This thread is to suggest new projects to Politics and War. Please try and follow this design template: Project Name: Project Requirements: (If any) Project Cost: (Can be ball park or numbers/resources) Project Effect: EX: Project: Bureau of Domestic Affairs Requirements: Requires Government Support Agency Cost: $20,000,000 Food: 100,000 Aluminum: 10,000 Gas: 10,000 Steel: 10,000 Oil: 10,000 Coal: 10,000 Iron: 10,000 Effect: Timer for changing Domestic Policy reduced to 1 turn.

Popular Post darkblade Posted January 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Project Name: Fiber Internet Project Requirements: none Project Cost: money: $1,000,000,000 aluminum: 20,000 steel: 20,000 gasoline: 20,000 munitions: 20,000 Project Effect: Increases the commerce rate in each city by 10%, and increases the maximum commerce rate by 10% notes: The total cost of this project with today's resource prices is around 1.2b. For a city with 2500 infra (250,000 population) this would equate to $217,500 a day from the commerce rate added from the project. So in the case of a city 34 with 250,000 population per city ($7,395,000 for 34 cities), this would take around 162 days to reach ROI. I think the profits of this after ROI might be a bit too high so either increasing the resources required or lowering the commerce rate should help balance it.

darkblade Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Project Name: Anti-Tank Rockets Project Requirements: Propaganda Bureau Project Cost: money: $75,000,000 gasoline: 12,500 munitions: 12,500 Project Effect: Reduces the casualties of the first defensive ground attack of the war by 50% (this project cannot be combined with Anti-Aircraft) Project Name: Anti-Aircraft Project Requirements: Propaganda Bureau Project Cost: money: $75,000,000 gasoline: 12,500 munitions: 12,500 Project Effect: Reduces the casualties of the first defensive air attack of the war by 50% (this project cannot be combined with Anti-Tank Rockets) note: This should help with blitzes a bit by giving the defensive side a bit more breathing room with the initial attacks. I wonder if this could be implemented to where instead of the first attacks, it would reduce it entirely, thus forming a meta where you need to exploits their weakness (GA those who don't have A-TR, and air attack those who don't have A-A). I think a test server tournement would be needed to see the viability of it but I think it would make things interesting in general warfare.

Jacob Knox Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 MEGA POST The purpose of this comment is to grab and dump project suggestions made in the Suggestions subforum so they can be in one place like the QoL mega-thread. Unspecified fields will be left blank. I will try not to include changes to current projects, projects to the effect of those already implemented, and projects already in posts made by Pre. Furthermore, I am trying to order it to where the seemingly most viable and accepted are toward the top, the vague are around the middle, and the objectively unviable/rejected toward the bottom. Included: November 21st, 2021 to Today (16 projects) Counter Intelligence Agency Project Requirements: Central Intelligence Agency and Spy Satellite Project Cost: $350m, 50k steel, and 50k aluminum Project Effect: Lower the chances of a successful operation toward your nation by around 15%, increases the chances of you knowing who did the op by around 20%, and possibly adds a self operation where you can have a chance of being able to reveal who may have done 1 of the previous ops against your nation within the past 24 hours. Advanced Raiding Equipment Project Requirements: Looted more than a set amount ($2b and $5b were tossed around). Project Cost: FREE (rewarded) Project Effect: The effect will be that you loot 10% more of everything in every raid war you do. Federal Reserve Project Cost: $100m, 5k uranium, 7.5k gasoline, 5k steel, 7.5k aluminum, and 3.5k munitions Project Effect: Reduces amount of resources stolen from alliance bank when your nation is defeated in war by 2%. Protects a limited amount of resources held within your nation from being stolen when defeated in war. Radar Satellite Project Requirements: Space Program, Iron Dome, and Vital Defense System Project Cost: $90m, 10k aluminum 10k steel, 10k gasoline, and 10k uranium Project Effect: Increases your chance of intercepting missiles from 50%-70% and nukes from 25%-35%. Guiding Satellite Project Requirements: Space Program, Missile Launch Pad, and Nuclear Research Facility Project Cost: $90m, 10k aluminum 10k steel, 10k gasoline, and 10k uranium Project Effect: Increases damage from nukes and missiles. Geographic Information Systems Satellite Project Requirements: Space Program, International Trade Center, Telecommunications Satellite Project Cost: $70m, 10k aluminum, 10k gasoline, and 5k uranium Project Effect: Increases overall production by 5%. International Space Station Project Requirements: Space Program Project Cost: $150k, 50k aluminum, 50k gasoline, 50k steel, 10k iron, 10k uranium, and 100k food Project Effect: Cosmetic/achievement like Moon Landing. Biohazard Preventative Measures Project Effect: Reduces the timer of the effects nuclear attacks have on cities by half. Raw Resource Projects (like Uranium Enrichment Program) - also suggested here Project Effect: Boosts production of raw resources like Uranium Enrichment Program does for uranium. Enhanced Baseball Stadium Project Project Effect: Raises daily baseball income cap back to $4m, but requires you to watch ads after each $1m earned. Looting Food During War Project Project Effect: Ability to loot small amounts of food from enemy soldiers' rations during ground attacks. Stock Exchange Establishment Project Requirements: City 28 Project Cost: 3m food, 40k steel, 40k aluminum, 20k munitions, and $350m Project Effect: A 50% increase in nation revenue, and resource revenue, added with a 200k population increase? or improving efficiency of banks, stadiums and malls? Genetically Modified Organisms Project Requirements: Clinical Research Center, Green Technologies, and Nuclear Research Facility Project Effect: Negative modifiers to food production is reduced by 20% or capped at 70%, whichever is lower. Guided Munition System - received poor response from the community Project Requirements: Telecommunications Satellite Project Cost: $30,000,000, 2,000 steel, 2,000 aluminum Project Effect: Guided Munition System is a national project that allows power plants to be a targetable category when firing missiles. Anti-Ship Project - received poor response from the community Project Effect: An anti-ship missile project which allows the making of anti ship missiles and allows the defenders planes target ships (?). Urban Sprawl - most likely a sh!tpost Project Cost: 60k steel, 60k aluminum, 60k gasoline, and $500m Project Effect: Increases future city costs by 10% and can be bought multiple times (1 = 10%, 2 = 20%, etc). Mainly to brag and show off badges on cities bought with project effect. 6 Federation of Knox Enlightened of Chaos, Event Horizon QA Team and API Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketya Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Project Name: Nuke something Project Requirements: None Project Cost: $250M Project Effect: Allows a second nuke to be produced everyday. …. after being on the losing side for three wars 😂 3 hours ago, darkblade said: Project Name: Fiber Internet Project Requirements: none Project Cost: money: $1,000,000,000 aluminum: 20,000 steel: 20,000 gasoline: 20,000 munitions: 20,000 Project Effect: Increases the commerce rate in each city by 10%, and increases the maximum commerce rate by 10% notes: The total cost of this project with today's resource prices is around 1.2b.

