Who wants slayer to come back?

I like the big show of forces wars better than the assasin type wars, but slayer was cool.

Assassin wars are fun on high-turns games with no attack limit. Like WW2 Rerisen.

But on slow games like Reg, it isn't much fun except for those doing the kills.

I think that there's there's too many good players in the same clan and they puch don the noobs so they can't get good. Just a thought...

This is just an idea that I'm throwing off the top of my head, but it's as good a time to bring it up with the reset coming fairly soon.

My idea/suggestion is this: Why not completely eliminate the attack limit?

What are your thoughts on doing that?

Well.. it would eliminate the whole point of clans... or possibly increase they're strength. Either kill them, or make them huge. That's what I think it would do.

cp that would be the dumbest thing to ever do to this game

well maybe making kills more common in the game would make it more interesting, it would empower clans by making them able to take out indies and it would let indies go all out if they pleases, I say it may not be so bad an idea.

And why is that?

Garagas Ledavas · February 17, 2004, 03:33:28 PM

Then the game would be a killing spree. I see what Peace means, it wouldn't be cool. Come to WW2 Rerisen if you want no attack limit. It's pretty much a death match. I killed 3 people in 2 hours on there once.

Juby (Tercios) · February 17, 2004, 04:09:23 PM

what is this WWII rerisen thing anyhow?

Well first of all, clans have so little of an advantage in the first place, this would almost completely rule them out as an intelligent option. Plus, a maximum attack limit HAS to be in place, otherwise the game is out of control, and as fun as that sounds, NO game is good without control. it would just... ruin everything. Like taking the referee out of a hockey game... (oh but i'm sure you'd all WANT that, so maybe thats a bad example, lol)

Um... As far as I can see, this would either strengthen clans or keep them about the same. What it WOULD weaken would be the independants. Emps could be brought down much faster and it would make it more exciting (and harder). The Slayer strat would be pretty messed, as well as the emp-not-in-clan bit. With the benefits of clans (shared forces, war on lower/higher people, allies), it would probably cause more people to form clans, as going indy wouldn't be as good anymore.

So it would infact destroy going indie, not destroy clans.

You still of course should get troops deserting for attacking lower or higher people. That's a no-brainer.

windhound · February 17, 2004, 05:18:00 PM

nope. no attack limit would encourage a slayer concept.. everyone going out to kill anyone who peeves them, and should a big clan like loren appear, and another clan gets on loren's bad side, then that clan could be completely killed off within a day with proper planning (ie, they made sure everyone had full turns or so), so basically, you'd be restarting your horde every few days or so.. not nearly as much fun..

no good.. attack limits are very good..

Checkerpaw · February 17, 2004, 05:22:55 PM

Let's see . . I count six different responses. 2 negative, 2 positive, and 2 nuetral. There is not much agreement on what would happen if you eliminated the attack limit, much less whether it would be a good thing.

So why don't we give it at least some sort of trial test or game and see what happens? That's the only way to really find out.
