Some ideas for Erepublik:
(Please VOTE so everyone can see it)



A. NEW BUILDINGS:


1) A new type of business: Repair Tools


In real life, buildings need repairs so why shouldn't we have this here to make the game more interesting ? Houses, Hospitals & Defense Systems (+ any other future buildings) will have their own "wellness"... or better said their own durability. For exemple, a house can have 100 durability points and every day will loose 1 point. To repair it, you will need repair tools. They will work like this:

Q1: +1 durability point
Q2: +2 durability points
Q3: +3 durability points
Q4: +4 durability points
Q5: +5 durability points

If you don't repair it, when it reaches 0 durability, you will loose the house. This new business can use as raw materials iron or wood... or maybe even a new type of resource so then there will be 1 more type of business.


2) Airport


I don't know if it takes times to travel from a region to another or it's just instant traveling (because I never traveled in Erepublik since I play it) but I know it should take some time... teleporting it's just... well, we are not playing Star Trek here.
What's the airport for ? The airport will be like hospital and defense system - every region will need one. It will help to reduce traveling time like this:

Let's say you want to travel from region X to region Y. Traveling between these regions takes 24 hours. If there is an airport in the region from which you are starting the trip (region 😵, then it will give you a speed bonus:

Airport Q1: +15% speed bonus (so traveling will take 20 hours and 24 minutes)
Airport Q2: +30% speed bonus (so traveling will take 16 hours and 48 minutes)
Airport Q3: +45% speed bonus (so traveling will take 13 hours and 12 minutes)
Airport Q4: +60% speed bonus (so traveling will take 09 hours and 36 minutes)
Airport Q5: +75% speed bonus (so traveling will take 06 hours and 00 minutes)

(The time needed for travel is just for exemple)

If the region X doesn't have an airport but region Y does, you will not get any speed bonus. You will get the bonus when you will travel from region Y to region X.


3) Power Plant


Again, this building will be like Hospital, Defense System and Airport - every region will need one. This will be the most important building for economy and will make the difference between developed countries and developing countries. Why? Because it will give a productivity bonus for all the companies in it's region like this (% are just for exemple):

Power Plant Q1: +20% productivity
Power Plant Q2: +40% productivity
Power Plant Q3: +60% productivity
Power Plant Q4: +80% productivity
Power Plant Q5: +100% productivity

In my exemple, you can see it's importance. In a region with no power plant, the companies will have no productivity bonus. In a region with Q5 Power Plant, the production will be twice as much as in the region without power plant!


Curently you don't have too many options to develop your country so the airport and the power plant will change that a bit.


B. NEW GAME OPTIONS:


1) Article categories:


I must say from begining that this is not my idea. I've readed about it somewhere, in another article (but I don't remember who came with the idea).
There are lots and lots of articles every day. More and more ppl join Erepublik so the number of articles are also increasing. When you write an article, you should be able to choose a category for it, before you publish it. The categories can be like this:

Military
Economy
Political
GOV (for official government articles)

etc...

This will help ppl to read only what they want... so when you want to read the newest articles, first you will choose which category of articles you want to read. If you want, you can choose to read all categories.


2) Stock Exchange:


I don't think I must say much about this. We have an economy, we have companies... we should have a stock market too so citizens and companies can buy and/or sell shares. Also this way we can be able to see for real which companies are the best and we will have some real corporations.


Hope you agree with my ideas.
If any admin wants more info about any of my ideas, pls contact me.
Also pls VOTE so all the ppl from Erepublik can see this article!

Thanks,
