Warrior General Games

Hey all,

We've been focusing on team options recently, and I've been trying to add a few quick things to throw the player-only people a bone as well (such as the better stats tracking recently).

(No, I'm not forgetting the advanced tactics options, folks! Just trying to balance a little with some fun player-only stuff in the meantime.)

Anyway, I'm working on an idea in my head to add the basics of a "status items" option for players pretty soon. It will give them a little more to do and compete over, and will help them increase their morale by spending cash on cool stuff. Of course, it will evolve more over time, but we gotta start somewhere.

What I need are some ideas for items you can buy, how much they should cost, and how prestigious they are.

Obviously, there's "bling" jewelry, cars, a mansion, etc, but I need some more ideas of items to flesh it out more, so you don't end up buying the same medallion over and over again or whatever.

Post away!

are these going to have any ingame effect?

They will be something you can buy to affect your morale bar if it gets really low (one purchase per day).

Oh, and there will be a "world leaders" page pretty soon that will include the players with the most "status points"

Obviously the pinnacle should be a private jumbo jet costing millions and millions and meeeeellions of Canadian Dollars.

So about £3.50, or $50,000 US.

That will change the "price of poker" so to speak. Can't wait to see what level 4 people want for salaries when the money can be used for other things....LOL

A suggestion would be to give the players the option to EITHER spend money on training OR these other items. This forces the players to be smart about their training and also helps keep the salary structure under control.

Things that you see or hear that Pro athletes own that us commoners see as status symbols: Nightclubs/bars/restaurants, Fancy clothes, Pets, and things for their moms.

As a team owner I just can't get behind this idea.

I was thinking of adding a "go shopping" option to training

Also - there should be an option for players to use their money to start up their own college "scholarship" schemes, or community work.

It'd do the same thing as boosting your morale, without making you look like a pimp.

People are asking for ways to increase their morale, something else to spend money on, more realism in player wants, and something else to make it fun for their players to do.

This fits the bill very nicely.

The game does not have to be 100% about the team. There are 2048 users who have teams, and 100,000 users who do not.

Get out of Jail free Cards.

Steroids. (Occasional use only, as long term use destroys energy)

Clothing lines.

Charity events.

Can spend energy a day on things to boost moral as well, and increase status in the community. Like Spend a day at the childrens hospital.

I think the players need to concentrate on being game active, not buying bling! first!

Don't you think having something more to collect and do would help them remain active? I could see "bling" items even being unlockables where you have to reach a certain level, etc.

It's something to help players feel more attachment to their guy.

money for a night out with a chick. A night out with Britney would be the cheapest and lowest morale boost while a date with Jolie would be the most expensive and greatest morale boost

I like this idea, as a way to boost your fan support and player morale.
