So tonight I did a modreq with one of the staff to see if owning a nation is a good idea for me and my project http://meepcraft.com/threads/the-town-of-minas_tirith-needs-builders-and-other.38452/ . When today I looked at the map I need 700 plots roughly. I thought that when you own a nation the nations owner town gets additional plots, not the 140 standard for all people but ones coming per each additional town. It turns out you get little to nothing from owning an nation. So why in the name of MEEP would it cost 5 million meebles! So I propose a few buffs for nation owners(if these suggestions actually get implemented I will buy an nation in a heartbeat.)
- For every town that joins that nation gets 20 additional plots to the capital city
- The nation cities capital gets a 10% upkeep reduction
- The nation cities capital plots cost 20% cost reduction
Now lets look into the pros and cons of this shall we?
Pros
- A actual incentive to buy a nation
- More people will buy nations taking 5 million out of the economy which is a concern of many
- More nations for a growing player size
- Having people like me do projects like mine more easily.....
Cons
Now before you go and do a -1 on this please think a bit. Who would this hurt? Nobody and it takes money out of the economy. Gives nation owners reasons to keep them. It is sad atm there is only 3 nations in beta and 1 only has 1 town! Don't be blind
