 Big fan of Vets duking it out too! or midsize players... Everyone needs to not confuse the reasons that some folks had behind this most recent war with an end to war in Illy. It's not.

In fact, I think that we need MORE wars in Illy. And I think that alliances should conduct them with restraint (refrain from annihilation) and I think that would make the game much more fun for many...

Sure it takes a while to build up cities, but losing a couple in a war when you have 9 or 10 isn't the end of the world...

I think this game could benefit from a sort of gentlemen's agreement that wars are fun and alliances will conduct them without every one of them having to be a moral crusade. (Although those do exist occasionally, and rightly so). Sorry to stir the pot up, but I think this is a GREAT topic for the community to discuss...

Disagree, when you have big cities, you are generally reluctant to risk them.

But trying to make illy more like a pacifist enviroment instead of a warring one would cripple player support in this game as much as killing off players, which was the point i was trying to make.
Patience is a virtue, resource giving is a sin

Just not a fan of a vet killing newbs for sport...

What if a newb mouths off to a vet?

Or

He sends 1 thief and it is caught?

Cool then?

I too disagree with this. Fun is fun, regardless of whether or not it cripples production.

yes that is true.

Are you saying production is the only means to fun?

Sorry Kilotov, I completely 100% disagree.

Ask Geofrey, I know he got some fun from the whole deal as did Baughb, Meganips and I.
 
I bet if you ask Demdigs he would also agree.

We had a lot of fun back in those early days.
