Functional Cities & Economy
« on: November 23, 2013, 08:09:07 pm »


               Has anyone ever tried to make a functioning region system in nwn for a PW?

My current idea is this:

Regions have Ore and other resources: which NPC's mine/gather: the Ore increases the cities coffers/money.
Money is used to replace Miners, Soldiers, and other aspects of trade.


Eg: If city 1 has 50000 Gold from mining, they can buy Food from City 2 : who has less money, but has lots of farms.


Basically, I would be interested in creating an automated micromanagement system.
Simulating trade between kingdoms.
Eg: Caravans could depart from Kingdom 1 and go to Kingdom 2 and vice versa.
When the caravans arrive, their payload is deposited in the destinations bank etc

Does anyone know if such a thing exists already?

               I don't know of such a thing, but I was hoping for a reply.  I wanted to do a module based on economics a few years ago, and actually spent a while trying to write out a system for how something like that might work.  I eventually scrapped it for the story-lite, hack'n'slash PW one I've been tinkering with, but would luv to see something like that.

The module RTS - Harvest of Souls was the closest thing I played to a module that relied on an economy.  It, like it's title implies, is a combination or real-time strategy, where you collect resources with your workers and bring them back to your base, and NWN.  Very fun.
