User wishlist!!!!!

[blitzkrieg]

With an impending reset incoming, here's your chance to very briefly give Mickey a Wishlist for the Beta III.

I'll kickoff with

- Varible city size based on stability of ownership or amount of attacks.

- "Ready Reserve" city defence bonus (purchaseable).

- Army training and experience gaining.

- More resources and bonus cities.

- Better resource output (geos).

- Intergration of resource dependant activities within GEWar (cotton and geos to buy troops, oil and geos to move armies across map).

- Blitzkriegmj elevated to "God-like" status to be revered by all.

Blitzkriegmj

[Radeon]

Also.....

Being able to create armies from cities after a peroid of time...

Being able to Merge two armies together....

Being able to split an army in half to create 2 armies.....

And also giving Radeon a head start after the Reset. ;)

Just a few things that some people have brought up before...

[His Lord Uberdude]

-Increasing city values with taxes

-No nuke shields

-Massive destruction to nuked cities (yeah, that's my pet peeve right now ;) )

That's it for now...I'll think something up later...

Is beta 3 imminent? :whoa:

[blitzkrieg]

Thanks Radeon, I forgot merging and splitting armies (and I originally suggested them (from the desk of Blitzkriegmj))

Keep em coming.

[Radeon]

Also the 10 min. deposit and withdrawal is a big pain... u can still have it but make if for like 30 sec...If i have to get off soon, because my prents say so, i want to be able to get my banking done quick.

Real-world natural disasters affect game-play.. :)

- Windows style horizontal Sliding bar to convert resources instead of manual typing.

- Sliding bar to purchase troops instead of picking a value, then another, then another.

- When you click on a player name it brings up a last 10 attacks activity page like the "your main GEWAR page".

- Latest activity to include attacks outside a city.

[blitzkrieg]

- Ability to scout/spy incoming troops for a ranged strength value (like the time range).
http://www.googleearthhacks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2396&highlight=troop+strength

- Attack armies enruite to a city - intercept

- Ability to lay siege to a town - in some way, needs discussion.

[sinner]

An end to cheating...

(or someone pass me the Coles notes to how to cheat...)

I like to be able to build little forts outside your city so that must be attacked first .... kind of like a layered defence.

Also... enable it to make it easier for new players to get their first city - but offering smaller cities that only they can own.

AND MAKE IT EASIER TO MOVE YOUR HOME BASE!!! At a penalty of course... something like .. 100 geos to OUR GOD AND SAVIOR MICKEY to dispense to newbies - if you want to move your home base.... and you can only move it once..

and just to make life more complicated.... as in real life... the more men you have in a city... the greater the cost it will be to maintain them as the resources get drained.

so a tax .... some sort of ratio... for every 1000 men in a city ... the geo value received from that city goes down

[bueth]

a hard start for the top 10 players ;)

[Timmetie]

The ablility to shout into my microphone as to encourage my troops giving them a bonus.

and a bonus for the winning armies.

[blitzkrieg]

Has the well run dry?

Are we out of wishes?

Mickey, can you give us a teaser as to what is upcoming?

Cities should defenitely earn more from taxes. At the moment with the high cost of keeping troops it is not worth owning any cities (apart from three of four of the largest)

[-7thS-AnubiS]

This is an online game right? Well just think of how much a delay you going to get by the way you people are trying to make it into "warcraft III" or "Battlefield"?

All the suggestions are awesome i also would like them to be put into place but how will it effect your connection? Loading? Server strain? ect...

Bring on the "you a noob" replies...

Thanks

[Timmetie]

Y0 7H@ |\|0oBz0r!

and how do you mean we're trying to turn it into warcraft 3 or battlefield?

[blitzkrieg]

To help this, maybe there can only ba a maximum defense in a city. ie. a 1,000,000 population city can be defended with a maximum of 5000 troops or maybe the city income's worth of troops. It needs to be intergrated with the split/merge army function such that if you overtake a city and have leftovers of more than the city can sustain, then the leftovers are formed into a new army that sits outside the city waiting for orders.

I will post a discussion thread.

[blitzkrieg]

- Ability to choose the order of defending armies in a city.

[Orion1015]

How about outside email notification if troops are enroute to one of your cities?? Perhaps an option that you could enable?

[iricigor]

And of course statistics! There are many suggestions on this topic, but here's one new. Stats on alliances per alliance attacks - so that we can see after whom the biggest alliances are after. And more interesting who they are not after!

[cowtreky]

I would think by playing the game one should be able to figure this out. But none the less this idea is a great one. I second the vote.

[Billy Mac]

How about a sound alert when an army is on route to a city.
Maybe it can have a 10 or 15 minute interval with the pitch increasing the closer the army gets.
I could sleep easier that way.

