how to solve: ally nations not in africa and asia, but in north america that'd help

or get regions

no way you're saying that floritania is weaker than canada.

if this really is such an issue to you, i recommend trying to take america or north atlantic to prevent rome from attending your sieges rather than making a ticket complaining about it.

Cope, but thats exactly the point of soi
Control regions, get more power.

If you remove the power of region soi's you completely make them useless, since the money income from them can be replaced by other incomes

ALSO you had epf and oe members townhopping too

I agree with what you say as in with SoI and regions, there's this chance of a nation in another continent helping a regional nation in a team up against a smaller nation, summed to townhoppers, and this will probably be a cycle of fighting over who gets those regions, but please note canada, greenland, weren't the ones to first get people townhopping to their towns and actively make a siegebase on another nation.

guys dont get angry, its a cope suggestion

if the outcome this week was different, would've we seen this suggestion?

Thats my point

Regions point is to gain power by owning them. Taking this option makes them useless

I don't think region SoI bonuses should be completely removed because that would ruin new uses to regions and remove some incentive to capture them. But I think one way of fixing this would be making you require SoI to attack and participate in siege regions. I don't think the SoI for attacking and participating in naval regions should come from forts though, but instead maybe a way to set some type of main port towntypes which could be changed once a month. Each nation could have 1-3 main ports (this could also depend on residents with 50 residents for each main port, capping at 3 main ports) which would give 3-4k naval SoI. I think another issue is nations being allowed to participate in sieges once their SoI from regions is gone which could be fixed by making a nation leave the siege once the region no longer belongs to them. Imo the democracy bonuses also shouldn't apply to regions but it isn't the main issue at hand.

What balanced the server before was one side could attack someone but then that former neutral weaker nation could join the other side and be protected, now one side which regions cannot be contested against is not interrupted by this. It makes defending as a non region side impossible, the weak got weaker and the strong got stronger. Weak nations have to fight international coalitions of players, whereas before the field was fair on both sides to fight sieges. Regions already give basically free money and resources I don’t think they should have to give soi.

Meow right now there is almost no road to naval recovery for coalition as you know, all our naval guys don’t play or and stupid and got banned, it doesn’t make sense to essentially give one side a critical advantage for many months they already get so much free money from regions. Staff expect me to throw away 40-50 ships a week on a region only for soi that way too much

This update made naval combat 100% more useful as well as actually caring for regions, tbh it was sort of pointless to have a region unless you really wanted all dat money which does prove useful i guess.

Haz region theaters are incredibly good. Currently naval is incredible one sided towards allience. It makes an update to make conflict and alliences regional more pointless because they are still global sieges just whoever doesn’t own the region gets dogpiled on

Raptor then build a navy. This entire suggestion is pure copium.

so true ashes

Ashes I have

Ashes I don’t got enough people to train someone to only do naval and nothing else, I need to grind and my people need to focus sieges, naval already can determine sieges if you all were smart about it

Raptor every nation has to deal with this.

Don't make your nation's inability to recruit and train everyone's problem.

Our movecrafters have to do a bunch of other stuff too. Half of them are our main grinders and attend sieges and are on doing other things all week.

Again, this is an extremely biased and one-sided suggestion that is entire based on and benefitting you because of your own shortcomings.

And soi giving region bonus could it not also be one sided toward you? It’s not making conflict regional, the weak have to fight alone and the strong fight in their ig group, the intention was to make conflict and alliences regional but there is nobody to ally

Grinding isn’t hard, what is hard is doing most of the grinding for a nation then being expected to raise a fleet to go fight a battle that cannot be won

Your argument is still irrelevant. You have repeatedly admitted that it is based on your side's own inferiority and that is not the server's problem, that's yours. An update like this was worked on and tested long before the Alliance dominated naval regions.

Just because we're winning now doesn't mean the entire server's mechanics should bend to your whim because of a failure on your part to create strong bonds with other nations or a resilient navy.

Gang the server change was made at a time when coa legit cannot do shit for naval regions, all our guys are banned or hate ccnet. This isn’t bending the server for us the server was made and it favors you all so you are defending it tooth and nail. A lot of players find naval extremely boring to play, ashes I can’t even remember the last siege you went to if you want to have a call here you should come to a siege and fight seeing the incredible outnumbering of one side due to extra continental Allie’s being able to come into somewhere but there being one nation defending itself

Ashes quote exactly you do not come to sieges to see the lengths we have to go to to fight such an unfair fight of numbers. If I can’t bring in my Allies ever then neither should they. The soi should be based in hard influenced areas aka areas you have a fort in
