Another idea for the next version...

[Water Dumple]

I suggest we move the troop counts down. Basically, instead of being able to get 100 Ordinary troops or 10 Specials a day, I suggest we get 10 Ordinaries or 1 Special. I think battles would be easier to envision and organize this way, and the number of casualties caused from Supers and machines might be a little more realistic. This will probably not end up affecting the way the game is played at all.

Edit: Okay, this isn't actually an idea, just a suggestion.

I agree, as it is only a cosmetic change, really.

I disagree. that would give hoctatians a 7,500 troop count max and wildlife 5,000 troops. In reality I think some battles have had that many CASUALTYS!

I dislike it, it makes it feel like you're not making as much progress, really.

Obviously, there would be fewer casualties. If they were the same, then this change would be chopping troop strength into a tenth; however, as Tinfoilman said, it's mostly more of a cosmetic change. Additionally, you're only thinking about the Wildlife Ordinaries. They would also have 500 Specials, which would mean that their total strength would be 10,000. No change there.

I know but What tin said is why we shouldn't. Try invisioning 5,000 of something. Try invisioning 50,000 of something. Bet you can't do either of the abouve. It's hard to visualize 100 of something. It wouldn't really help anything.

[Water Dumple]

Actually, I can envision 5,000 of something; especially considering the sizes that these bases sound like in the battles, 50,000 would be too much. Still, this is relative and the next version likely won't be here for a while, so...let's not get too deep into this.

[yoshimaster]

Really? I sure can't. I just don't think It really does much and would make no difference whatsoever.

You're correct, it doesn't do much; it's just a cosmetic change, as Tinfoilman said. Thus, it'll make things look nicer, in my opinion and clearly a few other folks', and that's it.

That's why I want to get rid of things like paying for projects and Hoco/Wildlife prices. All of that would make it simpler for new people and us to update.
