Re: Partaxian Redesign Competition!

My opinion is bankers seem to be a very popular race, particularly for new players. Having two banker races would be of more benefit to the game then two resourcer (I see quantom as resourceras well) races. Plus I have many fond memories of pop banking and also of opping them and they defo add something to IC, so I would encourage the Partaxian to become a pop banker race.

Re: Partaxian Redesign Competition!

CF banker - revalons
pop banker - partaxian
research resourcer - quantam
attack resourcer - wardancer
speed attacker - camaar

kinda how i envision it

Re: Partaxian Redesign Competition!

zidi con science is far too popular these days(and rightly so) for any significant number of people to want pop bank or resource with -30% research, no to mention the fact that it makes a resourcer's resource science and a pop banker's eco and welfare science horribly expensive as well. I dont think -30% science would make anyone want to us the race :S

I was using a metaphor that means God is watching us. You've heard this, there's a toilet on the roof.

Re: Partaxian Redesign Competition!

My thoughts about standard races are that they should be a bit silly or on some points stupid and other points great. To keep the idea of partax being a popbanker and resourcer alive I made a race that could be debated about to be both. Since in the older race it was obvious that the race was more resourcer, I chose to upgrade the banker part.

The partapax needs to be have a 70% magic bonus because this is what makes it so fearful.
However it needs a weakness and another strength, because launching plain spells and that is it, is boring.
This setup is a cf/to banker race which is much different than the usually opper/banker races.
Generally when you see spells you think resourcer, however that is what the quatium should be.
Spells can benefit a banker in several ways! No fear: 10% defense / 10% offense to military which is great during times of wars and raids.
Protecting science is also equally important, destroying science on a good banker can dominate there income, and SA is self expiatory.
The weakness in this setup is high wizard count keeps iron safe which is why wizards are awesome for resoucers, which limits there power slightly with this setup.
Having no speed makes them slow as well which also limits there abilities. Also having weak opps will mean a low agent  count which gives risk to getting destroy cash, however the opps are not fillers they are semi useful.
However taking the risks are what is important because you receive. a wooping 170 race points instead of the usually 120.

Re: Partaxian Redesign Competition!

i still remeber a post made in a PvC

partax at the top , eww !! fail blah blah.. ( thats my translation )

now, i wonder about this dude, was decently active, built on his own, didnt ask for anything , accepted aid, if he replied, if he replied.. pff  ! ... was able to do very well with the current partax race, so i ask who was this dude,

was he a guy that found custom races inferior to the already defined races.. or did he see that signing in one time for him self by himself, going SS an advantage??

True...there is no "i" in team, but there is a "u" in suck.

Re: Partaxian Redesign Competition!

you cant raise RC and pop , no no

this guy is SS, ((outside view)) from a lower ranked guy, but has an income in the positive

wizzards they are rare, but how to , and what to, yikes

so with his infinte *7hrs of knowledge,, wizzies are on the move

magic bonus, not really imprtant if you have the spec ops

True...there is no "i" in team, but there is a "u" in suck.
