These ideas are probably bad for many reasons, but they were fun to write and think of the madness that they could cause. This list is just an idea of what adding tier based blessings would be like. The cost increases would be added alongside multiple biomes with increased rewards and possibly a prevention of players from killing people in biomes they are over leveled for. First upgrade- Same as existing with slight changes to fit in with other suggestions Cost up 10 (from normal) Requires 100 score Foresight- King’s vision +2 squares Haste- Movement cool down -8% Speed- Movement speed +8% Frugality- Piece cost -30% Wisdom- Coin level up cost -20% Stubbornness- buy pawns for base 10 gold Second upgrade Cost up 25 (from normal) Requires 400 score Perception- All pieces vision +2 squares Overseer- 2 pawns no longer count to your piece total but pawn cooldowns are increased 10% Command- max piece total +1 Bomber- Place bombs 2 squares away from you on the horizontal and vertical axis (there's probably a better way of explaining this) Unity- +2% speed and reduced movement cool down per unique piece you have on the map Third upgrade (these are all probably absolute madness) Cost up 50 (from normal) Requires 1000 score Snake- when one of your knights moves if there is exactly one other knight that could move (not on cool down) to the square your knight just left it moves there automatically (this one would probably be an absolute knight mare to code) Unbreakable- pawns automatically recapture when a piece is taken next to them, 1 pawn no longer counts toward your max piece limit. Courage- rooks and bishops have 10% reduced cooldowns and +100% speed (Rooks are just way too slow for their own good) Majesty- Queens and kings can see through bushes within 2 tiles Command- max piece total +1 Fourth Upgrade Cost up 75 Requires 5000 score Stealth- Your king is invisible while moving through bushes but is visible upon capturing a piece for 20 seconds Bomb mastery- You are invulnerable to your own bombs Horde- 4 pawns no longer count toward your max piece limit but pawns have 15% longer cooldowns Command- piece limit +1 Scrying- reveal the location of all kings on the map
