Construction Costs: 2500 Each of Space Age Hub Goods
Size: 7x7 or 8x8
Design: Circular Space Station and spinning ( similar to Star Trek's Deep Space Nine)
Connection: Road connection not required.
Production Bonus: +1 extra friend slot per level
Passive Bonus: +1 FP per level, (maybe +1% bonus for special minerals mined)
Description: Interstellar travel brings meeting more intergalactic visitors therefore a friend bonus since this is like a meeting place for space travelers. This will help people add more friends instead of choosing which ones to remove and which ones to keep. A level 100 GB would add 100 extra friends therefore one would have 240 friends in total
Maybe develop a feature allows players to "enter" their great buildings and design "rooms" within their great buildings. These rooms would give the existing great building extra attributes. For instance, The real Space Needle was a focus of a World's Fair. The Seattle Center grounds still hosts many international events. One weekend it had food booths from 150 different cultures, and another time I attended a festival that featured ancient music nd musical instruments from all over the world....so maybe players could build a room in their Space Needle that could host additional emissaries.
The real Space Needle was built over the site of a World War II Army training camp. Parts of it are still under the Seattle Center complex because the World's Fair organizers didn't have the time or the money to demolish it before construction... so maybe a player could build another room on their Space Needle that gives their city covert military capabilities.
Or maybe they could add a room that other players could visit and negotiate to "rent" some of the boosts of the host city, Maybe a world class hotel like the Chateau Frontenac could add room that allow extra friends to stay.
You might want me to stop here. I have a very wild imagination. I could go on for a long time.

Name: Mystical falls Obtainable: 1 unique BP as additional main reward for Atlantean Settlement (continues in the 10th+ settlement besides fps) Size: 5x7 Requirements: 500 OF good each Settlement unlocked by: Completion research ''Sea exploration'' (OF tech) Connection: 1x1 road connection required Passive bonus: X% chance to double recruited units when collecting the first Y collections of units (including Alcatraz) Active bonus: Instant training kits* or 25 mystery units package shards** (daily 50% chance for both) Design: At the back of the building there's an steep cliff from an high mountain (similar to Eagle
mountain). Falling off it are tree different streams of water. On the cliff and on top of it are small
buildings constructed with an Atlantean architecture. Some corals do grow around it.
The water falls down into a large pool with shallow water near the edges. At the edges rocky beaches
are located at the right side (player's perspective right). On the beach a small building with Atlantean
architecture is located from where something is sold. It's unclear what but it looks like some type
of orbs.
In the water and near the beach people can be seen unwinding and swimming in the water. In the
depth of the water occasionally an large, dark shadow can be seen swimming. Coming near the surface
before descending into the depths again. Description: The few remaining Atlantean people reward your effort to rebuild the mythical oceanic
empire of Atlantis. They help you constructing a mysterious waterfall. Rumours have it that the
waterfall possesses mysterious properties that helped Atlantis to incredible wealth and an strong
military force.
*20 shards required (instant training kit)
**30 shards required (25 mystery units package, contains 5x mystery units of each type)
The mystery units from the above package are from your own age. This are special units exclusively
obtainable through this GB or the potentially the Atlantean main settlement reward. They have 10%
better statistics than default units of your age of the same unit's type.
They appear as an hybrid of the regular unit already in the game but with Atlantean modifications.
Granting them an slight advantage and thus more combat strength. It is speculated that this imposter
units where used by the mysterious Atlantean empire to better adapt to the various battlefields and hostile
forces of their enemies. Taking advantage of their confusion and surprise due to the similarities. Some
generals even suspecting them to be able to tricking armies into believing them to be one of their own and
operating as an double agent on the behave of the Atlantean empire. Who knows? At least they appear
to be loyal to you as an close friend of the remerging Atlantean empire... for now, dun... dun... dun...

Above lvl 80 the number of daily shards will no longer increase. At lvl 100 the number of first
military units collection will also not increase further. The chances however very slightly
increase beyond this point and maxing out at 80%.
At lvl80 on you'll be able to obtain 1 instant training kit every 3-4 days (when getting 6 shards
of this kit in a row), when 5 days in a row obtaining the 25 mystery units package you'll be
able to get in 5 days 1 mystery units package.
Thoughts behind fantasy GB: An GB related to an settlement and sticking with it's theme(s) while
also being somewhat useful for a military city. The instant training kits can become helpful while in
the need of a fresh supply of new units. The Atlantean units may appear a bit lazy from design but
by cutting corners it's easier to design and giving a bit of more sinister touch to the Atlantean
theme. As they appear to be imposter units or modified by the Atlantean recruiters.
The doubling of military units was excluded from the BG and including it exclusively to an GB dedicated
to training and building up a military force quickly would be interesting in my opinion. As with the
description of the Atlantean mystery units, some could speculate and fantasies that those additional
trained units could be double agents and imposters. Send by the sinister Atlantean empire to keep an
eye on you from the inside out of your army. Making this GB overall a bit sinister in nature and somewhat
more mysterious as it hopefully does compliment it's chosen theme.
Context Atlantean settlement:
Description: The search for Atlantis made an interesting turn. While investigating an unrelated incident
scientist accidentally made contact with higher beings. Calling themselves Elvenar. They where pleased
with the given development support for other cultures and granted access to a few surviving Atlantean
people. Can you restore and rebuild the thought long lost empire of Atlantis? Special main rewards: 9 Main settlement reward lvls: 6 Timed Settlement reward lvls: 4 Embassy bonuses: 3x 50fps package shards, 5x 50 goods package**, 3x 50fps package shards* Unlocked when: Research ''Deep Sea exploration'' has been completed Game play: The Atlantean empire cycles through the previous settlement mechanics in different sections
of reconstructing the empire. Starting with the basics with no extra added twists. Jus like the Vikings to
building up a foundation. After which the economical side is constructed. Similar to Feudal Japan introducing
an trader. The third part will be building up an military force as to protect against rebelling fractions of
the rebuilding empire, seeking power but stoped and looted by you. Alternatively this could be training
sessions. The fourth part your joining a search party of the empire and building up that section of it. Seeking
resources scattered around. This is the reversed mine sweeper from the Aztecs but modified for this theme.
The 5th part is assembling the capital with similar but vastly superior gameplay than the new settlement.
Introducing chain ability for independent diplomatic buildings. Set ability for boosting coins production while
adjacent to the embassy and also adding goods production to it. While goods buildings adjacent to it
get an discount for producing coins.
At the 6th settlement and onwards of of those is randomly chosen. When forsaking the 6th or later settlement
the same type will chosen. For example the trader is picked up and you'll abandon it and try again it'll boot up
still the trader version of the Atlantean settlement. The quest lines will vary slightly at this point but each time
it'll be explained that while the empire has established a good base now. It needs to expand with more
economical, military, basic and playful parts. As for the capital version it's explained as there's an desire to
expand the capital further as the empire grows. From those 5 randomly chosen once it will cycle through them
1 by 1 in an random order. So, you won't get every second game the same Atlantean settlement.
In this regards the Atlantean settlements are vastly more diverse and complex. Yet it should feel like you'll be
traveling through a vast area, reestablishing an considered long lost empire. Since the settlement is very late
in it's introduction, introduced in the Oceanic Future. There's plenty time to practice with the regular cultural
settlements before reaching this one.
