I am writing today about an idea for making battles a bit more interesting, and making hitting throughout / at various points in each round more important. It could, hopefully, reduce excessive strain on the servers during key t2s in battles.
Please bear with me and read the entire idea, and please do comment with any suggestions / tweeks.
So, the basic idea is to have 3 key points during the battle plus a big finish. Battles would still be 2 hours long but there were be 3 stages, or phases.
Phase 2 at 1hr remaining
Phase 3 at 30mins remaining
Battle end would be the "Final Phase"
You would get the following points for leading (more than 50% domination) the battle at each "Phase":
Phase 2 - 3 points
Phase 3 - 5 points
Battle end - 9 points
Now as you can see, you would need to win at least 2 "phases" to win a battle. However, there is also a bonus available. If you win the last battle with a domination of greater than 65% you get 1 bonus point. What this means is that even if you lose the first 3 phases, you can try and throw everything in to the last 30minutes to do enough to save the victory.
Another possibility would be to have a draw instead of a bonus point (if you were 9 points down), meaning no one wins the round.
There are a number of reasons I think this would be a good idea:
1) Means people who need to leave can feel like they are being a bit more useful
2) Potentially could have lower value BHs for each phase (1g, 2g, 3g) and probably at lower damage levels
3) Makes battles more interesting rather than just a last 2 minutes rush
4) Potentially spread load on servers through battles
5) Introduces new strategies to battles (i.e. saving all damage and trying to dominate in the last 30 minutes)
Let me know what you think.
Mandatory boobs.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