I think it should follow standard of past projects (50m -> 100m -> 150m), so it should be 200m off 2. I disapprove of the added benefit of increasing population 3. More food cost? Ugh. 4.

You need to take into account the exponential increase of cities at that range. The discounts are going to have to follow something similar to make them worth it otherwise they are going to go unused. I've added an image to show what a nation pays out of pocket for each city following the earliest available opportunity to purchase a specific project. 2. Why? It fits that an orbital habitat would eventually be a center for a population boom beyond the normal migration from surface to station dwellers. What I'm suggesting amounts to about $1M a day for my nation, which is also negligible. 3. In the last few months the amount of food has risen from 1bn to over 3bn. We need it to keep us from choking on it. 4. I'm not really okay with that. I was going for a futuristic man leaving earth kinda feel. 5. Oh please.

You calculations for C22 and the new proposed cost for C29 are wrong (and yes, I also excluded GSA and did the same calculations as you). C22 w/ all projects and MD is $98,063,750.00 (24.32% remaining cost) and C29 (with your proposition) would be $440,253,750.00 (44.54% remaining cost). If you changed it to fit with the other projects, which would be c26 eligibility and $200m discount, then C27 would be $270,963,750.00 (34.51% remaining cost). So it's actually more beneficial to make it conform with the other projects than go with your suggestion (for reference, C29 with conformity would be 46.94% remaining cost, so not far off). 2. Mainly for conformity with the other city planning projects. 3. shrug frankly don't have much of a rebuttal for this point, and I don't feel like going back and forth on it anyway lol 4 and 5 were mainly jokes, so yeah.

I appreciate you point out that slip. Appears I entered 21 instead of 22 in the city cost tool. I've attached the corrected sheet. The figure issue for C29 is on Alex. If you use the helpful tools and check all the boxes (except GSA), it renders a value of 654,003,750.00 instead of the $ 639,003,750.00. Additionally, thanks for the insight. I now leave it up to the development team to fine tune and enact as they see fit. Edited March 22, 2023 by Malakai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegoz Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Project Name: Domestic Policy Fund (Type) Project Requirements: GSA Project Cost: Should be around 100m cost (resources/cash) Project Effect: There would be 6 projects, each giving a 100% boost to a single domestic policy modifier.

Hm... but the first one would provide the same level of power as a nuclear power plant if someone has 20 farms and 4k land and the second one would provide 3k power for someone with 4k land. That seems incredibly unbalanced and removes all need for farming whales to buy uranium and just further allows them to go inactive, so I fail to see how it is beneficial to the game as a whole.
