Special Powers?

StarWolf wrote:Special powers are used by 4 different factions. Each has unique special power. And to activate it you have to wait 7 days then it becomes activate.

Hualu - Economy Expolosion - Increase income rate by 200% for 24 ticks.
Daning - Warheads Armanets - Increase Strike action by 15% for 24 ticks.
Miyira - Missile Battle System - Increase Defense action by 20% for 24 ticks.
Kyora - Blackbird - Increase Covert Action by 25% for 24 ticks.

Just an idea...

This distribution would be more fair and equitable.

ok we have to set a standard somewhere so let's say it would be that 20% strike for 1 day

but the defender only wants to increase the def when his def is getting destroyed, chances are that person will be offline when that happens so the bonus will not get even used in the first place.
but even if it could get activated automatically, the attacker could just stop, wait a day and come back

ok is there a way that the bonus could be diluted (lets say 5% bonus addition only) unless the person that he/she is attacking is online?

kyora is similar to daning so I guess that could somehow be fair

kyora needs smaller % (id say 10% boost) than the daning and miraya because with the way i see it kyora does not have to be diluted unless sabbing (dont want to give too big of an advantage over the people offline but at least some to make it worth your wild....so 7.5% boost )

the main problem starts here
90% of people would then pick the economy bonus and keep using it since, unless you're in a war, that economy bonus is better than all others.

hmmm. take out races all together and make it to where any race can pick any bonus and lower the income bonus to 5%

Dont take this as discouragement that I dont want your suggestions, but most of these ideas have already been suggested here or on similar games and they never materialized into something good and useful
What's missing is maybe some little thing that would make it a very good improvement to the game

(but as you can see on the other topics it's hard to even set up something as simple as sabotage or assaults so that people think it's fair)

Hualu produce more income per unit
Daning have more powerful strike units
Miraya have more powerful defensive units
Kyora have more powerful spy and assassin units

An example using Hualu as a base for the power setting you would then have
Danning Strike units 5% more powerful and other units the same power
Mirya Defense units 5 % more powerful and the other units the same power
Kyora Covert units 5% more powerful and the rest the same

I actually don't mind the idea, except for the fact that you keep giving an unfair advantage to Hualu, in many if not all of your game suggestions. Why not make it even across the groups, so
Hualu - gets a 20% boost to Economy for a day
Daning - gets a 20% boost to Strike for a day
Miraya - gets a 20% boost to Defense for a day
Kyora - gets a 20% boost to Spy & Assassin for a day

This distribution would be more fair and equitable.

all that does is practically give even more power to pbp. i have been thinking and cant really figure out a good way of giving each race a choice to use a superweapon without overpowering their already powered up strengths. any idea?

make it so it effects 1 of the 3 "other" stats, not their "main" stat?

So danning can use a weapon to boost Covert, assassin, or defense, but not strike,etc etc, etc
