I have just got off of a stint playing a different nation and alliance building game. I left because nations were always temporary with a lifespan of 2 to 5 weeks. I like CN for the permanence. I would however, suggest some improvements based on my humble observations as a relative newcomer.
The following high-level improvements would definitely enhance my enjoyment of the game:
- Mini-Games: make it so a ruler can play mini-games to boost cash, tech, infra, land, and military power as well as win in-game medals.
- Open Market: make it so a ruler can buy and sell technology, military units and land on an open market. Randomly generate auctions where rulers could bid on things like "receive 1% of the worlds cash".
Please forgive if I'm posting this in the wrong place
