Total War/All-Out War. Another Aries idea

Fully explain your own scenario and your own math.

My last post was brief as I only had access to my phone but I have spent too much of my prior post simply trying to clarify your "scenario". To be taken seriously now, you must detail your scenario that you believe would be a good example of abuse. Your gold coin math above is a cluster of confusion that needs clarified, as well. And yes, only premium members would be able to earn gold coins from Total War same as only premium members earn ranking awards, game level awards, and war level awards.

"Such a feature as you suggest could increase the activity level in one world, at the expense of decreasing it in others as players moved to a particular world. "

What? Why?

"Using the current gold amount under discussion, 80 gold coins each works out to just under the 90 coins per 12 dollars. So paying 4 dollars to make almost three times the amount received per player."

4 dollars is a monthly figure. The 80 coins in the example is not. Again, start over. Provide a scenario of what you define as abuse. Be detailed as I will ask questions of your scenario if anything, at all, is unclear.

"That comes from 3 countries in the participating pool. Raise it higher, and the ratio gets even worse. "

What?

"You have stated there are risks in involved. i.e. that you could be declared on. What safeguards are there in place to ensure that you are?"

There is always two sides and a week notice to allow additional participants. Again, Need your worry scenario to further explain why you believe there should be further adjustment here.

" if a country that lists itself for Total War, and is part of an empire, how does that work out? Will defensive airwings and stealth bombers still respond to attacks, if they are within range? "

Of course. War mechanics are not different, though I assume you mean that these countries are fedded together, empire or no. Add details to your example of this if it is not clear.

"Is a country allowed to join a federation after the Total War is listed as available, or actually joined?"

Of course.

"Can a country be deleted at any point in the process?"

I don't believe countries can be deleted now if there is a declared war. This should not be allowed Total War or run-of-the-mill war.

We seem to have wandered far afield. I'd like to move onto other areas of the same suggestion.

The game tends to go to lengths protecting newer players. Will there be strongly worded language in the pop-up and the link to total war on the war page? Something along the lines of "this is irrevocable and may lead to the loss of your country for no reward".?

Can a player join on both sides of the total war? While putting both countries up for risk, that could lead to a situation where a player is attacking his own country(ies).

If an outside player takes out a participating country, he does not get the country. Does that affect the potential reward for participants?

Will there be a minimum or maximum number of participants? Either per side or total? Whether in gold coins, or actual number of participants?

One more.

For purposes of the awards, the populations should be counted at the time of Total/All-Out war declarations.

Will population transfers out of the country be blocked?

"Will there be strongly worded language in the pop-up and the link to total war on the war page? Something along the lines of "this is irrevocable and may lead to the loss of your country for no reward".?"

Sure. Why not?

"Can a player join on both sides of the total war? While putting both countries up for risk, that could lead to a situation where a player is attacking his own country(ies). "

No

"If an outside player takes out a participating country, he does not get the country. Does that affect the potential reward for participants? "

Correct and No.

"Will there be a minimum or maximum number of participants? Either per side or total? Whether in gold coins, or actual number of participants? "

No

"For purposes of the awards, the populations should be counted at the time of Total/All-Out war declarations. "

The answer to this one is included in the original post.

"Will population transfers out of the country be blocked? "

This is normal for declared war and would be no different.
