Card Battle (WIP)

[The Federation of Kendor]

Welcome to this game. As it's name said, you will battle other players with your own card deck. It's based on an idea I read from a thread. More will be written as I get more ideas from other interested players

Mechanism:
- Health will be based on population, divided by 1000
- Nation's can use all cards in their possession. However, if they want to use their own, they must have that card
WIP

[A m e n r i a]

I'm interested. Tell me more.

[Halazy]

Got ideas for mechanics? Maybe population is somehow tied to attack/health?

[Misthas]

This sounds like a great idea. You've piqued my interest; but could you please provide the link to the aforementioned thread?

[Aguaria Major]

Just interested: anyone out there have the Aguaria Major card?

[Bombadil]

Yup, and it's on sale for .55

Really?

I will take your suggestion. More population will give more health, as well as attack. However, your nation's attacks will be done, based on the flag of the nation card you are using, with two options per player. For example, take my flag. I have two options, use the Eagle or the Sun attack. Also, if you have a card of your own nation on your deck, you will get 10% boost for every card. If you have a puppet of your nation, 2% boost

This sounds like a great idea. Maybe population = HP, and each stat = an attack, where green = 1000 damage, bronze = 10000, silver = 100000 and gold = 1000000? Not sure.

Aguaria Major, you can check who has your card. Just view it (there should be a link on the top-right when viewing your deck) and from there you can see. For example, at the moment, 3 people have my card (Vilitia, Kingdom of Irhk and The Democratic Marxists) but 5 people have found it ever (The previous plus Stachistan and Kwaj).

Can't wait for this to happen.

This definitely sounds cool I am interested.

Cut down the number of zeroes by a lot. Numbers that big just necessarily get cumbersome to work with. I know you're just throwing that out there, but I see a lot of games start to choke on numbers like that.

I was only using those numbers because populations are in the millions. We could always divide those numbers and population by 1000.

[Joushiki Nante Iranai]

Also, who here has an Epic card or rarer?

[Halazy]

Got two epics on me.

[Joushiki Nante Iranai]

Got two epics on me.

I've got one, somehow on my first pack.

Yeah. Also, since we use NS stats, I have an idea again. I mentioned that there are two attack options before, based on the flag. I will add to the latter idea, by allowing attacks to be based on the factbook or main page too, though there can be only one attack based on both of it. The other will be based on the flag.

In addition, the attacks will have a multiplier, based from one to six. For example, with my flag, the Eagle attack will have two multiplier, while the Sun have six multiplier. So, to use it, you will have to sacrifice cards based on it's rarity in game. For example, to use my Sun attack, I either need one legendary or six commons

[Misthas]

I'll buy the epic.

[Viraemia]

I pulled an epic while looking at the thread lmao

You know what would be cool? A bonus for having similar cards (e.g nations with similar ideologies, similar culture types, etc.)

Since we used the NS based mechanism, then you will get a bonus if the card has the same government type as your nation. Also, you will get another bonus if the card is in the same region as you

[A m e n r i a]

Makes sense, though it would be a lot cooler if the bonus was based on cultural similarities instead of actual regions, like some kind of bonus for having 5 German cards or something. I know, it sounds impossible, but still pretty cool, right?

[Firaxin]

I've been thinking of this too. Perhaps the nations WA classification can be its "class". For example, Pychotic Dictatorships have High attack rates, but don't synergize with other cards. They also have weak damage and health making them ideal early game cards. Right Wing Utopias have extremely low costs for their rarity, along with a good amount of damage and health, but they can only attack 3 turns after being placed.

Interesting. I will consider this too

Also, i need someone to help me arrange the suggestions into the game's mechanics

Cool idea!
