:. Land Converting

Land converting

• You can turn/convert a your current land areas into 5 different types
• The cost of converting land would be:
  Current land cost *1.5
  
• Underneath The "Area of influence" there could be 6 different boxes that show how much you have each of these land types:
  1. Normal land areas (The land as we know it now, Not converted)
  2. Industrial areas
  3. Holiday resorts
  4. Residential areas
  5. National Park areas
  6. Military areas
  
• After you reach the cap of that land area, you cannt buy it anymore
• Converted land areas DO NOT affect your population per mile and are still calculated with the same formula as now... (which i think is: [amount population] / [land area])

Losing/getting rid of it:

• You can sell it... for 1/4 of your current converting cost, YOU WILL ALSO LOSE THAT LAND (It wont go back to normal!)
• Can be captured/lost during battles with a max cap of 5 miles
  (This can be shown in a new box in the battle screen maybe ?)
• I havent thought of the actual numbers how to calculate the battle/nuking things things...

Resource bonuses for converted lands

• Coal - Increases amount of all converted lands by 1%
• Furs - Lowers land converting costs by 3%
• Rubber - Increases amount of all converted lands by 2%

Bonus resources:

• Affluent population - Increases amount holiday resorts AND national park areas by 4%
• Asphalt - Increases amount Industrial areas by 2%
• Automobiles - Increases amount Residential & Industrial areas by 2%
• Construction - Increases amount Industrial areas by 2%
• Fastfood - Increases the amount of holiday resorts by 2%

^ Even if you have 2% extra lands the max cap is still the 1000 miles (100 miles for military areas)

A suggestion how to make this:
after you click the land-selection in the nation transactions on the left you get this window: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5793/land...menucopyue2.png
(just like in military options)

and after you decide what to do... you move to something like land purchase screen, but instead you convert it something like this:

========

Converting choises:

Industrial Areas
Lowers infra cost by 0.01% and upkeep by 0.005% but reduces enviorment by 0,01% every mile of Industrial area up to 1000 miles

With 1000 miles of industrial areas your stats should be:

• Infra cost -10%
• Infra upkeep -5%
• Enviorment -10%

Holiday resorts
Increases population happines by 0.006 for every mile purchased up to 1000 miles

With 1000 miles of holiday resorts you would get:

• +6 happiness

National park
Increases enviorment by 0.03% and happiness by 0,002 for every mile purchased up to 1000 miles

With 1000 miles of National park you would get:

• +30% Enviorment
• +2 happiness

Residential areas
Increases amount of population by 0.006% but reduces enviorment by 0,005% every mile of residential areas up to 1000 miles

With 1000 miles of Residential areas you would get:

• +6% pop count
• Enviorment -5%

Military area
Lowers soldier cost by 0.01$ and upkeep by 0.01$/soldier and increases soldier count +0,05% by 0,01$ up to 100 miles

With 100 miles of Military area you would get

• Soldier cost -1$
• Soldier upkeep -1$
• Soldier count +5%

========

With total of 4100 miles of converted lands (Including all types!) you would get:

• Infra cost -10% (Industrial)
• Infra upkeep -5% (Industrial)
• +8 happiness (Resorts 6 + National park 2)
• + 6% population count (Residential)
• +15% enviorment (National park minus Industrial and Residential)
• Soldier cost -1$ (Military area)
• Soldier upkeep -1$ (Military area)
• Soldier count +5% (Military area)

ps. Should there be small upkeep to converted lands ?
because i cant think of any good formula atm... so suggest something :)

I like the idea, but I don't think the admin would add something this complex to the game <psy?> .

It would probably be easier to set up a system of land-based improvements. :P

tho I suppose in the end thats all this really is :o

So you voted no ? :((

and its not complicated <psy?>

Actually, I didn't vote at all, I just wanted to add a comment :P

I think its an interesting idea, I'd like to see it implemented but it would most likely be a lot of work for admin

Long but cool suggestion. I want this implemented!

I support this suggestion in your last post, I will support it again. Sounds good :J.

Interesting idea my friend.

Well... this seems to be going well so far...

Yes [ 24 ] [82.76%]
Yes, with changes (Plz post) [ 1 ] [3.45%]
No [ 4 ] [13.79%]
Total Votes: 29

An interesting idea, I would like the converted land types to be visible on the map and make it possible to place your improvements there as well.

Wow now i like that suggestion i would love to be able to see the improvements and land also as the map isn't used much!

:D good suggestion BUMP BUMP

I think I've seen this somewhere before. <psy?>

i think , coverted land are too specific , like: nation park, and holiday resort.
it should be something like forest, industrial, residential, institutional, agricultural etc.
therefore more broad theme.

anyways i like the idea.
