I was thinking that there might be a way to get Johnny some money without losing a lot of people.

There could be features (none that sway the balance of power) that would make playing easier, that you would pay for (gold account):

Autopilot for ships.
Unit formation for single commands for groups.
Auto movement of troops across personal land.
Upgraded map that locates your troops in the overview.

The feature to locate specific units and structures can be a paid feature. i'll drop 5 bucks for that

Yes.

Meaning a search function where you would type in a unit/base number and it would highlight or snap you right to it?

That's an interesting idea. Thanks! I'll definitely consider going this route instead.

More like selecting from the various Options already available but from a panel on the side allowing one to see every Base or Tank when the mouse hovers over the word.

Lets say i want to search for my a transport ship somewhere in the abyss of the ocean, i slide my mouse over to the panel, and have the hover over the word Transport Ship and it will immediately highlight all of them, then the same with tanks and constructions trucks and air bases, whatever. If i want to find a turret, i look for a turret among the highlighted turrets thus breaking it down to several locations where it could possibly reside. its rather basic, but it can be very useful. obviously you cant have one construction truck in two places, so it therefore goes down to know which area it was left in and then pinpointing it

I would like that with sectors... So if a friend need you to attack say 1265,231 then you could type that in and snap too it.

In my experience, especially as of late, sometimes people who you think are your friends may, in fact, not be what they seem. [/wink]

I think eventually this game will be reset, so why not give a paying option to save your nation from being reset? You could also sell ingame money for real money at like lets say, a 1 time only option per reset, with limited amounts being sold, so we don't have people with lots of real life money spending alot for a major advantage, just them paying for a minor advantage. Or sell in game money at limited amounts with a cap on it.

the game would be way too stacked.

I definitely don't want people to be able to buy advantages in this game in any way, shape, or form.

I also don't like the way every other multiplayer online game gives an advantage to people who can just sit and play all day long, which is why I made this a once-a-day cycle. I just wanted to remove the factors that skew other games so badly so that anyone can play it.

i have to say if johnny does reset it the game then that would suck, how's about u reset when this game has no more wars, yes thats the point their will be never be no wars thats the problem with ppl they have to expand, then they get greedy and then they get war hungry.

Thank you. Travian was great until you could start buying "Gold" to pay for rapid enhancements and shit. Then it turned into a goldfest, and it sucked.
