Re: Round Length

10 weeks.... 7 weeks makes no difference between players.. and god help you if u have to play again the games where u can't afford to be roided more than 2-3 times in whole round as it removes you out from race for good ranks, same goes to galaxies.. get roided by some small no-consecuence alliances at start and yer out of top5 galaxy fight... as your value is always dragging behind and making your galaxy nro 1 target unless your nap:ed to hell and back as round is too short for those fat days show up in end... not to mention how weak races at start can rise in longer rounds instead of being overshadowed by strong races with good players who just owned at start and got their major value edge while waiting for the day when they get roided and then taking it out to gain roids back asap.

The game currently isn't designed for short rounds.. for example gal sizes are way too big for longer rounds atm as value differences between gals is growing ridiculously due to nap's and simple fact of strenght of ingal fleets/race compositions.

Not to mention might change game more intresting in politics wise... as the short sighted speed game politics style of short rounds is just ridiculous. Thou have to admit politics haven't been that intresting this r, just been since I joined at week 2 or so as late sign ups 2 ways how the round can end.. and it still stands, rest are just play acting along while 2 alliances fighting for the win.

Just too predictable in long run is just boring as people haven't changed any of their tactics to fit longer round or just don't know how to adjust to it anymore.
