eliminate races. Give players 100% to customise their army
At the start of the age, players get a allocate from a bank of 100% bonus to SA, DA, Spy, Sentry and gold production. This will allow players to make a unique race of there own. Eg. if you wanted maximal spy action, allocate 100% of bonus to spy. If you wanted more income then place some bonus on gold production. Many other options are possible. If you wanted extra DA and Spy you could allocate 50% bonus to DA and Spy. Options are unlimited.

This is a sweet idea!! Hhowever you gotta remember that we still have cheaters no matter what the KoC admins try to do...so there needs to be some minimum's set
For example we currently have
Income Bonus
SA Bonus
DA Bonus
Spy Bonus
Sentry Bonus
Casualty Bonus (negative amount)
Make it so 4 groups have a minimum of 10% or six groups have minimum of 5%.

Great idea, but maybe it could start by having the same races with some preestablished bonus (which should be smaller than they are now) and have some % of the total bonus for players to distribute as they like. Not shure if this is what alwaysl00king2 meant. So many cool posibilities here.

That is pretty close Leili..good idea!

Seems pretty cool, but honestly, that wouldn't so much make players stronger as it would alliances. They could have a few guys who are 100% spy ratings with huge armies so can buy lots of spies and spy tools, and could go on sabbing sprees. I'm not much for this idea because it wouldn't have enough benefit to people who aren't as involved in alliances, even if they're in one (like me).

Yes it would work. Maybe put a limit on how much of a bonus you can add for each aspect of play. can still keep races and present bonuses before customising your army.

It would be a good idea if you had 100 points to spread out over the different bonuses. It would have to be limited though; something like a max of 40% (40 points) in one area. This would definitely spice the game up.

i like this idea =D
0 Trekie4ever
I like this idea too. Maybe... place a cap based on race. Orcs would be able to put more into SA while Dwarfs more into DA. Human would have more equal caps while Elves can play around with spy/sentry more. Undead...well, I'm still getting used to them..... zombies... *shudders*

Like the idea, although I think it would be ... "Abusable" xd

Another Idea is that the KoC admins can place 100 points of bonus's in 3 area's of each race, and give each user another 100 points of bonus's to use as they wish but limit each area to a maximum of 34% raise from default levels or a min of 10% for those the users choose to add too. So thus you will have a MAX, a default, and a Min level u can do. Example in next post
0 alwaysl00king2
(As defined in age 9..defaults will need to change to reflect 100 points)
Humans Default: 25% Income Bonus; Max 59%; Min 35%
Humans Default: 15% Spy Bonus; Max 49%; Min 25%
Dwarves Default 50% Defense Bonus; Max 84%; Min 60%
Dwarves Default 10% Income Bonus; Max 44%, Min 20%
Elves Default 35% Spy Bonus; Max 69%; Min 45%
Elves Default 40% Fewer casualties; Max 74%; Min 50%
More next
0 alwaysl00king2
ORC default: 40% Attack Bonus; Max 74%, Min 50%
Orcs default 20% Defense Bonus; Max 54%, Min 30%
Undead's Default 35% Sentry Bonus; Max 69%, Min 45%
Undead's Default 50% Fewer Casualties; Max 84%, Min 60%
Undead's Default 20% Attack Bonus; Max 54%; Min 30%
Of course the races need to have 100 points determined by admins, Once you see them, and choose, you can add your 100 points as needed

This is a wicked idea.
I love it and would give it all my votes if I could.

Great idea. How bout still the same races. Every race gets his own default bonus. For instance: Humans=+20% income,Dwarves=+20% defence,Orcs =+20% attack,Elves=+20% spy and Undead=+20% sentry. The player get 80% points after that to spend at any value. Now the twist. The max amount you can add to the origional default bonus is 20%(ex 40% max total) and the max at the other values are 30% each.

I made a suggestion like this to the Admins a few times, I doubt this will go anywhere, but I like it.

nice idea
0 intlvirus
I'm going to play the one guy who's against this idea. Races are a part of the game, and always have been. Take that away and you've taken away the soul of KOC, Although the whole customizable stats would be nice, I don't think this should be accepted. I do think undead should be killed off though, I don't know when they added that race but I think it's got an unfair advantage over the others.
2 assasinking
i like the idea, however it means alot of extra work for the team in charge of KoC.
e.g. they will have to limit the amount of bonus you can have
3 brendana
i love this idea =D it would add more depth to the game,or we could keep races but make it so each race has different"sub-races"with a basic theme in each as in dwarves all focus on defence, but with variations thru all sub races like aggressive dwarves with some attack instead of income,OR the players have an option to "tilt" these bonuses -10% in one stat for +10% in another stat and limit this
2 DragonHell666
an awesome idea!!! there should be some preset percents like someone said, that would be low, like 5-10%, that would allow u to still costumise but they would come from the original 100% leaving u with the rest to put on. there should be a little cap like 70-80% or so....(sorry about spelling... XD)

Very good idea. I love it!!!!!!

I think the so called races adds character to the game, but maybe this idea could come in by allowing user to have mixed army: X percent dwarves, X percent elves, etc. Also, could have possibilities for recruiting different races with an recruitment bonus for the users race, eg. elf could click to recruit 5 elves per day, 4 humans per day, 3 dwarves per day, 2 orc, 1? undead, of max 10 clicks/day.
