The number of colonies is likey to be high, hence, I suggest not mixing time based grwth and investment based growth. Just keep them restricted to investments until they convert to a normal province.

[Skyrunner]

Ok, then I think I'll go with a "set amount of time, can 'buy' with investment" scheme.
Investment is a flat cost.



Right now, according to the stats, clippers rule in transport :3

Well, if 18th Century gets through, things can go bad real fast if a good history nut can take advantage of it.

Speaking of which, is Research gonna return in here?

I suggest altogether ignoring time based growth for colonies. Keeping track of that and investment simultaneously will require all the more work.

As for research, I do believe we are heading towards having different tech levels.

I believe he already said that there will be the normal technologies like "Ballistics" and you can research named technologies.

How much more work would it require? I mean it's only keeping track of how long it's been a colony, which shouldn't be so hard.

That depends on wheter growth is linear. If it is not, prepare for Fun: {(Base+Investmet)Growth]+Investment}Growth...

[Bdthemag]

I assume it'd be linear, but you could speed things up by pouring some money into the colony.

[Skyrunner]

@Azthor

Its a fixed amount per level :3

If I really wanted to make it a function, I always have Excel, which I heavily use in the Mabinogion.

Also, happy new year for those in the US!

To bad I am underage ...

If you use linear progression, yes, it is feasible, but then it'd be best if investment cost scaled faster with levels than the time cost, for balance purposes.

[adwarf]

Also Skyrunner where are we on my flying fleet of single cannon sloops appearing in this?

Wouldn't zeppelins do?

[Bdthemag]

I personally prefer realism in my games, thank you very much

But yeah Zeppelins would do in that case Adwarf.

[Azthor]

Any thoughts on a simple trade system, or is that overdoing it?

[CyberGenesis]

Ignore terenos, he's in - otherwise i'll be bored and have no one to stab in the eyes
