[Question] What happens at the end of the game? I'm nearly at space age titan and would like to know where i go from there?

[Darkest.Knight]

I've always kept track of my ranking and GB lvls, both are progressing along. Recently it seems fights have gotten easier and I'm doing more so my ranking pts have increased quickly, passed 1G points recently and added an extra 10M w/o much effort. At 118 rank now and will catch 117 in a couple of days. Doing more fighting helps with both FP's and diamonds. I doubt they will be early to release next era so I'll be on repeat until then.

The problem of returning to a far previous age is fighting boost. I would be a bit ludicrous for me with 4500+ attack to be able to fight in Future. If the next age is limited to Space ages? (which it seems like it will) that that is not as big a deal. But still it will be tough on players actually in Mars to deal with Players with huge boosts from being in Titan. (let alone if it could go as low as Future, or even Iron age!). Plus just the difference in city size of pseudo Mars v real mars. It will need a lot of finesse to make it work

How would it be ludicrous, your 4500 attack would mean nothing now. You get 20 % att , the same amount of fights u would do in space age with 4500+ attack is the same amount of fights u would do in Iron age. If u are only allowed to use troops from iron

Are you thinking that he wouldn't be allowed to use his 4500 attack boost? Because if so, you're wrong. Your attack boost (and defense boost) are the same whatever age you're fighting in and whatever troops you're fighting with. The only difference in boosts would be if you used a boost bottle or if you had one or more of the newer buildings that give specific GE and GBG boosts. So if you're in SAT with 4500 attack boost and you fight in Iron Age GvG, you would still have that 4500 attack boost.

The game could end for all sooner than you think with the way its going. With the current direction of the game I am not bullish on its longevity unless significant changes are made!

I don't think you realize how big of a difference 4,500% attack boost would make in Iron Age. Particularly if you're retaining everything from your progress in Titan.

I know prior to the most recent changes in Guild Battlegrounds, there was a Iron Age player that posted a screenshot of using Turturrets to exceed the attrition cap in Iron Age. I forget what boost they had, but it would of been a fraction of that attack stat. Iron Age doesn't get many Expansions to work with and won't have any of the boosts Titan has

If everyone could easily and reliably take units from the Space Ages down to Iron Age.... those are going to greatly outperform Turturrets due to the x2 Keen Eye boost

I'm not against the concept of restarting. However, it would need some restrictions in place to make it viable in a multiplayer setting. There's no way to separate a Space > Iron player in Guild Battlegrounds from the rest of the playerbase. There wouldn't be enough players restarting to separate them. You also wouldn't be able to remove Space > Lower player from the neighborhoods without finding an additional 80 x 20 (1,600) players restarting on each world to do it with. So the only way to have a restarting mechanic is if those who restart are mixed in with those doing it for the first time.

You would need it balanced in a way that restarting isn't going to create too great of a power discrepency, but also retains enough advantage to make it entertaining for the player that's restarting

I agree with ebe, it'd make more sense to travel back and forth between the Space Ages than it would to choose any Age

You could do that for one GbG round if you started in iron aged up to indy or PE and then got far enough on the story quest for the higher age units. Would no doubt cost a good deal of diamonds because if you go too far on the continent map before Indy it messes up the possibility to get the higher age units. Besides that getting 4500% attack in iron age with as little space as there is available there is a bit farfetched at this point though the possible attack continues to go up with continuing power creep. Getting to the point to fight above attrition cap is on the outside edge of possibility perhaps now in indy/pe with the higher age units you can get but at best you are then stuck permanently in that age if you want to maintain that advantage. Exceeding attrition cap at other ages is not feasible except rarely when/if a player uses a bunch of black defense potions for attacking army and doing so is of limited utility since those boosts only last 30 min.
Having a way to use space age units in a very early age like iron age would be nonsensical and should not be allowed under any circumstance. Would be like giving some players 30k attack in a good age to fight in like FE or especially SAAB where you could fight forever even with attritoin cap. I do strongly support going back to attrition free but do it for all not a few. Getting hovers and tuterrets in indy/PE is already a good advantage and its paired with the disadvantage of having to stay in a particular age. Also, very few if any in PE can actually make it to exceed attrition cap without additional black boosts.

Only been hearing that for a couple of years.

Doesn't mean the game isn't headed that way. Also, conservative economic theory is nonsense and in any event you shouldn't be quoting it on your every post!

True, but it's certainly an indication that predictions of doom aren't usually informed nor accurate.

It's not "conservative". Paul Krugman, is that you?

Only time will tell if it turns out to be accurate or not
Not Paul Krugman but don't mind the comparison-he usually has some good analysis in the NYT

Now that's comedy! The guy who pronounced that the internet was a passing fad has nothing to say that could be called "good analysis".

Well with economists never making inaccurate predictions and all you must be correct lol
Probably time to veer at last back into game discussions too, don't you think lol

I need to talk about my sister's bunions.. They are killing her! Glad it is not my problem, but is is all she talks about. day in day out.
And how about those Packers....

Since we're on the subject:
Capitalism = work harder, smarter, better, get more $$$
Socialism = no matter what you do you get the same, everyone is poor.
For those who like socialism - feel free to move there: North Korea, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba. All are the same. Poor (except the politico's of course).

That is a highly partisan definition of both capitalism and socialism. It's way more involved than that simplistic talking point, but I can't go into why due to the Forum rules. Just know that it is incorrect and highly inflammatory.

no one wants to hear your politicized nonsense here

July 10th. So you probably still have another 6 months before Space Hub, assuming a 12 month schedule

12 months? That's fast. Don't they usually launch eras about every 2 years? I have never actually been in a position to enter a new era when it's launched so I'm probably way off on that estimation!

The Space Ages has been a year apart each time with last years being a few months delayed due to other features being worked on.

We don't know what the plan is and there's still Quantum Incursions to get ready for launch. It's certainly possible it may be later than normal, I'm just guessing based on past releases

 

[UBERhelp1]

We didn't get the first assets for Titan until mid-March, so even if they're targeting an exact year-apart release (which I don't think they are...), it's still earlier than we would expect to find out.

Is it possible to get OF units in IA? I thought the lowest age was Indy...
