Las Vegas

[blitzkrieg]

The idea of the bank city has been agreed to as a bonus city, now what about bringing back the conversation of Las Vegas as a casino bonus town. It could work that a percentage of the troops created money spent goes toward the owner of Las Vegas.

Work with me here, there were previous thoughts about banks being exploited by alliances if they used a system where a percentage on top of a transfer would go to the owner of the bonus, therefore the alliance would constantly transfer money between each other to gain that bonus. Mickey hasn't confirmed anything, but I believe that issue has been addressed.

Similarly, I don't think that the buy troops bonus could be exploited because once the troops are bought, you can't sell them back and you have to pay upkeep on them. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. So if you buy 1000 troops a bonus of 1 geo gets paid to the owner of Las Vegas for example.

Thoughts?

The more bonus cities the better IMHO

Then we should make the bonus work so that (out of 100 geos) 95 goes to the person, and 5 goes to the bonus city. That way, no money is pulled out of nowhere. Good point on that...that WOULD have been an evil problem. :whoa:

Not necessarily, it could be said that troops on R+R go to casino with the money they are paid... therefore the geos are just coming out of food to feed their binary children... it would still cost 75 geos to buy 1000 troops and a extra "thin air" bonus would go to owner of LV.

I wouldn't just buy troops to give bonus to LV because I still have to pay upkeep on the troops....

Maybe it could be out of upkeep geos (again assuming R+R spending of troops).

More bonus cities!

When I saw the title, I thought someone was going to suggest a gambling "game" and that the owner of Las Vegas would get a cut. Now that would be cool.

You know, the troop bonus city could be any of a lot of other cities around. San Francisco because it's home to West Point and Starfleet Academy, for instance.

I also think we should make a few more bonus cities.. Like las vegas.. Also has mickey thought up the bonus city for the bank yet???

with too much bonus cities there's not going to be much bonus isnt there, especially as the things you get a % off arn't really flowing with an economy right now.
