Fame earnings through gold earnings

[Captain Jack]

This sort of protection should come by with Guard-Escort feature. Feel free to throw your ideas there.

I agree with the Plank A.

For Plank B, at first I was against of any change. Then I run many many tests and I have came up with these results:
-Make it as CDV suggests: 50%/(number of ships/5).
-It will work great on the tail. Just raise the limit to 50 instead of 25 and it will also work on protecting newcomers from excessive attacks early on.

Here are my case study results:

Code: Select all

A shipmaster with 1000 ships and 7500 fame
Enters fame protection (at 50 fame) in 1277 attacks


Code: Select all

A shipmaster with 3 ships and 7500 fame
Enters fame protection (at 50 fame) in 3 attacks


Code: Select all

A shipmaster with 200 ships and 30M fame
His fame will drop to 5m in 143 attacks


As for the protection issue for large shipmasters; it should not even be a discussion. Even a 1000 ships fleet, how much does it really cost? 65M? Okay, dig up a treasure, put 65M there and if you ever lose your entire fleet; build it again. You can't keep doing this? Np, Build as much as you can protect. After all, the efford needed to wipe entirely a fleet is surely greater than the effort needed to build it.


-Keep the 10%/number of ships/5 for Skirmish, no problem.
-Don't use fame criteria at Skirmish 1.0 for target selection. Wait till we see how it works first.

Just one comment on Black Sparrow's post....

After all, the efford needed to wipe entirely a fleet is surely greater than the effort needed to build it.

I strongly disagree!

aye,capt.... the efford needed to wipe entirely a fleet is lesser than the effort needed to build it.

Edit: 4. We need a vacation mode that does not require credits and one that every player can afford to use. The ability to stay away from the game for up to 3 or 6 months, or up to when the player logs in next, whichever comes first. You must 'apply' for leave 3 to 7 days before, so that the vacation mode does not become misused. Everything stops-trade , fleets, gold production etc. and stays the same until the player comes back from vacation. I'm sure other players can add the details.

That's off topic.Keep forums clean. Create a new topic if you want to suggest something.

How about the use of the formula we suggested?

[Captain Jack]

Truth is that it seems more reasonable. I am up for it.

Sorry. This is also off-topic but we need some forum mods. All the current ones seem inactive.
