Capital? system

[livid aspen]

Theres a capital at the center of your spawing point. It gives you bonuses.

x% more gold from trades
Increase pop produce speed

If the capital gets captured you dont lose, but you get weaker a lot, so you can rebuild it with gold. Your capital is your color and the captured capital stays the captured nation's color even after its captured. You can't rebuild a captured capital.

It has a lot of health and you can heal it with gold.

You can change the location of ur capital with a lot of gold once in about 7 min

This will make users use defense posts strategically and think a lot where to place the capital.

[potent burrow]

This is a really good idea.

[versed herald]

it is a good idea

[potent burrow]

Capital City should be a city with star icon above it, or around it.

[livid aspen]

:>

[livid aspen]

Thks

[livid aspen]

Good

When you click on the players name in ranking, it should direct you to the user's capital

[severe hill]

Nukes:

[analog juniper]

Ye nukes is kinda an issue

But if the MAD (mutually assured destruction comes)

Maybe it wouldn't

[livid aspen]

Maybe make it so that capitals have a lot of hp and gets destroyed by 3 nukes?

[grim pelican]

@livid aspen has reached level 5. GG!

[livid aspen]

If the other nuke ur capital u can nuke their capital also

[analog juniper]

Ig it would be nicer if the small nukes dont destroy area, just structures
Maybe your area would be "radioactive" but its still yours

It would fit nicely with the capital HP idea, since you wont have the problem of all the area surrounding the capital being destroyed

Btw

What would happen if you capture smo elses capital? You get two capitals? Or its just a captured capital?

[analog juniper]

Yeah that would fit nicely with the M.A.D idea too

[livid aspen]

Getting 2 capitals would be nice

That way players will try to be more aggressive to claim as many capitals as they can since capitals will give u some bonuses, making the game fast paced and more fun

A small player with many capitals can win a big player so it could be a strategy? I think

[livid aspen]

That would be great

Hmm hydro will be a bit overpowered if they can like one shot the capital

Maybe this would work: if the capital's hp is still left after the hydro nuke, the area around the capital is yours

Or jus apply it to hydro bomb too so the bombs make your area radiactive but still yours like small nukes

I like the idea of the nuked area still belonging to you

[analog juniper]

yeah i understand the more bonuses
but i think there should be a distinction between your capital and captured capitals

you can rebuild your capital

but if you lost a captured capital, you cant rebuild it

[analog juniper]

honestly i believe that they should be nerfed in some way
10M cost maybe

[analog juniper]

same

[livid aspen]

Good and maybe differences in color in my capital and captured capital would be nice. My capital is my color and the captured capital stays the captured nation's color even after its captured.

[analog juniper]

that would be nice yes

you can edit your post with the new ideas
so they wont be lost

[livid aspen]

Ok

[livid aspen]

So is this idea gonna be added ig for high odds?

🥹

[analog juniper]

There's a good chance yes

:))

Thank you for contributing to the community um idk your name
Korean guy 😊

The community is the lifeblood of this project

[livid aspen]

Yay

[marble plank]

i like the idea but not really that it spawns at center, as sometimes I can just rush coast and not pay attention to my capital

i mean sometimes you just sacrifice territories that are not so profitable in exchange for concetrating more troops on worth target

so i would say that building capital with gold would be better idea

and it just gives like boosts to population

not cap of it but also the speed of "production"

[analog juniper]

I think so too

You can only build one

And can move it with gold

[livid aspen]

Ok good

Maybe the first capital is free

And the second is like 10M?

[marble plank]

woahhh

no no that much

people would just camp and play on gold

it would have been even longer matchup

[livid aspen]

It shouldnt be easy to build capitals

[marble plank]

it shouldnt be free ( the first one )

[analog juniper]

Too too much i think

[livid aspen]

And they kinda camp and play on gold now either

[marble plank]

but not too much

[livid aspen]

To nuke others

[marble plank]

not that much

[livid aspen]

Ok

Maybe 5M?

[marble plank]

nooo i mean capital

[livid aspen]

Yes

Capitap

[marble plank]

doesnt give that much progits

profits

[livid aspen]

It should give you a lot of bonuses

Thats why it should be a strategic point

[marble plank]

im thinking mostly of increasing population production

and maybe like +x % to gold

that would have been cool

[livid aspen]

Hmmm

[marble plank]

i mean yea for now thats an concept more detailed is for later

but concept for sure great

[tawdry herald]

Some side effect I see with this, placing your capital in a mounting will be very overpowered when you build a defence post next to it

[livid aspen]

Thanks

Yes

Thats some strat

[analog juniper]

True

[marble plank]

but we could also do that like 3 cities next to rach other are turning into capital

[livid aspen]

Mountain regions are hard to claim but can be easy to defend capital

Oh thats in #1323279532580536392

My other concept

[marble plank]

yes but we could do a diffrent bonuses based on the terrain

[livid aspen]

Maybe

A capitals role is like

5 cities?

