In practice what happened was as players got wiped they left the game and the numbers reduced quickly. In order to encourage late starts and re-starts, those players where put in a new protected ocean for a period - but they still couldn't compete and when the new ocean opened they were gobbled.


The same thing is happening on world 1. I'm in Ocean 51, and anyone who has colonized and doesn't have a super awesome defense, or isn't in a huge top 10 or 20 alliance, has already been taken over by DIGG or FOIMP in my area.

While I used to be surrounded by other Ocean 51 late starters like myself, I am now surrounded by DIGG and FOIMP, and i'm getting spied on like 3 times a week as they look for more easy prey to take over.

Yeah sure they keep their main, but no one wants to rebuild after taking months to get 3 islands only to have them taken away by a 200LWS fleet coming to their island. And yes, I realize it's their fault for having 100 Spearfighters as defence when they colonize, but it's still the same principle. I'll never be as strong as most Ocean 1 people, i'm building men at the same pace they are, and they have more islands.
o51 superpower imo.

For the most part If you have 1000-2000 spears and about 250-400 lws on your islands you will most likely not get attacked for a long time. For most people I believe they will not realy go for an island with more then 1k spears unless they are war hungry or they dont care how many lws and cats they lose in the procces.

IMHO w1 has reached critical mass, the big hitters now have such a huge resource base they can colo virtualy at will.

Finding unnamed isles to plunder is a 12 hour + trip from O14 these days and at least one gets coloed every day while my fleets are en route

With no new oceans being opened its going to come down to a grand Alliance face off when all the independants and small alliance have been cleaned up...

W2 will be much more fun
