IT’S A DAMN COMMUNIST PLOT. Limit the success of each player and limit the failures too. These ridiculous limitations will greatly limit the success of this game.
Players are limited to only a few attacks a day. If they split up their attack they can only attack an enemy 2x in a 24hr clock.
If they use infantry they are limited to traveling very slowly. The closest attack with infantry takes 15 hours - 30 round trip. Really, troops should be able to ride on trucks and armor vehicles.
If you attack with only faster moving vehicles you are limited and capped with what you can loot. Many of your vehicles return empty.
If you attack with only trucks and air, your success is limited and your trucks may very well be wiped out by “invisible” hostile troops.
You are limited with who you can attack. You can’t attack inactive players lower or higher than you.... or even active players....
You are limited in your support of your alliance. You can’t attack alliance enemies because of travel times. You can literally spend WEEKS real time in ONE attack.
You are limited in supporting your alliance members and friends. You can’t support your alliance members with resources, gold, or troops and equipment.
You can’t trade items with your alliance members and if you try to give a gift to alliance members it costs GOLD....
You are limited and can’t play with friends. You can’t coordinate your attacks with friends - there are no raid formations.... Currently you can barely even talk to alliance members cuz they are only around for a few minutes before going off for other things. You are even limited to making real friends in this game. There will be no game members getting together for BBQ like other games, nor traveling to one city to party with each other, nor even calling each other on the phone. All actions that regularly happen in other MOGs.
You are limited.. Limited.. LIMITED..
Your fun is limited..
Your game play is limited..
You Are Limited....
Question: what can you do then??? Pay the developers real money to enhance your enjoyment of the game??? Hardly likely as there is a very LIMITED set of actions you can do in this game. Active players who are trying to achieve in the game are LIMITED with what they can do. Currently the best game strategy is to not use resources to protect your base, not to fight the enemy, not to play the game, to LIMIT your actions to building essentially useless buildings and technology.
Currently this game is nothing more than a SIMCITY. If people want to play SIMCITY they could play it for absolutely free @ http://simcity.ea.com/play/simcity_classic.php. Why pay money to play this game?? I am not sure if the game developers have a thoughtful plan for this game but it is currently very LIMITED. I urge the developers to PLEASE seriously REVAMP their thought processes and remove the LIMITATIONS on the game so that their game revenues are not severely Limited TOO.
