Announcement GENERAL UPDATE (190207)

Game won't load, stuck on loading screen

@stu ret kindly confirm it is working again or if you are still having problems. If reporting an issue make sure you leave your player name and game ID (if you have it)

thanks!

The reduction from 6 to 5 homeland cities is kind of disappointing

But necessary according to our observations Kalrakh. We continuously try new, never seen features as these with the flipside that we need to often adjust them down the road. This is inevitable if we want to continue serving you new and fresh ideas.

Hope you agree this is the better way, stagnation is boredom imho.

I am ok with every new scenario except weakening arties

It was great appeal for 5 city countries that you could determine your 6th city though.

agree with that, especially for small countries it is just.

Still dont understand the homeland feature as i dont get in the situation in loosing my homeland.

Lets say I have 7 Homeland Cities (Ital in 64 map). I lose 2 of them. Then i can not turn them back into homeland cities because my maximum is 5?

That seems...strange.I always thought about the homeland feature to increase your ressource production and to build new cites the buidl troops at strategic points...but as it is now...I dont see the reason for doing it.

As to arty: Nice of getting the same limit like cruisers. So this is even now of with Germanicos words: you screwded arty to make ships bearable again

So furthermore an advantage for countries like USA that have 10 homelands.

Would be great to level this disadvantage over all players and give everyone the advantage for 10 homeland cities.

by the way. I did not know what you ahve observed in your games...but i personally dont see many people spending this much money for nationalisation

Nationalization is free, and f you believe US or Russia are so favorable, then play them... effectively they are the opposite - due to their enourmous size.

Sure the balkan region is nice because it has many cities witihn a small space...but still homelands have potentially 100% resource production. mean i need 4 conquered cities to compensate.

Precisely that is the design idea
