Port Diversity

Now is not my time. Again I aspire to be on top someday. Today is not that day.

:/. The fun just began

lol. Sorry to disappoint guys.

Well Phoenix definitely overkilled it, was the 20mil necessary lol.

Phoenix knows, one war that destroyed both sides. ZomB vs ROTF.

Which then led Roberts vs ZomB ( In the same war, but just a break inbetween )

Don't get me wrong! The 20 mil is not about Shadowood but rather to keep the port under control. It is premature but I was planning to bring St. Martinis to 130 million by Xmas and Pania the same by Valentine's

P2W P2W P2W ALL THE WAY!

No offense PK... Is it wise? If it is, and its needed spread it amongst players for god sake..

[PhoenixKnight]

I agree it is not wise at all!

Let's say PHX left Eygpt today and went to a country with no players. How long would be hold those ports. Not long. There is no way he could.

You must have not been paying attention to ports. PHX took Baramas, Regis, and Tortuga by himself. If there were other players in Egypt, they weren't in the Council and they weren't in the top 10 of those ports when they were taken. Players started to migrate to Egypt and even then, Seaglory was taken solely by PHX. Pania, Goroum, and St. Martins became part of Egypt by other players moving to Egypt.

Now, I'm not saying that a war wouldn't result in port loss, but he has held his original 3 ports by himself for a significant amount of game time (~200 days+). That isn't a short period of time.

If he switched nations, I'm willing to bet he could easily hold three of his 4 influence held ports without issue. He holds 655M influence, which is more than the remaining top 10 influence holders combined.

You and I good sir will have to agree to disagree on this. While I believe PHX would hold them for a bit. I don't think he would be able to for very long. He is well liked so this would add to him holding the ports longer. Take Valar when he recently took 2 ports from Bermuda. And had over 100 mil influence. He didn't last long on his own. (I may have had something to do with this). . But he also threatened the top 10 ship holders and the nation of Bermuda. Even if I didn't do what I did he would have fell eventually. (And his motives where never port control too)

I do very seldom talk about my gameplay but I do give you right in one thing - I wasn't interested in ports.

There may have been an offer of giving back the port for free that were not taken serious and thus the second port may have fallen on day 2 as a response.
