Re: good idea It's a decent idea and I partially support it. When it comes to smaller scale EE wars I prefer Anarchy and friends' Bounty Hunter idea. It is plausible, original, reasonable, checked for abuse (although no system is exactly abuse-free), and detailed. There are minor flaws (only if I'm nitpicking) to their proposed system. You can't help but marvel at the workmanship in the OP's design.
Purpose is: 1: Money Pit when buying pots, mith, enchants, etc 2: Grind (different than money pit) 3: People spend real money for xstals 4: People complain there's no war.
This would easily be exploited by an OSF vs player situation, like a mith war or pwar. Even in the situation where the OSF is picked randomly, you will still have the situation where a hansel will drop his troop building if he gets paid for it. So easy to exploit.
Already suggested a 1v1 estoc battle mode like this ages ago and val out forward a bounty idea. You like either idea put the support in one place for devs to see it all in one place
