Re: Universe structure in general (will not affect r20)

Random galaxies would necessitate disabling the exile options. (Hmmm... I seem to be suggesting this rather often these days). And, of course, alliances are private by definition - although creating "default alliances" for new players may not be unworkable.

However, I think those ideas would result in everyone feeding off the weak.

Attacks against non-allied players would get no defence. Once they were all bashed into the ground the weaker alliances would follow.

With "really low etas" for alliance defence, attacks against strong alliances would almost always be defended - even more so than is the case at present.
