Poll: Courthouses

[swagled]

How can courthouses be best improved? (You can vote for more than once choice).

[War4ever]

i kinda like courthouses the way they are....if we make everything too powerfull what fun would that be ????

[Tiberius]

I think Courthouses are OK. I'd reduce however the corruption level caused by the distance from the capital.

[vmxa1]

Dang, I like all the choices.

[star mouse]

dropping the cost to 60 would be good ...

If you give them culture points, they would allways be destroyd when capturing a city.

There ok as it stands..

Yes that would be a good idea, it would also be good to give them 1 culture point.
They are IMO efective enough vs corruption.

[Boris Godunov]

I think they're good as is.

Frankly, I'm not too happy with the AI's city diahrea, and I think that the coding needs to be fixed so that the AI won't build a city in a location that is so far away from their capital that corruption will reduce their production to one shield per turn until they can build police stations. That would avoid the ludicrous expansion and the huge swaths of 1-sized, useless AI cities.

[alva]

True Boris, but if the human knows this, he will (mis)use this info.

Then should be a restriction for human too, but that would get as much critisism,
if not more, then the settler diarhea thing

[Boris Godunov]

Yeah, it would have to apply to the human as well. However, I think humans are less likely to build a bunch of useless cities in far flung locations. The AI doesn't seem to realize how useless it is to do such a thing.

You could also say, that the colony needs improvement
Afterall, that is their function. Not that anyone uses them , wich is a pitty because it is a good concept.

Yes, I don't use colonies as well. I rather not spend two or three workers building roads and a colony, only to have it absorbed by the enemy within 10 turns.


The Courthouse is good as it is. I find nothing wrong with them.

[DrSpike]

Courthouses have their place.....you just need to know where to build them. Colonies have no place.

all i think it that they should be quicker to build, how meny shields they take now?

And any ideas on what it should be?

Well, in 1.29f they are 8 sheilds with 1 maintenence.

I think that sounds about right. You don't want to dish them out like water early in the game. If you want to make it easier to build them, I suggest 7 shields, no less. If you want less, I suggest you balance them out by increasing maintenence to 2 or even 3.
