Zoot Zoot Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Agriculture Development Program - Anti-Air Defense Network - nill Central Intelligence Agency - nill Disaster Relief Agency - nill Fallout Shelter System - nill Federal Aid Commission - nill Federal Reserve - nill Foreign Air Force Base - Allows foreign air force bases in other nations. Foreign Naval Base - Allows foreign naval bases in other nations. Great Monument - nill Great Temple - nill Great University - nill Hidden Nuclear Missile Silo - nill Interceptor Missile System (IMS) - nill Internet - broadband internet speeds. Without this, there is only dialup. Interstate System - nill Manhattan Project - availability of nuclear weapons Mars Base - what it says on the tin Mars Colony - what it says on the tin Mars Mine - what it says on the tin Mining Industry Consortium - nill Moon Base - what it says on the tin Moon Colony - what it says on the tin Moon Mine - what it says on the tin Movie Industry - nill National Environment Office - nill National Research Lab - biological weapons National War Memorial - nill Nuclear Power Plant - nill Pentagon - nill Scientific Development Center - nill Social Security System - nill Space Program - what it says on the tin Stock Market - nill Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) - Ability to stop nukes at 60% odds Superior Logistical Support - better field support Universal Health Care - what it says on the tin Weapons Research Complex - larger nukes as per nuke rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Zigur Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Pentagon in game adds 20% to attacking and defending ground odds; therefore an equal sized force should be confered a significant advantage, and as an example, my roughly 400000 strong force would be worth more like 480,000. This is due to increased operational tempo and superior battle rythim... able to better sense weakness in enemy formations and engage that weakness effectively.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Requiring a NRL for biological weapons is sorta rediculous. Biological weapons have been in use since medieval times. I would suggest revising the wording to "Warhead delivery of biological weapons." Otherise, I like a lot of Zoot's suggestions. I'll be using a lot of his ideas and giving some suggestions for ones labeled nil in a list I will provide later tonight or tommorrow.

The Zigur Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Warhead delivery of bio weapons could be difficult because of the heat that affects the warhead during reentry... iirc Soviets claimed to possess them but idk if its true.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 This idea needs some work, and coming from me it may look biased. So I am merely mentioning it as an interesting concept and if someone else wants to formally roll with it we can..All icbms should not be global. If WRC is to serve a function in relation to the caps, maybe it can determine the range of ICBMS or be one of the wonders that does. We also need to determine.. when does a nation develop a proficiency at ICBM delivery? How does it acquire range over time? I mention this because it's a critial mechanic of geopolitics this game lacks and it would make the game more interesting as then "basing nukes" just like in the Cuban missile crisis, Project Jupiter, or more modern sdi basing in europ dissucion... more plausible scenarios.

You're thinking strategic. I'm thinking regional. Like the SCUD-B.. which doesn't undergo as much heated re-entry.

The Zigur Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) This is a good point. In order to have intercontinental nuclear weapons, you should have a WRC. Unlocking the secrets of atomic power is not the same as delivering it on an ICBM. Edited June 19, 2014 by Tywin Lannister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynneth Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Let's see.Mostly gonna go with 'felt' values instead of anything mathematical for now. Agriculture Development Program - You can RP a greater-than-usual population Anti-Air Defense Network - A campaign to destroy AA systems had to be done before attacking any other structures can be done Central Intelligence Agency - RP following spyrolls can be countered better? Disaster Relief Agency - Nukes, bombing campaigns, etc don't affect you as much Fallout Shelter System - Sophisticated bunker networks protecting military and population can be RPd Federal Aid Commission - No idea Federal Reserve - Money's irrelevant Foreign Air Force Base - Maybe add +1 to the aircraft modifier? Though that might overpower nations having it. Maybe add a flat number of slots. 60? That's 5 12-plane squadrons. Foreign Naval Base - Add 1,000-2,000 pts to Naval Points Great Monument - dunno Great Temple - dunno Great University - Add +2 years to your techscale if under the limit; Up to the limit Hidden Nuclear Missile Silo - Global ICBM reach; Without, you get ~8-10,000 km range? only' half the world Interceptor Missile System (IMS) - Always kill at least 50% of missiles shot at you Internet - Permits high-speed internet (beyond 200 kbyte/s); Mostly fluff. Or: Permits international connection without being as susceptible to cyber-attacks. Or both. Interstate System - Moving military stuff through your nation goes faster Manhattan Project - N00kz, what else. Mars Base - What's on the tin Mars Colony - What's on the tin Mars Mine - What's on the tin Mining Industry Consortium - Resources are sort of irrelevant Moon Base - What's on the tin Moon Colony - What's on the tin Moon Mine - What's on the tin Movie Industry - lolPropaganda National Environment Office - Faster NBC-cleanup National Research Lab - Stealth craft cost 1.5 instead of 2 points? National War Memorial - Dunno Nuclear Power Plant - Required for RPing fusion power (and/or beyond that) Pentagon - Get ~50,000 more soldiers? Scientific Development Center - Similar to the Uni perhaps? +1 each instead? Social Security System - Fluff Space Program - You can RP space stations and moon landings Stock Market - Money, useless, etc Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) - 60% killrate for nukes Superior Logistical Support - logistics-trains survive better in RP? Universal Health Care - Fluff Weapons Research Complex - Something something bio/chemweapon-delivery All just random stuff that I thought of. The collective wonders might overpower someone like me though, so I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauty Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Not sure why Manhattan Project matters. If you have nukes in game you have nukes is the current rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Lyn, just a thought, wouldn't your ADP thing be redundant since it already plays into the stats of a given nation that is actually articulated in this rp?

Generalissimo Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 They should all do something. Generalissimo remains a staunch backer of simulationism~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereno Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Interceptor Missile System (IMS) - Extra 10% chance to block nukes on top of SDI or RPd anti-missile stuff.Manhattan Project - Required to develop nuclear missiles.Space Program - Allows having a space program.Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) - 60% chance of blocking nukes.

Mogar Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 There seems to be a misunderstanding, the intent on this thread was what benefit IF ANY, should the wonders give you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PresidentDavid Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Adding all of this to the RP just seems to over complicate it all. I think we are at a point to where we have developed our government and set down the needed rules for the RP. I believe at this point we should revert to having the GMs approve all votes and whatnot before they are written up and proposed because at this point (I'm not really talking about this one) it is becoming hard to keep up with and some of the things being proposed are a little detrimental. If you haven't noticed, two people have quit. I would assume part of that has to do with the fact that there is more OOC posting than IC posting and more rule threads than RP threads...

Yerushalayim Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Most of these are just fluff. No need to really complicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Wilding Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I don't think these wonders should have an effect at all. What you have IG, you have IC. No Manhattan Project IG? No nuke for your military IC. No SDI? No 60% hit chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
