StarGateWars Forums

I had an idea about a series of bonuses that each race could invoke, but costs against their normal advantages, while evening them up.

I've heard Tauri players mention an Iris, and that they'd like to see it added. It could be added as an almost total defensive measure, but prevents attack. (The Stargate is blocked)
With the Asgard it could be a "Rapid Reaction Taskforce", an massive increase in Offense, but at the cost of their defense. (Their defensive fleet becomes their offensive fleet)
The Goa'uld could have an emergency income increase at the cost of banking, they couldn't bank at all. (too much naq to store)
The replicators could lose their spy bonus and get increased unit production.

All of these would be timed, for maybe 12/24 hours.
Suggestions and variations would be appreaciated. Make comments and ask questions Forum!!

All of those are high risk (nothing wrong with that) except the Tauri bonus.

this really disadvantages the gou'ald, the tauri r protected form atks, coz the asguard have increased def their atk will be enormous , the replicaters get loads of units, and the gou'ald get all their money stolen coz they cant bank or nothin, it needs to be disadvanteged for everyone, say the tauri cant atk if their iris is closed for the 12h, the peplicaters lose their spy level's for the time but that is not much, they should also lose their def for 1.5x the unit production, the idea for the asguard is stupid and cant be done, it should be something like an increase in spy with a cloaked ship or something, since that is the only thing that has not been mentioned, i dont think anyone has ever though about the asguard using their tech to spy ever, but it is a great idea, excellent

You could make it possible for races to breach the iris, its just a thought sokar tries it, the tollan walk stright though it thanks to phase technology and the replicators hack into the system to deactivate it. What im trying to say is there are ways to make the iris have disadvantages other than those already suggested. Also if the iris was penatated it Could count like a surpise attack cause it would take the sgc time to mobalise a defence.

maybe they could launch pankakes out of cannons coz they r really flat and there is a little space between the iris, if u make enough it might make the iris fall off of it's hinges or sommin, maybe someone could change my idea???

Nice idea i like it but there's just one problem with it pancakes would not work sorry, uknow only subatomic particals can materialise between the event horizon and the iris.
Ps i like your sarcasum nice

Ps i like your sarcasum nice[/quote] u could do this for ages to make it even thinner

i will give u that one just for coming up with a responce so quick also if u think about it they could start of with home made pancakes and save time by spreding the batter out. No wonder the Goul'd never took down the iris just to much effort flatening Pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they r so lazy aren't they, i changed my forum name to my ingame name

When I said prevents attack, i didnt mean defense, i meant that the tauri couldn't attack anyone for 12hrs, and covert would drop, as they'd cease getting inteligence.
The asguards attack would be worked out from their defense, so their attack would be insane, but they'd have ZERO defenses for 12hrs, their defenseive fleets would be used as offense, simple as that.
Gao'uld would get thier naq, but cant store it, so they need to use it.
Replicators would lose their covert abiltiy yes, you try hiding mass replication!! defenses would also neeed to be weakened, as they are focusing on replication.

Thank you all for your comments so far.

Why thank you. One of my rare moments of briliance.

i am all for this as long as there is a way to still attack ALL the races.

I think this is a great idea, it seems fair to all races, now although the goa'uld wouldnt be able to bank anything, you can still bank in weapons as well as mercs. They wouldnt be at any disadvantage.
