Thread: Should Uprise have a cooldown?

  1. #1

    Default Should Uprise have a cooldown?

    I am getting Uprise-griefed. I have this guy's cities colonized - all 7 of them - and he just keeps pressing the Uprise button every 8 hours. His gates are closed and he never recalls his troops to his cities anyway.

    I fully support the rights of a colony to keep me on my toes, lull me into a false sense of security, or try their luck against me in a real battle.

    However, once every 8 hours is getting a little ridiculous. Do other players think this should be allowed? Would a 3-day cooldown on Uprise be unreasonable?

    Slunk, yes, I uprise on you all the time and it is a valid strategy. It keeps you on your toes so you won't know when the real uprise will happen. It is the same thing as sending an attack, then recalling, then sending again. If a player can send multiple attacks with 5 warriors and 1 transport just to keep the report flashing red, then a colonized player can do the same thing by constantly uprising.

    Also, you can dump me as a colony, then recolonize me and keep doing it again and again without waiting 3 days. So if you can do it as often as you like, then way can't I?

    Doing "fake" attacks is a war strategy that is as old as time. If you put a cooldown just on uprises, then a cooldown needs to be put on every other form of attack.

    And once every 8 hours is nothing compared to sending you an attack once every 30 minutes. Something that people can do. By you suggesting a cooldown only for players who uprise is not very fair at all.

    i agree, it should have a cooldown, but no more than 24 hours.

    Then all attacks should have a 24hr cooldown.
    Listen, if you guiys want to colonize players, learning to deal with multiple uprises on a daily basis is what you need to do. You are basically tell us "Uprises are annoying, please put a limit on them."
    But so are attacks. That ALSO means that a cooldown should also apply to all players who attack a city and attempt to supress it. That is all I am going to say in this thread.

    I very rarely take part in debates regarding the game itself, but I have to agree with Japanpimp here. This is an acceptable tactic within the game, just as sending fake attacks.
    And losing ten percent of your resources can also be considered annoying.

    Because it is part of my strategy... I may open my gates someday. I may do the "real" uprise someday. It also helps me learn when my enemy is online and if they have a shared account. And many many other things.

    As do I agree with Japanpimp that it can be rather annoying, but the rate of colonization tax is hardly enough of daresay "punishment" for losing, so yes it can be a little annoying, but it practically does nothing compared to attacking in Age I. Im getting off topic now though, my apologies.

    its a pretty noob tactic, just like sending a 1 transport attack that lasts for 13 hours. If you are brought down to decieving and annoying the hell out of others just to win, you should seriously re think your strat since as soon as conquest mode comes out, i wouldnt be surprised if he capped your city just for the fun of it because you are annoying..

    Hope I helped! ^.^
