So, my first thread in the forum.
I'm not against the dictatorship mechanic but obviously it needs a lot of improvements and these are a few ones that I think of.
Improvements
- To make it a little harder to the dictators, the CP (when he gets the control back) should be able to expell the dictator, meaning the former dictator will lose the CS he obtained when he won de coup.
- Following the same line of the previous idea the congress will be able, through voting, to expell any citizen they consider suspicious with the final approval of the CP (otherwise congressmen will go crazy and try to expell everybody).
- Congress will be able to ban Military Units they consider suspicious through voting and it won't be able to be used again. Every member of these MU will be expelled of it, and the MU could get some kind of "rank" to show that it was banned for attempting a coup or for being considered suspicious.
This way democracy will gain more power, since until now democracy is not necessary anymore.
- To start a coup the ammount necessary will be 200.000cc (base) plus 50.000cc per region (freed or not)
- The coup attempt will start in the capital, as it is right now.
- To win the coup the dictatorship side will have to conquer every region in the country (freed or not, and this won't block the regions in case of war against another country). In case democracy wins a region, the coup attempt will be stand by until the coup side wins every region.
- Democracy side can stop the coup attempt (previous point) by winning some region. But democracy can do something even better. Let's say a country has 5 regions, coup side already won 3 of them, so they need 2 more. Democracy wins the coup attempt to get the 4th region and they fight back in the capital. If democracy wins the capital, all the other regions controlled by the coup side will get democracy back forcing the coup side to fight all over again.
- The dictator will be able, as it is so far, to modify laws, but people will be able to fight against those laws. But how? The laws started by the dictator will take 24 hours as usual and the people against them will be able to start some kind of "revolution" against that law. The fight will be 5 rounds maximum (since it has to end as soon as possible), and it will be everyone against everyone, no divisions, no CO, no epic, like good old times. If the people win, the law will be rejected even if the dictator voted yes.
- Democracy may also fight back in some regions to protect resources. Let's say the dictator wants to raise the tax over some specific resource. To avoid fighting directly against the law, democracy could open a revolution in the specific region during 83 points, no epic, no CO, no divisions. This one is different from the previous idea since you won't fight against a law, you are fighting to recover the democracy over a specific region.
Since the dictatorship, democracy lost all sense. So with these changes I propose it will gain a lot of more power and the dictatorship will be more difficult to accomplish.
