Proposal: Military Industrial Complex

Self-killed ~ southpointingchariot

Adminned at 20 Mar 2012 21:28:49 UTC

Change, in the rule “Institutions” the text:

The Legion: When a player Influences the Legion, they gain 2 Power and 1 Marine.

to

The Legion: When a player Influences the Legion, if they directed no marines to the Legion that cycle, they gain 2 Power and 1 Marine.

Append to the same rule the text:

The Rebels: When a player Influences the Rebels, if they directed no marines to the Rebels that cycle, they gain 2 Marines and lose 1 Power and 1 Councilman.

If the majority of EVCs on this proposal include the text “I thought that might be confusing”, change, in the rule Directions, the text

A Player may not Direct more Resources than they have

to

A player may not, in a single Cycle, Direct more than they possess of any Resource to all Institutions combined.

Part of a series of planned reforms to avoid loops, pick up the pace, and address ambiguities.

I don’t like the idea of not being able to use marines on the Legion and Rebels, I’d like to see how things start off before making a change like that.

against as the Rebels don’t require having power or councilmen.

I thought that might be confusing.
