Hello,
LINK TO LAST 3 IDEAS ARTICLE
Today I'm writing to continue with some ideas that I gave last week. I got great feedback so let's continue with more.
IDEA 4: WAR STRATEGY
A few months ago, Plato and his admin masters made a change to the battles. Not directly but they added a map.
Using this map comes the idea itself. Let's imagine in the center there's a white board. Everyone begins there at the start of a round. Players must travel to get to different divisions of the battle, with all players being able to do so. This means, all players can fight in all divisions, even without a Maverick pack. Once a round begins a player starts outside the map, with the possibility of choosing any division of his liking and travelling there instantly.
To travel between other divisions however there will be some cost (time). Here we have two different scenarios:
4.1 - The time to travel between divisions depends on how many regions a player needs to cross. Let us say the player is in division I, grid B3. He wishes to fight in division III, grid B2. As division I and division III border each other there is only the need to cross 1 border. After 15 minutes for some reason the need arises to fight in division IV, which is in grid C2. To get there the player needs to cross through borders (from B2 to C1 and from C1 to C2).
The time spent to travel through borders would be fixed, for example to 20 seconds. This time would be halved if the travel starts from the Whitezone. Which means, in the examples above, switching from division I to division III would take 20 seconds, while switching from division III to division IV would be 40 seconds. To get from division IV to division II the player would have two options: either direct travel to division II, requiring the crossing of 5 borders - which would take 5 x 20 = 100 seconds - or travel from division IV to the Whitezone, requiring the crossing of 3 borders - 3 x 20 = 60 seconds - and from there on crossing 2 borders to get from the Whitezone to division II, requiring the crossing of 2 borders - 2 x 10 = 20 seconds (remember, starting the travel from the Whitezone halves the time needed to cross each border).
4.2 - In the second possibility the time needed to travel between regions would not depend on the borders needed to cross, but rather on the grid position-ID. Switching letters would take 10 seconds each letter, whilst switching numbers would take 5 seconds. Taking image above into consideration, to get from division I to division III the player must go from B3 to B2. The letter is the same, so no change there. The number changes in 1. So the time needed would be 10 x 0 + 5 x 1 = 5 seconds. To travel from division III to division IV the player would move from B2 to C2, 1 letter, 0 numbers, thus 10 x 1 + 5 x 0 = 10 seconds. If the player would now like to fight in division II, he’d travel from C2 to H4, 4 letters and 2 numbers, meaning, 4 x 10 + 2 x 5 = 50 seconds.
To add to this idea, I'd suggest also implementing what air battles had some time ago. 3 sectors when it's time for the air round, divided across that map and taking the same time to cross each region
I understand freely switching divisions would remove some of the use of Maverick, which is an issue that can be solved. Maverick pack would reduce all travelling time in half, and give the players the possibility of instant travel at a cost of 50 cc for each second. Evidently all these numbers are mere suggestions, and can freely be adapted to whatever would be considered more appropriate.
This would greatly improve the need for strategy and coordination that this game sometimes lacks. Players would no longer be able to “blindly” switch divisions whenever they feel like doing so, but would rather have to coordinate between them, especially during heavy fights, as switching divisions may be costly, either from a monetary or time perspective.
I believe this would be a great addition to the game. Even if not implemented as a permanent feature, a week (or month) long event with this campaign dynamic would be very interesting, and definitely fun.
IDEA 5: LEGENDS FOR FRIENDS
Nowadays allies can only really help each other with a direct attack, or in air battles. I understand air will be the future since there’s no perception (and thank you for not implementing it as yet, it will create the same gap as we now have in ground battles). This idea is to help the ground players to help their allies, and hopefully create again a leaderboard filled with different flags with people from an entire alliance fighting together in the same battle.
The idea is, simply put, Legends for MPP allies. As of now Legend for your country gives you up to 200% extra firepower for your country only, which - as we all know - makes fighting for allies in ground battles obsolete, as you deal a lot less damage. This suggestion would, hopefully, solve some of these issues.
There’d be a secondary ground battle rank. You would start off as Titan 3, or the rank you have in your country (whichever is lower), and will increase it by fighting for countries you have an MPP with. These legend ranks would also go up to Legend 20, with each of them giving you a 7,5% bonus to your hit.
Example: Let's say SERBIA is at war with CROATIA, BULGARIA is ready to help SERBIA, and HUNGARY is ready to help CROATIA. SERB asks for BG MPP and CRO asks for HUN MPP. The players that already have Legend for ally will have that 7,5% per Legen added to their hit, once the MPP is active, and only whilst it remains active. To gain MPP Legends players will, as logic dictates, need to fight for countries they have an active MPP with.
