The idea is pretty self-explanatory. After last round I think it might be an idea to get rid of mercenaries and have a player-driven economy instead, because it makes for more interesting diplomatic and economic relations with other empires. Plus, with the random events Shadow's working on I  you could occasionally encounter mercenaries when running turns.

eg. "you are approached by a band of mercenaries and traders, offering to sell you food or be employed as troops."

Maybe a few changes would have to be made to the market if mercenaries was removed, such as troops entering the market slightly quicker then they do now, maybe 4hours compared to 6hours. Thoughts?

I'm shocked nobody made a thread about this, though I guess you 'Merikans don't really care. :P Did anybody else here, British or not, watch any of the celebrations? I watched some of the concert, but only really Lang Lang, Ed Sheeran, Madness and Paul McCartney (who was the best). I didn't really watch the boat thing, but my brother did.

What happened to his account? :o

I once knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy, that's uncle lived in Dilton.

Fact

Obviously the categories have changed a bit with the new version, but here they are:

Best player: Cloud, easily. Not sure what exactly he was doing, but he did it well.
Worst player: Ryu, for his constant trash talk, thoroughly average indying and newb killing.
Best indier: Volk seemed good. Alazar was also decent, I guess.
Worst indier: People who sucked, so most of them.
Best farmer/casher: Me, seeing as I made more per run then VTN's indies did?
Worst farmer/casher: dunno
Best newcomer: Crowfeather (Ian, I believe?) but then again, everybody was kind of a newb :D
Most annoying: Sevz
Best clan:  None
Worst clan: V.T.N
Biggest surprise: People helping sevz, which is pretty much tantamount to trying to help break the game
Biggest disappointment: See above
Biggest talker: Sevz/snare/Alazar
Best hair doo: Me
Worst hair doo: Me

I know this was brought up right since beta testing began, but I still think it's a small issue that could use resolving. At the moment land farm can be maxed, but attacks can't be opened, which means at times it's pretty useless as a land source. Would it be possible to clan landfarm, or make it unmaxable or something?

Sharp quick look at this I'm not going to the study to tell you.

I can see you're lurking, post boi.

Same as usual, fill in the below categories.

Best player: Probably Sevz or pip, though nobody else was stunning considering my weeks worth of runs would've netted me 4th had I not been targeted so much at the end. Peace also probably deserves a shout for his passive play.  :)
Worst player: Ryu, for his constant trash talk, thoroughly average indying and newb killing.
Best leaderer: As I said probs Sevz or Pippin, though Volk was pretty solid and rakefur was good considering he's still quite new.
Worst leaderer: Most?
Best indier: The only one I saw was Ryu, and he didn't do anything that impressive
Worst indier: See above
Best farmer/casher: Unfortunately I didn't really see any farmer/cashers
Worst farmer/casher: See above
Best newcomer: Preussen and Rakey
Most annoying: Ryu
Best clan:  Order
Worst clan: W.A.R (though mostly newbs)
Biggest surprise: Low finishes
Biggest disappointment: Low finishes
Biggest talker: Ryu
Best hair doo: Me
Worst hair doo: Me

Right, see Sevz is on 200k land.

But he only has 2 attacks left. Why?

I don't think sevz ordered this himself, but it is unfair that he should benefit because some newer players do not understand the rules.

How goes things? Any attacks lately? Remember, the only good bug troll is a dead one.

And can we hang these RSL members? Terrorists and all that.

Just to clarify, the admin awards are admin decided and definitive (ie. a clear winner) where as the turbo awards are player chosen and has no definitive winner, just peoples personal choices. These also have more categories. Before anybody asks what the difference is. :P

All in all quite a good round, just a shame the teams weren't a bit more balanced.

Best player: Me for filling multiple roles and destroying and producing a ton of net in a short time.  :P
Worst player: n/a
Best leaderer: White Fang, made a huge amount of food. Sevz also was good, but then again he had tax and had the benefit of being unclanned, meaning he was hit to ratio by people scraping land
Worst leaderer: Everybody who didn't raise their shields
Best indier: Me or Ryu
Worst indier: Most of them?
Best farmer/casher: Unfortunately I didn't really see any farmer/cashers
Worst farmer/casher: See above
Best newcomer: Ryu and most of army's newcomers (paticularly Preussen) performed well
Most annoying: Vulpes repeated (failed) onlines and Ryu repeatedly taking my cities and trying to kill me (managed to get me once)
Best clan:  Corsair were most organized, Army produced the most net overall. Trident were good when Krowdon became active and white fang signed up again
Worst clan: Woodlander, but to be fair, their only really active member was pip.
Biggest surprise: The relatively low finishing scores
Biggest disappointment: The multiple kills?
Biggest talker: Dunno, probably Rakefur.
Best hair doo: Me

First, read this thread:

http://www.redwallwarlords.com/forums/index.php?topic=13970.msg275757;boardseen#new

Any achievements you suggest here could eventually end up as part of the game, assuming this feature is eventually developed. Try to keep titles pg-13 (ie. no swears, censored or no) and the rewards minimum. (ps. injokes would be great)

Here are some uninventive suggestion from me:

Dibbun no more
Leave protection- 25mil cash reward

Specialist
Have 90% or more of your buildings in one structure type. -5bil cash reward

Happy pony raiser
Use turns five times without attacking once. -500million food reward

Loyalist
Stay active for fifty days -10bil cash reward

Warrior Cat Enthusiast
Use Wildcat's pressgang spell 500 times -6mil net in any troop type of choice as a reward

Team player
Join, or create, a clan -500 land

Champion Skiff Racer
Win 5 skiffs races -2.5bil cash

Scouter
Scout in over 15,000 acres -1500 acres reward

[Dibbun no more]

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but achievements are pretty "hip" at the moment on web-based games (or any games, really) and it could be a good way to encourage people to try different things.

I'd suggest it would work best on reg, simply because it would be frustrating losing all your achievements each round, plus the slower turn rate would make it take far longer to achieve some of the said things.

There could be a few minimal rewards for completing things, as well as shiny badges. A few possible examples below

I'm sure other people can think of more inventive achievements and titles.

They'd mainly be aimed at newbies, and I think would be a relatively simple (if gimmicky) way to encourage people to keep playing, and to try different things, even a good way to encourage figuring out strategies (putting 90% buildings in one structure). Any different opinions? I think it would appeal to a lot of people and can't see many downsides as long as the rewards are kept small enough to only really benefit smaller empires. It would also reward players who stick around in the long run.

Why not suggest your own achievements? View the below link.
