Forums → Games → Ideas for Black & White 3

The following is a massive list of things I have made up for a number of years since playing Black & White 2 Battle of the Gods. I know this game isn't really an AG game but it might be worth something in circulation in the game making industry if this game series is ever revived. However it might be possible under strict minimal graphics to the level of texted-base-only to be an AG game I'm not certain...

before getting into this large list of things, the extremely high graphic level of B&W 2 made it not playable when I first got it until getting a new computer later, and now for some reason it is not compatible on newer computers that use windows 7 or higher. Currently I am still able to play a game called: "Emperor, Rise of the Middle Kingdom" (where most of this list is inspired from) on this computer that uses Windows 11 without any difference from back when it was Windows .98 year 2002 from disk on a USB reader-drive (Memorex) made in 2015, Emperor's graphics level is not 3D but only has shading effect that looks 3D, as much as realistic graphics are awesome, one game still plays while the other does not, so maybe 2 versions of B&W 3 is in order, basic graphics and high quality graphics, with a very slight price difference (no more than $10 off). I don't understand this stuff at all but I at least can tell if the game still plays or not, and B&W 2 was a major thrill of my childhood and is a sad dead game now as my older computer does not function anymore and I cannot find it optimized on game sites like Steam. Also; for the legal-speak as obvious as this is: this listing is a customer's request of service and in no way do I have right to claim royalities and will buy this game like any other, if I may be so bold; if Lionhead Studios want's to tribute me, I would be honored to be protrayed as the cave bum that scores points when thrown across the island named "Sir-Derp's" as that is my gamer-screenname thank you either way. Now, without further delay:

Anything written in "({[-]})" was added after the final draft sent to Lionhead Studios as true interest in developing will go beyond my suggestions and I expected certain things would be obvious. They have failed to recieve the email so far, thus after awhile I will post this listing to somewhere else on the internet, by the laws of copyright they must be informed of any videogame artists interested in reviving this great game, I am only a customer in great desire for this game series's 3rd verison.

Good vs. Evil gods, pros and cons:
-Good Gods: generate less soul energy, have weaker industry and militaries, and are a servant to their people, however their cities gain a greater impressiveness multiplier which reduces rebellion and increases chance of migrations from turncoats, thus good gods can conquer passively.
-Evil Gods: can only counter the rebellion from foreign impressiveness by destroying the foreigners before fear levels weaken from a dividing counter that increases over time (meaning desplaying your fearsome power becomes less shocking) also while evil designation weakens impressiveness, you will have to build twice as much impressive buildings than a good god would need to just to hold your people but no foreigners will turncoat and migrate to you, which allows you the fun of conquering them anyways.
-Neutral Gods: are the most difficult type to be as you cannot go past 10% good or evil, this allows you a balanced wielding of what the other 2 types can do and can be of greater power, for those who are business savvy and don't want to rely on mega bonus effects at a cost to other potential powers, thus can minimally build evil buildings for collecting (no more than 1 anywhere in the empire).

[Capital Buildings]-found only on the capital island of that God's faction.
-Alter:Stores soul energy from crystal towers, also is a giant monastary that generates it's own soul energy from worshippers, funerals, or if an evil god sacrifices, can only be one.
-Portal: The gate to the god realm, the heavens for mortals, destroying this is how to stop a god from ruling in the mortal world and prevents that faction's souls from joining their god in heaven, can only be one, can only be built by a god, and that world can still be reached but the god has to travel the long slow way through the cosmos to return to the planet if they avoid destruction in the god realm or in the mortal cosmos.
-Focus Becon: Where the mind and soul of the god is refined by mortals in either the fashion of council if the god is good and allows the people to govern themselves and their god, however evil gods will only use this to make total control over it's peoples, can only be one.
-Creature Castle: Where the god-creature dwells and respawns when killed on either deloyment afar or on defense of the capital, stores various tools, weapons, armors, and other gear the avatar uses, can only be one.
-Epic Miracle Tower: Allows the casting of extremely powerfully amplified spells or natural desasters anywhere in the world depending on type built, a casts-all-type is extremely expensive and very long charge time, has an impressiveness multiplier activate when fully charged which loses it's effect totally once the charge is used, other types have no multiplier bonus and are of less impressiveness and build cost, these 2 basic types of epic natural destaster or god-spell-amplifier towers have long charge up time and a high soul energy cost, but not as much as the casts-all-type, while castes all types are more of a proving of economic prowerness in all fields of production, as food offerings are also at a extreme consumption, can have muliples of all types.
-Palace: The main center of the people's government, the residing monarch is the god's go to for ruling their empire, can only be one. Commands can be accessed from anywhere from a side-screen pop-out-window with other command lists for the god-creature, allied gods and their nations, and a general chat to all computer-gods and/or human-gods.
-Acadamy: here elite soldiers are trained that are unique to your nationality (like Spartans or Samurai), and trains capital-city-guard who are versed in all the basic combat styles, and trains all other unit types to a faster higher starting level (5/10 instead of 4/10) can have multiples.

