Reclaiming the World (Game Thread)

[Stuck in Pi]

I agree with the above. Those of us who have no one to attack are screwed, as are those who don't feel like fighting. Maybe add it. Maybe. But nerf it heavily if you do.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

What do you all suggest... i'mh appy to try to balance everything. (ronin, don't send orders until this is all figured out)

edit: slaves increas GPT by 3 until they die?

 

[Pinman]

I think perhaps slaves should grant + 2 GPT, if they are going to be given out so freely. Cities should remain gthe main source of income at this stage.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

but the thing is, cities are permanent.

however, slaves last only two turns...

 

[Pinman]

However, at this stage in the game, that is fairly critical. Besides, they really weren't supposed to be present in the first place, not without a tech or something.

3 GPT would be alright, if it wasn't retroactive and it came with a tech. Ronin knew the rules when he decided to build up his military, a new rule shouldn't be instituted that disadvantages others.

 

[Backwards Logic]

I agree that the slave tech is currently overpowered. And especially considering the rules state at this stage of the game only two additional cities can be built - something I've already maxed out (unless this too gets changed). So I propose that the city limit cap gets lifted, while the slave resources give +3 GPT for 2 turns. This way, the ruler can choose how his economy expands - peacefully or by the sword.

I still want to know why my troops didn't attack the barbarians...

 

[The13thRonin]

I also agree that the slave tech is overpowered. By all means nerf it to 3GPT.

But I disagree with removing it or like I stated before. There will be no incentive to conquer instead of to build and research. Surely all should be viable options.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

@backwards Logic: you can still build villages... and the cap is going to start going up soon.

 

[merciary]

Just a heads up I will be gone from the 13th to the 23rd. I'm going to be on vacation in Italy so I'm not sure of my ability to reach a computer.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Send me a gerneal overview of what you'de like your nation to focus on for that period.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Choxorn: I'll expand you a bit further this turn, to make up for last turn...

 

[choxorn]

EDIT: X-post which answered my question.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I need orders...

 

[Pinman]

I'll send you orders today thomas, but i'm still iffy on your adding something like this mid-game.

 

[Terrance888]

Sent! I'm gona use the new thing!

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Pinman... I see it as being fair, and a logical addition... (fair, because it is something that Ronin has been ordering in every set of orders he sent...)

 

[thomas.berubeg]

24 hour mark for orders.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I am a Moron!

I was all set to start to right up the update... but (i'm in canada right now) i reallized i forgot to send myself all my notes...

so, while the update will get done... it means it will take a bit longer than i expected... so today or tomorrow, but later.

 

[mythmonster2]

And the map? Or can you do it now?
