Topic: Race Change, During a Round

Quite often the family dynamics changes during a round.... you need another attacker, or banker.  Someone leaves and upsets the balance, or you have an agenda that needs fulfilling.

Why not allow 1 race change per player during a round?

e.g. A banker, just offloads his banking planets, keeps his sci, keeps w/e ...and is allowed to change race to attacker, to fulfil the need of an attacker in a family.  Or if you have an attacker with so many planets, and the need for attacking is gone, he can change his race to banker or a ressie race to help the fam more?

Will allow fams to be more adaptable and flexible to deal with what they need to.  Also increases a player's versatility - and with so few players left, why not empower them to be able to do more?

If anything, it introduces a bit more strategy - something which IC definitely needs more of.

Yep!

Or you can use your custom pop banking race....pop bank to your hearts content - with 50% science ....get to the sci you want, and then switch to Revalons to maximise the income!!

Plenty of new ways to bring in some new strat smile

Doesn't even require any coding - It's just a rule change.

Could create some very interesting strats, I like it.

Re: Race Change, During a Round

It has no sense at all but looks fun enuf

anyway, I thought we had science for that purpose, get ur race progress from the original to a model you want for the round or just enhance ur original atributes.  Why not enhance researching instead?? the way you can change ur race atributes easily and faster  (fewer science points, higher research)  or you can also create a new researching field called "race points" and all you invest here goes directly to change your original settings in the race, may we have 1 day a week set to perform this changes on ur original race, so that day you spend the race points earned by research

Re: Race Change, During a Round

not sure u get me

Quantum is the only race capable to change significally during the round, depending on the empire needs thanks to its great research.

What we could do, is make that the normal research for any race, lets say a 30% science gives what 70% gives to quantum right now, then 50% gives more and then quantum with 70% becomes camaleonic race with a extreme power to change role during the round.

If we work with the "race points" fields the changes during the round are substantial for any custom race with 50% science and there's no need to change to another race like Torqez idea, because your original race progresses to what you want.

Re: Race Change, During a Round

u could decide to go to less at start and get more ops/spells for bor. then later when settled and u starting ot fix your to ratio, u swap to your to race. with less ops.

or go heavy rc at start as attacker custom with ops needed to clear cores etc, then later when ur rc is top notch u switch to camaar for more speed.

it certainly would give more strategy options, but i think we need to discuss this subject a bit cuz im sure their abuses too.

Re: Race Change, During a Round

I would love to be able to go custom attacker e stage and then switch to camaar

Re: Race Change, During a Round

So, I am sure you guys don't remember that this idea existed somewhat!

But, I'm glad that it has been implemented in some shape or form wink

Good stuff!

Re: Race Change, During a Round

one time per round per fam is a bit shitty tongue now u need to reserve this option for if attackers turn inactive and u need to save your fams ass.
better give everyone this option once a round. or 4 per fam (same ammount of vip spots) or something simelar then we can start using this better as part of tactics.
