Allow Only High-Ranked Players To Choose Majors in HWW

worst idea ever. As a level 40-something who was won several historical world wars as major powers, I take great offence to this ridiculous suggestion. 0/10

I’ve seen this idea too many times… I think a deposit system (inspired by @SamPGS_17) where you give 5k gold and gain it back once the game ends or you die (as an active player) would work better. Levels are not the best way to tell how good a player is, to be honest.

Appreciate the tag @Carking the 6th. Good shout, this is exactly the sort of thing I’m super interested in.

I agree with @Claudio NVKP and Carking here. As a few people know, I’ve always advocated for a gold deposit-type system in order to minimise inactivity in HWW games. This would be a better system because there’s an actual incentive to keep playing - you’ve spent hard-earned gold on this game, and you want to earn it back!

In contrast, the system you’re proposing wouldn’t fix much. In fact, it would discourage low-level players from playing the game - who wants to be a minor power? In my opinion, it’s far better to let low-level players try the bigger, flashiest nations, whilst experienced players try to win as Manchukuo (as a completely and utterly *random* example).

In my experience, high-levelled players go inactive just as often as lower-levelled players - in some cases more!

This idea would certainly have an impact - it would discourage newer players from playing CoW, and in doing so make the game even more niche and ENCOURAGE inactivity.

That being said, please do continue posting any more ideas you have - that’s the point of the forum, to educate, constructively criticise, and encourage good ideas.
