Seeing how mage suicde it just a balance provider. Let's just limit it a bit?

Just set a limit like this, even for clan attacks.

If failed attacks > 60 then print "Too many attacks" Or something. I'm sure you get the idea.

Just have the attack counter go down by 2 every 10 minutes and when its at 40 they can be attacked again. So they have 10 intervals (1:40) to not be suicided.

Play with the numbers. But I think that's the best bet. I agree with Slasher. Any type of attack that involves guys to mages is a poor idea.

The other option we could do is implement a new ground attack that generally destroys buildings and land from the game. It kills % of the population and mages and such like that like .5% and can't be shielded against.

So it would be destroying land from the game (A comodity) and then also builidings, troops, mages, peasents. Sorta like a Scourched Earth Attack.

In all seriousness, now that I've thought of that. That WOULD help correct some of the land locking issues with someone taking a lead, getting broken and then stealing the land back.With instead, it just being dumped.

I like it except for the land being removed from the game - instead, why not have a purely destructive attack (pillage?) that destroys buildings without taking away the land that it frees that way. As well as that, it would destroy a certain percentage of peasants and mages. Gives indies a way to retaliate without destroying stuff from the game.

Thing is, the point of suicides is to lower ratio - so if the attack takes land, it won't lower ratio. Which is bad, since then you lose the whole purpose of suicides.

I know I keep saying this.

But one of the changes will do just that. When you attack, 50% of the buildings are destroyed and 50% are conserved, but have lowered efficiency I think...

So that's in the works. We need something that destroys land from the game, other than just dumping. It fixes a much needed balance issue with mage tanking.

Not to mention that both my runs prior and post takedown were screwed over by tax bug.

Fun fight though. Arty's round.
