100 Player Games - Issue with Morale

I would disagree with you there, I think this is a pretty good mechanic, it limits the number of people you should be fighting at any one time. What you really should do is try and get treaties with the people you aren't actively fighting, just to buy both of you some breathing space.

Then is the mechanic intended for 7 countries to hip hop killing 1 country while 1 country defending itself is penalized for defending itself from the 7 attackers? If a country refuses or is absent from the game your stuck in war. If you haven't had a battle with each other for 8 days it should revert back to peace. For some of those people it's 4 days travel to them, which is half way around the world. I am just saying, if its one coalition against another coalition, it should be counted as 1 war not 7.

If you send a peace offer to the inactives, in under 3 days without fighting they revert to a peace status.

Send it as a trade or set my status to them?

Status.

I have a problem with the world map, the same as mallahanjr, sort of

Im playing as Kazajistán, i conquer some players as they atacked allies and expanded over to Communist China , Burma and south India, and i notice that my morale doesn´t even pass the 60% at my border with China and the other countrys i just mention

Another problem, caused by that morale issue is that my grain production is dropping quickly, as the countrys i conquer consume more grain than that i can produce, because of that -75% penalty 60% of my grain production is harvest in my main provinces, i already build industrial complex lvl 5 and lvl 3 infraestructure in my grain provinces and now i find that i can´t produce more

i have at the moment 256 provinces, i think tomorrow i will increase it to 280 and is gonna drop even more, all of that thanks to one think

DISTANCE TO CAPITAL, i got a penalty of -20 moral because of the distance, and as i say earlier i can´t move my capital, since 60% of my production is thanks to my main provinces, even my provinces moral is dropping quickly, don´t know why

all of that with 1 active war, now i have 4 and my army can´t grow bigger since they consume grain daily

i got a question, i read that distance to capital is messure by air, do i need to investigate the air branch to reduce the distance?, i personally don´t think i can conquer the rest of asia, thanks to all of that

Morale should slide with success. Perhaps a modifier based on kill/death ratio as shown in the news section?

im at the doors of tsingtao in communist china, i have a penalty of -30 distance to capital, two days of travel

I did 3/5 on buildings too, now I am doing the fortresses to offset the war penalty.

I think this is a pretty big problem.

Not only does it hurt gameplay, but it can also be exploited.

In my round, half the nations are still active. And most of them are in groups of alliances of 5 to 9 nations.

If these alliances were to team up, let's say in a world war - simply declaring wars against a common enemy would be enough to bring that nation to its knees.

Think about it, that's 20 nations you are at war with - what sort of penalty would you expect?

I am at war with 10 nations, and it capped at -25, which to means I have to have level 5 fortresses in all my territories to compensate. What I am saying is that "At war with" penalty should be capped at -10.

in my game there are 3 major alliances (5-6 players), 1 medium (2-4 players) and 1 small of just 2 players, communist china doesn´t pass the 35% morale thanks to distance and enemy provinces, i already conquer all of it, except the 4 major cities

i have a production of 35,918 tons of grain and i spend almost all of it in population

Units 5,740 Daily

Mejoras* 1,500 Daily

Population 27,646 Daily

Total 35,886 Daily

317 Provinces

Citizens 276,450,960

Average morale at 75%, i can´t increase it, now i have to slow down when i conquer Khabarovsk

*Don´t know the name in english

I agree ,this is a stupid thing in the game. It should only increase drastically if you declare war on others .

It should be capped at -15 , -25 is way too large malus for nothing. Or it should be dinamic and calculated on the number of territories or army sizes compared to the enemies.

The maximum moral i could get in Communist China is 60%, distance to capital is a major issue, i agree with Orkhepaj it should be measure by army or conquered land, there should be some sort of alliance in game so no more than 3 players join side by side

and if you are at war with 10 countries it should count less for the moral or as Orkhepaj says it could be capped at -6 for every alliance or active player

when i say alliance i talk about some kind of treaty in game in which you personally choose your allies, if you don´t have no one to enter the world map and if an ally you enter the game leave for personal issues, a treaty that gives you at least 2 days to prepare defenses in case someone doesn´t stick to it

Sorry for my poor grammar

build fortresses and the problem is largely solved

so you suggest building 500 fortresses in 500 far away periferal provinces? how much iron/goods/money does that cost?

But, as your nation gets bigger, so does your iron output. We should be happy that iron is not consumable.

Nevertheless, I was simply pointing that out.

I personally feel that this is a generally bad idea. The amount of micromanagement required to wait and upgrade each and every province would drive anyone insane.
