Quote from Luky

Knowing that you might lose something during your attacks, I reckon many people would be more careful about how they move… and this could encourage new players to join, even those who aren’t part of an organised group

Losing crew would make far more sense than being rewarded with points while playing the defensive side.

That will also force your attacker into spending points, so losing them in some sense, because if they lost a battle and their crew got weaker, they will have to spend their points and rebuild the crew.

Fairness of the piracy and its practical reality (as in how people actually win) is a different subject.

Your proposal would not really fix that. You will still be a non-significant factor to those who farm points off their friends or whatever, their crews will still be hard to beat.

The problem with your concept IMO is that it offensively rewards someone who is defensive and that should not be the case.

You win if you initiate aka attack and that is the only way it makes sense.

That would be equivalent to saying if someone launches a pillage mission against you and lose, you should loot their resources, even though they are in their warehouses and you did not visit their cities.

Prize of a successful attack are capture points.

Prize of a successful defense is retention of those points.

Those who initiate and those who sit back should not be entitled to same reward.

Hello everyone, I play as UMBRA in game and my account ended up on STYX server after the last merger. I have played Ikariam since 2009 and I pretty much know and understand the game very well from both town development and combat perspective.

I hate playing on my own and I am looking for alliance to join. I have dropped some messages around but I so far have not heard back from more than just a few people.

Are there any alliances out there that would take me in?

Feel free to comment here and ask anything you would like to know or drop me a PM.
