Proposal:
To create a guild city.
This would be 1 city per guild (Capital) to have the guild’s palace (or something instead of town hall) and special buildings that serve the guild as a whole.
To be able to build/upgrade/demolish in this city you would need guild permission.
All buildings would be able to upgrade from lvl 1 (iron age) to lvl 12 (The Future) or even higher when later era’s come available.
Reason:
To get players more involved into actually working together as a guild outside of GvG.
And also I think this would be a nice addition to the game, something else to do and build up.
Details:
In the guild tab there will be 1 extra slot containing the guild’s city (Capital).
Accessible for everyone to look at but only the ones with permission are able to make changes to the city.
The main building would be the palace (or something instead of town hall at least).
The palace would start at lvl 1. It can be upgraded to lvl 2 with paying gold, supplies and goods from the guild’s treasury. (Yes this would mean also coins and supplies needs to be added to the treasury)
And I suggest a reconstruct time to get to lvl 2 once all is paid, not make it instant.
(suggestion of 24hours from lvl 1 to 2, 48 hours from lvl 2 to 3 etc.)
I would make the ability to upgrade the palace depend on the lvl of the guild.
The look of a lvl 1 palace would be Iron Age look, the look of a lvl 2 palace a EMA look etc.
The same goes for all other buildings within the city.
The buildings within the city would need a lvl 2 palace to upgrade to lvl 2 etc.
The space available to build on within the guild’s Capital can expand slightly with each new lvl reached.
I would make 1 expansion unit available for each lvl you upgrade to.
Then in addition to this I would make special guild quests to be able to get guild expansions.
I would also suggest making the amount and size of all available buildings to build within the Capital so that only 70% or so can be build due to space limitations.
This way choices have to be made!
I am going back and forth on how to implement the buildings.
Whether to be able to build lvl 1 buildings on lvl 1 palace and then need to replace them for lvl 2 buildings when the palace is lvl 2 (so completely rebuild) or just make them upgradable like the palace itself. I am leaning towards just making them upgradable, this would mean the buildings would have the same size throughout all ages though.
Here’s a list of buildings I’m thinking about:
(feel free to add anything to it or suggest changes)
Palace (main building instead of town hall in normal cities)
Engineers office ?(site of constructors making it possible to build other buildings within the city, so also a standard city for all guilds)
Staff homes (like normal homes in cities (without the coins), they provide workforce to work in the other buildings within the city, could come in variations perhaps, small/medium/large)
Embassy (creating a new tab in the guild’s overview making it possible to create alliances, declaring war and sign truces, lvl 1 makes this possible for IA GvG, lvl 2 for EMA GvG etc. Allied alliances would not be able to attack in that era, and goods traded between the guilds would also not cost fp's. Perhaps treasury goods could also be made possible to trade between allied guilds, not sure of the impact on this though.)
Central Administration Office (will open a new tab to the guild that actually gives an overview of who is producing what goods as well as a overview in total and also keeps a track record of who is donating what in terms of coins, supplies and goods)
Neighborhood Watch Initiative (provides a small defensive bonus in the neighborhood for all guild members)
Hall of Fame (same as the normal ones but slightly buffed)
Goods Conversion Center (making it possible to convert goods in the treasury to goods of another era (1 higher era or 1 lower era, ratio’s I’m not completely sure about yet…let’s say 2:1 for forward conversion and 0,5:1 for backwards conversion), this should be limited though, I suggest batches of 100, slightly increasing when this building is upgraded to a higher lvl, higher lvl building will also mean higher era goods can be converted, also this would take time like normal goods production buildings)
Central Intelligence Agency (This would give insight in who is attacking you in GvG (no matter if someone in your guild is in there hood or not) and will also provide a player employment history for all guild members and applicants and also the attacker in GvG if the building is a high enough lvl)
Tax Collectors Office (Will slightly boost all coins income for all guild members)
Tax Investigation Unit (Will slightly increase all supplies income for all guild members)
War Hall (Will slightly increase the attack values for all guild members)
Strategic Response Unit (Will increase the guild’s support pool)
Hospital (Will increase the healing time of all units for all guild members, lvl 1 up to Iron Age, lvl 2 up to EMA etc.)
Police Department (Will increase happiness for all guild members)
Fire Department (Will increase happiness for all guild members)
Science Center ( Will create fp’s for all guild members, fp’s collectable daily at members own town hall daily)
Creativity Center ( Will provide GB blueprints for all guild members, the era the bp is from will depend on the lvl of the Creativity Center, the blueprint will be collectible from this building itself, say 1 bp every 2 days)
* Recruitment/Draft Center (Will reduce the training time of troops for all guild members)
* Central Bank (Will give interest on the coins, supplies and goods that are in the guild treasury)
Note:
This list is a work in progress.
I’d like to see the attack/defense bonus the be so that same ratio’s of the current bonuses available are uphold if you’d build all of them and max out their lvl.
Not sure whether to implement the Engineer’s office but I’ve put it out there.
Once again feel free to suggest changes or add anything to this list.
Visual Aids:
I have no visual aids I’m sorry
Balance:
I see this as an addition to the game as it is and will engage players more into guild collective goals (I hope). Specially if they’re not active in GvG, they’re still able to score Guild points with the Guild HOF in the guild’s Capital.
Will need to be careful to balance the provided bonuses along the same lines as the things are now balanced.
The difference in this balance would need to come from the choices made of what buildings within the guild’s Capital is being build, and of course the speed of development of the Capital. (as said before the amount of buildings being able to be build should be limited so choices need to be made what building is build and what not)
The amount of goods used for GvG as well as the amount of coins, supplies and goods used for personal development will now also be used for development of the guild's Capital.
The benefit of the development should exceed the cost of it, but not in a overpowering way.
This will need to be worked out!
Abuse Prevention:
Don’t see how this idea in general will create abuse, if anyone else does please say so.
There are questionable benefits to some of the buildings, for example the embassy opens up diplomacy and trades between guilds. This could encourage guild creations purely to support 1 guild, to combat this we could only allow 1:1 of the same era exchanges of goods.
Summary:
A guild Capital that provides the ability the get bonuses guild wide and gives guild members something else to work collectively on outside of GvG.
Have read the idea’s what I implemented here under Embassy and CIA in other threads, if any (or all) of my other ideas have been mentioned before I’m sorry I failed to mention it here but I’m not active that long in the forum and haven’t read the majority of the threads yet.
Feel free to suggest any changes and or additions.
If you leave a -1 or +1 please explain why so I can work with it.
If the general idea get's traction I will keep working on it.
