5 castle chance limit

Xliest

Hi, I’d like to propose that next round we reduce the chance to take from 10castles to 5 ie if you have 2 castles you have a 20% chance of losing one in an attack, and if you have 3 castles then it’s 40% and 4 castles is 60% 5 castles 80% and 6+ is 100% this will still curb the thirst for attacking everyone with 2 castles to snatch up half their kingdom, while also lowering the duration of farm festivities that occur at the beginning of the round.

In a thread somewhere I think it’s already been said that it will be 100% at 5.

My alternative thought is 10x starting values and have everyone started with 10 castles 100 land to really speed the game up.

I think it speed up the game, but it loses the part that you strive hard to get enough income to get strong than others, the part that you farm for now, join the fight later.
In this, once you are out of prot you will be part of something that you dont want or like yet. It will jump yourself to fight to defend.

trupheus I personally really like the early game and wouldn’t want it be cut out like that.

whatever the castle chance changes are - it should scale continuously. The 20 and 30 castle thresholds suck right now

Another random thought on the castle issues, plus incentivizing people to play together in one province. What if the castle count for the entire province gave scaling production bonuses to the members of the province. This would both deter people from sitting at lower castles to "play it safe", and encourage people that are playing together to be in one province vs scattered across random ones so they can hit each other for protection. Would also cause people to think less about their individual kingdom and more about the province as a whole, something that I think is currently lacking - getting an extra castle exposes your kingdom slightly more, but all of your province mates get the benefits of extra resource production. Players would be less likely to give up mid round, as their kingdom performance is now more tied in with the rest of the province.

Thoughts?

skigglez the first thing you’ve said that makes the remotest amount of sence, good job!

skigglez Love the idea, but is there any possible safeguard to prevent a runaway effect? Im not sure if that's even a concern, but I always have apprehension about systems that reward people in the front with more avenues to get even further out front. If it's not an issue though, I think this is fantastic. It doesnt even have to be some sort of buff. Maybe a certain amount of resources at 00:00 for every province member.

skigglez +1 maybe

Do it in tiers, and eventually cap it out. That way there’s something to chase and eventually all provinces can hit it. When everyone is making way more resources builds can transition into more military based and there should be more fighting mid to late round.

skigglez all super valid points. I think of all of the discussions around the game, this one feels like it has the most legs. The dependable resources gets everyone up to speed fairly quickly, and as you said, allows for divergent tactics and playstyles. It also provides a pretty nice safety net - even if you get absolutely smashed, there will be something to help you get back on your feet that is nearly independent of your own kingdom.
