“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

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

Oh, yes, confused myself there.

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

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

[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

How would that be “between each beat”?

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.
