Level 100 Home Cities

Post by purplesquid »

Could you make it so that all new home cities made in the patch are at least at level 100? One of the things that I was looking forward to doing with the new patch was playing India/China but I do not want to waste my time leveling up all the home cities. This would not only save myself time but I think it would provide the community with two tangible benefits:

[ol type="decimal"][li]Would decrease the ability for noob bashers to get inflated ranks (would not have the HC level delta in the calculations)[/li][li]Would provide lower level players with another reason to switch over to this patch[/li][/ol][div]
Is this is feasible to do from a technical standpoint? I think that this would be something that would make the fan patch better with very few downsides.[/div]

+1

Another thing you could do is to include the EXP mod in the FP, but just adjust XP values for shipments to compensate. This would make people level to 100+ whether they like it or not.

I kinda like levelling up home cities myself. Wouldn't want it to be automatic, but yeah I could see how people would like that. Gotta admit those first 14 levels with India without wood trickle were rough :p

Even if is not automatic at least make it an option. I have no interest in playing India without wood trickles and being forced to ship cards like 5 pet tigers :p

I agree that this should be implemented if it can be.

Yes, this is possible. Napoleonic Era also does this.

However, a major drawback is that smurfs can now smurf more easily, because they can make a new account and have a level 100 to start with.

We have thought about it and I think most of the team was not in favor of this idea, but we can discuss it again sometime.

Meanwhile, use XPMOD if you don't wanna level up.

We talked about it and for some reasons, the fp team didn't want to had this in the first version.
I can be added in a next update tho.

If the fp team truly wants a competitive environment then all home cities should start at level 100.

This might revive deathmatch a tiny bit. Nobody plays it because your homecities are lvl 10 Q.Q

If you already have 100 level with any European metropolis does not have to start at level 10 of an Asian civ. I should start right at the 100 also. Save time to level and release the necessary letters ..

This would be another good idea. If I have a level 100 European home city I should be able to get a level 100 asian civ. It works the other way. This is the best compromise I have heard. . .

IF you have lvl 100 euro civ you start with lvl 100 native civ and lvl 10 asian civ, if you have lvl 100 native civ you start with lvl 100 euro civ and lvl 10 asian civ and if you have lvl 100 asian civ you start with lvl 100 eurociv and lvl 100 native civ.

I know. What I am saying is that I think it should be 100 across the board and also apply to death match. Would love to try DM but not going to spend the time required for a game mode I might not even like. . .

Use xp mod :D

Xp mod is quite a hassle in that you have to find someone to do it with though.

That's basically my view. Also, I do not think that I am the only one in this boat. Having DM/Asian level 100 home cities will get some more people (especially lower levels) to switch over to the patch.
