Re: NPC Kingdoms
I just repopulated the NPC kingdoms, good luck everyone!
My doom has come upon me; let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter.

Re: NPC Kingdoms
Good thing Kaz didn't listen to me.
I told him to put 50 in.
Shred, under 500 doesn't mean you automatically die. We made a change almost two years ago that allowed a kingdom to drop to under 500 acres of land and still live. I remember being 460 or so once or twice in the past. But if you think its a bug, post it in the bug thread, you don't need to mention it in every active thread.

Re: NPC Kingdoms
Question about NPC kingdoms and then being reborn.
As I see it, we have two options.
1.) We set a script to go off every 5 mins, randomly (eg 1 in 3) set ambushes, sheild etc
and also randomly (eg 1 in 15) bring NPC's out of death.
2.) We move the button that you have currently been provided into the game with a random element attached. When you click to bring new NPC's back to life, it may instead restore the sheilds etc of the living NPC's
In fact, we do have a third option too.
3.) Both of them

Re: NPC Kingdoms
In order to not confuse the new players, I'm inclined to say put it on a script to run randomly.

Re: NPC Kingdoms
I like option 2

Re: NPC Kingdoms
I like option 1. I have to agree that it would be less confusing for new players. Maybe instead of having it run every 5 min maybe have it run randomly between 5 and 15 min. That way we don't know when its going to happen.

Re: NPC Kingdoms
Lets leave it out of the hands of players, for now.
It will be easy enough to schedule a cron job that can run at certain times and that should be more then enough.

i am just going by what kaz said, he plainly said if you are out of turns or below 500 acres you should be able to delete, guess what the thread it was posted in, My thread was deleted, big surprise....

Re: NPC Kingdoms
I don't think there's been any thread but one deleted since the boards were created.
The one being the "Welcome to your PHPBB3 Forum!!" which is the default thread.

Re: NPC Kingdoms
Someone made a 2mil acres kingdom with 0 defense.
This seems to me to be a little bit of a problem with the NPC system and needs some changes
its just a little ridiculous because whoever finds it is automatically in first with no effort.

Re: NPC Kingdoms
Sorry was really drunk when i posted that and somehow attacked and did whatever last night 
But i think that 54mil NW 2mil kingdom with 0 defenses is a little too much
give it defense at least. I'm not sure how it pulls from the NPC created kingdoms, but maybe worth just killing that one out of the system 
Also i think i said this before but not sure where... at some point would be nice to take NPCs off the Score page. They are polluting (most corpses )

Re: NPC Kingdoms

Re: NPC Kingdoms
Yes but you like it and i like it.. but what about the Angies?
They don't get the chance for 2.8mil free land
It needs to go... NPCs shouldnt have so much land for so easy...give it defense maybe.. but i think a 200k land NPC limit would be best.
If i had saved up another 10k turns... i could try to get more so out of reach.
Already have over 60k temples and maxed out troops for my 5mil acres
even that isnt enough for your 2.8mil acres droben
