Shadow Drain π
🕑 Added 2024-05-20 12:00:48 +0000 UTCHere's more deets about Shadow Reign as a whole, and about how it'll influence the whole Kingdom!
Shadow Population doesn't drop or rise normally.
If the Kingdom is peaceful, the Shadow Population will remain mostly stable.
As wars happen, the Population from suffering Reigns could decide to leave the Kingdom and enter the Shadow Reign!
Suffering: a Reign "suffering score" is calculated by comparing their Powerπ‘ points to how many wars they fight. It's also influenced by their Princess not being around anymore, or by low Population.
For the same reason, Life Force will also influence the chance of Living/Undead Reigns to be in a Suffering state.
Here's a skeleton that's biting a bit more that she can chew? And she had no gums to begin with!
Just like Mouse drains Wealth π from the other Reigns weekly, Shadow will drain Population daily from Suffering Reigns, becoming stronger (or weaker) over time!
Shadow Reign's winning condition will be tied to the amount of Population they have! How that'll happen will be shown, or at least hinted at, in their events!
To make this new mechanic even more intrusive, I think it's reasonable if a Reign loses 1 Powerπ‘ points after conquering another settlement!
I'll begin running intensive tests now, both with normal game starts and REMIX Mode ones! Tiem to STRESS.
