To the community,
I have read every single comment and the consesus has been a big negative to this Victory Point endgame. Now I have been around since the En server first opened with Alnwick, I have seen many changes to the plus side. Tribal Levels, faster recruitment, (and I mean in the beginning recruitment took forever) The balancing update was not for the bad of the game. Any remember that?
All changes have come and they have come slow but they come. We have been asking for a long time to come up with a way to end this game with battling instead of percentages.
Well now they are testing a way to end the game, and as I have read it is not complete but a start. So, I will go to the new Beta world and see. I have thought long and hard before answering this thread with a way to make this work to cover all the points we have brought up over the course of our game play.
I came up with this:
Victory points tweeked:
1. Each player gets a Victory point for being in a province for their tribe (2 or more villages)
2. IF one player owns a province on their own, the tribe gets 5 bonus Victory points.
3. IF more then one member of a tribe owns a province a 7 point bonus is applied to tribe ( to promote working together)
4. IF a barb is eaten in any province a one point deduction will be given for that province for each barb taken. (This will safeguard the barbs in a province.
*Note: In the case of a player quitting and turning into a barbarian; would it be considered a player village or a barbarian in the province ownership?
5. Each Kingdom will end at a different time.( WE have the boundaries already in place for provinces and Kingdoms this can use them)
When all provinces are owned in a certain Kingdom that kingdom will go into sudden death for Victory points.
6. Winning a Kingdom gets the Victor a decided Victory point Bonus I was thinking 50 to 100 points which they can not lose.
7. When all Kingdoms are won, the number of Kingdoms a tribe has wins them the world.
Now again, I am sure I have not covered everything, but you know having been on both sides of the fence in this, being a player and a worker for the game, like anything in life you attract more bees with honey then vinegar.
So I hope I am fighting for all of the veterans in being part of the solution rather then just signing off on the game completely.
