The premise:
After conquering (seemingly) all Underworld factions the Hero traveled forth only to find out that everything was just the First Level of much bigger and deeper true vast Underworld. The Hero delved one level deeper seeking new adventures that definitely will be much harder that anything before…
The current state
After finishing all Underworld factions, the player receives this global bonuses:
- +4 Attack
- +9 Life
- +8 Armor
- +2 Magic
Also the player gets daily +2850 gold (okay … sort of) and +72 random ingots (totally useless).
In terms of advancing in the game that’s it, full stop. Nothing to achieve anymore. “The Deep Delver” tasks don’t really count.
The suggestion - The Underworld New Game + mode
The player is given the option to reset Underworld and start it from the very beginning:
- The player keeps all global bonuses from the previous level
- The player keeps all the Kingdoms progression (power levels)
- The Underworld Level increases by 1
- All Factions progress resets
- All Factions become X% stronger (10-15% or whatever)
- Delve treasure value also increases
- More valuable things can be included to loot (instead of ingots)
- The player advances in Underworld exactly the same way as before
- After finishing the Underworld Level 2 the player receives the second set of global bonuses in addition to the first one and is given the option to delve one level deeper.
(The idea of levels was already introduced (in the very basic form) in the Dungeons.)
