    I think it would be nice if I could actually "compete" against the "big" guys:D so I'm all for restarting as soon as possible:D

    I don't like the idea of going back to 4 nations at all.

    The Stompers didn't dominate, they only had 4 players above everyone else. Fox laid down a roadblock and with some help from Hawx created the lead. It was basically one person, splitting up the Stompers doesn't fix that.

    It'd be one thing if the Stompers had like 10 active players and accomplished this because of that but it's not, the Stompers won because of good strategy not domination. I don't think their are enough active players to support 4 nations, Gold Beasts already only had 2 all season and it was not fun at all.

    Well when you put it this way, you really got a good point against the 4 nations, in fact, now it sounds better to have just 2 instead xD

    oh and, joe, if you compete with the big guys and become one of them, we'll have to change your nickname to big joe :p

    The idea of only 2 is intriguing (for the number of active players we have), I think it was talked about before but the idea of having that other nation to team up with has proven more appealing. I don't know if it'd improve competition at all but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been tried before.

    No matter how many nations, once any nation is left with a noticable advantage in gold-earning power for long enough, the season is effectively over. The amount of time needed for that to be permanent depends on the number of nations, and actually decreases as the number of nations decreases. When someone appears on top, everyone else has to work fast, otherwise the power gap increases and the chance to overturn decreases.

    I doubt we have the people for four nations. Three is probably going to be the best plan. If we were to change the nations and still keep it at 3, it could be said that perhaps a rebel faction of steelskulls left the stompers and took over the smallest nation when the season ends.

    Well the first passage of pure's post is why I was for 4 nations in the first place, before Aaddron pointed out that we don't have the manpower for that right now xD

    So I'm going to have to completely agree with the second passage, though that will mean that either Ironheads or Gold beasts will be going down, and if that's the case, new steelskulls should probably get the bonuses the nation it took over has, cause if I remember correctly, steelskull bonuses and stomper bonuses are nearly identical

    It all depends on who gets behind what:). I have seen active forum members be inactive in Ogre Wars and vice versa. I think it has a lot to do with how it starts. Unfortunately, a big inclination is for the trailing nations to lose heart and give up which leads to all the inactive talk that everybody knows I just love lol. Others who might not feel a part of the team or think their private forum is not active enough etc.

    All that said, the two nation season sounds inviting for a change:). Think we can have more fun with that actually. Every attack will mean more and people will be less spread out.

    It was womper/stomper bonuses that were nearly identical, considering the need for a balanced nation far more than just a second defensive one like the steelskulls were (being just slightly different from ironheads as they were). Stompers being 10/20/15/5 as compared to the womper 10/15/15/10.

    Perhaps that might be a good thing to do :)
    In the meantime will the 60% limit for attacks be removed so I can stomp someone or do I just get to see how much weapons I can get till the season ends? :p

    Either end it now (as huge majority of voters said already) or let it play out for a few more days but remove the caps for attacking villages. Either way, change it from what it is now, as now it's a complete procession!

    Let's shoot for changing seasons this week sometime.

    Ok, the attack cap is now gone and the Revenge Time is 0. Not currently seeing an option to keep one person from constantly attacking another.

    Ok, good. However before next season starts, rules for it need to be determined, and by rules I mean, these questions should be answered

    How many nations? Which ones? Which bonuses do they have?
    Revenge time - yes or no, and if yes, how much time?
    Troop cap?
    Attack cap, 60% as Season 5, less, more?

    Ok, let's start working on those then:). You can have polls for each or however you want to do it.
