lol, they should try that on Johari. When i left last night vanu had one continent (back door) had pushed TR and NC back to their sanctuary warpgates on ishundar and hossin (i believe) While coming close to taking 2 other continents. The funny part is the vanu are outnumbered....

So if any of you TR and NC people feel like doing something useful, come help out your empires on Johari. Trust me, they really need it.

This is what i was afraid of when i heard of CR5. It's also why i think they should take it off, nobody should be able to say stuff to everybody in empire except the GMs. If they don't remove it at least make it so it takes like 400+ caps to go from CR4 to 5.

I know I am restating things... but....

-lvl5---
I think that brodcast to everyone in a cont at lvl5 is good enough, world is not needed.....

Also, most of the orginization you can do is just with your own outfit anyway, so I actually dont see any reason why you need more than cont brodcast, if even that. (just glad there is that ignore use

)
and actually, I see no good reasons (besides the see all enemies) to become a commander other than just to become a commander

It needs to do something for you, not just let people spam the chats

-alliance---

If this alliance was just dealing with outfit commanders, I could see it working well enough, esp if they hit diff conts at the same time... but the way it is now just wont work very well.... I am going to try and see how it goes, but I am sure that it will end up in a horrid mess....

Semi-Related question I haven't had time to check yet: If a faction (Say, TR) lock two continents that are linked by a warpgate, does it lock to them-only?

Well looks like I am going to a party tonight so wont be around to see the mayhem of the HART drop. Someone please post the results of that here.

Shub · 2003-05-01, 05:28 PM

So ZProtoss is why VS had Esamir all but locked last night. GJ. Really. We don't need to win, except on one continent. The one that 45,000 people HART drop on to.

When this game gets going, 300 people will be practically nothing, but for one base? Thats ridiculous.

Harps · 2003-05-01, 05:51 PM

like every1 else is saying .. why does a commander need the world chat it wont make anything else orgainized .. i say the best thing for a command should get (chat wise) would be sanct and cont chat to commanders only like some1 said ealier thats the point of chain of command

vawlk · 2003-05-01, 07:21 PM

This is what it should be:

CR10 - Private chat channel with all CR10s on world
CR8 - Broadcast chat to all Squad Leaders on continent
CR6 - Private chat channel with all CR6s on continent
CR4 - Broadcast chat to all Squad Leaders in SOI
CR2 - Private chat channel will all CR2s in SOI

The odd level can be the stuff. Waypoints, battleplans, etc...

BUT NEVER should there be a ALL PLAYERS broadcast.

Let the top commanders talk amongst themselves then have each commander tell their troops what to do.

And to really make things neat, they should allow squad leaders to be a member of another squad, but only if they have a lesser CR ranking. Sort of like platoons, but bigger.

A CR10 has 4 CR8s under him. Those 4 CR8s each have 4 CR6s..and so on.

Feign · 2003-05-01, 07:40 PM

It only goes up to CR6...

Hamma · 2003-05-01, 07:51 PM

Actually, 5

Delirare · 2003-05-01, 07:52 PM

5 is correct, stop feeding the n00bs false information.

Re: CR broadcast -> Squad comms, not everyone!

Umm... That would be "teh suck". AFAIK if you are alone you do not count as a 'squad leader', so all those LFS people who would LOVE to get your CR5 "GET TO HERE NOW" order would NOT get it.

My suggestion:
'Reinforcements Required' waypoints, available to CRs 4 and 5. These would appear at the commanders location on the global map. These would act as artifical hotspots for the purpose of instant action, but would be 'weighted' to bring in larger amounts of people - a CR5 request would count as 10-20 hotspots for purposes of random deployment, a CR4 request would count as 5 hotspots. These would fade automatically after 15 minutes, or when the commander turns it off by himself. RRWPs would only be useable every 15 minutes.
When a commander requests reinforcements, all people on the continent and in the sanctuary recieve the message "Commander (name) needs reinforcements on (continent)!"
This means that those not gearing up to head out or somewhat nearby would not get the message, at least not directly, but it would still give some control over your masses.
UNfortunatly, this would provide no 'grand strategic' control, only summon more bodies to help win whatever fight you're in at the moment. Would be a less extreme summons than what sounds to be happening now, tho.
