Acts of War

[Turock]

Guys the declare war feature doesn't work if the game won't allow it to! If someone wants to goto war and fight to destory an empire they should be able to! The problem is once the empire you are attacking reaches < 500 land they turn red and you can't do anything to them! Now I see a few peeps in the FAF WoA's game that have kills, how is that possible for them and not others?

[Gen. Volkov]

They changed it so you can't kill someone without a clan. You can do massive amounts of damage to them, but it takes a clan to kill them. Too many kills were happening otherwise.

[Devari]

Wow... I must have missed that!

[Arthus]

I still think you should be able to kill someone even without clans. Cause in a game where there is no clan, no killing then?

[The Beatles]

Are you sure you don't simply have to switch to standard attack? Have you tried doing so? I don't recall such a measure, and if Devari doesn't either, it's a fair bet it never came into existence.

[Gen. Volkov]

I remember it being discussed... and I thought it was implemented, but it looks like I was wrong. Probably the Std. Attack switch is what's needed.

[Ruddertail]

Meh, I don't recall anything like that. People have to be in a clan to be killed because the hit limit will save them, otherwise, but other then that, the only requirement is standards under 500, at least on FAF code.

Perhaps their nets are just dropping too low? When you get out of 10x range, you can't attack, even with a war setting...

@Arthus - that's the benifit of not being in a clan, having the hit limit. Add a personal war setting, and you get a kill happy climate and loose any advantage for not being in a clan, knocking out another layer of strategy. We've tried personal war. It doesn't work well.

[Gen. Volkov]

I think they re-enabled personal war Rudder.

[Turock]

Yes personal war was enabled and standard < 500 is set. You are right Ruttertail, it is the fact that one empire is more than 10x greater in networth. I can understand why this is, I wouldn't want a war with someone with more than say 2 or 3 times my net! The starting networth values should be taken into consideration and not just the current. I guess it needs a bit more thought and then maybe some things changed.
