Razing Cities
Proposal:Have you ever had a enemy you hated? My idea is to add razing to the game. Razing would be available at academic level 28 and would cost 8 points. Razing would allow you to completely demolish a enemy city. You must send a BDS + troops along and select raze instead of regular attack. On a speed 1 world it would take 24 hours, 2 is 12, speed 3 is 8, and 4 is 6. Note the BDS cannot travel over 48 hours away. Note all units in the enemies city must die for the Raze to start. By that I mean all units must be dead BEFORE the BDS hits. You can send troops along with the BDS and it is advisable to send clearing attacks before.
The Unit:
Black Death ship
300 Defensive value
1000 offensive value (That isn't over powered, if your city has 100 biremes only 4 would die)
Speed is 50 since plague spread fast
75 population
10k of all resources
takes 150 divine favor from Hades. (It doesnt have to be a city worshiping Hades)
Takes 12 hours to build (Divide by world speed)
A black death ship fires bodies of men and women who have died from the plague over your city walls infecting the city.
Costs:
3 CP- First Raze
5 CP- Second Raze
7 CP- Third Raze
9 CP- Fourth Raze
11 CP- Fifth Raze
13 CP- Sixth Raze
15 CP- Seventh Raze- Twentieth Raze
20 CP- 21st- 40th
25 CP- 41st- 60th
30 CP- 60+
What Happens:
When the city is razed it takes all buildings down to the amount of a city that was founded (Senate 10, Wood 15, Rock 15, Silver 13, Warehouse 10, Farm 10, Market 2, Temple 1, Barracks 4). Note all Special buildings are destroyed.
your city will have a skull where the banner is located to symbolize it is infected
Award:
Level 1: Raze 1 City
Level 2: Raze 5 Cities
Level 3: Raze 25 Cities
Level 4: Raze 75 Cities
New Research: Spreading
A new research called Spreading (Maybe you could think of a better name).
If you have this researched and you successfully raze a city than rats would "Spread" from that city and infect every city on the island with a plague (Would reduce every cities resource production by different amounts depending on the size of the player).
Academic level required: 34
Costs: 12k wood, 12k stone, 12k silver and 3 research points
The plague would be worse than Hades plague for some. (Basically just a modified version of that spell)
The amounts would get changed to the amounts below.
If the player is...
1-10000 points it would reduce their resource production in all affected cities by 10% for 24 hours
10001-30000 points it would reduce their production by 25% for 24 hours
30001-75000 points it would reduce their production by 40% for 24 hours
75001-200000 points it would reduce their production by 60% for 24 hours
200001-500000 points it would reduce their production by 75% for 24 hours
500001-1000000 points it would reduce their production by 85% for 24 hours
1000001+ points it would reduce their resource production by 100% for 24 hours (affected cities will have no production for a day)
Times would change... Speed 1 is 24, speed 2 is 12, speed 3 is 8, speed 4 is 6.
New Research: Cure
Another research that would cost 0 research points and would be available at academic level 31. It would be called Cure and would cost 10000 of every resource and the city with the research will recover from the plague 4x as fast. This will make expanding your academy to the higher levels more worth it. The times the plague would be on your city would be 6 for speed 1, 3 for speed 2, 2 for speed 3, 1.5 for speed 4.
Have you Checked the DNS and PSI lists in the Archives? Is this idea similar to one that has been previously suggested?
Yes
Reason:
It gives players a way to kill their enemies other than conquest
Balance:
A window will pop up and ask if you want to continue fighting or admit defeat and save lives (Must drop under 10k after the raze for this to happen). You will lose your current city/cities (If you click yes) and will start over on the rim.
Abuse Prevention:
The BDS Dies after the siege ends, there is a 12 hour cool down (6 on speed 2, 4 on speed 3).
Anyone under 10k points cant be razed. First city can never be razed. Battle Points affect how many cities you can raze. Every 5k BP allows you to construct another BDS (It is like getting cities, once you use the ship you must obtain 5k BP (Or the specified amount below) for another BDS slot to open)
0-100,000 Points- 5000 BP
100,001-200,000 Points- 10000 BP
200,001-500,000 Points- 50000 BP
500,001-1,000,000- 100,000 BP
1,000,001+- 250,000 BP
You must collect more BP for each BDS as you rise in points the BP cost of a BDS slot will increase.
Cities on the island who were affected by the spreading from the razed city cant be razed for 48 hours (timer starts once the razing is over and the city is crippled. Also the time when your plague starts). You can only do this when you don't have enough CP for a new city. 30/31 would be allowed for a raze, but if you have 31/31 you can't raze the target city.

I think this may help players