Trains folk into nobles who become teachers and/or governing officials on their way up to higher positions like governors, generals, high priests, or even the emperor, can have multiples.
-Noble Homes: Overly lavash dwellings where elite folk live and house their families and servants. Either will deploy on official matters to other island cities or even move their household to quality housing like mansions or manors in far off places, can only have multiples after the first one when nearby embellishments raise impressiveness in the area above a certain level, the first one has a solid silver with gold trim roof, is twice the size of any other, and requires no embellishments nearby.
-Catacombs: Where information and part or all of the dead's remains are stored, an underground network that runs deep nearly to the magma of the planet, can be upgraded as a super-void cavern, but is only possible if a very evil god.
-Ornate Wall: Great magical walls of jewels, gold, and silver trim marble infused stone blocks set in place by the god-creature and/or teams of workers (or slaves).
-Incrested Plate Road: Gleaming paths of jewels, gold, and silver trimmed fine stone that is cobbled and/or tiled, increases movement speed and slightly generates soul energy from travellers, and greatly increases impressiveness.
-Soul Energy Lampost: Contains a single soul that glows bright white if the person was willing or evil red if they were not.

[Standard City Buildings]-found on all island's cities or towns as well as in the capital.
-Crystal Tower: The conduit that brings godly powers to that island and transits soul energy to the capital's Alter. Each island can only have one in the main city of that island.
-Paved Road: Requires a dirt road first, made of properly cut stone cobble and or tile, increases movement speed more than a dirt road and slightly increases city impressiveness.
-Hut (3 types): 1-Hovel; requires no trade-worthy materials to make, an easy starter or an evil god's means to amassing a slave army quickly and cheeply. 2-Yurit; A large tent with low dirt walls, the people will be a little happier with these than a hovel. 3-Bunkhouse; A wooden cabin with stacked beds, houses more folk in less space than a yurit; still happier than hovel dwellers, increases the chance that they will find comfort in military barracks, thus increasing military recruitment rate.
-House (2 types): 1-Bungalow; Same size as a bunkhouse but with a fireplace and empty for furnature meant for no more than 4 folks. 2-Townhouse; can be upgraded up to 3 floors with a small foundation so as to be packed together behind city walls, fully upgraded holds around 20 folks.
-Apartments (2 types): Hall; large foundation but not very tall, very small rooms. 2-Tower; each level is it's own large room, considered a high-end living for commoners.
-Villa: Very lavash yet small single floor home, good gods find themselves building these mostly even for the bums to live in, despite the high cost of rare materials.
-Manor: Extremely lavash 2 floor home that can house many folk for a reduction in living quality.
-Mansion: An insanely lavash massive 3 floor house with ornate walls enclosing a garden, has many tiny rooms for servants and guards, usually only nobles on long deployment from the capital reside in these super high cost homes.
-Castle: Built around the crystal tower each island can only have one, as other fortifications are considered a fortress. Castles act as the &quotalace" of that island, and stores coinage and other treasures for safe keeping until a treasure fleet can collect the wealth to amass at the capital.
-Town Center: Every city or town only has one of these open paved spaces where the banner and news is posted, is where soldiers occupy to change banner to claim hold of the town or city.

