<div>It occurs to me that I share a border with the Peladine and I have no idea what the Peladine race is, what their special rules are, or what their ships look like. I can't find them on Matt's website. Anyone have a summary of such rules?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Paul G.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

<div dir="ltr">It used to be that there were income rewards that carried over from turn to turn. So, instead of a base 30EP every turn, for example, it could increase or decrease depending on the scenarios won or lost.
<div>The "leading empire" was, as I understand it, based on a formula combining fleet strength, income and cash on hand. I may be, and probably am, wrong but it seemed like that was the gist.</div>
<div>The problem was the random element.</div>
<div>When you were a defender, you could lose significant recurring income, which was totally logical, but if you had 4 scenarios like that, you were going to lose, period.</div>
<div>I think that's really the best model, and most appropriately represents what a real campaign would look like. But the randomizer should be a bit different, based on previous encounters - specifically those encounters which involved a fixed asset.</div>
<div>How that's achieved, programatically, I don't know.</div>

No thanks on the negative points you could be unfortunate enough to get all 8 missions defence and you are basically just out of the game just because of the RNG.

<div dir="ltr">Matt could you make a non player race? That when some one attacks a non border and closes it it would open a border with the non player race. Giving a player a free border only needing to assign a ship there to gain the EPs? Are is that not possible

<div dir="ltr">Lol yeah I over do it at times.
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>Ok in a nutshell. No Borders are bad bad bad.</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>The only reason to try and take a border is if you absolutely need to reduce your combat area because it is hurting you too badly to have that much area to defend. </div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>So no one ever fights a No Border scenario because they gain nothing and lose every possible point the could make in the future. It is a lose/lose Pyrrhic Victory where winning hurts you as much or more than him. </div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>Marcel's idea of must defend or you lose enough income to be hurt. And/or the idea of a negative balance means you must kill a ship of equal or lessor value or several ships to pay the cost would work better. As in considering that all ships require some
upkeep and maintenance and if your balance is negative then you cannot support all your ships.</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>So this is why there is an issue with the idea.</div>
