Zero idea. Randomized power surges. Power structure defence determines the outcome +/-

[thin warren]

defend mechanic, Deflection. 1. random land plot next door. 2. upgraded ability allows deflection to be directed, further up grades give range. Or if you dont have the power defences you take the hit. Consequence could be something like resource output for 24hrs is disrupted.

new structure. power surge magnet. Attracts & absorbs surges that the player can then use immediately or store.

Another structure Artillery.
Himars allow pinpoint your target+ multi weapons options.

I know landowners typically don't want disruptions to their game. But this sounds like a really fun event to happen across the map

[thin warren]

definitely a way to add some kind of battle element to Zero. Build defence shields with upgrades catch out the players who didnt prepare.

structures for your choice of unit. fire guided rockets. build defence with alliances.

colliders lined up direct gives a production boost the longer the line goes

or maybe another material ( waste ) that is extracted from the crypton.

[round wind]

Like a storm is predicted and you have to prep for it? Or they happen randomly and you just always have to be prepared?

[thin warren]

my thinking was randomized

[subtle geode]

prob need a separate mode from the revenue generating gameplay for iz

[thin warren]

like a randomized storm that gave various levels of power surge maybe just like the weather.
