Dan the time has come.

We have been working with your legion system for almost 2 yrs now. It works great but many would like to grow.
I suggest you increase the standard base limit to 100 players.

As you can see we have been doing it on our own by making sister legions for some time.
This would help the lower legions consolidate like I have seen many want to.
Not only will it make them stonger as one, it will help to improve there odds at being able to succeed at a legion mission.

(I remember a lot of complaints to this from smaller legions, and while I was legion hopping to smaller legions I saw this as a problems as well.)

Are you talking about legion size?

If so, there's a million and one reasons against doing that.

I would like this but i don't think Dan, or a few other players see it that way.

The bonus to planets would be too much.

60 players are plenty for NPCs and legion missions.

I guess this could be useful for base fights but there are battle pacts for a reason.

The bonus is nothing hard to fix, instead of 2% it now 1% per player.

And I said nothing about base fights. But yes it would help smaller legions on that as well. I was talking about legion mission, but forgive me your so arrogant you do not think of the little guys that play.

So let me explain what I saw. When I was going to smaller legions to help them with base stuff, most of the legion missions were failing do to a lack of players being able to do them. But if they had a larger pool of players to pull on it would help them a lot. It would not fix their problem, however it would give them more a chance to succeed.

It is another change though, which takes time away from more important things in the game. Legions are fine at the size they are now.

It would help base battles, but it would also lead to horrendously overpowered BPs.

Question: Were these legions you went to help full e.g. 60/60?

Also you do remember that the legion missions were geared towards high rankers? If low rankers can't do them, do something else... there is plenty of content.

So now the max is 100%? No thank you.

As for base fights, it'd be impossible to get an entire legion on even a level 8 base.

Again, -1.

Planet protection bonus...
Changing it by less % per person isn't fair to the little legions who can't even fill their legions at 50/50

Base fights would be easier for the top legions who still have enough hitters to blitz a base before buffs go up.
Lower ranks wouldn't benefit because those bases they are trying to kill suddenly have a lot more members and all those base buffs just got that much bigger.

Oh wait, I forgot I am an arrogant high rank in an arrogant top 10 legion and we don't care about the little guys so +1 to your suggestion you haven't put much thought into.

Your just do not like it because it would make base fight harder for you.

Oh wait you do not add any help to your legion, my bad it would make it much harder for the ones in your legion that actually do their part, you’re not one.

But your right it would make bases much harder to kill, and if I am not mistaken I saw many wanted that.

This would hurt smaller Legions far too much is the biggest issue I can find with this change.

I would support an increase on the cap but that is just because it would mean I get a lot of business for a while.

smaller legions with lower ranked players shouldn't be bothering with legion missions anyways. The E expenditures are too high, and most of the awesome mission market items require a ridiculous amount of medal points.

Yeah, I disagree with this too. While it would be nice to have a 100 people in a legion, it would also be too much. Lower ranked legions would just start falling apart at the seams and many larger legions would fall out of commission with all their members running to join the big boys. All the high ranked members would all be in those high level legions and the little guys would be scarce as they all quit the game due to lack of members in their groups...

As much as you think this is good, it will destroy the game and many smaller and even larger legions. The only legions I see being alright with this are legions with sister groups. Other groups would just fall apart.

-1 to increasing the size of a Legion.

However I would like to see something added to the Legion system. On a different game that added a legion-like system a few months ago, members earn points for the legion by doing various things which can give all members a boost to different aspects of that game. I'd like to see something similar here, like a form of "legion tasks" (or challenges, whatever sounds cooler) that would have a week long timer, that members would be able to put themselves up for a certain task and gain credit towards a certain goal. These goals could then be adjusted in difficulty by the officers/leaders, but would grant lesser rewards when made easier. If a task is completed it could give a temporary buff of some sort for either 2 days or when the tasks would expire (what ever's shortest). These would be done at the same time as Legion Missions (so credit from the Foundry of War disable players task would count towards any task for disabling players).

Currently any actions a player does only benefits them, so working towards a legion-wide objective that rewards everyone would add more to the legion system. Thoughts on this?

one day adding 5-10 players to a legion maybe a good way to counterbalance things. MAYBE!

But today is not that day.
