Night Time

mfiel50 · 01.09.2013

Me and my alliance members have discussed an interesting idea of adding night time. This would include certain hours during the game in which would imitate night time with slightly different graphics (darker, owls?, moon?).
It would also include slower travel speed during those times and later warning to castellans. Also you would be able to add lights to increase travel speed also increase early warning or take away lights and reduce early warning.
Another idea presented was that Robber Barons would only attack or mostly attack at night.
You could also make deco items that are torches and If you don't have them it slows down production speed and construction speed at night in your castle.

Think about it
Any Ideas?

I think that sounds cool, but I imagine it would take a large overhaul on the part of goodgame so I'm not sure they would go for it. If they could it raises the potential fro other weather scenarios too. snow? storms? those really muggy days when everyone sits around in their pants!! I like it :-)

its a great idea i like it

good idea but as there are different servers in different timezone it would be very hard to put in place and probably cause alot of other bugs

This is good in theory. But it would completely change the way good game empire works.

I like it but GGS won't 1st it will be to complicated to make with different time zones. 2nd when people attack you they will know your time zone.

I think that anything that was related to real time like this would be applied to server time not to the time zone of the individual. en1 would have darkness during the night in england regardless of whether you were playing in australia or on the moon.
I still think that it would take more development than gg would be willing to put in though... shame!

What about the Int servers, what would the timezone there be.

I was going to say that question:(

Now back to the story no, been ask many times already.

Going to post my reasons later.

I was thinking that it wont be 12 hour days and nights maybe just 3 hours

mfiel50 · 02.09.2013

Exactly what I meant the Time zones would be set to the game not to any individual country or timezone

the major problem with this idea is that while yes, it would make the game interesting. it also adds another layer to an increasingly complicated structure for attacks. I mean where would thise torches go? would they be tools? if so more detail on travel speed, cost, etc. also there would need to be a ruby and armourer version, what would these do.

The torch deco sounds alright, but what about high level players who juggle their food to around +1 or lower per hour and when we are in the negative every few minutes counts and such a durastic change "overnight" from lack of torches would cause lots of starving troops, especially if you are assuming most of the server is asleep at this time so no adjustments can be made.

then there is the international player side. Most servers (yes even aus1) have a lot of players that are not from that particular region. Some regions the time isn't that big of a difference but for others, you can be on the other side of the world and it would suck only being able to do stuff at night when for you it is day, imagine only being able to send your attacks at night and always having to buy "torches" and making lots of torch decorations, imagine how annoying that would be. From playing on an international server myself I know how annoying it is to play when everybody else in your alliance is asleep but it does make an alliance stronger and these players are quite valuable so why try and turn them off joining the server?

Good point, I guess it doesn't matter what times it is set too, would cause a big problem :-s

Yes I play on UK myself even though I live in the USA. My team is quite happy that I'm there well they sleep but if this update does happen I'll have to quit UK1.

good idea, but it would have to share a common time. I'm thiniking eastern for US world, GMT for international ones, and respective times for every other map.

FamousZack9 · 03.09.2013

Alright to my reasons why this is not suitable.

1. Constant changes to sunset/sunrise
2. Internationals servers
3. Night attacks
4. Can I not participate in this if I want
5. If I want to change my time, can I do it for free or will it cost resources/rubies.
6. lags
7. I think GGE will not add it

Personally I think this idea should be on the "not suggested list."

BUMP I guess?

mfiel50 · 03.09.2013

First of all my idea involves a country standard time
I live Australia and everyone in Australia would run in their own time kinda like how the people out the front of your castle (merchant, shady character etc.)
It doesn't have to be changed constantly there could be a time table near where the alliance and rankings sit which stays the same and doesn't relay on days just an G G E time if you want.
I am pretty sure if this goes ahead they wont really appreciate minor groups opinions
I understand that GGE may not do it, they don't have to
You shouldn't be able to change your own time if there is a country clock
Whats wrong with night attacks? I am sure if you are a higher level player you would do it
The game seems to manage the people out the front of the castle well enough

mfiel50 · 03.09.2013

I was talking about non real time related changes that run for 3 hours not 12
I don't think the drop in production would be overly big, maybe something like 12% for three hours at a time
and the day break in between could be longer to build up again
