We are looking into having a hexagonal map, like the normal game map.

Also up for consideration is doubling the cost of attacking if there is only one link, and halfing it where there is more than 2.

Think that should make more attacks possible without making it any easier to get to the large planets.

Watch this space!

sounds good

Could you add names of Clans on the map, please?

I like idea points for each planet, but I think Noble Rust isn't small.
My suggestion:
Emerald, Antarticus - Small (1 point),
Noble Rust, Anubis - Medium (3 points),
Wasserland - Large (5 points),
New Paradise - Very Large (7 points).

other variant:


Emerald, Antarticus - Very Small (1 point),
Noble Rust - Small (3 points),
Anubis - Medium (4 points),
Wasserland - Large (5 points),
New Paradise - Very Large (7 points).

I have two things to announce: First is that we have discussed the map problems, and have come up with a possible solution. This map can be viewed at http://www.massiveassault.com/clans/nwo ... ar_map.JPG

This alters the initial battle plans considerably, but also gives major benefits:

1) Allows more choice for how to attack a clan - There are more planets to choose from to attack.

2) Makes it easy for new clans to be added in

3) Concentrates the battles more

The rules have been adjusted accordingly... a draft of the rules can be found at http://www.angelfire.com/empire/hofk/rules.html

Secondly, I wanted to announce a new addition to the New World Order. We have added Conqueror to our ranks. We are holding true to our promise of allowing newer as well as more experienced players to participate in the clan system, and I hope other clans do so as well, as new players are the life blood of this game.

map looks good, well done.

1 suggestion, should 2 clans attack a planet at the same time, the one who's email was sent 1st should obviously be the one to attack it. But instead of the 2nd attacker having to wait till the end he should be informed upon ariving he found the planet already under attack, and he then has the option of waiting and attacking the winner or finding another target.

Also we should up the value of medium planets to 4$ a week, so 16small+6medium+1large=50$ start.

And I don't feel that the current way of dividing up credits is gonna work in a clan enviroment, it should be upto the clan to allocate it's own credits. I know the current system si designed so that all players can attack the same ammount. But if someone plays games very fast(and their opponent does) and another takes 2 weeks to fight a small map you'll ahve the situation where some ppl can't attack due to lack of credits, and some have more than they can use due to their available time to spend on the game (or the ammount of time they spend over their turns)

All good points Enforcer.

In the interests of getting started, the medium planets have been left at 3 income.

There have been other slight (and not so slight) alterations to the rules to accomodate other suggestions that have been made.

Atm, we have decided to stick to a fair allocation of battles for each clan member, but this might change in future. The main aim is make sure that everyone feels included.

Anyone have anything else to add before we get underway?

No?

Good!

I look forward to seeing you on the battle field (preferably under my tank!)

Let the games begin!

Hi,

Did you get my e-mail with first two actions?
I'll send new message shortly.

I didn't get any reply to my suggestion about planet's cost

we're gonna keep it simple for now and just ahve 3 sizes, might change it later after we have the basic system tried and tested

Sorry Tiger.

Emailed responce to your suggestion but forgot to put it here.

Defenders have been allocated (although they don't know it yet!) and challenges have been sent.

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to play some games soon!

For Clan War games, please put "clan war" as the reason for the challenge to avoid any confusion.

ah ok i put something like the battle for planet anubis[102,102] etc

Hey Enforcer,

The battle we just started on Antarcticus, is that the Clan War Battle already ?
I thought it was just for fun.

Thx.

Probably clan battle!

What's your NSM?

You might want to take a look at Battle Control, there has been a bit of action over the last hour or so and you've been allocated 2 attacks!

Goes with the name!

Happy hunting!

Hi,

I've received another battle from enforcer & this one's a clan battle & Hostilities have begon

I'm just finishing an application form for a new job then i'll be checking for other battles.

My MSN is blabode@nildram.co.uk

Thx.

I added that MSN address, but haven't seen you online yet. Did you block me? My MSN name is Dave S

Artmax has problem with free time this week
It was unexpected. Could he delay his battle or we should replace him?

We're looking into some kind of inactive status as ppl need to go on holidays, or jut might get too busy in rl. We don't feel it's fair to delay the fights so we'd like you to replace artmax with 2 ppl chosen using the rules for who can play. But ignore Artmax from the list for the time being.
