[.76][SUGGESTION] upgrade or raze outposts

January 29, 2012 5:59:39 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums


I haven't had a chance to play .77 yet, but I didn't see a change to this in the changelog. 

Outposts currently don't have a raze or upgrade (to city) option.  Really it is just a crutch, but I was careless and built an outpost where I wanted a city, then I couldn't change it..... or remove the outpost.....

From a gameplay perspective, I'd prefer just the raze option for outposts, as otherwise late game I could see people just upgrading every outpost to a fully blown city.

They must add raze.

You can't just turn outposts in to cities. there are many checks that need to be done to see if this is possible. (distance, food,materials)

Uprgade to a city no, but it would be nice to have a slot or two in an outpost for defenders to be stationed, or allow hero's to rest and recuperate.

it has been suggested elsewhere, but also the idea of having outpost upgrades would be nice, something to customize your outposts to get maybe an extra something out of the resources in the Area of influence, for instance.

I would like to see:

 

  • Garrisons (you can put units in as garrisons like you can in cities)
  • Defence upgrades (fairly expensive so they are not just automatic, but things like extra guardians and fort-like upgrades would be nice).  Its currently really annoying if a minor archer or something sneaks in and takes out a resource outpost that could easily be defended.
  • Make them captureable.

 

Upgrade to city won't work because they won't be on arable land (+ too much city spam).  I quite like the current system of cities and outpost provided the mechanics of each are improved.

Just upgrades that fortify it/increase controlling area and maybe heal garrisoned troops faster.

I definitely think they should be capturable.