[marble plank]

yea policentric urbanization

[livid aspen]

Basically?

[tawdry herald]

idk if its a thing for capital cities, but defence posts in mountains are atm already very overpowered when defending. Using this, you can basically easily win the "impossible" difficulty (mainly since AI is dumb)

[grim pelican]

@tawdry herald has reached level 1. GG!

[tawdry herald]

don't mean to throw a wrench into capital buildings, since its a nice concept, just something I wanted to leave to think about 🙂

[marble plank]

i mean the game is not finished there alaways can be buffs and debuffs

[livid aspen]

Idk

[marble plank]

like defence post x5 on normal terrain and x3 on moutines

you know what i mean right?

[livid aspen]

Yes it sounds super op

But nuke = insta win

☠️

[marble plank]

i mean we will surely do smth about nukes the are pretty powerful

[tawdry herald]

I know, I would however rather see another way to invading, perhaps using a larger force on a specific spot on the border, to be able to "push" through the mountain

that way you give players more control on how they wanna ttack

[livid aspen]

Yes its way too op

[marble plank]

yes but we also dont want to make game too complicatred

[livid aspen]

Like provinces

In other games

[marble plank]

but we i think we should discuss these things like after council etc.

[marble plank]

well yea but look at HOI great game but you need hours to even know whats happening

[livid aspen]

Yes

[marble plank]

as im saying this could be in more advanced mode

[livid aspen]

Simplicity is why this game and tt.io is popular to some people

[marble plank]

so we could have like basic one and advanced

where all these smaller more deatiled things come in

[livid aspen]

Maybe thers gotta be another way to do this, but simpler

[marble plank]

exactly

[analog juniper]

I dont think there's a reason to do that mechanic

[livid aspen]

The idea is good and requires more skill and strats

[marble plank]

i would do these 2 modes advanced basic etc

[livid aspen]

Ok

[marble plank]

if the game gets popular you could split them into 2 diffrent

[livid aspen]

Hmm

What should the capital do

[marble plank]

increase in population production

x% more gold from trades

[livid aspen]

This is actually unique

Sounds good

[marble plank]

B)

[marble plank]

it sounds good

as your not adding anything new as an of something new to learn

[analog juniper]

They will be changed

Haven't figured out how yet

#1322556951162519674 i have a suggestion on the matter if yoh want

[marble plank]

just mechanic thats easy to master

[analog juniper]

That's kinda confirmed

#1315237851180564522

[livid aspen]

Maybe faster pop regen for capital

[livid aspen]

Yes ive seen it

Sounds great

[marble plank]

i mean with capital as completly diffrent building, there would be wayyy more ways to play the game which might make it more complicated as an off do we rush capital do we stay and with cities, i mean you build cities anyways

[analog juniper]

Actually
It's planned

[marble plank]

damn there is a lot of things ill have to sit and look theough but thats good

[analog juniper]

I like the idea of emergent complexity

We make simple stuff

And players can find different ways to use them and master those simple mechanics

[marble plank]

yes but then there is way more ways for openings, with cities that you build anyways it makes mid game more complex which i think is better

[analog juniper]

Yeah

Easy to learn
Hard to master

I like this

But that's my opinion

What do you think?

[marble plank]

But like mid game or early

Beacuse i think that with cities (that cost is going up all the time, so having 3/5 of them in early is pretty hard) it gives more pressure on mid-game

so even with better opening (early) you might be behind in midgame

[analog juniper]

what are you suggesting?

[marble plank]

hmmm i think all suggestions are easier to explain on vc

so like if council is up there could some meetings sometimes would be cool

[analog juniper]

That would actually be cool

Like community can have presentations

[potent burrow]

Make it so that if players who has existing capital city and conquers other players' capital city, it gets turned into regular city.

[analog juniper]

We thought abt you get a "captured capital" and you get some of the bonuses

The capitaless nation can try to regain their capital

[livid aspen]

Is already written

Captured capital remains the color of the nation it belonged to

[livid aspen]

Thank you
