I agree with @Hekata regarding giving us time to plan for the FA. We always get a heads up about the events but of recent there has been little in the way of warning about the FA. Suddenly the giant padlock appears and thats us with a little less than 48 hrs to get organized. Come along Devs, you can do better than that. As has been said, this is a team event so time is needed to get everyone sorted out and to nuke our cities.

to nuke our cities.

To nuke, or not to nuke. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous game manipulation, or to take arms against a sea of FA zealots, and by thus opposing avoid them.

As we usually get notified about each Event with a Message then why not put a footnote on said Message which immediately precedes the next FA? This way we all get 30 days (the Event) plus a few extra days pre & post the Event as warning. Plenty of time to organise the troops.

I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but could a lack of advanced warning be seen as part of the challenge of it? I mean, who will decide to get ready early with no guarantee that it's happening? Or do you wait for the warning. It isn't like anyone gets an advantage over anyone else.

If memory serves, a few years ago there was literally no warning. We used to guess, based on Beta, but then there may have just been an in-game message saying that the FA starts in 2 days.

I remember a few years back, when your FS on beta was planning for a big FA push, and you used dozens of teleports because you were expecting an FA after an event (it was the time when we would always get FA after an event) and that one time they skipped FA. You vere really really... not happy

The FA is challenging enough with heaving to coordinate 25 players form different time zones and building a big shanty town takes a very long time. A 72h timer is the minimum we should get, preferably a week's notice.

Yeah you are right. And like I said, I was only playing devil's advocate.

Back then there was an FA every single month, so I remember taking exception to the fact that they didn't inform us that it wasn't happening at all.

In our Beta FS, HappyRose and I had been placed in charge of FAs and we had gone so far as to plan the whole thing, make a spreadsheet, give assignments and then even start all the 2 day and 1 day productions.

Then it was a case of - Oh, the FA didn't start today, maybe it will be tomorrow. Then not tomorrow. And all the while they never gave us that info.

At the same time, though, people always made their own decisions whether to pre-plan or not. I recall some people telling me that it was my own fault.

Anyway, be that as it may, they do now always give three days (I think) notice, with an official countdown timer, so people don't need to be caught out with shanty towns built and productions started.

And I do understand your point, of course, it was just a subject for discussion.

Plenty of time to organise the troops.

It would also give me more time to run and hide.

It's the badge numbers that have increased. No analysis yet.

I hope you are feeling better @Lelanya.

Any news on the badge numbers required for Map-3 ?

Sorry. I just found your post from November 2024 that shows badges for Version I.

I'm guessing the numbers haven't changed.
