Railroad

8 years ago • updated by 8 years ago • 4

Allow railroad segments to be built between any two adjacent locations. When travelling, a railroad would provide a speed boost. Each segment would be upgradeable to increase the speed boost, as buildings are. This could be a global effort to supplement the individual and clan tasks already in the game.

Alternatively, each clan (or even each player) could have their own rail network, but I think it could be more fun if it's global.

This could also be a way to travel to a specific location in a different region: travel should be allowed between any two locations if there's a contiguous sequence of rail segments connecting them.

(This was inspired by the American folk song "I've Been Working on the Railroad".)

I like the idea, just need to make sure it fits into the 'fantasy' theme, not sure if the BS world is quite to steam engines yet but some kind of rapid transit would be nice, sure the clan gems are cool (and a nice sink for shield tokens) but some other transportation method would be interesting as well

Maybe a clan building to clan building system (and maybe have personal to personal system as well like personal vs clan storages, etc).

Also, would be interesting that it could be something like Level 1: -5 seconds +250 capacity, level 2: -10 seconds +500 capacity, et. al. where you would still have to travel with all the various speed bonus/reduction calcualtions thrown in and you could not be overweight (other than the trans bonus)

I like the idea just needs some conversation on implementation theory

I think it fits the genre just fine. If the Flintstones can have a railroad, so can we! :P

I don't see it needing to fit into any "theme" myself, but that's me- I like this idea, but then I'm on the fence about it
