Rather than just sitting there looking pretty and not usable, why not make it a race that makes its income from enslavement? And can only be picked after a successful UW.

It will be a non-explorable race, for extra challenge. Their homeworld is capturable.

But their advantage is in that as compared to other enslaving races, when their tribute reserves is full, all incoming tribute from slaves will go directly to their empire`s cash, rather than disappearing into thin air.

also, unlike most other races. D.maru can send starbases as reinforcements to their slave empires.

all planets captured by D.maru (excluding clusters and U classes) will be turned into Dead type planets of the same land size.

thoughts? (: its just a rough idea i have, if its possible to implement it then i will work on the finer aspects, down to the specifics.

i can tel you from personal experience, 999,999,999 is all you are going to get.

The fact is this: you can REWARD your slaves from the "surplus" tribute, but other than that, you will never be able to get beyond 999,999,999 once your reserves are maxed.

what i read is that 999,999,999 is the max number displayed and the ammount that you can withdraw by but that doesnt mean there isnt more then that in your reserve.

well, just coming from personal experience trib reserve goes to 999,999,999. I have not noticed any additional income from slaves when trib reserve is maxed.

@ChoriChori: that`s brutal... but i think that`s a brilliant idea. Makes the current D.Maru ever more pressured to take down rival UWs.

Well....make it so the next UW that goes off will restart existing D.Maru.
So only one empire can exist at any one time.

why would you give a race that powerful such a strong income stream? with uws happening so often on tb servers, you would soon have a bunch of OP empires running around.

but SD, one way around it is letting the UW winner play an npc by forcing he/she to go a race with which they can enslave and then add the D.Maru ships to the account. something of that sort, just a thought.

well all this has always pretty much been the plan all along, trouble is it would take stephen to code in most of this. sad thing is he doesn`t want to do any major changes such as this to GC.

and honestly i`m not so sure i`d want to see him mess with the code, because usually when he does he messes up way more than he fixes

imagine it`ll be like one stop shopping. making minerals just like a.miner, making better food than terran and collective, making better commercial than viral and terran, making better industry than a.miner and terran, and not making better tax than viral and a.miner.

I agree with only after a UW

I disagree with income from enslavement

why not give it +1000% everything except tax?
