Suggestion of creating a new game mechanics

Meanwhile in GameForge: best I can do is some achievements images from AI.

I really like OGame, but I'm getting bored of having battles with the same players (where stronger players always beat the hell out of me, and where I beat players with lower levels than me).

That is exactly what ogame is. If there is a person you can attack and earn resources because the person is sloppy then you go for it no matter how many times because you are farming him for progression of your account. The orange text is correct and it can not be changed because the entire ogame mechanics would not work anymore. This is a simple game where higher numbers win and you can't go around it. Even if you implament bots to play generated accounts here are some questions for you;

1. Do you want a bot that feeds you resources by being stupid?

2. If bot decides to attack you will it properly simulate the fight and attack with enough ships to actually make a profit out of you?

3. Will bot spy you regulary and keep notice of your fleet composition so he doesn't send less ships to be secure from you doing a ninja on him?

4. In case that you attack a bot while he is showing sings of activity will he pull his fleet so you dont crush him or no?

5. Will bot pull res each day to his moons and do a proper deployment recall FS?

6. In case the bot does any kind of FS beside deployment recall will he instantly "log out" in which case you will always be able to tell exactly when his fleet will arrive tommorow with a little bit of watching him

7. Will bot build defense?

....i mean the list can go on for another 20 questions from other people too but im just curious about this for now xD

I will say, i would not be against a universe with bots so whover wishes to play there could join. I think that would be fair, one-two universes in which there are bots. I would not be up for implamenting this to all servers without properly developing bots to be good so they aren't farmable that easy.

Hello, fellow players

I've played videogames since I was a kid. I've played many games, for PC, consoles, movile, etc. And I've also played many games that include battles.

I really like OGame, but I'm getting bored of having battles with the same players (where stronger players always beat the hell out of me, and where I beat players with lower levels than me).

I really think that OGame should imitate (to some extent) the mechanincs of the videogame Helldivers, and create a LifeForm, controlled by an AI, that could also try to colonize galaxies, grow and attack players (I think that this AI LifeForm should have planets with low levels of streght, other planets with medium levels of strenght, and planets with high levels of strenghts, so any kind of player can have battles against this AI LifeForm).

I really believe that having this "common enemy" could improve the fun and the engagement of the game, since instead of attacking the same players over and over again, anyone could be having battles against the different levels of planets of this AI LifeForm to get higher and higher prices/rewards/resources.

In detail, this would imply: Creating a "player" (which would be an AI) on a distant galaxy. This AI should have 3 instructions:(1) colonize new planets, (2) grow slowly but steady, and (3) attack players that are near. This AI "player" should have the instructions to have strong planets (a lot of resources but with a lot of deffenses), medium-level planets (interesting amount of resources, with fair amount of deffenses), and low-level planets (low resources, with little amount of deffenses).

What do you guys think?

Warm regards

This would mean a down load for ogame to play it, and that means money. to develop and Also means a down loadable check tool would need to be made also for the game.

It also means many common bugs can be blamed on your system and machine. since it would be on a down loaded version of the game.

Seems hard to properly implament without people abusing it somehow. Humans always find loopholes xD. As i said, i would not mind if there is 1-2 servers with this options so people could play on them but as dread said thats probably alot of money out of GF pockets to develop this properly. Just look at LFs changes, they literally smashed things together and did not even bother to balance buffs you reacive from each slot of tech. They just said "oh lets buff ships - by how much? > well lets go with 0.3% for each stat > ok for which ship? > for all of them the same" this is pure laziness and garbage mentality in my opinion so expecting your idea to be implamented means you have not played alot of GF games xD. Well you will learn eventually if you stay how bad of a company they are :D.