Sorry Billy but that just sounds paranoid.

Sorry Billy but that just sounds paranoid.
Tell me that you aren't at least a little paranoid sleeping in a trench. :lol:

No worries about sleeping in a trench. Tell me are you?:confused:

[blitzkrieg]

:) I wish I could mod you.

Please keep this thread fairly streamlined and chatter free as I REALLY want Mickey to use this one to see what the people want.

thanks in advance,
blitzkrieg

[anthonywitt]

Blitz I havent looked but Mickey should post his plans for the coming Beta !!I.
he did this for the reset to beta II. Players could comment and make suggestions off of that thread. It would streamline very well.

[casp3r]

How about the ability to airlift your army(s) to a city, thereby making the travelling quicker - at a price of course.

Different types of armies - infantry, mechanised etc.

The ability to create navy vessels - transports, destroyers, cruisers, aircraft carriers etc. With the ability to attack (or defend) coastal cities.

And one I'd really be in favour of, and it has already been mentioned - email notification if an army is on it's way to one of your cities.

are you serious? that's a LOT of stuff, i think the server would have a total crashdown and that brings many, many holes with it. :slant: :dead:

[Timmetie]

not if done right :)

[blitzkrieg]

Timme keep the inane chatter down, suggestions only, if you want to discuss an idea someone has, post a new topic.

[Timmetie]

well im hurt that you say that blitz ;)

so ill just quickly post my ideas,

Bonusses for defending, bigger and winning armies!

and after that share my concern about how useless this is. Everything we say Mickey might already have done, or seen and decided against it, or deemed impossible. Or he's thinking alongside all around different lines.

so without feed-back we're shooting in the dark, and just making a really long christmass list that would rival any childs who hasnt a clue about how money works (to explain the metaphore, money here is Mickey's thoughtprocess :))

[blitzkrieg]

Well we can do naught but try, Timmetie.

@maxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxheimer - there are no problems only solutions.

Oh omnipotent deity, Mickey, please send us a sign that our slaughtered virgin was not in vain...

[Timmetie]

that was the virgin?

i wasn't supposed to roast and eat that right?

Edit*added roast..*

Offical-to-do-List

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mickey can your loyal beta testers be graced with a to do list for the up and coming brand new beta?

It would help keep the subject of beta upgrades streamlined for the readers to post suggestions. The first time this was done was great and the input was priceless.

Please.

[jokosr]

i would like to see the cost of the nuke shield go up to maybe 1000 geos since it cost 10,000 geos to get one..also if you buy a shield ,when you leave or lose the city, the shield is lost, so the next person must buy a new one....

[bueth]

hi here

what about contributing somehow?

[WalterNeff]

- Variable city size based on stability of ownership or amount of attacks (as mentioned earlier by blitzkrieg).
The larger the armies the heavier the fight, the greater the impact on the population.

- remove nuke shields or let them degrade (time/ownership of city changes)

- a nuke is a nuke is a nuke!
We are talking of nukes! Weapons of Mass Destruction! Not some backyard firecracker.

That is a bad joke:
This city is currently contaminated by nuclear radation and cannot be occupied for the next 25 hours, 47 minutes and 59 seconds.

One week or even one month would be better.

The fall-out could move (randomly) around the globe, making friends everywhere.

Comparing a nuked city to a cottage should be more appropriate.
If variable city sizes are introduced in the game, the loss in a nuked city should be tremendous.

The price for a nuke should rise by 10.

AND, there should be a massive drop in population after a nuking, fixable only by large expenditures of geos. I think I've said this before...

[Timmetie]

this would also require some city economics like factories, airports, ports, roads, workers, slaves, pyramids (wondering off now).

[Shadownation11]

Sorry if someone has already suggested this here, but how about cities growing in value over time, and when they are nuked this brings down the value, or maybe natural disasters could be dopwn there value to. Just like it would in real life, population in-creasing and de-creasing basicly.

[Shadownation11]

And if one owns all the cities in a country then they get extra tax for owning that country basicly.

Yes, that's been brought up.

I know, I know. You've got great ideas, but they've been thought of before, just not made it into the game yet. Keep at it though, and they'll have a better chance. ;)

[WILDCAT1976]

speaking of nukes and nuke shields...I think that if a city has a nuke shield you should have the option to nuke it anyways.....it hits the shield and then the shield is gone....if you and/or your alliance are willing to spend 20k to destroy a city..you should have that option....maybe even 2 nukes then shield goes away..


regardless...if you buy a nuke shield and you leave city (beaten or abandon) the nuke shield should go away then.
