Tiberian 40 is a small world without forgotten attacks and a high degree of malus/moral/willingness. The level of malus is extremely high for such a small world. None of the alliances are able to advance at a reasonable rate. Currently alliances are moving about 5 fields towards center before running into bases that have 50% malus or higher, forcing them to have to stop and farm down malus for an extended period of time, and then dig forward another 5 fields. It’s an unreasonable rate of movement towards center due to such a high level of malus on such a small world where the Forgotten Base levels rapidly increase towards center. At the rate we're going, an alliance won't reach center for another 5 months (assuming there’s no pvp). Classic servers should have some malus, but if it’s too high players spend too much time farming and get bored. We estimate we’re spending 3 times the normal amount of farming on a regular classic server.We kindly request a reduction in malus/moral so there is a more reasonable rate of movement towards center, and a good balance between farming and digging.

Its true we are practically stationary. There is little or no need to fund as we cant dig bases out anyway. Go on turn it down a bit and let us go to the center.

Yes, please reduce the malus. Guys are getting bored with all the farming we have to do just to move a few fields forward, or else blow two day's worth of CP and RT to kill just one base with higher malus. We're almost at base 4 and every alliance on the server is still stuck in the outermost ring on the map.

I agree with all these comments, never spent so much time in digging toward center and with no pvp on this world as far as I can see, there will soon be no interest in going on here...

Hi, with such a high malus, digging is impossible and this server need some changes, more ressources on ops and camps or lower malus (easy to do in a previous server the malus had been up ^^)farming is boring and with even malus on camps and ops its really shitty !!

I think the morale is just fine. Adjust strategy. There are a few strategies that if modified will help with this world.

weeks into the server and we still havent made any progress due to the extreme malus, think of the people that started late, they dont stand a chance. I will be withdrawing my funding from this server as I feel this is an excessive rule to draw the time out and collect more money

I loved playing this game, but the life is being sucked out of it. For the love of god, make it enjoyable again.

Please reduce the Malus

T38 had a morale of +6. T40 has a morale of +4. Both worlds are same size. If morale is 1% of world size then it makes sense. If not, then morale seems to be set based on what the developers want it set at.

Hello Commanders,

we read your feedback. I'm just a little confused why only now so many players have trouble with the Malus worlds and not with the last one, Tiberian 38. Because both a basically the same configuration, in size and morale.

That can't be ... we played t38 aswell with the same team and there wasn't the same malus. It was lower ...
We were able to dig straight through the forgotten , some of us without or with very little farming.... so it was 100% a lower malus world.

And that's why we brought your attention to t40 cause we played / play both worlds.

An in comparison from the earlier worlds? Or just compared to the last Morale active world?
I'll see how quick we can get a change online.

Both ... but mainly from the fresh experience t38 to t40 .... there was almost no time between the two worlds for us o my like 1,5 weeks or so ... that's why it is in our mind how "easy" the digging through forgotten bases on t38 was compared to how "difficult " it is on t40.

But also on all previous worlds we played we had lower malus and like I wrote we only play classic with morale and without forgotten attacks.

I don't know which is the correct malus value, but we and most players I know have the most fun with the malus we had on t38 or t26 or t36 or w8 or w14 or w21 (okay w21 was to low due to a bug and was changed later to a higher value)

If you can change it and lower it to a "normal" value our team and many more players which like this set up more the others will appreciate it very much.

Really appreciate @EE_Elephterion responding so quickly to this thread!

And the level of malus on Tib 40 may be perfectly fine on a larger 30,000 player server. We're not saying you should never have this kind of malus again. But because it’s a smaller world, the level on forgotten bases increases rapidly and that stalls progression when combined with the higher malus. Hence all the farming. Guys who play classic servers obviously like some farming, but there should be a good, fun balance with digging too.

To respond to gamerdruid’s point, there are players from multiple alliances who are posting in this thread. All major alliances on Tib 40 are aware of it. Based on feedback we’ve gotten, some players feel like it’s a waste of time to post in the forum and that nothing will change. So that may help explain why there isn't an equal number of players from all alliances responding yet (although thread is also only 2 days old).

Thanks again for considering our request and taking the time to reply.

dude they totaly launch worlds without malius if you do not like the malius , like me id rather shoot my self . just do not play them.well i guess unlessyou just like to have something to talk about in forum. i get that. i am bored alot too

You just don't have a clue about what we are talking here. We post in the forum to talk and discuss a topic with the developer ... that's why there is a forum.
We all know the different kind of worlds and so we also now there are no malus with no FA worlds.
But instead of this senseless post you should have read all other posts and you would be aware that we and most others from t40 like the set up no FA but with morale very much and never had problems with it over 8-10 worlds.
So better don't post about things you don't understand or at least do a post which helps to solve the problem.

I understand you don't like the level of malus - a lot of others have posted similar sentiments - but why quote from an old announcement?

Exactly what I tried to understand too ...
