Would like to start off with amending the fed war update 1.5 from above to 1.75. the difference from 1.3 being the normal and 1.5 doesn`t lend enough incentive to declare war in my opinion (open to discussion).
Would like to suggest a different form of Itech research for Guard as clearly the only viable form of income is tax. Strip mine would come in second but doesn`t compare to a well established tax based empire (open to discussion).
Second of all I have been thinking alot lately on how to make the Guardian race able to contribute to the GC economy via the market. As of right now Guard is almost market independent and offers nothing to the economy. Perhaps and just hear me out on this as I`m hoping this isn`t to left field, Guard had the option to convert c2 and c3 clusters into a naturally ore producing cluster that yields a specific amount of ore per turn which in turn would balance out the income issue with younger empires while encouraging and rewarding non explorable Guardian empires. Perhaps in the form of Itech research. This way the Guardian race can contribute something to the GC economy on the market.(Open for discussion) |

lmao @Darkguardian, im not a fan of Itech, but sadly i`ll admit to using it because starting as guard i went strip mine guard because tax takes so long to setup properly.
Any guard economy changes, gotta keep in mind turn base, and starting empires. Starting a guard empire isnt easy, heck you cant really do much until you get up to 15+ levels of housing, crazy how you can go negative income as guard starting up with just Infrastructure maintenance cost. |

99+ day(s) ago | Regarding Guardian - honestly, the problem is they don`t buy food or cgs as there hasn`t been a sustainable market of CGs outside of RT, otherwise guards would be better off. Outside of RT, guards are really few and their income isn`t that great without loyalty or a ton of land.
Strip mining is only great until people realize you can starve a guard by just buying out the ore in BM. I would almost say Guards are at a loss similar to a self sustaining commercial guard/viral. I think we have to change the entire economy of this game to overhaul the demands of each race. I would almost argue Guards should eat some food to sustain their lightbulbs. |
