Natural Disasters

[Ekejen Luish]

So, I was thinking like every turn, there's a really small chance your nation will be hit with a natural disaster. And, if your country was, say, on the coast of a continent, there could be hurricanes or typhoons or something. And if you lived on land, there could be earthquakes. Basically, it would just be this:

 

-Every turn, there's a chance a natural disaster will occur in your nation

-Chooses a random city, then destroys some infrastructure and some improvements.

-Switches to beige color for a day or two, so that leader can repair cities without being attacked.

-Says something in notifications like, "An earthquake occurred in your city of [City Name]. It destroyed 63.49 Infrastructure and 2 improvements. Your nation was switched to beige color."

 

I just thought this would make it a little more realistic.

i kind of like the idea of random event, not only natural disaster, we need to have some positive event as well, such as bountiful harvest season or etc.

 

And also maybe limit it to maybe once a week / month - NOT every turn please, otherwise everyone will get their chance to be hit by disaster soon or later.

[Ekejen Luish]

Okay, I like the idea of positive random events.

 

Also, if the chance was every turn, it would be like 0.5% chance or something crazy small like that. Highly unlikely to happen twice in a row. In fact, it's highly unlikely to happen at all.

[Hooves]

I believe this was on Sheepy's plan to do list. I remember him talking about random occurrences.

[Kastor]

I believe this was on Sheepy's plan to do list. I remember him talking about random occurrences.

Most of the stuff we ask for are on Sheepy's to do list.

[El Commander]

I wuz kinda stoned when I read this, and it made me lol. Nice ideas thouh!

[Willam von Waldreich]

I like the idea of random events, it would make the game more interesting and keep you on your feet expecting something new for your nation. But I think there should be more then just Disasters. Maybe have some more positive events happen too, to kinda balance it out. Plus instead of loss of infrastructure or improvements maybe simply something that would lessen your population count for a few days, or lower your income for a few days.

 

Shoot if you want to add it to where you can make a choice to handle the situation and each choice have a consequence with it. 

[Dr Rush]

& percentages are in terms of what?

[Tumnus]

natural disasters should move across the worldmap and effect nations by picking random areas 

[Conner Temple]

If we get these, there should be some Project's to help dampen the effect or even drop the chances and damages done to you.

 

Earthquake-Proof Buildings

Helps lessen the damage caused by earthquakes by up 60%.

Cost-$10,000,000 300 steel 300 iron 200 aluminium

 

Underground Housing

Helps lessen the damage done by tornadoes and hurricanes by up to 50%.

Cost-$15,000,000 500 steel 500 aluminium 1,500 food

 

Emergency Food Deposit

Decreases all losses in food during a disaster by up to 50%

Cost-$7,500,000 5,000 food

 

Weather Satellite

Gives you a 6 turn warning of Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Floods and Tsunami, to help you prepare better.

Costs- $30,000,000 1,000 steel 1,000 aluminium 250 uranium 1,000 gasoline

 

Water Towers

Wildfires do up to 75% less damage.

Costs- $4,000,000 500 steel 500 aluminium

 

MIB HQ

Alien invasions has a 4.5% chance to ignore your nation, and a 0.7% chance to attack a nation of your choice.

$35,000,000 500 munitions 1,500 steel 1,500 aluminium 500 oil

 

Of course, this is subject to change as some of the percentages, benefits and costs are either too much or too little.

[Lilac Veritas]

An interesting idea, but having hurricanes be based upon how close you are to the ocean is a bad idea, we shouldn't allow the mechanics to disadvantage players based upon RP. It could be balanced by making whether a hurricane hits you or an earthquake purely cosmetic based upon location (after all, earthquakes are less extreme near the ocean as energy is lost in the water)

[Dr Rush]

Implementing common ideas as a single module is not only acceptable it is advisable.

 

 

chances in orbis

This did not answer my question. Are we talking game years, days, seconds what?

[Conner Temple]

first you need the disasters in the game, your thinking ahead.

When has forward thinking been bad?

[Conner Temple]

The main disasters each happen once on Orbis, it doesn't have to be in a nation. Also, an Orbis weather map would be cool.

-Thunderstorm: Depends on season: spring:6% winter:5%(turns into blizzard) summer:3% Autumn:4% Destroys up to 100 infra and 3 improvements. Length of disaster: 24 turns. (%=chance per 6 turns in your nation)

Special disasters:

Alien invasion: 0.001% chance on orbis: Destroys up to 250 infra and 5 improvements in every nation. Also send sends aliens to attack every nation

Asteroid strike: 0.001% chance on orbis: Destroys up to 200 infra and 4 improvements in every nation.

solar flare: 0.0009% chance on orbis: Destroys up to 1000 infra and 10 improvements in 2 days.(for 2 days every nation will suffer from fire and heat)

Orbiswide Storm: 0.009% chance on orbis: Destroys up to 500 infra and 5 improvements in every nation. (pretty  much a C-5 Hurricane in every nation)

Planetary Collision: 0.0009%  chance on orbis: Destroys up to 1000 infra and 10 improvements in 2 days.(for 2 days every nation will suffer from nuclear effects)

Magnitude 10.5 earthquake: 0.009  chance on orbis: Destroys up to 200 infra and 4 improvements in 2 days.

 

Super-Volcanic eruption: 0.009%  chance on orbis: Destroys up to 1000 infra and 10 improvements in 2 days.(for 2 days every nation will suffer from fire and heat)

If an asteroid is added, there should be an event where the entire Orbis could be united and help each other to destroy the asteroid, like getting a money and resource goal or something else.

This should make your location choose better so maybe players in western america there storms sometimes hit can get some kind of benefit idk

Plz sheppy plz add this

[Moreau]

Maybe also global dieases like (just a example) Ebola

And a global disaster screen where you can donate to a nation wich have had an natrial disaster and pay to research on a cure

[Jude Connors]

Why are you all trying to ruin the game?

[Ekejen Luish]

I hope Canada gets destroyed by a natural disaster.

 

Not in RL. In game.

[Moreau]

I hope Canada gets destroyed by a natural disaster.

 

Not in RL. In game.

Lol

[Luke the 13th]

I don't think natural disasters should turn people to beige. I understand the idea, but it doesn't seem particularly realistic or punishing to get hit by natural disasters. Maybe a nation could receive aid to help rebuild.

I'm not sure you know how thunderstorms work.

[Ekejen Luish]

Yes thunderstorms don't cause 100 infra damage, unless they last for extremely long times and pour down loads of rain, in which case it would be a flood.

[Dr Rush]

We can tell, with those odds your looking at a major disaster every couple days & a global disaster every couple months

[Nadir Aminu]

Yeah I wrote that in like 5 min so I Kinda wrote random things that don't make sense. YA KNOW WHY? CUZ I'M CRAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYY

 

Again, what is Orbis coming to? 

[Moon Man]

with the disease one, you should be able to research pathogens after creating some kind of national project. Perhaps the project should cost a load of money, but it allows you to convert money into disease research. Gaining this project would then allow you to create another project called the bio-warfare project. This would be even more expensive than the first project, but it would allow you to weaponize diseases and use them against the enemy. Diseases could be dispersed upon the enemy in a number of ways. Firstly, it could be released via espionage action. It could also be dispersed in the air via an airstrike, or through a payload in a missile. The infection will spread among the nation, gradually killing off the population for a max of 5 days. If anybody attacks the infected nation with soldiers, there is a chance that the disease could be spread to them.
