Just a thought since it's so damn expensive to max ( like 3/4 of the sets ) the bonus should also include free gov change while at max.

govt change belongs under expenses.

Says who?

it suits better under there

Slander, lies and Tom foolery...

Crippler, could you outline what this change might accomplish that would be generally positive? I only see that it would twist de-stocking strategies, potentially changing the end game for netters. What am i missing?

meaning if you max decay and want to change from rep to theo it would play out as a change from mono to theo and you wouldn't incur the government change penalties of ~14-39% depending on nw.

I get your suggestion - maybe just take the decay bonus % as a cost diiscount to the current switch fee. But i was asking what you think this would do for the game? Because i'm not able to see how this would improve anythiing. As you get closer to a no cost switch, you could run turns as a rep, switch to theo to buy units and switch to dict for security while you were away from the game. Is this the kiind of thiing you are lookiing for? If yes, why is this good? If not, what are you looking to do with this change and why is ithat good?

Thanks!

:)

I think it would be helpful but only if it was a reduction on the costs after the base 14%

:D
Keeping a minimum 14% would stop my pathological switching example above - and yes i am for some minimum - but other than changing the end game for netters, what does it do?

I guess if you were on the huge side of things by mid or 2/3rds of the set, and had been takiing only corruption bonuses, then maybe one switch at that point might become feasable that is currently pretty much networth suicide. But again, this is about adjusting netting strats and their end games. On a war footiing, i don't see it as meaningful except maybe for a late set surprise first strike - posturing as netters and switching to stike mode.

Would those be good changes to the status qua?

Says who?

its expense not decay/corruption

i'd view government revolt as corruption :-p

If you alliance gets hit then switching should be greatly discounted by like a patriotism bonus or something?

i rescind my previous posts

up down ?

Up down?

You mean with the proposal?

Definitely "down" - imo, all suggestions must be supported by transparent, rationale discussion about what the suggestion will accomplish and why that is better for the game as a whole.

Your suggestion has not been supported, either because you can't manage it, or you do not want to reveal your true intentions.

So, thumbs down.

he wants to change govt w/o spending turns to put stuffs on market and no cost.

or you're too slow to interpret what's been said ?