IDEA 5.1:
If above is implemented, I would suggest a True MPP Medal is implemented as well. It would work the same as the normal TP medal, but instead of it being for one's own country it’d be for damage dealt for allies. This would reward players in fighting for their countries allies, and help in increasing the aid allies provide each other.
IDEA 6: AIR STRIKES and not GROUND strikes.
Last, but not least, airstrikes. As the name suggests, it is an air battle. However, as of now they work exactly like any other campaign, with 3 ground battles, 1 air battle, 3 ground battles, and so on. An airstrike of which 75% is disputed on the ground.
My suggestion would be to change the campaign dynamic of airstrikes. Instead of being 3 ground and 1 air round they’d instead have 1 ground, 2 air, 1 ground, and so on, rounds. This way a greater portion of an airstrike is disputed in the air.
To avoid the battles becoming too short this way, I would suggest reducing the points a won air round gives from 22 to 11, with it giving 22 if epic (only for airstrikes, no change during other campaigns!).
As Airstrikes can only be sent every 15 days, its name will have meaning, with them being fought mostly in air battles, allowing countries to get to any place on the entire globe. This couples with the idea 4 - and with air sectors - would also greatly increase the strategy and time management to be the best and win
Take some good read about these ideas, think about them, comment and share your opinion. Read my last article for ideas 1-3, they are quite good too

This idea is to help the ground players to help their allies, and hopefully create again a leaderboard filled with different flags with people from an entire alliance fighting together in the same battle.
The idea is, simply put, Legends for MPP allies. As of now Legend for your country gives you up to 200% extra firepower for your country only, which - as we all know - makes fighting for allies in ground battles obsolete, as you deal a lot less damage. This suggestion would, hopefully, solve some of these issues.

Ideias muito interessantes falta saber se os admiradores estão só preocupados com o guito ou se pretendem actualizar a jogabilidade .
Edit:
Put perception for training!!
New training centers perception for aviators!!
that cant come and i'll explain now for more ppl to see it,
Ground battles have that problem, some are stronger than others and that made new players giving up. with air that inst happening because players sooner or later will reach the same rank and with that, same hit. today i am AC3 and a new player start in aviator, he only needs a few hits to reach a higher rank and our gap decreases. sooner or later that same player will be at same rank as me, the difference is that i'll be near reaching the next one and hes starting it but the hit difference wont be that huge like we have in ground rounds, that's why perception cant come, not at this time
Than it Is better to start another skill like ships?
Or making air divisions by rank?
What u think?
Mais ideias !!! Estás de parabéns !
I like idea number 5
if that's implemented, it might even make carousels obsolete, finally 😃 make MPP great again!
Make MPP great again! x2
vote for numbrt 5
Number 5 is by far the best idea of the 6 you've suggested, in my opinion.
Wonderful good idea
Instead of Legends for friends a simpler thing to actually give alliances some meanings - have a 10% booster when fighting for a fellow alliance member.
10% booster wont make any player hard-fight for another country in the ground, simply because fighting for they own country would be much more dmg productive and drain. you have ghost booster wish are great, 30% of max hit and still, because its only 1min each, players don't use them regularly. the MPP legend came to change that, to have allies fighting ground for other allies.
with a 7.5% dmg gain for each legend, a max of L20, a player get 150% more dmg for MPP countries, this means 50% difference for their own country and not the 200% difference we have now.
Idea #5 would bring back old dynamics back to the game, where MPPs actually mattered and countries actually helped each other directly, instead of the alliances working the way they evolved to work right now. at the moment, alliances are pretty much based in the countries having bases established in each other's allied territories - using those bases both to have active TWs, so both parts can farm some gold; as well as defense purposes - in the way that if an enemy country decides to invade a specific area, with, let's say, 3 or 4 allied countries with their bases established there, that could possibly mean having to fight off in up to 4 or 5 different fronts.
This "return to the origins" could both be fun, as well as underwhelming, since the fighting actually would again matter and make an actual difference when it's done directly by your allies, that would also mean the MPPs would be again something "mandatory" as well, and thus, that would also mean that the current established bases would no longer be viable for farming gold as they are right now.
About #6, I really like the sound of that, and it would definitely change the dynamics of Airstrikes, making them more viable for smaller countries, with less Legend ranked players, for example. Therefore, with this in mind, I disagree that they would be a nice combo with idea #5, since I consider it the exact opposite. The idea #5, as I explained before, would kill completely the current strategies that alliances currently use for attacking areas on the globe, where they usually just send massively coordinated Airstrikes with multiple countries landing attempts in the said area, and this change you propose to the way Airstrikes work could benefit much more the currently used strategies rather than the new meta we'd see if the idea #5 would also to be implemented.
