Greetings!

This game is a geopolitical simulator with all its upsides and downsides. It attracts likeminded people with option to satisfy your urge to kick the RL neighbor you do not like in the ass and show him who is the boss. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is not much more than that. And worst of all, it gets old rather quickly. For example, I am RL Latvian - my neighbors are Estonia, Sweden, Lithuania, Belarus and Russia. Attacking Estonia, Sweden or Lithuania almost always is out of question, due to our close RL relationships, so usually the first sights are going towards Belarus and Russia. It tends to be fun at first, but over long periods of time, it gets rather boring to do the same exact thing over and over again. Besides, over time, you tend to talk with your opponents, and after a while you become quite fond of them and dont really want to do the same crap again. So then the question becomes - what next? Attacking your RL friends makes you become very unpopular. And that is the moment when game becomes stale. How could we make the game more dynamic in that regard?

Currently, from mechanical standpoint, the goal of the game is to win Seasons Championship, which is lacking to say the least, since the formula heavily favors countries with very high amount of tanks and smaller populations, and it does not give any purpose, it just asks you to tank. My proposal is to tweak that thing while nerfing it. All countries should get something from it. It could represent some sort of country power, where number of regions, their upgrade level, player firepower etc would be taken into account. That ranking could be real time or refresh daily, giving some form of gold trickle(not too heavy, like it is now) and bonuses. Rankings could be done in brackets by 10, or each ranking position could give a little increase. But the main goal of the game should be alliance warfare. Similar to Seasons championship, there could be an event, where each alliance gets five(or ten?) randomly seeded Gold Bonuses, which would give random 100% bonus increase, since the region will be heavily targeted. The occurring event would take place over two weeks, in which alliances would aim to hold as many Gold Bonuses as possible, the one, which holds the most at the end, wins the event and gets some production increase for a short period of time. Of course some protection measures should be in place, so that artificial alliances for the sake of gaming the system does not get created. 

In my opinion, it would be a much better permanent event, requiring alliances to be active and work together. This event should increase competition among all nations, and it should give alliances something to work for/with. It would work especially well if implemented with my other suggestion packages I have prepared. On my upcoming articles I will discuss the changes(or nearly complete redesigns) I would like to see in country building, economy and military, so feel free to subscribe to not miss out(I am also going for my first MM medal).

Cheers!
