One of my balance suggestions would be, Pioneers need increased time to build so if they are going to construct a spawner, That should take at least some time where I at least have a chance of killing it as it is now, I'm running around trying to find the whale, and I just can't get there in time I think I need more practice with it, as I'm trying to envision how I'm supposed to manipulate all of these factions, So that I can take advantage of them rather than just being victimized by ridiculousness. As a player, for me to enable a faction, I need carrots and sticks. I just played one where I got 20 golems coming for me like a wrecking ball: https://bugtracker.arcengames.com/view.php?id=24792 Or, at least, a chance of stopping the wrecking ball before it starts. |

One other suggestion, the Civil War notifier should make it clear on the teams involved. |
|
|
The notification should list all the factions involved already? |
|
|
And as for the spawners taking more time to build, you get a big notification for the fact that pioneers are coming, and the ZA takes several rounds of pioneers to be able to hit civil-war size. I don't really know that making spawners take more time is going to help? |
|
|
Just my suggestion to put a timer on it. It happens too quickly in my game, where I couldn't find it fast enough and it seems to instantly create the spawner. When I build anything, it takes time. |
|

I think this is doable. The plan will be that all spawners will take some time to warp in (the same amount for any spawner), and when warping in a spawner that will trigger the civil war, you'll get a notification. How long do you think the warp-in should take? Edit: I've implemented this. Feedback would be nice. |

|
FWIW I think the Spawner timer is quite long - at least on intensity 5. Don't know if it changes. I think the notification that the ZA has Pioneers out is plenty of warning for the player. That lets you know that if you don't deal with them, a Spawner is likely to happen. I can see maybe a minute on the Spawner, but right now at several minutes it feels like the only way they are going to expand is if you decide to let them. |

The Spawner timer was quite overkill *ZA Spawners warp in faster across the board, scaling with intensity. They were taking forever to warp in, even at 10 |
