An idea to make TW bidding/reward better.

Totally different from the other thread(s) and not a complaint....

Defending. A good defense should be rewarded. As it stands now the if the attacking faction wins they get the territory. If the defender wins they get to keep it but gain nothing. They simply "maintain". They would get the territory coin if there was no battle.

My idea:

If the defender holds the territory they should recieve whatever the winning bid of the attacking faction was in addition to the 10 (or 20 or 30) million territory coin.

This way the succussful defenders actually gain something from fighting other than just "maintaining".

It would be better than just having the game "eat" the coin.

Thoughts? Ideas?

    I can't even imagine what the QQ would be like if this happened.


    Well, I can, and it would be pretty bad.


    Defending land is a pretty big part of TW, you get to keep your 10mil a week, and IMO that's good enough.


    Besides, this would make fake bidding easier.

    Have alt faction bid 200mil on your land.

    Roll alt faction in 5 minutes

    Keep the 200mil.

    Hmm...

    I see the point. I didn't consider dishonest bidding.

    Well then maybe a penalty for the attacking loser. The losing attacking faction can't bid to attack any of the winning faction's terriory for one week. That gives the succussful defenders something.

    Sure .. but in return if the defender loses then they shouldn't be able to defend any other lands they have the week after .. Sounds fair no ?

    Defenders get a 10mil+ " prize " for defending land. Nothing else is needed.

    I like how it is currently, to be honest. And as I see it, when we successfully defend our territory, we ARE getting rewarded - we still get to recieve that land's reward for another week.

    And the other faction that attacked us - they were defeated, and "punished" : they lost the money they used to bid against us.

    Didn't TW used to be like that? Winners recieved the bids and the weekly 10/20/30m? They changed it because of fake bidding.

    No, I don't believe it was.

    Attacking faction got their money back if they won the TW and lost it if they lost the TW. Defending faction, if they won, was rewarded by the rewards for owning the territory, nothing more.

    Defenders used to receive 90% of the bid from unsuccessful attacks. This was part of why fake bidding was rampant.
