Ideas for the History page

Postby Llorens » Wed May 30, 2018 12:49 am

Thought I'd just share a couple ideas I have for the regional History page. In my opinion, it is really weirdly formatted and very under-utilised.

  1. 'Population' was a great addition, but I think regions (especially ones with lots of puppets) would find it much more useful to have WA population as well. I have no clue what sort of logistics would be required for such a thing, but maybe something to consider?
  2. 'Longest Serving WA Delegate' seems like a really out-of-place feature. I think it would be better if all the WA Delegates and their total length of service were included, or, at the very least, the nation who has served the longest in total, not just in one period. The current stat is especially weird in a region like mine where often the longest-serving Delegate can just be the one who was slowest to descend from the position after being unelected.
  3. 'Major Events' can be much better used! For one thing, all those embassy changes just dominate the entire list and make it kinda boring to look at. Instead, I think it would be cool if there were different categories of major events, including Delegates, Embassies, and perhaps you could even let the region themselves make some of their own major events (maybe apart from a blanket maximum number, it could depend on how long the region has existed for?).

What do you think?

NOTE: I have no idea what sort of effort would go into making these, so I've tried to keep them as reasonable as possible without limiting them too much.

This seems like a great idea. The History page could be utilised much more. There could also be customisable features.

Exactly! Could be particularly useful for new nations too.

Could not agree more. The regional History page is definitely lacking more interesting stuff.

According to this index, this civilization is:
Tier: 8
Level: 5
Type: 6
A 9 civilization because I lean more towards it.

This nation is always used to post in the forums unless the forum is the WA, for which I use Triangle and Square, a WA member, to post.
