We were thinking of changing the permits so they can only allow nation to nation instead of free choice (like Zypern -> Vyseus permit for example) and only allow a certain amount to be bought or used, according to balance.

11 Players, and to be honest, I only see them during BM, so it's sad that those Players wait a whole week just to join BM, so if there wasnt any BM, what would they do? Quit? You can't force them to join War's, I'm not joining them either unless I feel like it, but imagine those 11 Players joining the War's aswell...anyway, there is no reason to join War.

Not following.... can you elaborate a little more? Permits don't change your nation? I'm confused how permits came into play. How will this balance the nations any better? And how will balance be determined?

Let's say the migration for Yllse->Vyseus is open, and you are from Yllse, you don't have to open a ticket to move to Vyseus, all you need will be to buy a Permit. (and I think the number of migratons will be limited). That's how I think he meant it.

Currently we determine nation strength and balance by local wars. Not everyone joins local war. So how can you determine balance correctly. You have to give players a reason to join? Hence again why I said other issues are more important.

We've been recently checking the number of people in towns.
Yllse is doing ok most of the time.
Vyseus is doing ok around 12-18ST, otherwise it's a ghost town.
Zypern seems emptier recently than about 2 weeks ago.

You will have better chance at balance if you let players have the ability to buy nation transfer where they want to play. You cant control it. I gave my suggestion of making it expensive. Sometimes the best solution is to keep it simple and focus on bringing more people to the game rather than wasting time trying to balance something that your results will be skewed no matter how you look at it. Based on activeness, time zones, and motivation to play.
