This is more a suggestion for a speedround or maybe even havoc.

Switch the targets from universe to galaxy only. You can only attack in-gal and maybe even only defend in-gal.

The galaxy setup:

- Buddy packs of about 4 people (1 for each race)
- 20-30 ppl in each galaxy
- Room for about 4 or 5 buddy packs in each galaxy and fill it up with random people

The way i propose it works:
You can decide if you want to be the king of the galaxy and roid everybody, work together with just your buddy pack and roid the rest of the galaxy, you could team up with other ppl in the gal and roid the rest, etc.

After you are done in the gal and feeling brave or are just being bashed by everyone else, exile yourself or exile your entire buddy pack (Offcourse you can exile other ppl if they get too big or small for your liking by working together with the rest of the gal) to try and find new targets in other galaxy's or create an opening in your own gal.
Maybe there should also be an option to exile an entire buddy pack, but i leave that decision to you.

The Buddy Packs will apear as the alliances so you can decide if you want to play for top ranks with your Buddy Pack, top planet or both.

So what do you think?

erm, in short no.

Speedround - What if you out grow your inactive galaxy. You then cant win the round as there is noone you can attack.
Havoc - The whole point of havoc is to get revenge on those who attacked you, so the people not in you gal

You exile.

Says who? I know I wasn't alone in using havoc to attack people in my alliance for a bit of a laugh. I can see people not liking the 'only attacking your gal' for havoc, but removing the ban on doing so can't do much harm.

It's not a bad concept, but I don't see it as being so different to abolishing galaxies completely, and there's a thread about this already

it would have to be at standard universe eta though or gals could gang up on each other, which may be a good idea, may not be though

well you obviously do.

Well the thought behind it was to have something different in a speedround, make it fun for the smaller teams or selfish guys

Also to be able to create a team in every galaxy you land. Great politics, backstabbing and plain fun. The game will be very fast because everything could happen. You could be the king of your galaxy and then the #1 of the universe exiles himself in your gal.

Goafer LX · 11 Apr 2005, 22:09

what rc mayhem said is true bout how havoc is for gettin your own back
but maybe this could be played as the second speegame... they usually have a few between rounds...
thats a fair compromise... it does sound uber fun

I think the CTF stuff aounds a lot better than this

Makhil · 12 Jun 2005, 01:49

yep CTF is better. But, for a normal round, allowing ingal attacks would be good fun and it could well... boost cooperation within the gal (read detterence). it would also make the political game more interesting and give more importance to the Ministers. Nothing like a good brawl to become real buddies (at least that's what hollywood movies have always shown

)

I dont think being able to attack in-gal would be beneficial. Remember back to the start of this round when everyone was in a gal with hostile planets. Those hostiles would just make your life hell, and maybe lean into you and roid/kill/steal your planet to nothing - without any external help.

not being able to attack in-gal makes encourages co-operation - as if you cant attack them, you might as well work with them to help eachother out. There would be none of that incentive for a gal that can attack itself.

Rocko · 12 Jun 2005, 09:14

In-gal co-operation is quite a big part of the game,... it's your last and sometimes best line for deffence (being able to get ships for fi+co incomming for example, that your alliance can't send). In gal attacks would just bring back the days of farming,....

As for this in havoc,.. it cuts down your choices and range for attacks,.. instead of giving you many options, it forces you to only have a few options of who to attack,..

Ultimate Newbie · 12 Jun 2005, 11:03

I think i'd be in favour of being able to attack your own gaalxy during havoc only - as at the end of the round i had this sudden urge to wipe out a Zik in my gal who had got fat solely from defending me with stealers (mostly) all round

.

but other than that, i cant say that i am a fan...

noah02 · 14 Jun 2005, 16:29

Hmmm I like the idea of attacking in galaxy during havoc because yes its havoc and I would love to launch my fleet at cypher or elviz

But to do this in a normal game or speedgame and actually just restrict it to attacking only in gal sounds daft.
But during this CTF(R) round I wouldnt mind the alliance page being turned off completly and not being able to defend outside galaxy because seems a bit daft tbh when CTF(R) is a sorta galaxy thing.
