    Default Conquer Mode/Attack Button

    So we all know that Evony is working on some ideas with a conquer mode/attack button for Age II. Great idea. BUT, I would just like to add a few thoughts:

    1. A player may choose to play in colonize mode or conquer mode.
    2. A player may designate which cities they want to put into colonize or conquer mode. Chosing a mode will NOT automatically effect all of their cities. So a player may chose to have 3-4 cities in conquer mode play style and 7 cities in colonize mode play style.
    3. If a city is in conquer mode, it can be capped, period. Even if it is the players last city. This means historicals will always be capturable.
    4. Cities that are inactive for "x" time, like a player who left the server, automatically go into conquer mode. I would say 3 months is more than fair.

    Please consider these thoughts.

    Your third point is flawed,
    I for one would not want to lose my last city being an active player and forced to restart the server.

    Rep me or I will declare WART on you!

    I disagree. YOU want to be able to conquer other players cities? YOU want an attack button? Then be prepared to face the consequences... and that is losing EVERYTHING. And yes, even your last city. Because if you make a historical your last city and it is uncapturable... well, that is extremely unbalanced.
    Bullies whine and cry about not being able to capture other cities of weak and lower level players. Well, if you choose to play conquer mode, then having all of your cities destroyed is a fair deal. If you want to protect one or two of your cities, then keep them in colonize play mode.

    Conquer mode is conquer mode, period. Any city in conquer mode should be able to be conquered. And historicals should never be allowed to go into colonize mode but always remain conquer mode.

    If my ideas are flawed then explain why. Just don't say, 'they are flawed'. Explain why they are. And my ideas are pretty much inline with Evony based on what Evony has already proposed. And yes, I would be very scared of losing any city I spent months building up just because some kid with a credit card doesn't like me. So he advance ports to wipe me out, laugh, then run back to his safe little alliance nest. That is total juvenile game play and not what Age II is about. It is much more sophisticated.

    So, if players want to act juvenile then they should inherit the risk of losing everything. You want to be a big tough guy and destroy cities of weak players? Have your alliance gang up on a player because you don't like them? Ok, then be prepared to lose every city you have, even your last one.

    If you are allowed to keep just 1 city in conquer mode than that would be putting Age I into Age II. And Evony is trying to take Age II in a more sophisticated direction. Not a brute force juvenile smash and dash and laugh direction that is pretty much Age I. Age I is like a one string instrument, a string tied to a stick and it is plucked to make an amusing sound. Age II is like a grand piano.

    Edit: And another point. How on earth is anyone supposed to build up to overthrow a Suzerain or build up to capture a historical if players are allowed to conquer any other player at will and plunder their resources? It will take some players an entire year or more to prepare for Atlantis. But if they choose to play in conquer mode, then building up for a historical will be impossible.

    And a final point, I see the future. Evony will integrate some attack feature because 300 forum members kept yapping that they wanted one. But the second some attack feature is worked into Age II players will use it for the first couple of months. Then they will all switch back to playing Colonize mode after they learn that conquer mode prevents them from accomplishing long term goals and strategy in Age II. "We want an attack button!!" *attack button comes* "Uh, nevermind, I like playing colonize mode better."

    Spoken like a true farmer. You couldn't hack Age 1 so you ran to Age 2. I got news for you.

    If I remember correctly if you were on conquest you could have 4 "protected" city's which could not be capped, now I don't really think protected means those city's are on colonized mode, I think they just can't be capped, but can be plundered. I think there will be some ppl that stay on colonized mode when we get the conquest mode, but these ppl will pretty much be playing farmville. And in my opion to have maybe 5-10% of the games pop playing pretty much a different game on the same server is kinda dumb.

    What I think should happen is,(and this will probly will nvr happen) they should have a conquest server, and a carebear server, that way all the carebears can sing kumbaya with eachother.

    Yeah, the 4 protected city thing was one of the proposed changes. The other was to just give players the option to play colonize or conquest mode. But I totally disagree with you about the percents. I believe that the majority of players will play colonize mode. By far. Would be very interested to see statistics from evony if and when they add some kind of attack play option

    Very few people can deal with Age I... which is why Age II was made. Listen, I cannot be online 14 hours per day to defend my cities. Nor do I want to give my password info to anyone.
    Sure, it's a war game. And war means strategy and long term objectives. War is sophisticated, strategic, long term and focused. Everything that Age II is. Not just smashing cities like some juvenile in Age I.
    So you want a real war game? Then play chess. Brain over brawns my man, brain over brawns. That is what REAL war is about. The soliders best weapon is his brain.

    You're right. That's why the majority of people playing Evony are playing Age 1.
