Would it be possible to increase the number of characters available to use on the Alliance Overview Message? The existing allowance seems a bit small and an increase would allow more information to be given to alliance members.

Those wishing to contribute to the game by making suggestions (both small and large) should read the following before doing so.
Bushtarion largely runs completely automatically, and has been designed intentionally to be as self-maintaining as possible, with mechanics and balance considered at a completed point.
Please do not spend large amounts of time coming up with complex suggestions in the hope that they will be read and possibly implemented in the future, unless you just enjoy the discussion, theory-craft, and such.
The most likely changes will be rules-changes, specific number-tweaks to units, techs, and similar sorts of changes, and only if a large community consensus is reached as "proof" that a change would, overall, be an improvement, and are more likely to be done in batches, occassionally, not as a regular thing.

Re: Alliance Overview Message
i especially find this necessary with the increase in "noob" alliances, due to the much greater need for more explanations on the overview to let the "newbies" know whats they should/shouldn't be doing. And it can be quite annoying to try and sum it all up into a much smaller section than you originally expected.

Re: Alliance Overview Message
Some leaders like to add contact details and other things to the overview such a useful links, or maybe more 'fun' things such as poems. Although, Pols can be used for each rather than increasing the size of the overview message, changed my mind on the whole idea.. keep it the length it is.

Re: Alliance Overview Message
well actually i think Eden just hit it on the head, the ones that dont want to write a long overveiw message doesnt have to, and the people that dont wanna see a long message can hide it.
your argument is i dont wanna see it, then jsut hide it, mine is weve got no choice and cant add anymore.
you see?

Re: Alliance Overview Message
So don't add anymore, use pols instead, they aren't there for nothing.

Re: Alliance Overview Message
The alliance I'm in store all the essential details on Overview (as well as Politics) - a list of IDs with route, contact number and timezone. Further to this we have our details such as other important guidelines and things the members need to know. I'm not talking about adding poems or whatnot - if we add so much as a reasonably long sentence, bits start to drop off without warning.
