Add the following new rule to the dynastic ruleset, called “Into The Storm”:
If the date is on or after August 28th 2023, The Storm is ongoing. While The Storm is ongoing, the following rules changes are under effect:
* Any district that is Abandoned may no longer gain People, React to Dilemmas, or become Idle.
* When Posing a Dilemma, the City randomly selects six Downsides instead of two, and assigns the first three to the first Outcome and the last three to the second Outcome.
* When Reacting to a Dilemma with more than two Downsides, a District applies each Downside of the selected Outcome to themself.
* Whenever a District’s Order level is reduced, two randomly-selected Downsides are immediately applied to that District.
* If every District is Abandoned except for one, or if the date is on or after September 4th 2023, the District with the most People has achieved victory (in the case of a tie, only the tied player with the most Defences achieves victory).
inspired by the video game Frostpunk, here’s an idea for a victory condition: we’ll be spending the next three weeks preparing for The Storm, and when it comes, we will face hardships so severe that they will knock us out of the game, one by one!! it will be a test of endurance and our preparation; the last district left alive will remain to pick up the pieces and breathe life into the city after The Storm passes — or, if more than one district manages to survive a full week, the survivor with the most people wins (to avoid a stalemate or unnecessarily drawn-out conclusion)! i suspect we’ll want more special things going on during The Storm, to make it more deadly. that’s outside of the scope of this proposal, though :0
please consider this a general opinion check on this mechanic. if you like the overall idea, but don’t like some of my wording or timing, we’ll have three entire weeks (or more) to fix it!!
Good idea for a third act, although the general mood of “roll really big dice” does feel like we might be finding our winner through chance more than skill.
as going idle ought to be treated as a fundamental right. If you don’t want them to trigger Dormancy, turn off Dormancy during the Storm.
to the Fortnite enclosing-circle mechanic. Everything else can be fixed.

what happens if two people have the same amount of people AND defences?
