If it isn't listed on the rules page, then I didn't change it. There might be some incidental side-effects from changes, but no other intentional changes. So something like WMD rules ... they shouldn't have changed.

I am surprised - maybe you overlooked this. I was attacked by someone who's not even playing the Forward Base. What's the point -if a player can opt not to join in and continue with a game I thought has ended. Maybe I am a bit slow - but if that's the rule I think joining the Forward Base add-on extended game would be a waste of time.

Can we have an end my round button for those that wish to do so? Thanks.

I feel your pain KY, I have a guy who has nothing as far as a forward base going, and has nuked me already..lol Then there is another guy tearing through a couple guys in our cartel who as well have no forward base going? maybe nate can ban them from the round if they are just here to cause havoc to those of us who are attempting to try this round out. Its nonsense to sign on and toss everything at someone if ur not playing the round?

only military building will go to level 9 auto. I tried a stadium and had someone else try a palace so dont waste ur cash as I did

maybe there should be an auto prompt when we login that should say we need to build our forward base and then a spot randomly selected to build on. It would force a player to put his forward base down somewhere to enter into the FBS (forward base scenario).
I hope we have an end of round session to figure out what we like about the fbs. I like the potential of this but so far some odd quirks that limit it greatly...just my odd observation so far.

To add to this...the FB should be free, like the HQ is, seeing as everyone needs one to continue...and once your FB has been completely destroyed, you're out. Otherwise, a player could build the required FB and not care about it and continue pissing around like some are now. Some of those not playing the FBS could have previously built a FB, but have had it completely destroyed and not built a new one.

so wmds dont affect the forward bse anymore?

Opting out is easy ... just don't login The Hall of Fame has already been published and the round is officially over so if something about this forward base experiment is rubbing you the wrong way, then just don't play it.

The idea that you have to have a FB to play... hmm. I'm not sure. If someone isn't playing in the FA then they can't attack you in the FA. And how would we know the difference between a player that is trying to play in the FA but had their FB destroyed vs. someone that isn't trying to play. I don't think it would work to say once destroyed, you're out... it's way to easy to destroy a building with the eor army sizes.

I agree its not right to end someones rounds when there base is destroyed, however you cant destroy a entire base or even 1 building when u can only hit that structure 3 times and it was a level 9 when they put it on the ground. (thats if ur playing like the round is set up to be played) LAST MAN STANDING. But yes u still have multiple guys who are still allied up and crush ur base fast lol.I have a pm from a guy who stated he isnt playing he is just building troops then dropping a mb in FB so he can toss 10k rines at someone for his friends. thats what i cant stand, no differ from a nuke bot with nothing other than a silo and HQ.
That being said I like the Forward base, Id like to see it played next round again with no one knowing who no one was just to keep 10-12 guys from teaming up. Last Man standing round ranks as a +7 so far with a few tweeks that might can make it a 10 for next round

So what happens when your building is level 9? no fireworks?
come on, next time you do this, should be something special happen. just saying

I have to agree...and was very surprised to find someone had a level 9 Forward Base and that the "round" was still running.

Also, a couple other observations...I don't think we should be able to purchase or upgrade the Upgrade Card. Also, there should be some sort of rule that you have to make a minimum number of daily attacks. Otherwise, you could just lay low, stay off other player's radar, and quietly level yourself up for the win. If I hadn't messed up using my Upgrade card, I would have hit Level 9 about 3 hours from now following that exact plan.

As it was, somebody else hit level 9 before me anyway.
