Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called Commons:
There exist a number of Commons, all of which are detailed in this rule. Each District may be connected to a number of Commons up to its population divided by 100, rounded up; the Commons to which each District is connected are publicly tracked. A District may establish a connection to a Common at any time, provided that they meet the population criteria, but once established, such a connection may not be broken.
The available Commons are:
The Grazing Lands
The Deserted Barracks
Shrine to Iclaseer
Shrine to OseeleAs a daily action, a District may Gather. Gathering is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Calculate n, where n is the number of days since they last Gathered, or the number of days since the most recent Ascension Address was posted if they have yet to Gather in this dynasty;
* Gain n * 0.1 Food for each connection that District has to the Grazing Land, rounded to the nearest whole number;
* Gain n * 0.1 Defences for each connection that District has to the Deserted Barracks, rounded to the nearest whole number;
* Randomly select one Concequence and apply it. For each connection that district has to a Shrine of Iclasser, randomly select and apply one additional Concequence. For each connection that District has to a Shrine of Oseele, randomly select and apply one Downside Concequence.
Good directions otherwise, but I would probably push to nudge Gathering into the Dilemmas somehow.
since I have concerns about the 101 population breakpoint, and the possibility of consistent growth rather than mere shuffling may be inconsistent with the theme and direction of the dynasty, but the degree to which those matter depends on the imperial vision.
Kevan: he/him
Dilemmas will be happening once per day, so I think anything that you’d want to be a regular-ish action could just be framed as part of that that.
Either literally creating an Upside that just says “Gather”, or (since this may get crowded out by too many other Upsides later on) having a multipurpose Upside called “Command” or something, where choosing that outcome allows the player to pick one action from a list, including Gather.
