I have my HQ at the artifact site on the moon, is there a reason why i cant put my research points towards the artifact rather than the usual resources?

Thanks for the reply Dread... I agree that it should be a rare item and not traded on the market like other products, I like the idea of trading it with other players, cheers

You know we can already trade the items which we get from the research ... e.g. that funky A5 dimensional ...

Being able to trade actual research points.... I dunno the effect will be marginal unless there are some very tightly constrained timed events which require some particular artifact to be researched.



Yeah i get that... it was that with my HQ on the moon, the only resource there is the artifact... just looking for a way to lessen the overcrowding penalty smile .Making artifact research raidable would make thing interesting lol

I`m not buying the "monuments" don`t have anywhere near enough cash atm... main reason for moving has always been the slight bonus to research for having HQ on site, i`m more interested in growing Lewis which will mean mainly geoboosters being produced

It could work so all defences are transferred to the ruler of Lewis as it is their responsibility to grow and defend the city, if/when ruler is elected out, moves or quits then said defences should be transferred to the new ruler

The city manager hold defensive structures plus one ground unit of each type. I had initially thought that there should be no industry other that research allowed on the Lewis to prevent anyone from getting undue influence on the election of the city manager. But that deprives the city manager of use of his HQ bonus. It also means Lewis would have ever increasing infrastructure demand, so I propose that the city manage gets a monopoly on infrastructure on the moon while they hold office. That should make the job profitable enough to be desirable. It will also provide an incumbent advantage, but not one that's insumaountable if we put the same level caps on infrastructure structures.

Agreed... not sure about the one of each ground unit though
There should perhaps be a convention against carriers of fleets entering moon space without clearance from the Lewis City Manager. No reason anyone else should need more than one ship there at a time unless a city manager needs to be forcably removed.

Agreed
I think there should be a convention against standing orders to defend anything other than your own Corporation on the moon. wrote:

Agreed

The City Manager should be obliged to always have all of his units, except maybe commandos, to always be protecting the area. Attacks from AI threats will be attacking the area anyway so you will get the benefit of the City Manager's defensive structures.


Agreed

The person in that position will presumably be there it's the support of all world leaders, and I think we should include a mechanism for future leaders to make adjustments without nullifying the charter. If that puts too much power in the hands of the city manager we could just give them the power to call a vote on the issue or give the emperor veto power over changes.


I prefer the idea of a vote to set production level... if one particular Mayor is struggling he/she can always lower their own level less than the agreed amount to reduce costs

Agreed. I think for transparency purposes you need to name the research station after the city it represents. If I'm checking to make sure everything is kosher I'll just count the active research stations and make sure no city names occur twice. I would prefer it be the Mayor of Madrid who is responsible for raising the issue if someone that is not authorized is purporting to research on behalf of Madrid.

It should be up to the City Manager if whether or not he wants to actively investigate those things. In fact, I suspect preferences for how active or hands off a city manager may be the most important division in the constituencies voting for city manager if we ever get someone vying to challenge the incumbent for the position.


I like this idea, was thinking about it earlier, it would make it much easier to keep track smile

Rereading the charter, I realize we neglected to address non-research civilian structures. This is important because it can tip the balance in elections for City Manager.

I had previously suggested that other construction be limited to a level 5 infrastructure factory of each type to be owned by the city manager. I figured a monopoly on Infrastructure would make it the loss of HQ bonus on other industry worth while.

Or we can just leave it as it stands and let anybody build anything other than research.


Loosing the HQ bonus, responsibility for managing the research facilities and apart from the artifact zero resources does make the moon undesirable, i could have stayed as mayor of london and taken my place at the table... i`m quite happy to tick along on the moon slowly building the population even with the lvl 5 cap on other industry... but then i`m completely biased on this subject smile

I know I am arguing against my own position but I see a problem with only allowing the city manager to have other industry... If the stakeholders turn against the manager then they would have to salvage everything they had built on the moon which could be devastating, I agree that the position should not be invunrable but like you have said, there is a price for the position and that should be taken into account... let's see how things play out for a while smile