-Hospital: Every town and city can only have one of these expandable very large buildings. Is where illness, injury, madness, births and potions are handled professionally past the common grandma's remedy methods. Temporary tents can be packed outside incase of overflow from plague or war.
-Retirement Housing: most effective when built next to hospital and/or monastary (temple), is where your people go when too old to care for themselves and are near death. Not always needed in very good empires as family homes will provide for their elders, but war and industry constraints will make need for these, so in some ways these buidlings are a bad thing, but considered nuetral. Evil gods use these to harvest the last bits of soul energy in sacrifics. Can have multiples.
-Monastary (Temple): How worshippers generate soul energy without death or sacrific, the greater the food variety and amount, the greater the soul energy generation, which also off sets the increase in aging speed from worshipping too much, acts as a low level hospital when a good-god, and evil gods use these to sacrific young life for greater amounts of soul energy. Can have multiples.
-Schoolhouse: Where children go to learn of the various things, education focus can be generalized or particularized for increase of industry, warriorship, worship, or nobility for greater science and governing power. Can have multiples.

-Markets: The general term referring to the booths found on the streets mainly in the town center or outside of warehouses, granaries, and armories, allows small trade for the people from beginner merchants who buy small bulk from storehouses, all buildings have a space near front door for stalls to form, new buildings at roadsides will fell these stalls but soon after will reform in designated spaces.
-Bathhouse: A relaxing spa of hot water, potions, music, and even sexual activity if an evil empire. Greatly decreases illness chance and increases impressiveness. Can have multiples.
-Tavern: A large apartment-like building where fine foods, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, oppium, music, and sexual activities can be found in an extreme yet controlled fashion. Greatly increases happiness, can be a degredation of the moral balance of the people, thus good gods keep these to a minimum if at all exists in their empire. Can have multiples.
-Cookhouse: Where fine foods only are prepared to the highest level of professionalism, also has music and can lower food consumption rate of the town or city. Can have multiples.

-Stone Tower: A stronger tower that is only enterable from stone wall walkways. Can have multiples. ({[Tower=Tower. Stone also holds culverin, Devs can figure that out, but also cannon tech makes butter of wall/tower/gatehouse thus wood walls again, thus ballistas only as they have faster fire rate and tower hight has extended range, lightweight, and the big fire arrow slightly explodes on impact]})
-Gatehouse: a special large tower that has multiple metal gates and pitfalls inside and a drawbridge to get over the moat. Usually sneaks will try to hide in these before a siege to let entrance be easier. Can have multiples but is better if only have one.

When has no crop fields in it has water and feed troughs for livestock. Also keeps crop fields safe from wildlife while wildbirds and bird cotes keep the crop fields safe from bugs and rodents, evil gods hang disobient slaves from whats known as a "scarecrow" which automatically appears when an evil god and has same effect as head on spike. ("crow" was a racial term used at black folk in U.S.A., ravens and crows actually are protectors of crops from bugs, but thank goodness everyone is ignorant of the truth of scarecrows).
-Ditch: a trench that can either transport water for irrigation when supplied by a watermill/aquaduct or give low cover to units from ranged attacks when void of water.
-Crop Field: is best when a farmhouse is nearby, is greatly boosted by irrigation from ditches and protected by fencing and bird cotes, some crops like rice and sugar cannot grow without water ditches, can have multiples.

