Conflict of Nations is an excellent game actively developed by an amazing dev studio and I would gladly throw money at it, except for one thing: The fact that there is nothing for me to use my gold on except to either give myself an unnecessary advantage (let's face it, my stats prove I don't actually play because I want to win) or to just straight up throw my gold away.
And that totally sucks. There are definitely things that don't impact the strategic/tactical sides of things that players like myself would be willing to pay for. The tournament, for example, now costs 5k gold per entry and I am so happy to finally have something to spend gold on. But I want more things to spend gold on. Because maybe if we give Germanico enough money, he'll be able to hire enough devs to get mobile out, and make artillery actually have to deploy in order to fire and maybe make Paratroopers (which are like airborne, but use planes and have a much longer air assault range) and add copy/paste functionality to the Steam app. Things like this only happen if we, the CoN community, pay for them.
So I open this thread for anyone and everyone (but especially thoughtful players like @Mc_Johnsen, @Opulon, and @chrisj909) to submit suggestions.
I'll start with one that came to me this morning:
Stopping the "End Game?" button's flashing (for a single match and only for the player paying the gold)
Reason: It's soooo annoying, but it's annoying for a Business reason. Every running match requires server resources. So the flashing motivates players to speed things up. Thus... if we want to remove the flashing, then we should be willing to compensate Dorado for the extra resources removing that flashing will cost them (because now you can enjoy that match for as long as you want without a constant reminder of how Dorado really would like you to finish the match in a timely manner).
Price: I'd be willing to pay at least 2k. I'd make that much from winning the match anyway.
