New game suggestion: quality of resources

[Speaker Faris Wheeler]

For more competition, we should have quality resources

 

Poor I:

Average II:

Good III:

Great III|:

Excellent IIIII:

 

The better quality the resources the less of that Resource to use, and more expensive.

And to improve that resource you should put a different basic resource to refine, or manufacture.

 

I think that this is a good way to make the game more competitant, as well as making money.

[Geronimo]

I don't think this is an excellent idea. Simple is better.

[Destroyer]

I would too say 'Simple is better'

[Dolphman]

(I do not know the actual code, but I have a good idea on how this game functions). This isnt really possible, if done it would require a re-doing of many parts of the game. Their are cheap ways to do this, but they would have to be unfair, couldnt be transferred to other nations. Also, this would required whole-numbers to do it. One of cheap way is to randomly decide chunks of the resources and store then in the database under iron-cheap, iron-okay, iron-complex. Basically over-complicating this game. Their are only so many ways to do this, perhaps increase you chance of getting good resources by adding building improvements.

 

over-complicated. This game runs on simplicity.

I'm unclear about what would determine the quality of produced resources. Are you saying there should be diminishing returns on mines?

[Aisha Greyjoy]

I don't think we need adhere to "simple is always better", but I'm not sure I see the value of differentiating "good coal" from "bad coal".  How does a "bad coal" nation make "good coal"?
