just around 2 more mounths left

I do like some of the new tweaks and I am really looking forward to the new features like adding more command abilities for leaders and ministers.

But please do something about the resource income issue. Revenue levels are just too low. For my conquer income to match my normal resource income I would need around 60 conquers. This level of conquers is beyond the reach of 99% of players.

Please, please do something about this - the game has been completely tilted away from active, industrious players towards those who barely play.

Lack of income will turn Battledawn into Runaway-dawn as it is not worth fighting most battles because the cost and time it will take to replace losses will far outweigh any potential gain from winning a battle.

Its simple maths. I attack a colony, conquer it and lose 1 tank - cost 600+ metal.

The income I gain from that colony is 5 metal and 2 oil per tick.

That means I must hold that colony for 120 ticks to just replace that tank nevermind expand my army.

That same colony can rebel after 72 ticks and I am now down on the deal, having only recovered 1/2 of what the conquer victory cost me.

This shows how illogical the new rates are. And I used a simple and common case, losing only 1 unit.

If you attack any colony ranked higher than 1000 then your losses are likely to be much heavier and completely unrecoverable. Please explain how this makes any sense ?

We've changed Earths 1-3 to be basically single tick worlds in income and squad movement just with 2 refreshes an hour. We've made these changes to prepare for when they're converted to actual double tick worlds (30 minute ticks, 4 tick minimum attack, 3 defence and "normal" income) - think of the rounds in E1-3 as "half" of a round. For example, like playing the first 1,500 ticks of a "normal" server. However when we implement the double tick servers as I mentioned, they will have the normal "higher" income.

Thanks alot,
St.Even

Why change Earths 1-3 to double speed? I think people rather like the two updates per hour thus far, and I don't see the logic behind changing to double speed.

Sheesh, I sure do complain a lot ever since I left the old servers! Oh, wait.....I complained there too, just not about how the game was being run!

EDIT: St. Even, now that you point out that we are basically receiving the same amount per tick as we would on a normal speed world, just in two separate installments, it makes a whole lot more sense to me now. Thanks for the explanation, sir!

I havn't really checked it out, but I figured I would ask.

On e4 you get twice as much energy per tick as on e1-e3.

On e4 it takes half the ticks to reach your destination.

When using a gate, are the "costs" the same on both servers? Or is e1-e3 half the price? (I would hope it is half the price)

The costs to gate on E1-E3 are halved.

odd, how come on e4 sometimes I get +2 energy and sometimes I get +4 energy?
