I doubt many nnew players are awaiting to be a slave of another nation tbh. And you also have the lack of diplomacy on the other side. In order for this feature to be used both the offender and the defender need to be diplomatically skilled. Which makes effective use of such a feature still void. You wish to add another layer but as stated above.

Quote from NarmerTheLion

Andd maybe if people would start actually using diplomacy instead of jumping into coalitions never saying a word...

Most people aren't using current diplomacy not to make alliances/coalitions not to trade not to talk strategy. Both on winning and losing side. Why would somebody who just destroyed another nation spare him so that person can backstab later? Most winners wont do that.

And most loser would leave before you can even message them. My conclusion remains

Then I'd rather have bytro focus on other features that aid both the RP and the Regular community. Andd maybe if people would start actually using diplomacy instead of jumping into coalitions never saying a word... Then Maybe this idea becomes valuable else I think still 95-99% of the losing nations will leave, especially taken that most people already leave if they lost their main army even way before the enemy enters their territory

Bit risky to start a topic like this this thread could end up in blacklisting. However you are right you have people that focus on single games and do their best in one or some games. Others join as many games as possible and will win in one and more importantly build in all so their overal profile score jumps up faster then the dedicates user. That is why I never really payed much value at the general score a player is defined by it's K/D's

Quote from LordCommande

Perhaps gold marks to enter a game is not a bad idea.
I think it would indirectly lead to more consistently populated games.

...but i don't think limiting gold marks will happen realistically, maybe in player hosted games

The discussion that has been waging basically as long as I can recall.realism is that most paying users still pay to get the advantage not to get the fair playing ground. And most of the free users would still not buy GM's to join GM free rounds. SO for bytro from a sales perspective it just isn't that valuable especially if you look at how much GM passes through some maps. THe best we have is still since day 1 the Gentlemens agreement

The intend of Supremacy1914 Regular rounds is total domination (or yeah 50-75%) so when you're so weak that you'd have to agree to such agreement there is little chance of such player still gaining the upper hand. Most users already don't use the diplomatic options they have available currently. How I even agree that in RP (my preferred game mode) it would be a nice feature. I don't think it adds a lot to the general game, (in my opinion) as in the end this is a risk like conquest game not a Roleplay Realism game.

yeah comes with it that single units usuallt survive a round something with small units doing better in the randoms then larger armies. But i haven't run tests on those

It's an continious battle with no right or wrong. So we're bount to opinions. and inthe end the opinion of bytro is the one that leads. same reason why pictures in newspapers were removed, why the new games don't have custom flags, ... Endless battle

the technique used to abuse the wait time between battles (an attack army can only attack a single unit). They have tried to fix it a bit in the past by allowing attacking units to attack a 2nd time if they got an instant kill but still a large part of the effects are around.

Quote from Golden Buddha

there is simple way to test those things

start an event in which players can play chosen map with unit trade

count how quickly this map will fill comparing to maps without unit trade

it is not players who do not want unit trade, but bytro

Display More

Bytro wants it but can't handle the tickets and cheaters who use it. In my time I've seen a lot of features go because they were abused...

In addition you could add this option per map Roleplayers tend to switch between Male and Female rulers of their nation so it would be quite obvious that Koningin Wilhelmina has abandoned her nation instead of his nation. But I also agree for the Rp'rs it's a small issue for people who are actually female, and in my time I've seen multiple too it woul dbe mainly nice.

Quote from Demonaire

The question is: you can't fire him, you ought to transfer him. Which, at its turn, returns us back to the problem of transfering soldiers' nationality as if it's nothing.

Had the artillery costs only the 5 oil as upkeep, you would have to be right.

you could also say the upkeep is the upkeep to keep then clean, store them , storage employees? I still think of trading units as trading the arms they used. Storing weapons isn't free either just like storing any other goods. In the industry knowns as storage risks and storage costs.

Of the Belgian

Quote from Demonaire

Which is ironic, since that trade save you from paying 20 tons of grain by the upkeep per unit.

I mean, since when is a cannon feeded with bread?

Well I fire the soldier that used to use those small arms offcourse . Why would I keep around a unarmed soldier?

tbh I always saw infantry trade more as trade of small arms and equipment, during my RP's

Quote from Aram

When do we recover our lost server?

Bytro never actually owned this server. The arab one together with some others were of a split of company (not necessarily split of but anyway) it was run by a company specialised in the translation and support of european games to other regions who have a much more harder language. That company stopped it's efforts why idk. But bytro never had a hand in it. All bytro did was provide the gamee engine (that is also why arab accounts didn't work on bytro servers).

It for certainly had nothing to do with racism. More about self knowledge. Bytro knew that due to the huge difference in language and culture that it could not run such servers directly. We see simular relations to the Russian server which is bytro owned but somewhat neglected.

Quote from LostRealist

why then even mess with this stuff at all when it's working fine?

Why? It's a mistake in priority at bytro they think they should do this to increase reality, etc etc. Bytro spends more attention figuring out and implementing "features" whether requested or not than that they spend on support or bug fixing. Which is heavily frustrating to say the least.

Quote from Golden Frieeza

I heard from someone that he had 1000% - can someone confirm that?

It used to happen but the offer depends on whether you ever bought I also think it no longer exists

Quote from Furry1

Lost, I think the hierarchy is failing within Bytro. The frontline being Mods and GOs are beating their heads against a wall

I now as former team member can also approve this message. Bytro doesn't want such confirmation button why is even for the mods a huge question mark all other games have it basically... and the **** of wanting to keep it easy for heavy users? we all know all those other games have some sort of setting to disale such question... The real question might be whhy doesn't bytro want such button

as far as I know that is not really possible best to send in a suppor tticket but you best have ssome proof (which is hard to obtain) the support link can be found in my signature

Quote from LostRealist

Come on, is it really too much to ask to even just tell me to _______ off 'cause nobody cares about me? Is this really what my five bucks a month are buying me?

Well I used to be the main guy checking the forum. I can tell you this 100% certain bytro doesn't care xd they do barely even talk to their crews xd communication is their main and mayor flaw despite them denying that time and time again nothing changed (for the better) since 2016 when they promised better communication... In contrary

If I may it might be a good Idea to add this to the FAQ. With Elite AI becoming default this information is also default.
