Relationship Upkeep Usage?

[redrum]

@crazyg Yeah, that appears to be the case. The only place I saw it added to at one point was Napoleonic Empires FFA but looks like it was removed.

[Hepps]

@redrum Isn't it in ZOD's badass FFA?

[General_Zod]

@redrum Yes I use this in my Bad-Ass 4-Nation FFA. I use two forms of costs, one upkeep for both nations if accepted (and each turn as long as active) and a one time charge for the nation initiating the diplomatic overture.

@prastle I use a different upkeep for the dragons charging the nations food to feed the dragons.

@frostion I do have a mod for your Dragon War, just never quite completed it. Actually forgot about it for several months. Eventually I was gonna fill you in on it.

[prastle]

@general_zod kk gz it was just a cool idea for dragon wars! I still like my eggs idea as well

[Frostion]

Interesting about the food upkeep cost for Dragons. Good idea. I wonder why I didn't implement it. Would be nice to see the "mod" one day.

[General_Zod]

@frostion Yeah we can compare notes on it. @Prastle and I played DW for a while last year so we can both help ya on improvements.

My mod may have went a bit too far. I converted it to d20 as an experiment to try and get a d&d feel going. But that's were I left it. I never actually tested since.

Also I was leaning toward a 3 way FFA with alliances.

[General_Zod]

@frostion The food upkeep for dragons causes nations to decide, dragons and a small standing army or none and a large standing army.

Because I made dragons very hungry :()

[Frostion]

@General_Zod If you post the XML there is an "Official" Dragon War thread here at the new forum. I don't know about breaking up the alliances and converting to d20 though. But who knows

[Hepps]

@general_zod wouldn't Dragons be eating you enemies units?

[General_Zod]

@hepps Sure were they can. But dragons are so powerful, I thought they needed a counter balance element.

[General_Zod]

@frostion Yeah its really not the same game anymore. You don't even wanna know what else I did. lol

I might give you heart palpitations.

[prastle]

@general_zod don't tell him about the new gate ideas

[Frostion]

I am thinking in the lines of WoW and the great world changing “Cataclysm”! Arghh!

[prastle]

@frostion we really enjoyed the map only 2 major issues we found were:

• Dragons were way to predictable.

• It was almost impossible for the east to help the west without a southwest passage for the elves to the inner sea? or a gate? Similar prob with the north.

[Hepps]

@prastle Maybe this conversation is better suited for the map thread?

[prastle]

@hepps Np ill shush
