The Admin through his official newspaper yesterday (on 10 March) announced that the eDominators can finish the Armed Combat 20 times/day. This decision was followed by limiting the unlimited AC to 5, and after a huge debate on the official eDominations chat.

Lots of suggestions, critics and also good words about the changes, for limiting the AC to 5 times was the highlight of the chat the previous several days.

In a statement given by Admin for ‘Novinky’ before midnight (CEST/GMT+1) on 9 March (when the AC was limited to 5x), he said that the limitation of Armed Combat “came as an update which will balance the game and allow citizens to compete with a maximum of renewal per day”.

“Yesterday we made a shout considering to raise the limit to 20 renewals daily and have also added a refresh times counter in Armed Combat to help you track your daily progress”, Admin said to ‘Novinky’.

And this shout, got a ton of comments.

“Much better”, player ‘DIJOCHLO’ wrote. “Superrr”, ‘DobroDe’ briefly added.

‘Secret Melody’ added “20 is better than 5”, suggesting that “Maybe something in the middle would be perfect… not 5… not 20… what about 10..? Limited but not that much”.

Lot of them, suggested that the game needs more events and missions. Therefore, Grandpa said “put events every 3 days”, ‘tazotazoee’ obviously excited wrote “new eventssssssssssss”. ‘DIJOCHLO’ and ‘Secret Melody’ also cheered for new events.

According to the Admin, each update they make is based on statistics according to the community.

“Sometimes extra tweaks are required to find the sweet spot for each change”, he said.

Asked by ‘Novinky’ if this change is related to the version 2 of eDominations, he rejected that claim, saying that ‘version 2 is under construction’.

“Our current eDominations game required some balance to ensure the fairness and stability in the game play experience”, Admin added.

But as for the initial changes to limit the AC to 5 times, not everything is so black and white. The move by the Admin was cheered by the player ‘Valuk’ who said “No, keep it 5”.

In the meantime, the changes of limiting the AC to 5 times, were “actually great”, for ‘casadeli’ with whom we talked earlier. He also published an longer opinion in his newspaper, a day after.

“The negativity about the AC limit comes from players with aspirations of having unlimited tanking abilities by cheating. The amount of money one can sink in the game got limited, yet there is no limit for reaping free benefits. Paying customers got handicapped, and account automation became the META strategy - a bad combo”, ‘casadeli’ said to ‘Novinky’.

He adds that it is important to balance things out, and limit the time the game consumes, especially, as he says “in such boring and repetitive thing like AC”, since the game has aspirations of growing it’s player base.

“When someone reaps benefits 24 hours a day, it is a matter of time when everyone else follows, because otherwise they can’t compete. Rough comparison would be if players who kept the game open for 24 hours would get 24-50x more strength than the player, who keeps the tab open for 30-60 minutes. Second thing, of course is the overproduction problem”, he adds.

Unfortunately, he adds that this problem can’t be solved on the battlefield, because, how he says, one player can produce enough for 10 players.

“There must be other avenues where to put resources in. Traditional supply/demand economics unfortunately do not work in these games, especially when ton of artificial work tokens are added in. I will need to scale down my production as well, but I dont think its bad for the game, so I am ok with that”, he says to ‘Novinky’.

‘Casadeli’ adds that the game is lacking in many aspects.

“Does AC limit solve them? No. But it is definitely big step in the right direction, but it must be followed by vast improvements in V2 of the game”, casadeli concludes the statement.

Version 2 is being worked on, Admin wrote in the last article published yesterday (10 March), adding “with more teasers of it coming in the foreseeable future”.

“We are looking forward to Your reaction to these changes and hope to see you on the battlefields”, he added.

The newest thing about the AC will be the counter, so the players could track their progression.

Five ACs a day is not enough. Thats not how 50% of the weekly event can be done. 67 ACs are needed to complete the weekly event. I just give this as an example. My proposal is for a weekly limit within reasonable limits. For example 105 (average 15 per day) or 140 (average 20 per day). Let the players have the freedom to choose when and where to do AC.

At the end, admin created uproar, but he didnt made necessary limitations. I guess he didnt wanna antagonize players before v2. Disappointing change.
