have not played express in a long time i will not be playing now either after looking it over these changes suck. always looked forward to playing it only a few days long and was fun to grab and get grabbed and kill someone for no reason. It is a war game treat it as one. changes i would like to see at least 500\500 turns. spy turns based on your size and amount of spies,l wold also like to see spies able to take more and destroy less.. no restrictions on attack type. No gdi in express. have to declare war if country is 3 times your size or 3 times smaller.Bring the fun back!

-If countries make a SS or PS their DR immediately falls to 0.

The more I think about this, the more I think it could be horribly abused. Two countries could start with zero/little defense and land trade indefinitely. Someone could also have a land farm that they hit multiple times then have the farm do a single attack to reset the DR whenever they want. They could claim the farm with 5+ attacks without resetting DR then reset the DR the next day when they're ready to play turns. If the admins are going to watch for and address that type of abuse, I guess the change is fine but it seems like it would be easier to just reduce the DR period to 4-6 hours.
