SmokingSober Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I already know this is going to get some hate but have we considered making Missiles continental? Meaning you can only launch a missile at nations on your continent? Same goes for ground forces (Soliders, Tanks) Ships, aircraft and nuclear weapons would remain intercontinental, so you could hit anyone with them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Whats the point? besides making missiles less useful? Why go continental? We all have a spot on the map, why not make missile range like 2.5k miles, and then make a project that can increase the range of missiles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it's ridiculous having an entire army travel the world and back in 2 seconds I like your idea too though, giving a range to missles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realism is not a thing and I doubt you'll be able to convince people to support any changes based on it. If you want to convince people to support your change you have to explain how it will improve the game play. What will it add to it? How will it make the game more enjoyable to play? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess it'd be a huge overhaul to touch that mechanic for the change I'm talking about. Still though, moving continents can be costly and I'd rather someone have to put in the effort of moving if they want to put full force on me.

It adds depth The game is currently build around the fact that the only thing your position the map means is what resources you have access to. You can currently instantly attack anywhere in the world. You can currently instantly trade with someone anywhere in the world. You can currently instantly play baseball against a team anywhere in the world. Making the position of a nation matter isn't adding depth, it is making a new game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 To be fair, zoot has been playing for over 2300 days, and you have been playing for 1 day, and during that time have not engaged in a single war. Feel free to keep tossing ideas out, but for you to assume that your change would improve the war system or help new players is a little suspect as you have yet to engage in the war mechanics of this game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adds a little more depth to war and helps newer nations. The depth argument, because it adds an additional metric to take into account when planning wars, and what types of attacks to use, I could see as one argument that could be made. Even if I disagree with the quality of the argument. But how does it help newer nations? You can have an opinion, but without any explanation, it's one opinion vs. another. I have to agree with Zoot that changes like you are recommending fundamentally change the style & type of game PnW is. It's like if you suggested in checkers to start with difference pieces that move in different ways, and attack with different strength. At that point you're talking about some variation of chess. Not really checkers. As well to have a limitation for missiles; the one unit that actually can cross borders, and not for soldiers is silly if the point is to increase realism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiki Mod Dr Rush Posted April 8, 2021 Wiki Mod Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yes, lets definitely add this and bring about the age of blob warfare.
