Nomics should not depend on RL conditions.

@Keba: You only joined in Kevan’s sixth dynasty, right? Please take a look at Qwazukee’s dynasty. Or even Wakukee’s.

Yeah, unless there’s a good reason not to use a tool, then we might as well use it. It’s not like the weather is easily manipulatable.

Well, I will “read” them tomorrow, because reading a complete dynasty takes lots of time, if you want to knower whether it was a good one…

But don‘t want my Electricity amount depending on the weather in England.

Finally: Are there stormings in England in March/April? Really?

Infrequently. But it’s not supposed to be a common resource. Perhaps if you get two kittens you can rub them together?

Pro tip: your odds are better further north.

@Keba: Just read their rulesets (specifically, dynastic rules).

Living in the UK myself, we’re rather unlikely to get lightning for several months (it’s more common in the summer). April is mostly rain…

Earlier dynasties shouldn’t set a precedent for what is and isn’t appropriate. Let alone what an individual player should or shouldn’t think is a good idea.

It’s a nice idea, but I’m getting a little suspicious of your thirst for the ability to perform potentially unlimited Regalia Actions, Josh. (Your last proposal tried to do a similar thing.)

@ Kevan - unless you think I can harness lightning I wouldn’t worry.

Given that we’re unravelling the Liberation mechanic, it would be nice if there were some actual substance to the Invasion mechanic instead. If you’re going to reflexively suspect everything I propose, why don’t you suggest something instead?

@Josh: I don’t know if you can harness lightning, I’m just not really sure where you’re going with tacking on an unexplained “players with lots of resources can conquer extra counties” mechanic, when you say you’re just having a stab at reimplementing Darth’s idea.

I’m not sure if this is an issue with an us-vs-them type dynasty. I’m all for making Invasion more interesting and balanced, I’m just naturally suspicious when the enemy are proposing something which could potentially be built into a war machine that could conquer the entire country in five minutes.

@ Kevan: an unexplained “players with lots of resources can conquer extra counties” mechanic - that’s more than a bit disingenuous. Overall levels of resources are meaningless to this proposal, as extra conquering capacity is depended entirely on Electricity, which everyone has an equal chance of obtaining.

The truth is, I reused the do-actions-again mechanic because I wanted to propose Electricity, I wanted to include an applied example in the proposal and the mechanic was already on my mind. I’m not very bright, thinking up new ideas takes me a while. Personally, I’d be far more likely to spend my lecky on a Generator, which is much more broken.

I think this may be a problem with the adversarial component of this dynasty, though - although it seems a bit soon to be reflexively suspicious. Not only is there not yet a victory condition, there are also in fact no adverse consequences to “losing” the invasion - sure, the invading army can disrupt trade routes during its advance, but once it HAS advanced Loyalists can still use the trade routes that are entirely within occupied territory. I do expect the partisan scrutiny, but later, when I know what I’m supposed to be scamming towards :P

In any case: I can assure you that this proposal has, to my knowledge, no covert advantage to either side specifically; furthermore, its overt advantages offer no intrinsic benefit to one side or the other. As far as I know, that is.

Of course, I could be lying.

Favours people who don’t mind writing scripts to repeatedly hammer the BBC’s servers, and I don’t want to inflict that on them.

Cov to . Whoever gets Electricity first can immediately Wage War 5 times. That seems broken.

Sorry, I meant
