is one of the reasons why the game flow is different and far more rigid here. True, one can say what doitzel did, but we all know that phrase is more of a weak cop out then anything really. While maybe CN:TE takes something from CN:SE, its not a major reason why game flow here is what it is. So, IMO, the effect is minor at best. Agreeing on the tweaking more of this version, rather then focusing on the TE version. Edited December 12, 2009 by Branimir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Janova Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I agree with the people that said TE gets the 'war itch' sorted out, so it reduces the level of dumb wars and 'lulz' in SE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand I Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 TE doesn't have any effect on SE politics, perhaps some personal feuds can transfer either way for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
