Civilization VI New Update Idea - Researchers Mode

[Michael Cheok]

Sid Meier Civilization VI New Update Ideas

→ New Unit

[Researcher] (Can be produced in Campus with Research Lab)

· Unit type: Civilian

· Can be capture by enemy military units

-When captured an enemy Researcher, you may choose to

1. recruit (become your unit)
   
   
2. arrest (can be used to trade as Spy)
   
   
3. kill (gain 100 Science but increase 25 Grievance)
   

· Ability: Create a Research Base on your own territory or any unclaimed territory.

· Must be purchase with faith.

· One charge per Researcher



→ New Type of Building

-- Post --

[Research Base]

· Can only be built by the Researcher.

· Can only be built on own territory or unclaimed territory, occupied one tile, and can improve or harvest resources in six adjacent tiles.

· Provide +4 Science if build on Snow, Volcanic soil, adjacent to Volcanic soil, +4 Culture if build on Rainforest, Desert, adjacent to Coast/ Lake.

· Provide visibility within 4 tiles, from the center of the Research Base.

· Research Base can be named, for instance, USA Antarctic Station, Moscow Station, Antarctic Kunlun Station, etc.

· Provide 1 aircraft slot, allow airlift unit to the Research Base

· Military engineers and Builders are allowed to build improvements on the six adjacent tiles of the Research Base.

· Can construct a few specific buildings with specific projects.

· Needed gold for maintenance, -10 golds per Research Base, without golds all the functions of Research Base will be deactivated.

· Military engineers are allowed to demolish the research base. The area occupied and adjacent 6 tiles will belong to the nearest city if the Research Base is in your own territory.

· Allow shut down of the Research Base by conduct the Base Deactivated Project.

· When deactivated, all the functions of the Research Base will shut down, including airlift function, aircraft slot, and all the improvement in the territory of Research Base.

· Improvement within Research Base does not require population to work, but needed gold to maintain, -3 golds per improvement/turn.

· Since the Research Lab does not require production and food, the production and food gained from improvement will turn into faith, 1 production = 1 faith, 1 food = 1 faith.

· Restriction: All adjacent 6 tiles must be empty or with resources. Research Base cannot be built if adjacent to the city center or district, vice versa.

Suggestion & TIPS: Use Military engineers to build hangar improvement or missile silo improvement in the Research Base territory can turn the Research Base into an underlying military base.



[Building]

I. Meteorological Station

-Provide +2 Science, additional +1 Science for each adjacent tile of Snow or Volcanic soil.

- Researcher is needed to set up the Meteorological Station (Set up instantly when the charge is used)

-Allow research of Meteorological Project

-Maintenance fees 4 golds.

Restriction: Cannot be built if Conservation Station has already been built in the Research Base.

II. Conservation Station

-Provide +2 Culture, additional +1 Culture for each adjacent tile of Rainforest/ Desert/ Coast/ Lake.

-Naturalist is needed to set up the Conservation Station (Set up instantly when the charge is used)

-Allow conduct of Afforestation Project.

-Maintenance fees 4 golds.

Restriction: Cannot be built if Meteorological Station has already been built in the Research Base.



[Project]

I. Meteorological Project

-5 turn in normal speed, count as turn, not production

- Required Meteorological station

- Can detect the Hurricane, Tornado, Dust storm, Blizzard, and Volcanic eruption which may happen in the next 25 turns, provide science after the project finished.

-Start with a prediction of disaster with 65% accuracy. Accuracy of disaster occur +5% for each time completed the project, Maximum 95% accuracy.

-All the Research Labs share the same information (Accuracy) after Computer technology is found.

-Can detect the disaster may occur within 20 tiles, boost to 30 tiles when the satellite is launched.

II. Afforestation Project

-5 turn in normal speed, count as turn, not production

-Required Conservation Station

-Allow Builder to farm and plant trees on Desert and Tundra tiles within 20 tiles after the project is completed. Expired after 15 turns.

III. Base Deactivated Project

-3 turn in normal speed, count as turn, not production

-All the building and improvement in the Research Base deactivated after this project was completed. All yields from this base will also stop providing.

IV. Base Activated Project

-3 turn in normal speed, count as turn, not production

-All the building and improvement in the Research Base activated after this project was completed. (Only appeared when the Research Base is deactivated)

That's the humble view from me for the new game update ideas, thanks for reading ~
