I would like some kind of option, in the squad menu or something. Where you have the option to give your wages to either the teams total resource pool, or another team mate. Since on occasions where your team has no refineries or your short on res. and the person with the most wages is not near the VF, he can donate however many of his wages he wishes to give to the team or a specific player. So you can either have vehicles or research.
donate to team would be really handy and make for some interesting strategies, especially in top level play ...
Do you understand how amazingly easy it is to get wages? Scenario. Two revive engineers. One suicides then gets revived twice, while the other does the same thing. Imagine that they can do this for 30 revives a minute. 600 resource from revives (20x30) 333 resource from entire squad getting bonus due to squad operations (20x10x5x1/3) Plus the bonus the commander gets for this So, in one minute, using TWO engineers, we have 1000 resource. Now do this with half the team being revive engineers. For half an hour. You could research every single item in the research tree and still have ridiculous amounts left over. You would NEVER need to expand. You could turtle for half an hour then stomp out with top tier heavy tanks. Noone would ever do anything in games but this. You would never see skirmishes over refineries or strategic locations, because there would be no need. The game would come down to which commander could click research first. I'm saying "nay" to this suggestion, but thanks for trying anyway.
so then we finally fix getting points for reviving suicides - why hasnt that happend long time ago anyway? its not the only way to exploit this. i dont get it, on one hand you are suggestion gameplay changes, but then you act like the exploits would be set in stone and couldnt be fixed. the skill-gap that is created by knowing exploits already is way too high. empires got more a game of knowledge then skill. i assume you are against this, because it would show that clearer ...
devourawr, we get that you grind wages all day erryday but this suggestion, which is good, and and has been suggested before, is not about getting 3 kills with a jeep to buy another one, it's about the government making you pay taxes(wages), and if you don't, he has a point to deport(ban) you. It's a good suggestion, I just don't want to have a comm, or a player that is not commanding that comms (like trickster/FN) constantly yelling to donate wages.
I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't threaten my entire team with a ban unless they donated all their wages to me.
Good idea, implement plox edit: snowball efect danger, initial phase of the game 1 dude kills entire squad squad gets 5 points for every member = 100 res, our assasin gets 100 too, you get 200 res insta.
Sharing wages with other players would be fine, but giving it to team resource sounds sooo exploitshitting, that it definietly fucks up the already fucked res system.
I need to adress you personally here. 1) Happy Birthday 2) I have never seen you play Empires and i'm on very frequently. Do you go under a different name?
