Coming Soon: Sovereignty - Brace For Impact

second that. good functional design also

This is such an awesome update. Next time I'm paid, I'm buying some prestige, you work too hard to be giving this for free.

A few questions though, sorry if they're already answered in the post.

So I send my army to occupy a square, do I set it to occupy for 12 hours, or will it automatically stay there if I initiate a claim for sovereignty?

If I send for the army to return, will the claim auto revert to 24 hours, or will it depend on how long I had the army there for. Eg I had the army on the square for 6 hours, will it take 12 more hours to claim or will it take 18 hours?

If during the intial claim, I got to 75% and someone decides to annihilate my army and occupy the square, without an initial sovereign level there, will my claim be nullified, or will it decrease from 75%?

Does it make any difference as to the size of army I send to occupy? Can it be a handful of units and still achieve the same result?

I have a few more, but I'm sure they're answered....somewhere...

Great idea like this is what making me return to this game every single day and promoting it to other people.

Keep up the good work, devs!

GM Stormcrow wrote: HOW MUCH BONUS DOES A RESOURCE SOVEREIGN STRUCTURE GIVE? This depends on the resource distribution of the underlying terrain on which they are built. The formula is: [Sovereignty Structure Level] x [Relevant Resource Distribution] x 0.2 = %age Bonus So, building a Logging Camp I on a square that has 5 wood underlying it will give:  1 x 5 x 0.2 = +1% bonus... ... to Wood Production in the holding city. On the same square, a Logging Camp V will give +5% bonus to Wood production in the holding city.  Building a Logging Camp IV on a square with 7 wood will give +5.6% bonus. Again, players will be informed of what bonus the Structure will provide before they build the Structure.

isnt 5% bonus a little on the light side
Logging Camp V will give +5% and cost 500 gold/hr at 1 square away
so you would need 10k/hr base income of wood just to break even on gold spent? or am i missing something

GM Stormcrow wrote: Whilst you can build any Production Structure on any Sovereign Square, different Terrain Types give an additional 1%, 2% or 3% bonus to the per Structure Level figure.  So instead of the %age Bonus running from 5% to 25% (for Sovereignty Structure I through V), it can also run from 6% to 40%, 7% to 35%, or 8% to 40% per Sovereignty Structure Level.

srry about nitpickin


Edit:
2 more question: Can you stack bonuses over several squares, say build four lvl5 cattle ranches to get 100% bonus, or is only 1 building type per city

Can you see other players lvl of sov on a square and what structure they have, or do you have to send diplos to get the info(gonna look through 1 more time think i saw something about this)

Good god.

And this was proof-checked by a number of people, myself included!

The real, true figures are as follows:

All Production Sovereign Structures give an increase to the hourly production speed of the Sovereign Holding town for the Structure's bonus type, according to the following formula: ( 5 + [Additional Terrain Bonus] ) * [Sovereignty Structure Level]= %age Bonus Whilst you can build any Production Structure on any Sovereign Square, different Terrain Types give an additional 1%, 2% or 3% bonus to the per Structure Level figure.  So instead of the %age Bonus running from 5% to 25% (for Sovereignty Structure I through V), it can also run from 6% to 30%, 7% to 35%, or 8% to 40%.

Thank you very, very much for pointing this out, McF.  +5 Internets.

I've edited the main post to reflect this, and I hope you don't mind McF, I "struckthrough" your quotations of me saying entirely the wrong this in your post.
