Unfunded Game to even it out

Yo All

I'm sure it has been requested before , but can you make just 1 server where  you can not buy extra resources and capacities , to make it a fair even game for all

it is soul destroying to play the game and someone who has loads of money can just go round bullying and ruining everyone else's game

lets see how good they really are without buying funds

id even pay an entrance fee for such a server , so you aren't running it for  nowt

Its a great game , but heavily funded players ruin it 

Long Live C+C, in all the various games there are

  • If a max RT of say 5 days was granted, or max RT of 10 days but only the highest offense can gain RT yes, otherwise base RT is not enough to play the game.  WCS already stops RT purchasing forcing proper RT management, CP caps are there to let you walk away for a day if you need to and not feel like you wasted a ton.  remove CP crates and RT crates, set RT and CP caps higher and I think you have a fun server - but it has to be pay to play with a significant sign up minimum or it would never be instituted. maybe someday the full source code will go open.

    Edit: i'll offer an edit to say if you think the best players are buying resource crates, you have no idea how good some players are.  The only crates purchased are CP to continue farming/digging depending on the server ruleset. 

  • Take a look at the PTE - it is unfunded and you get 1000cp limit and 4d12h rt after 2-3 days from the start of the world (not from when you start).  You also get rt crate regularly. It is expected to reset not long after the Easter break, probably end of April or start of May.  It can be reset at any time but usually lasts around 3-4 months between resets.  Experimental settings are used before they are rolled out to other worlds.   You get a badge for killing the fortress, but it's only visible on a PTE world. Packages such as crystal and power are kept from one reset to another but other progress isn't kept.

     

  • I'd like to see a change in progress in what a player could do during the PTE, like start from a ordinary world on reset with usual starting loot of 40 Tiberium and 10 RP. Its possible to scale quickly because of the CP, but power will be an issue unless players were given excess power packages or a permanent production multiplier boost in power like 2x or 3x compared to regular worlds. Could a morale and FA world be hosted there someday, I'd like to get my hands dirty on that and see the two world types properly interact, like Forgotten getting demoralized if they attack a player who's part of a large group of alliances or is weaker in comparison.

    There have been morale PTE's, Forgotten attack PTE'S as well as PTE's with both morale and Forgotten attacks.  We've also had worlds where multipliers were used for the bonuses as well as a world with no POI's and one with a lot less POI's to normal.  I don't know if multipliers can be applied to production of individual productions such as power or tiberium as this hasn't been tried.

    Many players hoard the packages towards the end of a world (when they've killed a fortress or it's been running for a long time) as they are not wiped on a reset.

    make multiple worlds or each one will look the same as the next, see firestorm 31? surely all the work the various development teams have done over the years wasnt so that these servers could culminate in a giant kumbaya session every time. how do you expect anyone to make a team or try to challenge whats left of us? if you made enough  servers at the same time it could potentially, i say that very lightly,  dilute the project exploiters and leave a server or 2 for the reggies to play in without mass cooperation dictating the outcome on every single server for the last decade.
