Smaller empire sizes and city limits for LT46
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2018 6:44 pm
LT40 worked reasonably well with the limited empire sizes. However in the end there was too much to do even while there was less cities. For LT46 the empire sizes will be reduced and the empires will be smaller. It's also not going to be possible to choose a good gov in the early game and build all the cities at once. For that we may have the govs split into 2-3 steps.
Monarchy could be something like that:
Ancient Monarchy (max 8 cities)
Medieval Monarchy (max 12 cities)
Modern Monarchy (max 16 cities)
Or Monarchy I, Monarchy II and Monarchy III.
Depending on the government the player could control 6-20 cities without getting extra unhappy from each new city.
The tech costs will be experimental and adjusted to the number of the cities. Less cities in the early game should also fix the issue we have with slightly too cheap techs in the early game.
As a reminder, don't be afraid about having too big changes. All this will only apply to LT46 and will not be used on the traditional games.
