Subject: Alliance Limits? Your Opinion?last

After playing through several worlds using alliance limits, I'm really liking it. However, I still think the limit is too high and the variety of alliances are still numbered.

My opinion is that for the next couple worlds, alliance limits should be set even lower. Q-map is currently set at five. I think that's too much, for future worlds of same size, the limit should be 3-4 instead.

Even N-map with seven as the limit is way too high. Maps of that size should be set at five.

Just my two pennies; wondering what everyone else think of it.

My reasoning;
1) I want to see more Alliance Leaders in this game, I feel I'm almost always one of the very few real leaders.
2) The increased number of alliances in a world allows lower-ranked players to have options of which alliance to join, also of newer players.
3) Who can argue with pretty colors lining up the Overview map? The more colors, the better. ;)
I agree. The maps I've played have quickly become two or three large alliances fighting each other, with a smattering of newbs and those slow to join being overrun. It can make for some climactic battles, but I'd like to see more alliances with 4-5 members.

but with larger alliances, it allows newer players to get into an alliance with the older players. I know that when I was just starting, I was incredibly grateful to get into an alliance on J- map.
I also agree.  Having more alliances fighting on a given map sounds complicated and FUN!
I would love to see a distance limit on alliances on a map. You can only ally with peoples you have 'discovered'.

I like the smaller alliances in general.

Crazy, do you mean a fog of war?  That would be wild!!  We could create a new "recon" ship perhaps?  It would also make pearl harbor size islands incredibly valuable.  It would open up the idea of alliance /alliance sharing intelligence... WILD!

Did you mean fog of war?..
Fog of war has been tried in forms that were really brutal previously. That is another discussion. I mean alliance limits by distance as well.

  My idea is that one can't join an alliance without being within 200 sectors of a current alliance member. Strengthening regional alliances over far flung friends.
