King of Crowns Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) so spain gained 3 ports from Russia today. which is weird since everyone on the server knows they have formal RVR alliances. OFC this puts spain in #1 giving them 3 marks per person. what do you think the chances are of spain agreeing to give Russia victory marks in exchange for the ports to get first place. Russia ofc had no chance winning this week so it didn't hurt them at all. Solution to the problem. top 3 nations get 1 vic mark regardless of the position on the leader board. OFC the other option is to ban all the Russians and Spanish for exploiting. p.s. if this is acceptable behavior then the entire for the meta is broken. and instead of it being about who has the best fleets it becomes who can make the best deals and swap the most ports.

Raekur Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Deals such as Span+Russia is not that much different from what the pirates were complaining about on PVP2 with the US+GB alliance and the standstill it caused for the pirates. The pirates could cause significant damage to either but not when faced against both. So now everybody and their mother is shoved onto a single server and we once again have to contend with nation+nation agreements and the tactics it presents. Swapping ports between the allied nations, hiding fleets in battle prior to a port battle, and screening for each other. You have 2 options as I see it. Either stop playing or start setting up your own alliances to level the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Rainsborough Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Raekur there's a difference between an alliance teaming up against someone and constantly flipping ports to game the system.

Anolytic Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Port trading has always been legal. There is no obligation to show up to port battles.

Region trading is a historically possible and plausible feature The meta is broken, yeah, victory marks for conquest leaderboard only was a bad idea. But that is a separate issue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Abandoning ports, so they can get captured by other nations" is no verdict, because that means the other nations didnt took the opportunity to take that abandoned port. You didnt abandon those ports. On 9.1.2018 at 4:09 PM, admin said: This makes port trading across several rounds possible BUTIts only possible with the complete inaction of other nations. Enemy abandons 10 ports - do not sit on your ass or on the forum. Do something. If they abandon them for the enemy- take them for yourself, set the timers, ask the americans to help etc etc etc. If you would have really abandoned them, the other nations would have time to take those ports from maintenance on. This isnt the case here. Edited January 15, 2018 by Abram Svensson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
