Thread: another way to stop massive armies

  1. #1

    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'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.

    The problem with limiting food is that if you decide to march 100k ballistas more than 90 miles to attack something they will need to carry far more than 100 million food. And if you decide to send multiple waves of many mechs and troops that require lots of food then you will only be able to send 1-2 waves and build up 100 million food again before you can send any more waves. So even a small army, if marched a long way, can easily eat 100 million food in just a single attack.

    massive armies are good, but when they are fed by massive amounts of alt accounts - the game is stuffed

    if only evony forum would allow naming - things might get done, the littel report button does nothing

    evony takes money from the bot users and the multiple/ alt users - so this is the only way to even the field

    Your ideas wont work mainly cuz they hurt both the players that keep massive armies and those that dont. What I think would be a better solution would be to implement a bracket/tier system, since in the real world adding more people to your city (be them troops, civilains, tourists etc) requires more food. With more people means less space for food to be grown which means more food has to be imported.

    A bracket system would add extra food demand as troop count increased, so lets say you have 1mil total troops you would keep the current requirement of say 3mil food per hour. Now normally if you increased the troop count the food increase would be linear to whatever the troops required that you added, but lets say they tack on an extra increase in food required based on how many troops you have compared to your max population. Just like in the real world over population adds extra demand and one of two things happens, people pony up and buy or go searching for whatever is in short supply or they move away to somewhere that has what they want/need in abundance, thus lowering the population.

    Basicly an avg person with a modest army for self def would have a normal food requirement. Someone that has an army of millions of troops on hand and currently runs -50mil food an hours would now see maybe -100mil or more and they would either be forced to farm/attack more or down grade the army. Those that cheat, well all I can say is that there are only so many npcs out there to bot with and you can only fit so many feeder accounts around your cities, they will be capped out aswell.
