Summary0007357: Unlocking new spells!
DescriptionI think once we get to the point of have a large amount of spells, that we incorporate the ARS mechanic. The idea is to provide a mission type at each new tier that unlocks a new spell for the player to craft.

It's pretty much a copy of the ARS mechanic in AI War for unlocking new ships. Basically you start off the game with the basic style spells that we see now (maybe we can pick a bonus spell similar to AI Wars bonus ships for each new continent) As you progress up the tier a new mission appears (once per tier) that when completed gives you a new random spell that you can start crafting and upgrading.

Although this is not feasible right now, I think after the game obtains a lot more spells that this mechanic could really benefit the game. It would do the same thing as in AI War where you have to adapt and change your strategy based off what you get from the ARS.

Adding a note here that I think this mechanic could provide multiple missions at once per tier, but you have to choose which one to complete, because once you do the rest disappear until next tier. This would add to player choice a lot, as each player would want to choose a mission that has the spell they want.

I also think this mechanic would help make new players a lot more willing to go up a tier, because they know they can get a new free spell. It would probably really also help in letting the player know that going up a tier is really important for progressing.

Isn't this emulated indirectly and far less explicitly by some spells requiring materials that need to be unlocked?
