No Leaders round

Peace Alliance · April 12, 2004, 08:00:23 PM

A no leaders round means that huts will be taken out of the game entirely.

I think this would be VERY fun for one season. It would be a game without the massing stratagys that have been adopted so well in the game, and a chance for us all to prove who is truely the greatest WARlord.

I vote "I would"

*clicks the first choice*

Bring it :D

i support it

but maybe could try just less available spells or making leaders a lot less effective would be good enough
maybe even something like only leader fight

windhound · April 12, 2004, 08:13:52 PM

nah.. no leaders atall..
that would be really interrestin..

if the ladder system is put into place again, methinks that you should beable to send aid to any location.. either that or no clans..

oh, and make food worth more :lol: 'cause it'd be harder to mass.. *invisions horde where all buildings are set to the task of makin food*

another idea is that you choise when you want to come out of protection.. a little button in army status or somthin 'move my horde outa protection' it'd be neat methinks.. rather than turn usage decinding when you're out..

*Shrugs*

can't just stay in protection all game, that wouldn't be fair.

windhound · April 12, 2004, 08:22:13 PM

:lol: yeah it would! the perfect HPR strat! hehe

Peace Alliance · April 12, 2004, 08:23:02 PM

even though i doubt you could really win that way... you still might be able to get top 10 :\

Juby (Tercios) · April 12, 2004, 08:29:50 PM

hmmmm, me and nick were talking about this a couple days ago, I think it would be a really good idea but we should engineer into it a few formerly leader concepts, like each race should have an ability or somehting like that, maybe it should be a mission that costs money, and some offensive spells maybe could be engineered into it similarily?

windhound · April 12, 2004, 08:39:43 PM

meh. I say we keep it simple atleast at first.. shouldnt be that hard to cut off huts..
all the extra stuff would take a bit of time playin with the code which Retto would have to do in all his free time... hehe..

*knows he could make top ten easily with full out HPR strat*

IFman · April 12, 2004, 09:09:59 PM

I know HPR strats are good, I did one last round on turbo and I was 5th-3rd until someone poisoned me.

yes, no leaders, but make it available to steal food and money by attacking (ask beetles if you don't know how)

windhound · April 12, 2004, 09:18:56 PM

*eyes widen in horror*
NO.
FaF was horrible for that reason.. you couldnt keep your resources.. I mean, geez, I stole ~3-4 bil food from Josh without much effort atall and lost it all with even less effort.. terrible.. I then gathered it back up just for the heck of it and sent him back about 2.5 bil
heh heh

Garagas Ledavas · April 12, 2004, 09:23:22 PM

Yes I hate that feature of FaF. Now I think my account is dead from inactivity........

Peace Alliance · April 12, 2004, 09:24:16 PM

No, i think they have to be taken out all together. If you make it so leader can do one thing, it would be really anoying to have to make leaders just for that one thing. Leaders cost money and food...it would really be annoying.

IFman · April 12, 2004, 09:24:52 PM

so you'd like HPRers ruling the top 10?
this way seems fair

thraka · April 12, 2004, 09:43:24 PM

I have no idea what an HPR strat is but it seems weak and boring, kinda like hording. I would love to be able to just do mass attacks and gain my networth through troops instead of food.

Though if you take do that though then maybe the amount of land we start out with and can get from scouting should be turned up a bit then. Considering its really going to be a grab for land to do money, food and barracks for troops then. Woudl be an interesting strat though and worth trying out for sure.
