Christian and I need some help with ideas for the naval game. We need to brainstorm some building ideas for the builder hero, here is what we have:
Farm to provide food (3 levels, used for better buildings)
Mine to provide gold (3 levels, personal gold)
Secret harbour (2 different ultimate ships)
Black market for advanced items
3 building for the research (imperial UPG, Items UPG, Ship UPG)
Lumbermill (Allows to build defenses)
Forge (upgrades defenses)
Market (5 levels, increases gold allotment by 10%)
Counterfit Bank (5 levels, decreases enemy gold allotment by 10%)


Any other ideas? Please list them and what they do in order to be considered.

Are there two "kingdoms" ?

If yes, then they maybe spawn some units (small ships, battleships, supporting ships with auras, something like that...) at Royal harbours.

And some buildings to upgrade their range, damage, shields, etc...
Global upgrades like in "The Great Strategy"

So that there are "huge" battles at sea

btw

your blue font is hard to read

Actually there are 2.5: North, South, and a neutral hostile pirates in the middle.

The upgrades you are talking about have already been made, those are4 a part of the Forge and Lumbremill upgrades. I need building ideas, not technology.

Spawning buildings is an idea but I doubt it will be implemented unless it is extremely expensive, but it is worth looking into.

Get used to the blue font as I am keeping it :evil:

 

[Black Knight]

I have expected, that you would say that...

Sorry that I said your ideas again... my mistake *shame*

But the neutral pirates sound interesting to me.

I'm looking foward to the first Alpha version

 

[Anonymous]

Eh, no big deal, just come up with ideas.

Alpha will not be for awhile as Christian is in the middle of moving and thus his part of the project will be delayed. He was taking awhile on his part anyways, so this only slows it to a snails crawl.

about the writing, if u plan to keep it the easiest way to read it to highlight it.

Yeah, that's what I always do, cause of Malufa's font color

Focus on the subject, not the font colour

Yes, master

Yesterday I played Batlleships (long time ago I played in the B-Net...)

Is there an option to play as a trader in your map or only pvp?

[Black Knight]

Wow, nice descriptions. A very colorful choice... I'm really looking forward to that map!!

 

[darkkeijp]

do you already have a name for the map or ...?

 

[Anonymous]

No name as of yet, we can barely agree on even the amount of quests there should be and of what type, let alone a name. I will accept suggestions if they are rational.

 

[XxSniperWolfxX]

How about "Defender of the sea" or "War of kingdoms". Just brain-storming.

 

[Black Knight]

Admirals of Glory

Commanders of Glory

Epic War of the Sea ( Is it an epic war, don't know? )

Naval Battle

Eternal Naval Battle

Royal Battleships

The Royal Guards

... something like that?

 

[XxSniperWolfxX]

Hmmm Naval Battle sounds i bit like the Naval area.

 

[Anonymous]

Got a better name?

 

[XxSniperWolfxX]

Lol. Ran out. Im a air force person. Not a navy one

 

[GST_Nemisis]

how about masters of the sea?

 

[Ralle]

What about battleships?
duh. Hmmm. Golf Wars or something.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

golf lol, do u mean gulf?

 

[Ralle]

[Malufa]

I like the sound of Masters of the Sea, or the Sea Masters. Battle of the Waves, Sea Battles, Aqua War, Hydro War, I like these. Thank you Dan, that was a simple answer but it really helped me out, I will now reward you a little :twisted:

 

[GST_Nemisis]

thanks, im live to give

 

[Malufa]

Well I was going to give you 100 gold but I seem to be unable to do that still for some strange reason. Oh well, Rasmus and I can figure it out later. Hey Ras, will you give Dan 100 gold for me since I cannot?

 

[Av3n]

Hi maybe

Navel Strike
or
The Battle Of The Ocean

Thats my ideas
