Maybe this is a little premature, since Tefka mentioned new upcoming mechanics, but it was just a random thought...
What if a hex with an annihilated planet turns into an impassable hex? From what it sounds/seems like, it just means the hex can't be claimed by a Major Faction but that kind of...
So, I’ve been sitting on this idea for a while, and I think I have it at a spot where I won’t get entirely blasted by the Chaos Gods (will still definitely get blasted by the Chaos Gods). Let’s get this show on the road then. I’m gonna get blasted from the first two words.
In Stellaris , there...
I know the map is very much a WIP right now, but I thought it might be a cool option to turn off all the green yellow and black dots, and just see how much territory each major holds.
No idea if it's possible, but the visual in my head is very neat, and I'd enjoy being able to.
Lets have minor factions show up on the map, especially with the new one forming. Heres my suggestion:
We change the Major Faction requirement from 5 to 7. 7 Unique writers.
We make Semi-Major Factions (we can come up with a better name, sue me) that require 2 or 3 unique writers.
They get...
shits unbalanced someone just cranks out 8 paragraphs and nobody reads it and everyone gives up on the initial point
it's a broken strat too OP please fix
I would like a system similar to Rebellion but having much more focus on the story and the characters involved. And not to be exploited like Rebellion did. Instead I would like there to be a number of differences between Rebellion and Secession that it wouldn't be confused with each other. I...
So since we are getting close to the moratorium, I took another look at moratorium rules for invasions. In light of last year's update to them, which rewrote the moratorium section to prevent invasions from being launched in late November, I noticed that it doesn't give a specific deadline as to...
In looking at the vehicle forum, there is an understandable trend towards all racing and/or racing-oriented vehicles having [Extreme] Speed and [Extreme] Maneuverability, which I think is an unintended side effect of the template being geared towards combat vehicles. This can make it difficult...
Another quality-of-life suggestion. Right now clicking on articles posted in the faction sidebar will link to the discussion thread, and you have to click another link to view the article itself (although this isn't always the case, including with some blogs, so I'm not sure what makes the...
Pretty much title. Some people have taken to trying to directly recruit writers from their character bio, and there are probably people who would like their biography to look clean and pretty without some random person going "come join my faction!" right under it.
Instead of out outright...
Anyone following young Adron Malvern and his recent suggestion thread found here probably knows where I'm going with this.
I find invasions to be the biggest pull to the site for me. The map is unique to chaos, it heavily impacts many writers' stories, and it provides quantifiable success to...
In light of our fabulous campaign flashpoint this October, I thought that it would be fun to suggest a flashpoint that would induce even more headaches for staff:
GALACTIC WAR
At any stage, a Major Faction or two Major Factions concurrently may declare a Galactic War against up to two opposing...
Been muling a bit about the flashpoints (and how I love them, please site staff bring them back soon, they were so awesome!)
So here's an idea;
What if for the duration of a flashpoint, different factions can invade a hex together. For instance, NIO and AoC can team up against TSE for the same...
Okay, so I was thinking about invasions and how they work.
That inevitably led me to think about Hearts of Iron 4 and how territory is utilized in that video game.
And as I was pondering upon these subjects, I thought up an idea for how the invasion mechanic could be changed, perhaps...
Dungeon Masters. A staple of the roleplay genre for as long as roleplay has been a thing. And something we don't have on Chaos, which I kind of understand. However, I feel like dungeon masters could be incredibly useful on the forums and definitely help expand roleplay and make things a bit more...
Something I've observed in my short time here is that when a faction drops from Major (due to activity or otherwise), they essentially just give up months or years worth of progress they've made in the form of dominions and invasions, all at once. Or at least, within the span of about a month...
Another deliberation of a friendly neighborhood writer.
So I was looking over some of the more under utlilized aspects of the Map game and their relation to Minor factions, and that is Rebellions. As of now, they are more or less obsolete and do little to impact the Map. While glossing over the...
