New "set" of upgrades

For the next upgrade i had this idea. I tried to keep it simple and keep it balanced for the different races.


Gou'ald - Cheaper Unit Production (To simulate enslavement)
Replicators - Cheaper spies, maybe 500 less each? (Because Tau'ri and As'gard get smaller prices for their special units)
Tau'ri - Get rid of negative defense modifiers (Nobody likes them)
Asgard - Get rid of negative attack modifiers (Same reason as above)

I like some of those ideas... but it seems to favor the goauld way too much...

Replicators may have an advantage in spies, but really, they dont buy tons and tons of spies to make 500/spy save any money at all..

The tauri asgard will probably argue they were gipped again, as they think they shouldnt even have that disadvantage anyway, so they would think the goauld/replis are getting something while they're getting nothing.

And as I said, the goauld would gain a lot of power by that idea, and would become the best race easily...

I do like your idea for the goauld, but I dont think its balanced...

Well, I personally am a Tau'ri and I feel kind of "gipped" because on the front page it says nothing about negative modifiers, in this way at least there would be nothing like that.

Plus, the gou'ald thing. Forum could make it so it would be fair, maybe a 5% discount on the unit production or something like that.

What are your ideas for a replicator upgrade?

How about no cost for Unit Production Upgrades?

Seriously, they should be getting a Unit Production Upgrade instead of a Covert Bonus. The Goa'uld should have the attack bonus, and the Tar'ri should have a Research Upgrade, when research is implimented.

Umm.....

No cost for unit production upgrades?

Thats kind of dumb.

Then they could get an unlimited amount of people per day.

Also, the race bonuses arent going to be changed at all in the future, at least for a while.

LMAO.
Being a replicator, as much as I would love to have free unit production upgrades, that would be a godly ability :-D
I like the bluntness of the_hunters comment: "thats kind of dumb" lol


Really, I dont have a balanced suggestion for the repicators at this moment, give me a minute to think..
(i do have ideas, but some are either too powerful with those suggested abilities, or too weak... hmm....)

:shock: *Mod removed* if anything is not fair that would be it. having an infinite number of troops per day, depending on how longu wanted to click, some ppl have spent over 100 mil naq on unit production talk about not fair :!:

- Mod - No name calling please

tell the truth i'm against any changes coz i've spent alot of naq on unit product i.e. i have well over 300 now.... so if it gets any cheap what happens to people like me? do we get any cash back?

im inclined to agree with dougy, upgrading unit production for me costs nearly 1.7million for 3 extra units if that was to be halved or whatever it would have cost be probabley nearly 50million in the long run.

ok i just thought of a good bonus...

for replicators instead of getting 3 extra units per unit upgrade replicators get 4, this may not seem like alot but really it is.

i personally don't like the idea of anyone having cheaper upgrades on unit production cause they are such an important part of the game that i feel that everyone should pay the same and have the same +3 units per upgrade. also it would most likely get people to save up a lot of naq and then switch to rep to get +4 everytime then switch back.

No..... definitely not a 50% reduction in cost.
More like ..... 5%.
Anyway, if you were to do this for the replicators, then what will the gou'ald get?

Um, an attack bonus? (Tau'ri should get a research bonus.)
