Hello Lokamc, today I’ll be trying to prove why this rule is extremely necessary and why removing it will destroy continental conquest.

As of right now, it seems pointless to actually fight someone for continent capital. You can just get a few of your friends to make their own alliance and feed you strength the entire month to win. At the time I’m writing this post there are 8 alliances on Ascalon, so we can already guess what’s about to happen. No one will find conquest fun anymore, and no one will bring in new players to play Loka other than for Balak fights, which will be way too laggy for anyone to even enjoy. Balak fights might reach 300v300 or even more, so the server will become inactive when it comes to continental conquest.

I know the staff doesn’t have time to go through all the win trading (or strength feeding as Cryptite liked to call it), but it’s needed. At least put some restrictions on what’s allowed and what’s not, otherwise Loka will go into its second conquest dark age and nothing will happen.

What happened last month was just a small showcase of what’s going to happen in the next few months if this rule doesn’t get reverted. We’ll end up with mega alliances only fighting on Balak, which is exactly what we were afraid would happen.

So please revert this immediately. Bring the rule back or tweak it a bit so you just can’t win trade to win months.

next month will be very cheesy and evil without it

I can see why the asian vuln would be removed, but everything else should’ve just stayed the same.

I feel like that continent fights are gonna be dead. I don’t wanna restate exactly what Scotlxnd said but if you can just farm strength from friendly alliances, then theres really no reason to fight continents. It ruins the fun out of the game and if your losing you can easily just farm strength.

+1 completely agreed

 

[fa1c]

+1 give us our rightful win back too

 

[UghBraces]

+1 save loka

 

[ForrestNA]

The removal of this rule was completely unnecessary and can make win trading a viable option for victory which has been seen last month and made the month completely unfair.

 

[Click1x]

+1 bad change

 

[BIGSIZZLEE]

i want what ever ppl dont want -1

i feel like people might not have read the rule changes. Essentially what it did was make it so that if you're already in the lead, you get a lot less strength. This functionally makes win trading not really viable. So for Balak, it would mean that whoever is in the lead on Balak essentially gains nothing by farming one alliance.
However this doesn't prevent 2 alliances targeting one to make sure they don't win, but that really was never even against the rules.

Essentially the rules have already been tweaked so that:
Strength Feeding isn't viable. (because if someone is in the lead, they gain little, and lose lots similar to elo)
If two alliances are competing, one can still be targeted (always a thing)
The alliance that is competing that isn't being fed strength, has an easier time countering the winning alliance that is feeding strength because they gain more.

Edit: I think Continent defenses should be increased to 6, that way an alliance can't place 3, give them small strength and then the main alliance can only be placed on twice, not 3 times.

Crypt ran a number of strength calculations with the adjusted formula already on previous win trading situations. Everyone feels fairly confident that strength feeding will be ineffective enough to where it won't matter.

The new groove of conquest will probably be to send your enemies to 0 strength by disconnecting all their tiles. I think this will increase the frequency of conquest and keep everyone on their toes, prompting more strategy in the future. If it goes poorly, we'll always look into further adjustments.
