Forums / Questions and Answers / GvE Map Side Change

Cause we are evil and do what we want. 

We breeding. Pengy squeezed wilbernub out his ass.

What !! Im already heading there !

Thats why im headed there. You be good boys and sit and wait. I be right over.

Fair point, I didnt think about it that way.

Good gets a direct path to some Free Mines,
but Evil gets a direct path to some Free Armories!

When you put it that way it honestly seems a lot better.

If we knew the map would be expanding throughout the era I am sure we would have had much different strats and even landed with differetn races.

Kingdoms in GvE Qua
	Good	21	Mr. Good Guy	100
	Evil	23	Lord Herman Webster Mudgett	68

It introduces 3 new vulnerabilities to Good that a slight tweak would reduce down to only 1... given that this is the first time a map has changed mid-era, I would like to ask ZeTa to reduce the amount of expansion (preferably undo it entirely) to remove pathing across the new areas to preserve original spatial integrity 

Zeta gets whipped, does what i say... mwhahahahaha .. now shut up already.

Shut up, none of you are worthy. While zeta getting whipped, he does what we say. Expand more zeta.

Regarding the map: We're all in agreement that it's odd/messes with the era to have it expanded mid era *without prior knowledge*. THAT SAID we should treat it as if it were a test of a new mechanic- Anyone remember how cool connected worlds were for a bit?
If we knew it were coming this sort of thing could actually be pretty neat.

Regarding the draft: It's still 48%/52% in terms of KD population: very even. It wouldn't have felt right to assign the newest player to Good IMO (we should still try to keep the KD populations relatively even but assigning the new person to Evil was correct IMO)

Evil should have at least +2 players more cause of the deal horus made himself, taking in aloy and we where getting other players. but we dont. and i dont care even. this map getting us all screwed for the 2nd time. OOP and now map expansion. 

The real tragedy this era is that people are losing cities to 100k unit Gaia armies and fielding armies with like 3k MU nearly ten days into the era.

Did ZeTa add a lobotomy spell to the game?

Okay if that is the way the world evolves then let it be, it changes the dynamic but good will adapt :)

I have zero problem with a dynamically expanding map, I actually would love to have that be a feature on a world! As mentioned above, gives the feel of the old connected worlds I really miss. But the whole doing it mid-era with no knowledge is kindve a crappy move from all perspectives. Least take us out to dinner before you screw us :P

@ Matthis So many assumptions on your end not going to even try to respond because you’re probably troll baiting. (For example you imply there is no magic on our end when I have been casting on your orcs non stop). 

Zeta also added himself to the kd to do testing. He can shoot dragons out of his penis so dont make me unleash him on you

The strategy of planting yourself right in the middle of an enemy core is and always will be one of the most effectively strategies in VU.

It's extremely effective OOP and it's extremely effective when you have AOTD/etc. It's just a good strategy overall.


If ANY player/race plants themselves into an enemy core then they force every single player around them to train troops in every single city around them to match the threat.

It's extremely disproportional.

That's a winning strategy.

Big spooky Orc builds 2k building city between the 10 mines in your KD's core pre-OOP and it's a winning strategy for the Orc every single time no matter what your Kingdom does and no matter what the Orc does.

Orc trained a lot? Very winning trade.
Orc trained a little? Also a winning trade.
Orc trained ZERO units? Still a winning trade!

Orcs are the *only* race in the game who can do this kind of very-low-risk/low commitment yet very-high-reward strategy and it's because of Gaia's defensive utility/day 1 OOP surprise power.

Building in an enemy core is still a winning strategy if anyone other than an Elf does it but it's a very high risk/high commitment strategy for everyone else (as it should be)


An Orc who comes OOP with around 30,000-50,000 Gaia on top of any of your KD's cities is spooky

Why are you putting a terrible guide in the complain about map change thread?

Yeah seems when I spawned the size got bigger as I spawned right on the edge of the map.
