Node policies

Node policies.

Nodes have a number of slots that they get to employ as Government policies that are enacted and chosen by the mayor and voted on by the people; and certain policies get unlocked by certain happiness states of the factions within the node; and those happiness states are predicated across different achievements that can happen in the world story arcs that get finished; bosses that get killed around you; new buildings that get constructed: Lots of different things can contribute to that happiness value: Number of citizens; number of citizens you've had leave; number of houses that might have been foreclosed upon. There's lots of different things that influence it, but when the happiness is met at a certain point- and even without that happiness you can still have policies that you get to enact regardless. You may choose policies that do certain things for the node; and this is a big strategic decision that the node has to almost agree on because it's voted on by the citizens within a short time period, but elected by the outstanding mayor; and when you deploy a policy it confers benefits to the citizens, or to the area, or to specific buildings, or to the mayor. – Steven Sharif

Example node policy.

Node policies affect a variety of node functions, such as taxes and fees, building and zone buffs, and node-to-node reputation activities, such as trade agreements, and node wars.

• Alcaldes propose node policies that are voted on by citizens within a 24-hour or shorter time period.
  • Policies are voted in if the majority of voters approve of them.
  • Mayors can utilize their available mandates to bypass policy votes.
  • Mayors may also be able to take emergency actions depending on certain predicates that get met. This might allow them to reduce the voting threshold or voting time for policies.
• There are a limited number of policy slots available to be proposed. Some policies occupy multiple slots.
• Node policies that are deployed will provide benefits to various aspects of the node, its citizens, its ZOI, its vassals (in some cases), specific buildings, and to its mayor.
  • Certain policies may affect the visual appearance of the node.

Some of the benefits you can receive by being a vassal of a certain parent is access to a policy that your node not might not normally have access to; and in fact you can also unlock an additional policy slot based on certain conditions that the parent or Sovereign node may have access to in their reliquary, or in their achievement systems, or in policies that they've elected. Some policies occupy multiple slots and it's almost like a card structure. You have each of these policies that live on a card and you get to select that card- throw it into the slot it goes out to the citizens to vote on within the 24-hour or sometimes shorter period. The mayor has emergency actions they can take right depending on certain predicates that get met and if an emergency action occurs they may be able to spend their influence as mayor within their term to set up a policy for a vote within an hour's period of time; and citizens in that way they can sneak it through a bit. – Steven Sharif

Policies are unlocked by various conditions within a node.

• Node level.
• Node type.
• Dominant node race.
• Building choices.
• Location of the node.
• Events, such as node wars and node sieges.
• Node happiness.
  • High levels of happiness will unlock more policies. Low levels of happiness might even disable certain NPCs or services within a node.
• Logros based on the completion of story arcs.
• Jefes de mundo that are defeated.
• Node citizens gained (or lost).
• Carcasa del nodo foreclosed upon.

There's a lot of different things that policies can influence; and policies exist within certain denominations. You have some policies that might be reflective of the culture that the node is representing; and you get access to those cultural policies. You have some policies that might become available because you've constructed a certain building type and now you've attracted a guild of NPCs that are weapons smiths. You might have some policies that are social organizations representative- you only get to build one social organization or Temple: which religion does the node follow. All of these are customization points that the city gets to choose and now you as a citizen get to identify the city that best aligns with your progression within the game and your game style and gameplay. – Steven Sharif

Parte de la siguiente información no ha sido confirmada recientemente por los desarrolladores y es posible que no esté en la hoja de ruta de desarrollo actual.

Mercenary guilds will be a viable way forward for different organizations. I think there will be a lot of business to be had with that; and one of the systems in our trade agreements is creating an escrow for those particular type of arrangements that we're looking into. – Steven Sharif

Guerra de nodos

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

El gobernante del nodo puede declarar la guerra a otro nodo e involucrar a los ciudadanos en la causa.

• Esto marca a los ciudadanos de los nodos en guerra, incluyendo a sus aliados, como combatientes.
  • Las misiones que implican organización social podrán ser tanto cooperativas como de enfrentamiento en función del estado de guerra de sus nodos madre.
• Un nodo vasallo no puede declarar la guerra a su nodo madre o a cualquiera de sus vasallos.
• Las guerras entre nodos se podrán declarar en cualquier momento, pero los objetivos solamente aparecerán durante el "prime.time del servidor".
  • Los jugadores podrán matarse unos a otros en cualquier momento durante la guerra (no solo durante el prime-time del servidor).

We have conditions that you can set between nodes with regards to either nodes being friendly with each other and acting trade alliances, or they can declare war on nodes similar to how guild wars may function in different games, where those citizens become hostile to each other based on the player government that's elected in the particular node. So those systems all cater to allowing a conflict that's meaningful and that also provides a non-imbalanced relationship between stronger guilds and not as strong guilds. – Steven Sharif