[Trade Goods]-over a 120 different things, all items need containers which when empty stores or stacks inside eachother. More variety of food types increases health, happiness, and impressiveness of a city/town. There are 9 food types some needed some luxury: 1-Base; all types needed. 2-Grain; need atleast one. 3-Plant; need atleast one. 4-Sweet; need atleast one. 5-Animal; need atleast one. 6-Herb; not a need. 7-Sensational; not a need. 8-Alcohol; not a need. 9-Refined Dish; not a need. There is 4 storage space types; 1-light, twelve fits into= 2-medium, four fits into= 3-heavy, two fits into= 4-bulky. An island must be able to produce certain amount of goods per unit of game time until being considered a buying source of that item for when supplying your own islands while when trading with other gods and their nations those goods can only be sold from the capital's supply to a certain island designated by you as the foreign trade island as trade ports are a security risk. As the game has adult themes such as torture pits and breeding, "sensationals" are drugs like oppium or weed, but defined as not needed. (having only 3 trade goods "grain, wood, and ore" that could not even be traded and no ships when on an island was a major turn off for players and the storehouse exposed the goods to the sky with not even a bubble-shield to explain a perservative method vs. mold, rot, and rust). ({[ while making the game it should be obvious that the food types all have special effects as there is only 4 of each type, 1 needed food type is 25% of that type's effect, however total general food quality per item is only 5% while the 5th type "herb" is the remaining 20% of general food quality, which mostly effects health which in turn effects productivity and battle success as well as happiness., Sensationals, alcohol, and refined dish all are a 9% towards added happiness and impressiveness effect of food as there is only 12 total of those 3 types, the final 1% is "hardtack", a type of beef jerky used for supplying deployed platoons and ship crews. While when not having water causes fast death from dehydration, no salt causes food to rot faster and thus starvation happens, the 4 needed food types each have unique effects which increase the more variety you have, while herb type boosts impressiveness and happiness, grain type reduces food consumption so long as at least one of each other needed food type is combined, plant type is the major booster of health, sweet type increases birth rate, animal type boosts strength which effects certain industries and combatants. In addition; refined food types have unique effects for each item, hardtack makes platoons and ship crews much easier to supply, pastery greatly increases happiness and impressiveness, curry allows the strength boost from animal type using only dairy and furthers the effect otherwise, and sushi boosts scientific productivity. If your empire lacks at least one of all needed food types, illness, mild starvation, and over consumption of food will happen, and people will leave or die.]})
-Hand Cart: made by a carpenter using wood. Pulled by either; one person, ox, or horse. Carries 1 bulky size.
-Wagon: made by a carpenter using wood, rope, cloth, and ironware. pulled by either; 1 ox or horse, or 2 people. Carries 4 bulky size.

-Pottery: made by a kiln using clay & wood (& dirty water). 5 stacked uses 1 light storage.
-Barrel: made by a carpenter using wood, pitch, & ironware. 4 stacked uses 1 medium storage.
-Box: made by a carpenter using wood. 9 disassembled boxes fits into 1 box, uses 1 heavy storage.
-Chest: made by a carpenter using quality wood, iron, pitch, & rope. These have the special ability of not being lootable of it's contents until being processed through a blacksmith, thus thieves and raiding parties alike cannot simply make the goods disappear into enemy storage within the same game-day giving you time to recover them even when they get behind enemy lines, a timer list of each chest in the monarch window is expandable from a display-line showing the most recent stolen chest. Uses 1 heavy storage for 1. All other storage type trade items will disappear once inside enemy lines or reaches an outpost, thus counting as evil for looting enemy goods when recovering instead of a nuetral justice (as good gods see being looted as a defense failure as well as forced generosity, use productivity instead to regain what was lost and care enough not to fail at defense next time then).
-Cage: made by carpenter using wood & rope. 5 disassembled fits into 1 cage, uses 1 bulky storage.
-Horse: raised in stables, farms, or caught from the wild open plains. Requires water, wheat, rice, greens, vegitables, and/or flowers. Can be stored 1 in a bulky storage for ships, or herded on land.

-Elephant: Raised on farms and wild in both open plains and wooded areas, can only be raised and war trained by India faction, requires water, wheat, rice, greens, vegtibles, fruit, and/or flowers. Can be put on ships in 4 bulk storage space or herded on land.
-Wood: Various planks made from default stone tools, ironware consumed to define toolage and sawmills greatly increase output of "wood". Frow bamboo, oak, pine, palm, and jungle. Storage requires rope and heavy space (cords).
-Stone: Various blocks made from chiseled rock using ironware-tool-conversion. from boulders and quarries, storage requires rope and medium space per 4 units.
-Clay: Made from deposites near water ways or quarries, used to make certain trade goods as well as a common building material. storage requires box heavy space.
-Iron: ingots made from ore refined in a kiln at a mine burning either more wood or less coal, storage requires box heavy space.
-Coal: Made from mines, storage requires box heavy space.
-Pitch: Made from quarried bogs or tree sap refined in a kiln burning more wood or less coal, storage requires a pottery light space.
-Dung- Made from fed/watered animals in farms and bird cotes, used for fertilizing fields and is needed to build various garden type structures. Storage requires box heavy space.
-Hemp: grown from crop fields, reduced output when used to make marijuana, storage requires box heavy space.
-Quality Wood: Various planks made from rare trees of various sorts using only ironware-tool-conversion, storage requires rope and medium space (cords).
-Fine Stone: Made from mines, quarries and exposed deposits, is various stone types to make "marble" and certain elemental magic gemstones. Storage requires box heavy space. Marble is not a trade item but instead an impressive-building only effect that consumes fine stone.
-Raw Crystal: Made from mines, quarries, and exposed deposits, is various jewelstone types to make certain types of elemental magic gemstones. Storage requires box heavy space.

