TOP TEN
BUILDS FOR ECONOMIC WARFARE
by Hazed
We were discussing what extra builds we would like to be able to do, and the usual stuff about sports stadiums and casinos came up. Then things took a darker tone and we started coming up with things we could build to affect other people's planets: ways to wage economic warfare. Here's the rather nasty ideas the players had.
| 1. |
A slave trader that randomly steals workthings from other planets. |
| 2. |
A blockade that stops anyone from using someone's link for an hour or so. |
| 3. |
A hijacker, to steal another planet's merchant fleet. |
| 4. |
A pirate, to seize cargoes. |
| 5. |
A missionary which goes and converts other planet's workthings to your way of thinking. |
| 6. |
Some kind of plague to kill off the workthings on another planet. |
| 7. |
Junk mortgage brokers to ruin their economy. |
| 8. |
An apathy aperture - people passing through it no longer care and the economy suffers. |
| 9. |
An oil conglomerate which sucks all the groats out of the planet: their economy suffers but you get rich. |
| 10. |
Paris Hilton, a vapid socialite to distract the populace, thus reducing the efficiency of all industries by 20%. |
Thanks to Gandroid, Insomnius and Munabilo for their suggestions.
