Display MoreConcept: troop limitation for all troop types.
What are the pros:
- Less gap between new and old players.
- Hoarding troops or avoiding troop losses becomes less attractive as it is only possible up to a limit. This means players have to build more compactly, many castles become more risky and it pays to play more actively both in war and against bandit camps or horrors.
- All possible legacies (acquisition of troops through bugs or other methods), which can go back more than a decade, are eliminated in one fell swoop.
- Activity will be more rewarding, bobs will be more important, recruiting into goldies will be more attractive, using the mage will be more attractive.
- The importance of working together in alliances is becoming more important, as it will be more about acting in a more strategically sensible manner than just throwing masses into the field.
- Of course, there will also be considerable differences in the number of troops in the future, but no longer to such an extent that statements such as: if you don't do this, then I'll do that or give me that, then I'll leave you alone, which really a lot was and is detrimental to the game.
- Anyone who finds themselves at war or wants to start one in the future is at some risk. There can no longer be a "nobody can do me, I'll flatten you now".
- Wars (yes .... sure, this is a war game and should remain so) will be waged more frequently, but will also come to an end more quickly and hopefully not be waged in the same way as in the past or as it is now.
What speaks against it:
Many would have to rethink their way of building, which mixture, which expansion, which neighborhood and part with some cherished old "certainties".
It would also have to be considered in terms of programming whether the defense values of various buildings have to be adjusted, e.g. Wall, but not only what is associated with effort.
The risk that some might try to increase the troop limit through Mult-Acc. bypassing is increasing, ie there is more effort on the part of the operator.
General:
I'm sure I forgot some pros and cons in my list, so I'm grateful when other players pick up the thread and continue or refine it.
Finally, I would like to point out that even if the troops were now set to 0 for everyone (I would have nothing against that) there would of course be considerable differences in troops after just one hour, ie those with many locks would still have an advantage, which is ok is.
What is not possible is to set a limit in such a way that a new player would need 3 years or more in order to be able to “get involved” at all ....... nobody does that anymore these days, there are far too many for that game alternatives.
Something personal at the end:
I'm almost used to the "Graf_Orlamünde bashing" and it gets a bit boring, if you absolutely need it and it doesn't break the forum rules of insults etc. then please do it in a different section, it's too important to me. Believe it or not (or just don't believe it yourself), I didn't come up with this idea/suggestion for improvement out of self-interest.
Greeting
