ALRIGHT! Now I've played the crap out of games since the 90's and even part of the Metasoft team that let you play UO and WOW for free. BUT now we are in a different time. 70% of the MMO's I've been an alpha tester. If you look at most of the games out there they have huge promotional expenses because they are rolling in the money. CoW is not one of them. I play in the fall and winter because there's actual real life out there!. Plus I've had it with fantasy, I love to watch it on TV but I can't play another key stroke of it...
WHAT we need RIGHT NOW is a game of players that will actually play. Here is what I see now. Gold doesn't mean anything, you see it and decide if you want to fight it or not... that's always been the game. BUT what I consider a sin above all others is the puppet countries, nothing in the game is worse then that. I have seen level 70 players use them. It's a disgrace to the game and the players and be CALLED OUT. As a programmer for 30 years, writing an algorithm that could identify them would take a day. I find them with spies in 10 turns.
SO THE BOTTOM LINE OF THIS MINOR RANT IS THIS:
I WANT A 100 MAN LEVEL 50 MINIMUM, RANDOM TO STOP WHAT WE ALL DO. DROPS DOUBLE THE TROOPS, LOSE ALL ICs AND GO AGRESSIVE AI.
Now this is a game I think many would like to play.
I just came back from last winter and won Pacific in 27 turns, and 100 man in 34, about to win another pacific in about 30..THAT SUCKS!
I want to have real game or I'm gone.
