pict mentioned not being able to improve your walls once you have techs purchased, with your original castle walls being easily smashable by a few cats, and it gave me an idea. i dont know how hard this would be to code, or if its been suggested before, but here it is. what if once you purchased a tech like wood panelling, stone shielding, etc, if that increased the maximum hit points of all your buildings. so even though they would show as slightly damaged, they would still have as many hit points as they had before, but with the new tech you could send your comms around and reinforce/repair them to the new maximum made available by your new technology. it wouldnt be a huge change in game play, to upgrade your whole castle wall would take some time. but it would give a player who is going down that little bit of extra opportunity to do something about it.

It's funny but I was thinking this exact thing just yesterday! I think it would be a real useful addition.

Agreed Those lazy comms need more work

though why can't it just affected it automatically? kinda sorta like how it does for other technologies you upgrade for other games. (e.i. warcraft and startcraft come to my mind) where no matter whether they had the upgrade or not, all the units/buidlings automatically get the upgrade regradless of what they were before.

Perhaps the tech should be .... camp>stockade>castle>fortress

stockade being the palli we have now ect
so the castle base should start with no deff at all, like a encampment and progress upwards.

this will bring the stone shielding ect into one tech


the main thing this game needs is to tie each tech together and make them easier to understand, I have heard its an adult game banded about but the youth is where the future is in gaming and they expect more!!

yes we do!!! hard to compete with awesome games such as Halo 1 and 2( i didn't like halo 3 that much) and warcraft and startcraft, and i'm sure a bunch of other games i like

If you add more techs and more levels for each tech,then you would have to increase, the amount of resources,you collect when you destroy them.And the amount of resources generated each turn to a much higher amount,to stay competitive in a camp.

Why would you have to increase that? As it stands now, most people are usually done teching up by turn 35ish...at least on techs that matter. After that you're just buying the stupid ones like Spying or architecture just so you can say you have them all. So adding some usefull techs later in the game stage isn't a bad idea.

I have something in mind about the actual building techs. Is a problem sometimes for me that the techs to increase the buiilding health have a specific order. I think it would be better if Wood Panelling, Stone Shielding, Metal Reinforcements and Architecture are all available after building the blacksmith.

Sometimes I am plenty of stone or metal and I don't have wood to spend. I would like to increase the new buildings health with stone shielding or metal reinforcements without needing wood panneling. In real world the building health is increased with anything wou have arround, not wood, then stone and then metal...

I agree with Vikingo,all 4 of those techs should be available after building the blacksmith.