Idea 5# wont kill the game as it is. you have MPP with a country and TW with others, you can continue those TW's and still "farm" the MPP legend in those MPP countries. example, Portugal. We have MPP with Colombia and Paraguay and TW with a few others. we farm in those TW's and if we want, we can still fight on ours MPP battles without travel. this way we are getting MPP legend rank from 2 countries and farming in other X ones. if Z country get into a war and ask for PT MPP, we lose the TW to have it and all who where farming the MPP legends in Colombia and Paraguay, will have the bonus hit for that one Z country. its a win-lose situation that each country need to adapt and choose what to do, help them in direct battle (NE the enemy in common) MPP the ally (get MPP legend dmg for our soldiers) or continue with TW to farm gold.
so from your perspective,airstrike will be 1 gnd 2 air and so on,with epik 22,so as i see you suggest that CODE never make any airstrike,cause with your bots,you have a big advantage,and ground wont take any matter
how many advantage you still need
well, i see your point but gathering idea 4 and 6 and combine them, will obligate the airs to have sectors, players will need to "instatravel" in the start of the battle or take a few sec to change sectors if they want to fight in 2 different and those bot armies you talk about tend to end, for both sides. that's why sectors where necessary, because air-bots cant choose side. this goes both ways, CODE and ASTERIA. but the ideas are not about that, its to improve the game or at least my thoughts of doing it.
can plato listen to u?🤔
Nice ideas, it's a shame your BFF doesn't care about them 🙁
parei de ler na terceira linha "all players can fight in all divisions, even without a Maverick pack"
read it before judge 🙂
Some nice ideas, some others I wouldn't really like, but it's a nice article and it's always good to see creativity like this.
Voted hard!
I like your ideas alot, and I think that , in order to give importance to maintaining some regions, allowing hospital ( give extra total life and extra recovery to each inhabitant) + Defensive systems (similar effect to determination) in regions would be veeery nice. And everything is already implemented. But admins are not going to do anything, be realistic.
Liked your ideas in both the article.
A lot of players have amazing ideas. That actually Improve player growth and retention and indirectly increasing their revenue. But the admins are sloths.
if the players really want something, sooner or later they (admins) will think about it and work together. that's my goal
regions is a bit confusing. i think especially in tight battles or epic battles players might get frustrated if it takes them 3 to 5 minutes to fight in a battle and division of their chosing.
think difficult enough to get ppl to fight in battles without adding layers of complexity. but will read through it thoroughly tonite at home if i'm able.
ok understand it more now. this has been done in another online game. where it takes you several hours to reach other players to fight or to fight in alliance battles/town battles. one get used to it. it would also tether certain players to certain parts of the world. for example a serbian fighter wouldnt want to travel to ireland to fight there if serbia was not in some kind of war with them. or wouldnt be ass bothered to do it. you would see pools of players in certain areas and virtually none in other areas. or am i understanding this incorrectly.
better use for the board would be to green light grey light areas where a players got a bh. could add a ranking for this. you would only be able to green light an area once in a week.
the board is the same in any battle, only the starting divisions would be random, example: BATTLE A round 1 Div1 start in E4, Div 2 start in A1 Div3 start in F2 and Div 4 start in B5. in the battle B Round 1, D1 will start at K3, Div2 will start at A3, Div3 will start at C1 and Div4 will start in A1. this way, being completely random, no bots can instafight and travel easily, because i'll require man-work to do so. Also, when a new round start, you start outside the map and you can instatravel for any place of the map, this said, if a new epic is ongoing, all players can simply travel there and fight, no need to wait time to do so. travel is required to fight in more divisions than the 1st you pick.
keep eR simple. if you want strategy play Hearts of Iron, War in the East, or similar
erep is not a simple game, should not be. should be complex. you'll learn that with time 🙂
Voted and endorsed!

Don't mind me.

What the hell is this? Worse than V2 hexa - which I have liked 😃
Whery interesting ideas, but i think that game owners don't have entuziasm for any kind of changes.
For some time now, a similar idea has occurred to me regarding the use of legend ranks in allied campaigns. The difference is that in my idea, the legend bonus does not come for all signed MPPs, but a law would have to be passed for which country is valid with a duration of 2 or 3 days. The break between the passage of the new law could be, for example, 7 days. That way, a little strategy would come back into play, imagine the confusion about gaining and losing borders combined with other countries voting to help their allies. : D Good strategists could really get a lot out of this.
