Except for doing such unproductive stuff as showering and doing laundry, I\u2019ve drafted out the intial idea. Thought I\u2019d share it with you.<\/p>\n
Base tile types:\nClay \u2013 together with water and a worker gives bricks\nMoutains \u2013 together with two workers gives stone\nForest \u2013 together with a worker gives wood\nField \u2013 together with a worker and water gives food\nWater \u2013 nothing, but provides water to nearby hexes\nSea \u2013 together with a worker gives food<\/p>\n
Created tile types:\nFundament \u2013 created from stone, allows for building tower, on rock it doesn\u2019t require stone, on water it requires two rocks, and on sea three.<\/p>\n
The tower:\nBuilding new levels costs a bricks or stone and half that in wood per level already built, plus food for each worker, and as many workers as levels are also needed.<\/p>\n
Workers:\nYou gain workers by area of influance. Area of influence is decided per tower level. 1-5: radius 1 (up to 6 workers), 6-10: radius 2: up to 6+13 workers. And so on.<\/p>\n
Workers actions:\nWorkers can either build, produce or do nothing. Building costs food. Produce costs nothing.<\/p>\n
Roads and channels:\nChannels gives water to distant hexes. Roads makes it possible to transport goods. Costs nothing but a build action per hex. Can be built beyond influence point.<\/p>\n
Ships: Allows fishing further away.<\/p>\n
Alt. 2: Must build quarry, lumbermill, farm, brickmaker etc before getting resources from them. Or else have them as optional bonus givers? Could also build\/work beyond influence, but at half speed?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Perhaps a bit too much stuff, but it\u2019s just so I have where to aim.<\/p>\n
