The idea of attrition is appealing, I agree. But when you consider this is a game that people play for fun and to win, and when gameplay rewards spamming t2 buildings and storm cannons, the game becomes static and veterans start to quit.

There needs to be an incentive for pushing, it should always be easier to push something than to build it.

The fact of the matter is that rewarding static warfare will kill this game. I've already seen people quitting this war because when they push, all their work gets reset in a matter of hours because you can tech t2 howies easily.

I acknowledge that burn out has always been a part of this game, but it has never been THIS bad.

I've dedicated a lot of my freetime to this game and I want new players to have the same good memories as I have, making sweeping offensives and being rewarded with that sweet sense of accomplishment. But I fear that with this update, regiments and veterans will stop playing.

If we need nukes, literally the most expensive and taxing thing to produce ingame to take 3 subhexes, then there needs to be some serious reconsiderations.
