Nightbonus

Postby Judaism » Thu Jul 17, 2014 8:19 pm

I've been playing Tribal wars recently, once you're playing in the top it gets quite serious. Altough that has nothing to do with Salem, Tribal wars features a nightbonus defense system which allows people to sleep 6 hours atleast. I was thinking to add a town option which gives your defense systems additional strenght during the night. The period will be set-up once, and only once and cannot be changed after that. I know that bigger towns have people with different time zones but they could atleast adjust the periods to most of their members, on this way the defenders could always defend with their characters which will make the game better in my eyes. The attacker could notice their nightbonus times, they have to adjust to the periods, thats the opposite of right now.

This is very interesting.

How are you imagining one know when the resting bonus is in effect for that town?

There are various ways doing so, I personally think something with the display would be good enough. For instant: A Pclaim is red, but you could add several colours to a Vclaim depending on their nightbonus lets say there are 5 possible times to choose from (so 5 display colours) on this way everyone could make a guess in which time zone the villagers are most active.

Braziers (and torchposts + future possible stuff) could get an ominous glow.

New people join towns and old people leave them, it would be a pain in the ass to have to destroy the bell and rebuild it to change what hours count as night. It should be changeable once a month, but consume some authority and should not be changeable while under a trial by fire.

This idea exists in at least two games i have played in the european timezone. one was grepolis, the other was a castle bulding game. Maybe also in napoleonic wars but i don't remember. It is fairly easy to implement i think.
