At-War

I'll be brief: The game has evolved in a way that strongly favours "Nig" strategies. In the past you have had to nerf all strategies that were low on money and provide too many or too durable troops: PD, GW, GC, Imperialist, Iron Fist...

The reason for this is that it is considered standard to play games with 10,000 starting funds. This leaves the big countries such as Turkey and Germany with very little money and forces them to use cheaper strategies or conservative expansions. Expensive strategies are left unused or confined to cheap/middle countries: Great Combinator, Sky Menace, Master of Stealth, Guerrilla Warfare, good ol' tank Gen. They aren't abused as much as PD or imperialist because the great strain they put on finances at the start of the game.

It is time to stop playing 10,000 and start playing 15,000 as the standard game. It permits more lax usage of power strategies by big countries and protects the game from being overrun by spam strategies like it has been for the past 500 years. It is already widespread in world games but the older players still prefer the 10k system. With all due respect, I will refer to those as dinosaurs. Like accountants who still refuse to work with computers.

In anticipation of objections:
#1 I don't have problems managing my finances; I can manage playing with low funds in any of the strategies I handled.
#2 I am well up to date with the at-war system.
#3 I don't like the nig strategies, I have never done and I don't want to see them take over at-war; so yeah, I'm heavily biased. Maek dealings and GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY THREAD.

Thanks, await the response of the empires that make up at-war and their statesmen.

Zog facts from zogland introduced by zog, for the zog. Hi zog.

I've been arguing or discussing the game mechanics, the way modern 3 vs 3's and 1 vs 1's work, new nerfs, new buffs, and ideas that never came true with Zog since he was unbanned.

OT: Through his effort to find new ways to play the game, specially competitively, Zog realized that 10k will continue to make PD the most used strategy for any 10k 3vs3 game, and 1vs1s. Though 15k unbalances a 3vs3 in EU+, I do believe that it'd be fun to try out competitively. I'll try to open and play 15k competitive 3 vs 3's later on so I do support this, but only for now.

bai zog

I support this. Europe should be a battle of the major powers.

Turkey wins anyway.

Lol mfw everyone thought i was a noob for making 15k 1v1 games. listen to zog please.

also im always right huehue.

Zog is right. Support making duels 15k, everyone who does so makes a step in the right direction.
Also Topsi: Remember the change from 5k to 10k games? Most people said it would be nooby to play 10k and that those players couldn't manage their money. But the skilled players took the opportunity and kept making 10k games and now it's standard.
Don't listen, just keep making 15k games.

What about Turkey? There should be a option for 12K or 13K games!

One of the skilled players has to start creating mirror maps. I can imagine so many different ways of playing 1v1, but unfortunately I just don't have the time to create one.

ikr?
mirror maps of europe and 15k.
:/ but then people call me noob if i use 15k.

15k for noobs. Continue playing 10k or go beginners room.

All have right to decide with how much funds they will start games.
i like games with 1k starting funds Malta vs Cyprus will be great duel
