I would vote for different force limits for different levels of beacon

I assume your suggestions would be for level 5 beacons?

Lower level Fortresses are given better protection, so why not Beacons too?

agree with this if the force limit is lower on level  1, 2, & 3 beacons it will provide time for the league to get defense there if they intend to keep a beacon ... it never used to be too much of an issue but now that we have to defend our forts we cannot just recall large amounts of defense from our fort to defend a beacon 

fortresses were the reason the beacon game died in the first place this should have been considered when forts were put into the game perhaps then more players would have stuck it out and there would have been more activity for both forts and beacons - it got to the point where you made a choice of one or the other unless you were in a massively coining league

I agree with both previous posts. Maybe exclude level 1 beacons having a force limit, then start at level 2 beacon and have different force limits ending at 250K at a level 5 beacon.

Hello, Lords and Ladies!

Last time we were observing more and more suggestions from players to implement the force limit for Beacon single attacks. Our Dev Team is currently considering this idea but before the implementing of limits, we would like to hear thoughts from all our community. So there are a few options for you to choose.

2. Limit 100k Offense per 1 attack;

Which limit would be perfect for you? Let us know in the comments!

I think this should count as 237 Votes for 100k limit -  http://prntscr.com/ly1wnn

but do you actually mean 100k Offense, or do you mean 100k Food Consumption

Most players would agree that the old food limit has long been obsolete, but changes to this can wait until next year   

First we have to define terms:

Force Limit shown on the lower right when attacking a fortress, or Offensive strength shown on the lower Left. The design team's lead posting is not clear as it refers to both Force Limit and an Offense strength amount.  For consistency sake, I assume all figures they posted represent Force Limits as also applied to fortress attacks.

I assume the goal is to allow leagues to preserve fortresses while also restoring the old Level 5 beacon map that existed before the current Level 1 beacon wasteland was created by 3-castle hammer crews. So the question becomes, having been in leagues ranking from the top 100, top 50 and top 10, what would allow leagues to realistically defend their fortress and one or more level 5 beacons?

A top 10 league could defend a level 20 fortress and 5 level 5 beacons if the force limit was set at 100K per attack at a level 5 beacon

Thus lower level beacons would be set at 80 / 60 / 40 / (no limit) Force Limits for Level 4 / 3/ /2 / 1 beacons. (We need unrestricted fighting at level 1 beacons for various game reasons)

This same standard would likely allow a top 50 league to defend a level 12 fortress and one level 5 beacon.

A top 100 league might be able to have a level 8 fortress and struggle to defend one level 5 beacon.

I recommend not approaching the issue as that of setting an attack force limit, but imagining a goal, and then finding the attack force limit that makes that goal or image of a future territorial map possible. Including the number and size of the leagues we want to be able to participate in having some territory / beacons on the map.

When I think about how much defense various leagues will be willing to pull out of their fortresses to invest in beacon defense, and the 3-castle hammers that are still out there, a 100K Force Limit as defined in fortress attacks seems like it would produce the results we are looking for.

So, Option 2, 100K Force Limit for Level 5 Beacons

Plus an 80K Force Limit for Level 4 Beacons

A 60K Force Limit for Level 3 Beacons

A 40K Force Limit for Level 2 Beacons

No limit on Level 1 Beacons, or some other solution to prevent the top leagues from capturing all of the Level 1 beacons. This also allows the use of Level 1 beacons for League Achievement points involving killing units at beacons and fighting over newly created Level 1 beacons.

I agree with most of the comments. I would opt for attack limits based on the levels of the beacons (20/50/100/150/250 calculating the percentage of defense increased to 25% for beacons liv.5). but I do not impose a territory limit. the extent of the territory is directly proportional to how much territory an alloy can defend or monitor.

greetings to all

Trinity has good idea

The question is:

1. No need to implement the limit;

2. Limit 100k Offense per 1 attack;

3. Limit 150k Offense per 1 attack;

4. Limit 200k Offense per 1 attack;

5. Limit 250k Offense per 1 attack;

6. Limit 300k Offense per 1 attack;

7. Limit 500k Offense per 1 attack.


No one asking for your life story

My answer is: 7. Limit 500k Force limit per 1 attack.

Does anybody actually know what they are voting for here???

500k Force Limit is the SAME as a Level 20 Fortress

This is MUCH too high for any Beacon
