Regional Cards

Postby Dorab » Thu May 14, 2020 12:08 pm

Are they likely to be in S3? What would they look like? And is there interest? I think region cards would be really cool, but I don't know how they would work out.

I like the concept of regional cards. However, if they were based on badges, then all of the 'legendary' regional cards would be 1 or 2 nation regions. Personally I would make the rarity size based (or to combat puppet regions, endorsement/influence/population based).

To the argument: why are these necessary?

Why not? More things to collect and spend bank on.

Mhm, having a population over 1,000 should give guarenteed Ultra-rare status, while influence would be the other major factor. They could be mixed in with nation cards, or get their own special packs.

Lol! I'm just imagining tag raiders going into overdrive before S3 is released.
Can you imagine where almost every region card you pulled featured a TBH flag?

That, and the various anti-fascist raiders giving people more cards to gift to the fash and their ilk.

having a population over 200-400 should give guaranteed Ultra-rare status, 100-199 population for a guaranteed rare status 50-99 for a a guaranteed Uncommon status.

might I ask you what do you mean by regional cards ?
I have three regions, but only the Dragon pacific is card Farm, is used for Card farming purpose, other two region, are nations, in which I try to enact specific policies and play as self-collectors. with the goals to collect 40 copies of their own cards.
so what do you mean by regional cards exactly ?

Shouldn´t you have enough "to collect and spend bank on" with about half a million national cards ? If not, you maybe might consider to "collect all of them"... :p

I have a collection of 11500 rares and a collection of 1500 '2' cards already, not to mention my main deck and the rest of my S2 legendary collection on another puppet.


Regardless, 68000 of the existing s2 cards belong to CTEd nations, and a good majority have default or irl flags, which are boring. So yes, please, give me more cards :P

If you need to spend more bank, you could spend it on actually paying for your storing space (13,000 would cost you a pretty money, I guess), instead of overstoring or having them in puppets ? Or if that´s not convinient for you, why not simply gift your bank to poorer nations, like me ? 8) :p

I still have things to spend bank on, don't worry. As for storage space, well, nobody really upgrades their capacity past a certain point... exponential growth is expensive.

I just think that regional cards could spark some more creative collections, and generally another fun set of cards to interact with that will likely be much more unique than the thousands of default flags in seemingly every pack.

¸when i think about it, we had (regional cards before.), as the 4th card, from any pack would always come from your region.
obviously this was removed before people created region solely to collect themselves.

This cannot be correct, because if this would have been I should have drawn a dozen or more "myself" cards, since my own region consists of only four nations (almost from the beginning); maybe this was hadled different for small regions, because I´ve drawn only a single "myself" in all the time, and, as I seem to remember, none of the other three (nations).

I think the OP is referencing cards that represent regions. For example, the North Pacific would be a card.

I didn't play when the mechanic existed, but as far as I'm aware this there was a substantial buff in getting your region-mates's cards during the original April event.

Yes, I meant cards representing a region. Now an interesting question is what would happen with regions with no flag?

That's an interesting concern, I personally have no idea. A blank card would be too boring...

Yes, indeed. I wasn't playing at that time either, but I heard it was abused by players moving to regions where legendary card nations were located, in order to have an increased chance of pulling an expensive card.
