Topic: Way to win

I think this game needs some "spice"

I say we have bonus planets, that give bonuses to a family that ownes them.  Maybe 20 total hidden in the gal.

Food,oct,endo,iron,cash,morale,pop, increased income, ect ect...

When a family ownes all 20, they win the round.

An area shows what fam has the planets,  or if they are unexplored. 



I think this would dump the farming, illegal alliances,  and pnap issues this game has.

It will finally show who won, nobody knows if planet, nw, score wins.



Maybe if not for reg gal, custom gal with this set up.

Re: Way to win

how does this prevent farming?

If there are 20 hidden planets you are going to take every last planet from a fam to ensure they don't have the "planet"

Re: Way to win

fifty planets, well spread, marked, gold, blinking, maxed out on all bonusses
Points for each tick your fam has such a planet
Most points at eor wins

No, you try to find the hidden planet. It will show if your family took it, or if the original family still has it.

It will be more about securing the planet/system then planet count at end.

Re: Way to win

There are plans to introduce different win conditions as a galaxy-specific setting.  This would work as an example for sure.

It likely wouldn't be an end-all solution to some of the issues you described though, as it wouldn't be a game-wide change.  What would probably happen instead is that each galaxy would start to have more of a distinct feel, and farming/IA/etc would simply be part of a galaxy's "culture", for better or for worse.

We would still want to balance those issues of course, but in a way that addresses them more directly.  Farming for example, can/should be curbed independent of winning conditions.
