Total desparation strike hehe. I wasn't quite sure how it works, if they remain under red control with no other units accompanying, or if its up to that lone gnome to keep them for the team lol

@Black_Elk Yeah, didn't work out too well. Being able to purchase the turn you capture a factory is interesting and at least made it closer.

R.I.P. Good Dragons
A nation holding his own capital costs 15 PUs per turn. Holding two costs 30 PUs. This should favour the underdog a bit, and put strains on the nation strong enough to capture a capital. I am curious to hear if this strain can be felt, and if the capital-less nation feels the PU boost?
(I know that it is maybe overshadowed by the strong dragons at the moment.)
-
@Frostion It definitely does. Crowton's income took a big hit with that -30PU/turn. It actually almost feels like capturing a capital was a bad move. I thought about it a bit and came to this calculation for Crowton/Dwarve:
- Crowton gets the 6PU but -15PU so -9PU total
- Dwarve gets - 6PU but +15PU so +9PU total
- Dwarve loses free weak unit each turn probably worth ~5PU & 5 other resources so maybe worth ~15PU so -15PU total
- Crowton gains and Dwarve loses capital unit production building probably worth a few PUs/turn
So that leaves Crowton -9PU, Dwarve -6PU, and swapping ownership of capital unit production so essentially close to a wash depending how you value the free unit and capital production. I can see wanting capital capture to not be complete game over but this feels a bit too harsh on the capturing side. Really going after the free unit generation territories outside of the capital is way better.

Yeah I'd say its a done deal. I'd keep it going, but I have to travel for the holidays, so probably easier to call it now. We can start another when I return in a week or so, if you're into it.
I hadn't considered the cost of the capital, guess I didn't read the notes very carefully hehe. Figured a revenge kill on some of those enemy dragons would at least show us a nice couple battles for the climax.
Fun stuff! Will be interested to see how I hold up in a rematch now that I have a slightly better grasp on what's what.
Good game man
-
@Black_Elk GG. Yeah, interesting map. Definitely needs a bit of balancing but kind of a unique setting and mechanics. Enjoy your holidays!
-
Yes @Black_Elk Have a good time! I will see if I can update Dragon War within a couple of days.
-
back from my trip if you want to get something going again. Looks like dragon war got an update, so I could be down for a rematch.
I'm also keen to hit Iron War again, though still waiting to see if any of those suggestions are taken up. I think there are definitely some marked differences between the PvP and the AI solo for overall-balance, but I think some of that map stuff would be cool for either playstyle with more +5 tiles. The AI does well when it can push new production along several fronts, and I think having more factory capable spots usually adds gameplay interest for both sides in PvP, cause factories are just fun units to build/destroy hehe.
I'm also curious how the AI purchasing might differ with a steel tweak x10, like going double digits for the steel costs of the current steel units, and single digits for the all rest of the stuff that doesn't have a cost in steel right now.
I think thats the main thing the map needs... upping the total steel such that stuff which currently costs 1 steel would cost 10-19, or 2 steel would be 20-29, 3 steel 30-39 etc, and then using infantry as the base at the low end, with a cost of 1 steel for basic fodder under the new regime. Building it up from there and filling out the gaps. Maybe aircraft cost 8 or 9 steel? AAguns 3 or 4? whatever, but basically finding a way to price things out so that every unit needs at least some steel to enter play. What do you think of the idea?
-
@Black_Elk Let's give the new Dragon War another shot to test out @Frostion's changes. I think it'll play significantly different due to the AI now having a more reasonable value on its neutral units. Feel free to start one up as figure we can switch sides and evil goes first (all 3 in a row).

Right on. I'll bang out a turn when I get back later this evening
