Global War (Rules and Concepts)

Haha, very funny. The only big change we had is population, and like you've said before, its all made to seamp the players to incapacitation. The idiots get frustrated and quit, people are too focused to be salty and only experienced people should be left come mid game. I just came up with a witty rhetort but I forgot it.

I think with the rebellions you should make it so you can only rebel in certin Empire depending on thier population/territory or approval/happiness if you add something like that. This way small empire won't be unfairly destroyed or crippled because somone joins as rebels instead of a new nation. And with the feudal lords being given independence you should maybe make it so thier masters find it appealing to give them there independence (ATM there isnt really any benifits to giving them independence). These are just some of my ideas its obviosly up to you if you choose to implement them.

I'm the human calculator here, so it's natural for me to be considered a witty twit I take that as a compliment.

I don't really relish an overtly complicated game that falls apart easily. But in this case, you really do want to make things exceptionally difficult on purpose. No sense in doing anything halfway, go with elegant and simple design OR go freaky bananas with details overload.

For example, the production points, what if you make it so that the production points is a derivative of the population of your cities, aka tax rates multiplied by total population. That would make the players work harder with their math.

Yes that's the idea. It's up to you how to set it like that.

Or add a dimension of complexity even further for where the government is involved. Based on the government, the cities are taxed differently. Idk if Civ ideas should be put in here.

It can be for example: feudalism - smaller cities are more efficient. Ancient republic would have a different way of determining the PP given to you from the population. Communism would be inefficient as hell but equal in applying to all classes. You would end up screwing the effectiveness of PP tho, but have benefits of being able to use the gestapo (or just call them the secret police like in Civ3) on the people. Government as an absolute ruler would have different conditions and tax rates.

And... Maybe even with unlocking a tech called mathematics and it allows you to adjust the tax rates a step up or a step down with postive or negative impacts involved.

That's fine long as you don't expect me to take you out to dinner I don't go that direction.

this was meant to be a thread for RP guys, not a dating site

Ew4 forum's the name BTW