-Knowledge Scrolls: Produced from libraries and universities using paper and dyes, is generalized despite the uncountable variations of writtings. Requires barrel medium storage.({also needed for musical instruments, and if the Devs make a musical instrumental generalized trade item, it would be fine but that sort of cheapens the out the grandness of music, let 3 trade items count towards the one human act of musical art, with soul energy and certain building types as well as wilderness music playing, on ships, on streets, and trade wagons, all requiring 3 to 4 trade items of great rarity]})

-Slaves: Only evil gods and their nation's faction deal in this crime, the option to set them free on choice of wilderness life or joining your empire or another empire gains cultural moral points (concious or prestige) in the form "good god" boosting the empire's overall impressiveness rating, which allows foreign people's more daring to turncoat and join that faction what set those slaves free, thus good gods can buy them but only when recieving dungeons are set to free them.

Has a pocket fitting at it's business end for setting a magic gemstone into as there are 16 mage schools, pure energy is what all staffs can do plus the element they are set with.
-Boat: small enough for rivers, is also lifeboats for larger sinking ships, sometimes has a small sail and a single artillery on front.
-Galley: a long boat with many oars and one sail, best for short range coastal missions but can go onto the high seas as well as rivers but slower and less combat effective than boats while in rivers, better for river cargo transit and short range troop transit, has some artillery while carrying troops and/or cargo, has most agility at sea but is second slowest ship type. Mastered by Greek, Roman, and Norse factions.
-Junk: a small to medium ship who's sails allow a near against the wind sailing with less with-wind speed for an even sailing all around using a single triangle-like sail, small armament more than galleys, less agile but faster than galleys and boats, and carries a little more troops and/or cargo than galley and boats. Mastered by Japanese, Korean (south), and Chinese factions, costs a liitle more than a galley in build materials, can only sail on grand rivers, are much less combat-effective on rivers.
-Frigate: A long 3 mast ship with excellent sailing angles with the wind in any direction using both forward facing square sails and side facing triangle sails. Artillery packs nicely along it's long single deck while being slightly less agile in turning than junks, galleys, and boats, is the fastest ship, lacks boarding party strength and cargoholding. The go to war vessel for any faction, as it out-guns or out-manuvers all other ship types, costs 3 times the build material of junks, can run from persuing fleets when out numbered by turning quickly to shoot enemy sails without losing speed.
-Galleon: A large ship with a wide deep hold, can hold 2 decks of artillery with a 3rd half deck at rear that acts as a battle tower with 360 degree firing angle while carrying a fair amount of cargo, lacks speed and agility, also ideal for troop transport. Better in groups of multiples when armed which is ideal for capital treasure fleets and when unarmed ideal for singular cargo transit in short sailing routes between islands nearest eachother secured by fast ship patrol and/or combat-hulk-caravel-blockades.
-Hulk-Caravel: largest, tallest, slowest ship that only sails fair with the wind and nearly needs wind mages onboard for improved sailing which can be done with any ship type, meant for carrying emense cargo and better against coastal fortresses than in a sea fight by itself, has very many artillery on 3 long decks, or none if focusing on cargo hauling, carries mega amount of troops in cargo-mode, but make sure the sailing-path is secure, to a great cost the combat-mode of this ship in multiples can make blockade fleets that act as walls at sea, but is easily sunk by fast ships like frigates which can sail around the giant to stay at frong and/or rear as it tries to turn it's broadsides into aim at the fast ship(s), blockade lines thus need anti-flanking floatilla at both ends of combined hulk-caravel-line and interceptor-fast-ships, as curving foward to enemy approuches instead of away is better combined aiming, which is also true for attacking ships surrounding a balled-up circle of ships.
-Mangelet: a small wood wall on wheels for inching close to enemy walls against clouds of arrows, for starting a tunnel, getting arrow shot on the wall archers, throw fuse bombs at wall base, or secure an area for artillery and blocks movement of calvery charges, transported in wagon and can be moved by any unit type, most effective with 7 or more side-to-side in; line, half-circle, or full-circle formation in multiple layers to give cover for large foot-unit groups or artillery.
-Battering Ram: A small house on wheels to crash an armor headed tree trunk against wall corners and gatehouses, moved and opperated by sappers in battle-mode, by warhorse or ox in transport-mode.
-War Wagon: Armored and locked, has slots to shoot from and is mostly like a battle-tank, hand crank system turns the wheels, a single rutter larger wheel semi-forward of wagon lowers to lift war wagon off front wheels for turning and raises for all-wheel-action going only forward.
-Siege Tower: Tall lightly armored tower with a drop ramp at top for swarming the walls and carries ladders inside for scaling the walls as well, hand-pushed from inside ground level by most the melee fighters in battle-mode, pulled by warhorses or oxen in transport-mode.
-Ballista: Massive bow and fire-arrow on hand cart made for destroying other artillery and siege machines. Also highly effective vs. god-creatures, large war beasts, and ships. Culverins have longest range and ballistas are fastest rate of fire with second longest range.
-Catapult: small swinging lever with basin tip on wheels that throws rocks or fuse bomb bundles in a straight line at walls and buildings quickly at a short range.
-Trebuchet: Giant artillery piece that requires setup that throws giant rocks or large fuse bomb bundles in an arch over or at walls slowly at a long range.
-Culverin: the cannon equivalent of the ballista. Requires emense knowledge scrolls to unlock. Cannon type artillery consumes iron and gunpowder when firing various projectile types. Culverins only fire small hot-balls ideal against other artillery and small ships at the longest artillery range.
-Cannon: The cannon equivalent of the catapult. Requires emense knowledge scrolls to unlock. Only cannons can fire it's 3 ammo types: grapple-shot (2 iron balls connected by a chain, made for destroying ship masts and sails, longest range of the 3), grape-shot (many bullets for a short range blast ideal against ship crews and platoon groups), and the cornpowder ball (acts like a fuse bomb or explodes on impact with less blast radius than fuse bomb, best against ships and fortifications).
-Bombard: the cannon equivalent of the trebuchet. Requires emense knowledge scrolls to unlock. Only fires massive expensive fuse bombs slowly at a slightly longer range than trebuchet. Ideal against fortresses and wall protected city buildings.
-Meteor Hammer: A war hammer light enough to wield with one hand, made by the Chinese for a special calvery unit.

