Topic: Partax's new op

0_o

------- New Partaxian Race!! -------

The following is the new Partaxian Race!!  Please keep in mind this is the addition we have felt is the most balance to the game.  We will tweak these if necessary, but based on the fact we brought in a new op, we feel the race Partaxian has been brought up with the times!!

//STATS
Income: 30% (Previously 35%)
Research: 30% (Previously 0%)
Magic: 70%

//NEW OP!!
Name: Octarine Hurricane
Description:  Casting this op creates magical turbulent weather at the targetted empire.  This effects 20% of income produced from Cash Factories, and lasts for the duration of 6 weeks.  This op is stackable and works multiplicatively.

Note:  This op is specific to PARTAXIANS only!

Re: Partax's new op

e-storms are easier due to inflated pop nw, so it'll be hard to cast.

Re: Partax's new op

Eh, the nw has nothing to do with estorms being easier to cast on pop bankers.  When you op someone bigger, it is based on numbers of wizards, not percentage of networth.  The nw only comes into play when the pop banker wants to op back

Re: Partax's new op

good, now do we get 9$/cf to make up for needing to support huge amounts of wizzies all of a sudden, or are we all gonna popbank? CF was the safe-but-slow option to banking (as in lower income but hard to hit), now its just the slow option.

When speaking your mind, it is of utmost importance to keep using it !

Re: Partax's new op

Good changes, BTW CF bankers had already research to protect with wizzards even if lot of players didn't do it

Re: Partax's new op

Yes, but defenses cost money, and cf allready makes way lower income than a popbanker. Until now, pop had larger turnover but was riskier to play due to the chance of getting depopped. Now they both have the risk of getting hit hard with magic, but pop still has the larger turnover. End result : cf banking just became useless.

and @kollop : indeed, but you usually never got hit by a pax - they wouldnt waste their limited ops on killing a few % of your research to drop even smaller amounts of income. So you only needed protecting from non-specialists (like attackers with kill science magic op), so you didnt need huge amounts of wizzies. If a pax targetted your research anyways, you thanked the gods he wasnt killing your fam's iron, or your popbanker.

When speaking your mind, it is of utmost importance to keep using it !

Re: Partax's new op

Well this is gonna knock the Socks off CF TO Bankers and CF RC lol... suggest all Resource players do a Partaxian Run..

Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.

Re: Partax's new op

One more thing - incase it wasn't clear.

All the current existing Partaxian Ops will remain.  Only the new op is being added.

Re: Partax's new op

"boohoo, it's over powered, waa waa"

Now the fams that hit smaller ones will have to think about it if that fams got a pax. Is losing your bankers income worth it for the few planets? tongue I was hoping for a more pop based pax but oh well smile Makes the race relevant again for sure and the research bonus is nice.

Re: Partax's new op

you guys still dont understand....it lasts 6 ticks. an e-storm lasts 8 but then you have to spend ticks to re-grow the population.  This being said this new op isnt even near as devastating as an e-storm on a pop banker.   I think it just makes the need for all sorts of bankers in your fam more relevant.  Also you will find CF bankers will now have to go as wizzie oppers and less agent oppers. 

Just mixing things up a bit...this wont have a huge effect on things. just make things interesting though!

Re: Partax's new op

A Partax with 70% magic waking up first thing in morning, and doing 7 hurricnaes on ya ass! He comes back in 7 ticks and does aload more. No reason a decent Partax cant attempt 18 ops a day, and with that magic bonus, he wont fail many. Thats enough to cripple the income of the two top enemy cf bankers which is going to hurt. If the enemy has a pop banker, you gotta decide what is more worthwhile, hitting their pop or hurricaning, but thats where skill and strategy comes into it, so thats good.

Now average/lame fams with 4/5 cf bankers are going to struggle to defend themselves against a big Partax! So I think if used right, it can be devasting. And I think its got the perfect balance, it isn't too powerful! Its just right, good job mods!

Re: Partax's new op

so only a pax can use this opp, and u cant select it in a custom race? Thats a pretty good idea, they should make a new opp for each of the races, that is specific only to it and cant be selected for a custom race

Re: Partax's new op

yeah but the thing is you mainly get it to down the bankers and you need someone active but do you give a active person a role of a partax? are you not wasting his spot? because the partax is still weak in other areas it will be intersting to see if a active fam will use 1 or 2 of these in a fam.
