I'm going to be setting up the weapons/armor/offense/defense of the Conquest game just like the soldier game.
Does that mean a reset? I've been working on some things in hopes of being able to do something and I don't want to waste my time if it's going to be reset.

Yeah, but the number of soldiers alone would set your offense and defensive numbers too high to be attacked anyways, so it would be pointless.
we would just get failure rates and be wiped. Better to just let you sit at the top and keep turtling, no one will be high enoguh for you to attack anyways, effectively removing you from the game.

uhhh....860k vs 220k? That is 1/4 of your strength, and thus, my point. you cannot even attack him. Like I said, just ignoring you at this point would, unfortunately, remove you from the game completely since you cannot even attack down.

They will drain your gold but will not flee if you don't have gold to give.
Unless you mean they don't generate gold like soldiers do.

I was hoping that when you spied on someone the spies would sneak some gold if they were otherwise successful, but they don't. Had to fire all my spies though so they wouldn't eat the gold I was going to make.
I now have 8 million gold, and should be making about 18 million a day until someone reduces my troop levels.
I'm having a hard time resisting the impulse to recruit though - I get 10k troops each time I recruit.
-Adam
Looks like Vycos and others have stopped adding troops. I was expecting them to hop up to my level and steal my gold.
It's too bad I can't arbitrarily fire troops....

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.
Can't wait to buy a whole bunch of New Weapons1

Wow Dave. Now that is a selection of weapons.

Also, steinman quit your complaining. You call for attacks, I attacked and got completely wiped out:
Your attack raid has succeeded and 19216 troops have been lost collecting 0 gold
HOW IS THAT A SUCCESS?!?

I'm torn on that. I've worked pretty hard to get the weapons/armor and training that I have. I guarantee you I'll be attacking more now. But even then, steinman is pretty untouchable.
Vycos appears to have a good deal of weapons and/or training. He might pose the only threat to steinman, but he's been too busy wiping out someone under him.

Perhaps just a troop wipe? If you do that, though, seems only fair to allow steinman to re-equip since he removed everything to allow people to attack him.

It's a total wipe or nothing, which is the issue.

Okay, so here's the deal. These are the changes I made and why.
1) Changed troop recruitment from 3 to 10. I did this because people grew WAY too fast and turtling was rampant. Right, Steiny?
2) Added a ton of new weapons/armor/offense/defense categories. I did this because I felt the choices were light.
3) Offensive stuff (weapons and troops) are 4x cheaper than Defensive stuff (armor and fortifications). I did this because I want this to be a bloodbath with as little turtling as possible. If nothing else, nobody can go less than 60 troops so even if people keep getting beaten down there's a chance they could break out.
4) Spies now have 0 upkeep. Buy as many as you want. They won't cost you extra. Because I lowered the amount of money you'll be getting this was necessary.
I think that's all I did but I got interrupted making this post so I'll go back in and take a look to make sure I didn't miss anything.
I just hope I didn't skew it too far so that it's not fun just getting pummeled on.

I put in a lot of time to build up too 
(since I was attacked a few times and lose a lot) I hate to lose it all. I don't even play Army anymore.
I will be one of the few not playing if there is a reset.

I would lower the number of turns to get money a little bit. Maybe to 6? This would encourage (and enable) people to get some armor and weapons despite not being able to get lots of troops to earn tons of cash.

Those who had more than 10,000 troops now find themselves at 10,000 even. Everyone that had a high fortifications and offensive army have found themselves at level 5 in each.
So I can do a soldier reset. I just have to go into the SQL and change the values.
Let's see how this evens out.
