Add the following to the rule Fleshmancy:
Once between each Beat, but not as a Beat action, each Demiurge may double the Health of each Phalanx for whom they are the owner.
A quick anti-stockpiling measure - spending your Beat Actions early makes for stronger long-term outcomes.
A good idea, but a bit opaque if the only way to see if a rival is still able perform this during a given Beat is to comb through four days of wiki history. Could we make it part of every Beat Action (which would make it even more anti-stockpiling)?
[Kevan] “could we make it part of every Beat Action”
if you mean making this happen every time you do a beat action, that just… goes entirely against the anti-stockpiling nature of this proposal
I don’t think this is the right way to do anti-stockpiling, since this just encourages stockpiling phalanxes, not beat actions
plus, “once between each beat” could still be scammable

I really don’t see how without the kind of linguistic contortion that BN seems to be only occasionally fond of
[Brendan] 2 to the power of 10 is 1024
if the expected lifespan of a dynasty is a month, maybe 8-10 beats?
[Josh] was thinking of something like doubling between past beats since as far as I can tell, there’s nothing that prevents that
My own scam here would be that Beat isn’t defined in the ruleset. The closest is Beat Action and we could end up with a dozen of those each Heartbeat. That’s a lot of opportunities to double.

The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

How many Beats are we expecting? What’s 2^10 again?

“Once per Beat”
i’m pretty sure that also applies retroactively so if the heartbeat is at 3 for example, you can double your phalanx’s health three times
even if that isn’t the case, I don’t like this since all it does is change the thing you’re stockpiling
