Base design parameters and Medals (merged thread)

So if these have to be completed IN ORDER.... can someone place the outpost st the entrance of the channel and if it's destroyed going in, the attacker does not get stars? If so, something needs to change. The outpost does need to take a beating, but with creativity, I'm sure if this has to be done in order, you may see something like this.

To earn Medals, objectives must be completed in order.

• 1st Star: Destroying 50% of the player’s base.
• 2nd Star: Destroying the player’s Outpost.

Earning 2 Stars constitutes a victory.

• 3rd Star: Destroying 100% of the player’s base.

cant help but notice that nothing seems to have been mentioned about the rules for base layouts and yet i now cant go to the world map while i have illegal building placement

thats helpful but my op does overlap the adjacent tiles to the one under its core meaning it is within the 4 tiles from water rule but it still doesnt count!

a heads up that a base re-design would be needed post update would have been nice!!!

RW Miller · 29 Aug 2013, 5:01PM

base redesign is an ongoing thing everytime they change something you should adjust your base...looking forward to seeing alot of square bases gotta save them stupid medals now..lmao

John David Marr · 29 Aug 2013, 5:02PM

I think this is bull, My op is within 4 walls from the water. I know because it does get hit just not by everyone. Thats why i have a square base. Kixeye you guys are retarded. your business will fail soon and i hope all of you end up homeless because you have taken a cool game and made it all about money

Danfriday · 29 Aug 2013, 5:02PM

You have a square base, any argument you have is invalid.

you know after several hundred dollars in coins im just about to say enough is enough.

Added to the release notes. Essentially, the a building cannot be 4 Land Tiles away from water on all sides. Hope that clarifies things.

longnastysilver · 29 Aug 2013, 5:07PM

No more square bases! Well the noobs and wimps worried about alliance points all in trouble!

How does a company continue to make money when it tries so hard to deliberately go against what its consumers want?

They had square bases, that's not really a loss for anyone.

Ebenezer Scrooge · 29 Aug 2013, 5:10PM

forsaken defenses are inadequit to protect the outpost,

since this is your new rules and you are now making it easier for the coiners to destroy non coiners basess and outposts,

the inability to stop someone from entering your base and killing your outposts is why i made a round base.

i have dropped my alliance tag to reduce as much points as possible from the coiners who are gonna now be able to destroy every **** building in my base cause nothing can stop them.

steve-dave · 29 Aug 2013, 5:13PM

i know people dont like square bases but it was within the rules - not cheating just difficult - no narrow channels/diagonal chains etc. the trade off being that i cant really protect my dock so i have covered my op at the expense of my dock.

it just seems ridiculous that my op is actually partially on tiles that are the 4th tile from water and its illegal. why not just say - square bases are not allowed?

The Dude Abides · 29 Aug 2013, 5:14PM

LMAO, the new medal system will probably kill off all the smaller alliances in game, prepare for mass dis-bandings, I already disbanded mine.

Arma-Get-It-On · 29 Aug 2013, 5:14PM

Haha, people are quitting cause they no longer can rock the noobcube?!?

i DEMAND new turrets researchable that can STOP every **** fleet thats on the water,

change the **** rules back NOW or hear from me daily till it does.

Maybe work on a base guard? You will probably get more improvement that way than demanding that Kix change their game for you.

farginicehole · 29 Aug 2013, 5:18PM

People still build square bases? Even if you are over level 15? lol

Why? Because bases are going to be hit a bit more frequently? Sounds like your alliance was pretty awful if you're disbanding over that.

ker_splat99 · 29 Aug 2013, 5:20PM

the square base is dead with this new base requirement the cry baby high level players win because they can't get points from a square base. then alliance feature could die because of this as they simply don't get points from non alliance bases so players will drop alliances like many already do because a level 70+ player hitting a level 50 is as much of a challenge for them as it is to win a race against a snail while flying an SR71 Blackbird. As for the medal thing they can shove it many players do not hit bases hence they won't get the dumb medals and why should they have to change the way they play just because they prefer to play fleet vs fleet their fleets will be more suited to that style of play and not base hitting, good update kixeye watch yet more players leave the game and the revenues fall

Kalidor55 · 29 Aug 2013, 5:22PM

Would like some clarification about the WH,s. If you already had just 2 your fine. If you had 3 and want to go to 2 youre screwed wright ?

Correct. You can't go lower than 3.

archon96 · 29 Aug 2013, 5:24PM

I dont have all of the stuff to stop a level 65 rolling through my base. Which is what will happen. Guard fleet will take months to build. If they are going to do this then it needs to be five up and five down. At least let me try and defend against someone i might actually have a chance of stopping. And you call it noob cube well here another alternative with 1/2 off repair times i dont need to coin repairs anymore so ill just buy a perma bubble and you wont get nothing from my base.

BigBry · 29 Aug 2013, 5:24PM

Having a square base didn't guarantee safety anyway... If you weren't careful I could use siege morts to splash it dead anyway. But, in the end it was a cheap cop out... If you learn how to build a good base you won't have to worry about your OP OR your Dock getting hit

Ok i can live with that but then force the one that have 2 to go to 3.

Do what? Make it so you can't have a square base? You get farmed just as easily with a square as you would with a normal base, it just means that with a square base now I can get your res/dock without taking a second of repair.

Disbanded because we are low level approaching level 40, soon to be hammered by much higher level players on a daily basis. We were a small group who just wanted to use the chat and get some small bonus' but the bonus' never seemed to make any difference. Most of my friends have quit their alliances in the past few weeks and many refuse to join any because it's all pointless. By the way, my friends (not in my alliance) are all level 50+, two of em are level 60 and have no interest in alliances anymore. The drama, people telling you that you need to play more, play a certain way, demanding you get points every week or be kicked, told to defend bases if you are on, etc, etc. We simply want to play the game the way it was 2 years ago and have fun, it's a game, not a job.

What about people that already have square bases in place?

I think others have said that you can't leave base until you change your base, might be wrong about that though.

You can't leave your base until you move your OP
