They don't need a smtp server. Just use php built in function mail(....).

And setting up smtp is like super simple. No idea why that would be a challenge.

Add @ triggers, which emails a user who is pinged in forums.

@slagpit would email you (slagpit). And perhaps have a small menu to turn on/off.

If you think about it,.. apps like Slack already have this idea.

Record the times you're online. Visualize it on a graph.
You don't have to login to get forum updates then pull the data once every 30secs from alliance thread for those times.

There's no doubt redesigning the arch of this game would make it more efficient & it's too bad this game isn't open source by now. With that said, it's not my site so not my decision just my opinion.

I haven't agreed with Slag on just about everything on these forums; but, I have to agree with him on this - posting non-public endpoints, proxy ips ect., is def going to be a no-go. We all know that as developers.

I don't think Rasp did it on purpose of course - as developers & as fans of the game we like to contribute in any way we can. If we had like another channel exclusively for developers (sorta like the developers API) for where a circle of programmers could discuss code suggestions might be beneficial to both sides.

Oh and Rybka is the best.

Imagine allowing players to play FFA style on ALLIANCE. Or TEAMS rules on EXPRESS.

Until you enforce the rules of what the server is actually called “TEAMS”, no extra gimmick of faster turns accommodates that.

It should be. It's the cesspool of EE.

Until you can actually enforce TEAM vs TEAM and not ALLIANCE vs TEAM., the server is pointless.

Unless I'm just plain recalling this incorrectly., the GDI restriction is different on EXPRESS.

The GDI restriction is prevention of special attacks unless a player has committed >= 2 negative ops/SS/PS (any combonation of these).

The size restriction I don't think exists on EXPRESS (except for humanitarians). I just can't remember if this last section is true or not. Would have to read the GDI explanation on EXPRESS once it begins.

Should only need 10% to avoid Mehul.

Also, I spy.
Calculate units to send.
Enter attacking units into attack page.
Look at spy NW.
Do search on that country and check nw.
Click attack if same.

It's usually in that gap of calculating & typing in atk info is where it happens usually.

I think perhaps better would be to use enabled/disabled buttons to highlight which ones are "buyable" and have the same buttons in same spot entire time (with shorter text of just action). Right now it appears they dynamically change based on $,. and majority type of building you have.

I also see a potential issue where these buttons could get really big (long) for people with large countries. Have you checked how these look on mobile where the costs of building were like really high? Are there a limit to the # of button rows?

I'm just saying how do you effectively ignore someone who can post something dumb and they just make another alt handle in 2 seconds.

ie.
name: celphi
message: you can't stop me

name: celphi_1
name: you can't stop me

ect.
and if you make it so that you block them all automatically., then you have another issue:

name: celphi
message: hello world

name: celphi_hidden_alt
message: hi friends

block celphi -> then i no longer see celphi_hidden_alt effectively giving away who my alt is.

Maybe you’re confusing it.

Each time a player in DR attacks 1 DR is removed.

Spy DR duration is based on server. In my experience it’s usually exactly 24 hrs for each op. So if you did 5 ops at 5am and 3 ops at 6am., then 5 spy DR would fall off at 5am next day and the remaining DR an hr later.

To implement this would be fairly easy., the issue comes in at it would be a way to determine who a person’s alt handle was. And if the ignore did not include alt handles then it would render this feature useless.

Anarchist

+30% gains on destructive spy ops
+20% more successful with theft ops
+50% more resistant to spy ops : decentralized nature makes it harder for external forces to infiltrate or gather meaningful intelligence.
+30% with special attacks

0 income tax (not adjustable)
-30% defense bonus: While great at guerilla tactics, their lack of organized defense makes them susceptible to well-coordinated military assaults.

With so many changes I have no idea how anyone could possibly calculate an imbalance of strategies.

It’s almost an entirely new game.

It also seems Slag is making changes to try out & not necessarily make permanent. The point of the discussion on forums is to point out an obvious imbalance which I don’t think there is one.

For my 2 cents., this change seems good to me.

There’s tricks to calculate a bot’s defense just on networth and govt type; thus some players could perform a successful LG without using a turn on spy op. This at least makes the spy op more valuable.

It just isn’t possible against a decent player because it requires you to maintain 3 units maxed on hand where they only need to overcome one of those unit types.
