It appears that the extra energy per 6 minutes is very popular, and people seem to be buying additional food to use with it.

This has created a situation where people can actually make money with any Q food, at least in my country.

So... why not make this a purchasable item that people can get, meaning they pay you, and then they'll turn around and have to pay those who make extra food, driving up demand? And where there's extra demand, people will buy gold in order to supply...

At least, that's the idea. Your mileage may vary.


To flesh this out, remember that you need to price things reasonably (you're not very good at this). So, maybe a monthly subscription for 10 extra energy per 6 minutes for 10 euro?

And then a quicky version that lasts 8 hours or something for a single euro.

You could even have different levels.

I assume the coding for this is pretty much done for the tournament reward, so, not seeing why this wouldn't be brilliant.

Also, for suggesting I should totally get gold kickbacks.

I think this would make this game even more a play-to-win game.

I think it's useful to buy houses which last forever and you can upgrade them etc.

Or you need to fulfill some missions or quests to upgrade it.

Or something like that...

 

That would be interesting.

Great idea.

supported.

You really shouldn't suggest these ideas, admins might even catch these and implement them.

 

No go, this game is already too much p2w

You do realize that having a good economy means that people will make money faster, as the paying players transfer their money to other players who are making food?

 

And so the non-paying players will make money faster and be able to invest in companies that actually give a return.

 

This game is designed to be more fun for paying players and to be pay-to-win.  Why fight it?  What's the worst that can happen to you?  You lose your country's land and you end up in a world community that is the richest nation.  Oh well, who cares, you can move there and run your companies, write your articles, and everything else you might want to do, or you can stay in the country that's conquered and run your companies, write your articles, and everything else you might want to do, and fight Resistance battles to try and re-emerge.

 

What boggles my mind is that you feel somehow that you can lose this game... as if someone else paying to win makes you lose.  That's pretty silly given the nature of the game, and I'd much rather have people paying it to stay open than it going away and failing.  Also, if they make enough money, maybe they'll come up with a change that will make the game better and be able to implement it.  I want to see that.