-Trident: Made by Roman to be spear better against armor than the usual spear.
-Double Edge Axe: A Norse made Axe meant for drawn out battles who's extra weight cleaves through shields and armor better than single edge axes, requires longer training time to wield.

-Schemitar: an Arabic sword with axe-like elements, giving better chance against shields.
-Flash Bomb: a Persian early tech invention that stuns multiple enemies without damage allowing easier swarming of melee fighters.
-Nangata: a Korean (south) spear with curved sword tip, a mix of spear, claymore, and axe to make weapon type strategy a little easier.
-Wand: an Atlantic mage staff that is held in one hand and emensely more powerful than the crude human staff allowing battle mages to wield 2 schools of magic thus unbalancing the battle magic system for greater power, these items are more expensive than anything as they can only be gained from the fish folk from the deep who also have submarine ships that could dominate the seas if there was any need for it, but are known for allowing foolish humans to sail the seas anyways.

[God Spells]-Curse type spells put a cost on your divine morals balance whether effecting lives or not (due to fear of your power) and evil points given much more so if harms/kills lives (even plants), while Miracle types only give small good points when effecting life, spell type spells depend on the effect only when effecting lives. All elements have 4 varieties of wielding from the mouse pointer god hand: 1-drop/thrown. 2-clickhold-drag. 3-spacebar toggle. 4-shiftkey hold & click (atranacht summon). Spacebar toggles can be stacked but drains soul energy faster at risk of forgetting to turn off.

({[obviously bubble shields will be needed for platoons invading cities as destructive god spells are an impossible defense, thus making city defense using troops as well as wind mages is needed and not a novelty, most players I assume hated this, and "battle of the gods" had a entrance to last map enemy city that was impassable with the god spell casting, but the front gates the NPC god had a forced programming to not prevent your foot units from taking the city while guard platoons ignored you in experience from memory, thus the Devs will figure this out primarily, even though combat is evil, it is also a survival instinct and I was not going to insult their intelligence with detail of the obvious, they will know to allow mage circles a unique casting of bubble shields]})
