Company wide specialization

Feedback

This is a idea for a simple implementation of company wide specialization to collect feedback for a full rework to a more complex system in the future:

  • the company wide bonus is dependent on the base level experts:
  • bonus for each profession = experts in profession / total experts * total bonus
  • for example: total bonus of 75% with a cap of 25% per profession => 25% for 3 professions, 8,33% in all professions or everything in between
  • if a profession is capped at 25% the remaining 50% will be split between the remaining ones, repead for the next cap (only two caps possible)

This would make the specialization depend on what the empire actually produces where the current HQ bonus is unbalanced and inflexible (I would like to keep it in some way because of roleplay / lore but I don’t know how).

Personally, I think this would end up with pretty limited variety, (there would be 9 archetypes basically) and think specialization at the building level would be better (since it has more potential variety). But this system would be a huge improvement over the lack of specialization we have right now and would be nice to have.

I agree that there are deeper and better systems but this one is designed to be easy to make, easy to understand, represent your actual company and collect further feedback so that we can see in which direction the players want the system to develop in the future.
