What about at the start of a round when everyone is under initial protection?
Aid in in protection?
I don't think initial pro kingdoms should be able to send. But recieve yes.
DougEfresh yes, I support this. Helps late joiners but doesn't effect round start.
Lord Thane I'm not sure if it's ok the power leveling, would be lucrative for multi accounts
TheKeeper it's just for receiving aid while in protection, not sending aid.
Lord Thane Hmmm, what about only for late-joiners and same-prov?
TheKeeper I think the late-joiners thing would already work on its own since sending to a new player in protection means they're at least like 5 days late in the round? Unless you want to only allow it for later in the round. Limiting to in-province could be good, but idk if it's even necessary - people are worried about things that haven't been a problem yet / multis.
TheKeeper why are we so hesitant to include things that make the game a little bit like what it was, with out affecting the game play style of any new concepts or directions it is a simple ask, you can’t send aid from inside IP if that hasn’t been implemented yet that solves basically all of the issues.
Xliest people are running multi kingdoms now. so thats doubtful
DougEfresh didn't see any sign of multi activity in my last check. Theres a handful of players in the same household, but no sus aid being sent.
Ya it’s not just about the aid though thane, I understand that it’s not easy to detect but it’s multiple coordinated efforts… again one of the things that the players are pretty good at susing out, not 100% obviously… just watch for patterns is all I’m saying
Xliest I was thinking of building a multi detector AI. Feed every bit of game info through it, it could detect a lot of those kind of nuanced situations. Maybe something to work on when things slow down.
Lord Thane ya don’t need to go hard in it there will a few probably but but as long as it’s not ruining the game right now we are safe I need to talk to you about your weapons system warranty though. lol but seriously 3x gnomes weapons needs to be a thing can’t survive on 1.2x
Xliest this
8 days later
Can we re-consider this… it seems like we have a pretty good multi detection and elimination system in place for rule breakers, you still would. Not be able to send aid out of initial protection, but getting an aid package from a friend or province mate when you are just starting out can be invaluable both in the social connections and gameplay aspect of the game…
