i like wars and will join from time to time but not that often for a few reasons.
nation balance is definately a key point (partially because no fame for losers). now that ZT has moved to zypern there is an influx of higher lvl players into zyp, but is still unbalanced. i dont feel compelled to go to war because i believe the chances of zypern winning a very slim so i wont get fame.
so my first suggestion is; make it so that only winners get the fame from stones, but everyone gets fame for killing players. put the fame gained from killing players into lvl brackets not just from people higher.
for example ; 15 lvls lower than you = no fame, between 15 and 5 lvls lower 1 fame, 5 lvls either side of you 2 fame, 5 to 15 above you = 3 fame and over 15 lvls above you = 4 fame.
numbers can be tweaked for best results but you get the idea.
i also agrea that 2 hours is a bit long, especially if people are gona be racking up loadsa fame from kills. i also agrea with lp about the 2 fame just for participating, if you not fighting then why should u get anything?
