Proposal: That one video game I really liked

Create a new dynastic rule named “Pods” with the following body:

The Underground is a publicly tracked 10x10 grid. A square in The Underground may be referred to as a Pod. Each Pod has an Owner, which is a publicly tracked value that defaults to None and a Type, which is a publicly tracked value that defaults to None.

If a Pod’s Owner is set to the name of a Baron, then that Baron may be said to own that Pod. If a Baron does not own any Pods, they may Open a Base, which is an atomic action with the following steps:

* Choose a Pod that has its Owner set to None
* Set that Pod’s Owner to your username
* Set that Pod’s Type to Base

Putting in the foundations for a Dungeon Keeper-esque game

Man, I love Dungeon Keeper but grids in BN are always such a pain…

I’ll likely vote against this as I am not familiar enough with the source material to know where this is going.

I don’t have experience with those, what’s so bad about them?

against Hmmmm… I wonder if we might do this a different way…

against Given the hesitancy to use a grid system (not sure why), might be best to simply abstract locations and focus on other aspects of gameplay.
