I've been thinking about a lot of the new updates and I decided they're actually pretty sweet: here's why (and please read with an open mind) also mind you I'm not talking about the small weird updates like the removing of kd tags.

Firstly, the scoring. to win the era, you need to have your buildings on fant. now I've heard complaints that it's unfair, all you need to do is farm to win, etc. then there's also the fact that everyone on fant can get gangbanged. THEN there's the fact that unlike old fant, where all the good kd's would go and the best times would be had, the older players (who are left) and kd's are spread out over all the worlds.
that's the pessimistic view, now here's what I'm hoping will happen:
the fact that fant score is what matters is going to turn fantasia into the no-man's land/hotbed of all the worlds. it will be where all the kd's and players who want to earn respect will go to to prove their mettle; and it will also force the people that start on fant to be the best of the best. every era, no matter where you start the #1 goal will be to reach fantasia and the winner of the era will actually mean something again.
the world's connection obviously plays perfectly into this, and the fact that they don't open up at the same time -should- help new players, and when kd's get killed they can recruit from that pool. only problem is we need a better version of the 50% rule that actually protects people and also a good easy to understand guide more incorporated into the newbie world that I'm going to design/write tomorrow.

and that's all I have for now, I'm exhausted and have classes early tomorrow. more later.

YOU CAN TALK WITH ERAS  ? ;( omfg and i cant... bastard

or....the KD on Fant NAPs every KD that would threaten their power on Fant...and we finally realize how boring VU is getting...I agree with Augh...which is why I refuse to play.

^You will hear many people give the excuse that "It is a strategy game" to get out of the whole "It is a wargame" accusation...waste of breath to argue with people.

Look at least era and explain it...I can't.

Not that I am paying attention to care anymore :|  Why live in the past? Because people make habits of the past and keep doing them in the future.

the fant kingdom's can be the kd's that did best the previous era, then, if they suck and get killed quickly they'll restart and go for it again, if they stay alive, they'll get a lot better. it'll mean there's a faster shift in who wins each era, meaning there are going to be a lot more better players.

but maybe you guys don't want that :)

yeah, and now I'm getting to finally play on fant too :)

It's definitely something, but I wouldn't use the word sweet.

"Firstly, the scoring. to win the era, you need to have your buildings on fant."

Extra incentive for Fant kingdoms to NAP as many kingdoms on Fant (and other worlds) as possible to make the most of their home ground advantage (score-wise). Booting out the top kingdom requires that their Fant core/armies are destroyed. What motivation do they have risk their era win (via exploration) by engaging in counter-productive off world wars. Boredom?

"but maybe you guys don't want that :)"

If it means end to end eras of "lower maps" allying to gang bang the current "fantasia alliance" then no. I don't want that. What map your playing on should be completely irrelevant. You shouldn't need to migrate to Fantasia to be successful. Even more so with Zeta placing kingdoms.

Edit : need a better 50% rule? It needs to be removed...

Well I reckon they should put more kds on fant at the start like all the good kds maybe about the top 10 and then see how it works out because then there will be wars with pretty much everyone then we will see who is the best kd. Because noone has time to farm unless they mass nap.
