Following the success of the First and Second articles(Ideas to improve the game), here comes the third one.


1. Build Entrenchments/Fortifications

Influence can get annoying after a while, especially if the damage goes to values like 30-60%.
What if we could Build Entrenchments/Fortifications in regions with high influence to combat the effect?
As example, if a region have 30 influence points (+30% damage), it would require 30k raws of each (1 influence - 1k raw) to cancel the effect for x days or why not, even lower the influence completely for a higher amount, like 2-3k raw for 1 influence point.
This would also have a positive impact on the raw market and the whole economy and give players a way to fight the influence bonus.


2. MLRS System

Defence System it's quite annoying, isn't it? Once placed in any region it becomes almost impossible to conquer it.
That's why a new MLRS System company would be ideal to combat the Defence System. However, the cost of building it(in terms of raw/workers needed) should be double than DS to make it have a strategic impact and not be spammed constantly.
Sidenotes: 
Once a MLRS System is used(even to a region without DS), a Defence System can't be installed for 30 minutes.
Once a Defence System is installed, a MLRS System can't be used for 30 minutes.
This would give a strategic depth to the time when those systems are used. 


3. Captcha and SMS Verification

Yes, i know verifying through SMS globally gets expensive on high numbers, but here is my idea:
Players would have to verify through SMS with a phone number linked to their account once per month to get rid of CAPTCHA. 
This would have a double positive effect:
- Real players have a more enjoyable experience without the much hated captcha.
- Accounts without verified number(high chances to be multis) would face an even harder captcha system and be monitored closely. 
Phone number linked to account can be changed only through ticket by admin.
Services like online phone verification should be monitored and phone numbers banned(accounts too).
We're like what, maximum 400-500 real players still playing the game? the costs of sms service every month should be negligible and the positive effects too good to be ignored.


4. Different game themes

We've had this design for way too many years. I understand a complete redesign takes time and money, but can we get at least a few theme colors to pick from? Maybe background too, just to give a "fresh" look to our beloved old game. Would be amazing for each of us to customize the game the way we like.
I'm a big fan of dark mode and would love to see this implemented:



5. Redesigned Register page

If i try to invite players to the game they see the same register page from the other 3 more games(soon 4), have a deja-vu and press X, thinking they're registering to the same 8-9 years old game.
Fresh look for register page, maybe even with different image backgrounds based on IPs or when selecting a country to register in, for example Croatians would see some custom image with their flag and so on, ChatGPT can help generating images for each country.
CPs being able to pick the image on register page could also be an option.
