In “Currency” or “Products” (whichever of those two rules exists), between the first and second paragraphs, add a new paragraph:
Each Worker has a number of Prototypes (abbreviated to “Proto” on the dynastic tracking page), a publicly tracked nonnegative number.
Add a new type of Machine to the list in “Machines”:
Prototyper
- Cost: a Box with value greater than (and not equal to) the number of Prototypes the Worker owning this machine holds, plus a number of Cogs equal to the number of Prototypes the Worker owning this machine holds
- Effect: gain one Prototype.
This is intended to eventually become the basis of a victory mechanic – the first few Prototypes are very easy to make, but they get harder and harder to make as time goes on.
Instead of adding a victory condition immediately, though, I think it makes more sense to let people start working towards it, and later decide whether we like it and what the appropriate target should be.
too early to be discussing victory mechanics
Madrid:
Sounds good. I’d enjoy if Prototypes did something minimal to start with though, but it’s not compulsory for my greentick.
