Marketplace/Resource

I was thinking (and mentioned in chat) that the game devs could implement a natural disaster element to the game, where ever now and again, certain resources stop providing for everyone - and no more becomes available for a short while.

This would add a touch of realism to the game, but also have a great effect on things in the marketplace - it would be interesting to see how the prices change when a resource suddenly starts drying up for a short while.

I think this is a good idea, other than Crops. While I understand Famine is a realworld issue, if there was suddenly zero crop production, people with Big Armies would lose everything...

that would be a nice suggestion
everyone should get a warning before it happens to stock up on recources
i would like it because peoples armies come out and ill get prestige

bring famine to the game!!!

Yeah, losing all your crops would be devastating... especially if you had no reserves.



Perhaps it could be scaled, so for example it meant you only got 10% of your production for 12 hours or something

maybe the zombies can come and they will randomly attack ur city and they r really strong so u have to have a good army to win
and u can see them wondering on the map lol

This would also solve the constant degradation if the value of resources in the marketplace, because values would constantly be skyrocketing and declining. This would also make people filthy rich if they use their resources correctly

this is one reason why i have a war city and two resource cities in case i ever lose my resources

Exactly ZergHive - would stop the market aspect stagnating...

Do any of the actual game designers browse these forums?

yes, the devs read all of the suggestions
