I think they should create a fee based system, that would cut down on multiple accounts and eliminate the IP banning system. Sure, someone could pay to have multiple accounts, but at that point, I say let them. They've paid for it. I'd be willing to pay $3 per month. Of course, as a paying member, I don't want advertisements. :)
Not sure what alwayslOOking2 is worried about. Most people train down at the end of an age anyway. If you can train/untrain attack and defense, why not spys and sentry? It's only fair and gives you more control of your army. I give it 2 points. :)
The alliance system should only be for your chain. When people join a commander, they get access. There should be mods/admins that can be appointed, which should have the ability to ban chain members from the alliance system in the event they are disruptive. There should be a way to access old posts...to a degree. If there's a lot of posts since you last signed on, then you are missing out.
chemikills, the idea is balance. If SA and Spy have an advantage, then you end up with an Age of slayers....oh wait, that's what's happening now. lol What's even worse, is the 1/3 spy ratio. Couple that with being able to sab Sentry, and it gets even harder. Balance is needed so you can have sabbers, rankers, or slayers. A 100 point Sentry tool would be a start in the right direction.
Ads will never be scrapped on recruit pages because they generate revenue. The key here is that a premium account will replace that revenue which will allow them to continue running the game. The idea is that people don't have to get the premium account if they choose to use an alternative method. I do believe recruit pages without advertising would allow for faster clicking. :)
And you shouldn't have to choose Undead to make up for a poorly developed sentry system. Just think, if they fixed the sentry tools, Undead would be even better. :)
Inferno, If someone buys 100 nuns, it'll cost 72,500,000 gold. To buy 200 LT's it'll cost 100,000,000. You can buy 37 more nuns for the price of the LT's. So 137 nun's is a power of 13,700 and 200 LT's is a power of 12,000. I think there is a difference. :)
I agree with Trekie4ever, if SA has an advantage over DA, then Sentry should have an advantage over Spy.
There would need to be a way for the admins to pick moderators. Something fair and that person should have no advantages as far as game play is concerned. Say a moderator can unban someone, well I think it should be a vote amongst moderators not just one individuals decision.
I agree that the game needs moderators, as long as it doesn't give them an advantage in the game. However, there needs to be a way to decide who gets to be a moderator.
It would need to be repaired, along with your other weapons. I'm just thinking if you can steal their gold, you should be able to steal a weapon as well. Perhaps you can even chose the type of weapon you will attempt to steal. Make the battle more interesting.
I suggested this a couple of ages ago. I'm still for it. you can still cap how many mercs you can buy. I guarantee they would be hard to buy as well, so sabbers can still be vulnerable. Besides, you can just sab their tools. :P
Um, isn't there already a buddy list? Albeit a manual system and it doesn't show if they are online. Perhaps they could expand on the existing feature?
Then why did we need another spy tool? Nunchuckas weren't necessary, but we got them anyway. With the sab ratio being what it is, Sentry needs to be much higher then Spy. It's unbalanced. Even with a Sentry bonus, it's still a pain in the a$$ to get it up.
I always thought the grease monkey scripts weren't legal and could get you banned. But I suppose you can't detect GM and if you could, it could be used for other things besides KoC.
I like the 'max' idea. I bet I could still hit someone during a sell off. :P
wait until you get hit because it was the one time you had to enter a captcha..I know I'd be ticked off. lol Regardless, i do think this is an awesome idea.
Have firefox autosave your login info and remember form history. There was a history of hijacked accounts, especially in dorm rooms so I don't think it would be wise to enable a feature like that. The same reason why they removed the email address from the commander screen, because of screen shots. ;)
I agree with this one. Many times someone is in my log, I see they have gold and go for it, just to find out they were online. How was I supposed to know? I'm certainly not going out of my way to find them in the battlefield to make sure they are offline. lol
