Thread: another way to stop massive armies

Hybrid View

    Default another way to stop massive armies

    the suggestion is:

    at maintenance the level of every NPC will be changed randomly so that the massive armies can not depend on nearby quick feeds.
    this will also have the added benefit of killing off the bots int he first few random switches - those bots set to farm level 5's will get a shock when they his sixes or tens

    another suggestion is that food sorage is limited to 100million food - once youhit 100million you can not get any more into that city at all - this will definitely solve the problem and start the whinging

    It really doesn't matter people will still be able to have large armies just not quite as big or they will spend more time farming.

    Why would anyone want to limit army size? If you put in the effort to make a huge army why should u be handicapped to protect the guy who plays casually and doesn't take the time to make the same big army? Cutting army size would upset a ton of people as thats what they rely on and they have put in a ton of time building there armies. People saying there should be a cap sound like the sort who just arn't very good at the game as u only need a small army to defend if u know what you are doing.

    I would like the game to stay the way it is, but if there is some type of limiter for troops (many suggestions have been made since they started wiping npcs from the map "randomly" to make armies smaller) the people who farm more now will still farm more then and will still have the larger army............it will just be scaled down........and you will need to use more tactical attacks. now it 10:10 scale, put it on a 10:1 scale and the big armies are still bigger by the same % so stop trashing these types of ideas, it wont make a diff on the advantage you hold.

    I think all whiners should be sent to a special place in hell where they tell each other how the world should work. We can call it Evony.
    same goes for you

Although I am sure some would like to all hold hands and dance and be merry. But lets face it...its a war game. And the country,the makers of this game live in, just happen to have the worlds largest army. So good luck at convincing them big massive armys are a bad thing.
    .
    Every one has the same opportunity to make massive armys. You simply have to learn the game, and develop a system that supports a big massive army.
    if the defender doesnt have 4 mil troops to defend with you wont need a big army to attack with.............now yes if the defender has 1 mil troops and you have 1 mill troops you will have a harder time attacking, but thats where stratagy comes into play...........stop just brute forcing your way to victory, strive to make every troop count in each attack you send........and you have an alliance to coodinate with also...............geeeesh think b4 you talk

    Thumbs down what's the real point?

    Limiting army will just get everyone to have the same amount of troops and food and everything at one point in time.
    What's the point of that.

    If we ever go to that direction they better give the troops u are allowed to have as soon as u start the game.

    That will save time and effort, since you wont be able to stay ahead no matter what u do.

    That to me would the same as limiting the time u can be logged on or limiting the amount of money u can out in... just wont happen and it shouldn't happen.

    Go play chess....

    its not limiting the # to any specific #, its (like i said in my previous post) just a smaller scale of the army you have now, so that you have to use skill to play rather that just overwhelming amounts of troops

    This will just make the game plain boring.
    ok.. let's go to the real deal.

    You could only have a certain amount of (not specific troops kind) troops in your city. Your enemy will only have the same limited amount of troops.

    You will never have the troops necessary to overcome his defenses. Your enemy in other hand will never have enough troops to overcome your defenses..

    I don't see the point.

    If there's a limit of any kind everyone will reach that limit eventually and then the game is over.

    As of now you have to play strategy, even if that means porting away or hiding or bluffing until you have enough to defend and/or attack the enemy. With limitations of any kind this will go away. It's like giving the exactly same army to everyone, even tho you propose no specific troop count it's still the same at the end.

    Just think about it and you will realize it.

    In order to kill 100k whatever troops you need at least double that.
    How can you have that if there's a limit?

    This makes no sense. It will still be the same, just in smaller version. Then, since there is no cap, the bigger guy will just get bigger and bigger and be even more overwhelming to the smaller guy.

    Why place a cap or limit it at all? If people want bigger armies, then they pay the price with having to feed them. What you can feed is your limit. If you go beyond that, then you risk suffering refuge and lose troops. That is enough of a cap. People enjoy building their armies. They like seeing the big numbers like people like seeing themselves at higher prestige numbers and their heroes at higher attack levels. People put a lot of time and effort and even money to get what they have. They should be allowed to have it.

    I've said this before, but I'll say it again. I see nothing wrong with massive armies at all. As long as you built that army, feed that army and use that army without cheating. You should be able to have it. Thats what makes the game fun, people attacking you and you attacking other people with massive troops and killing massive troops.
