Exponential positional cost

OK...dead basic. The cost of a positional increases by double for every additional one you buy.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Human Blitzer: QTY= up to 5, Start cost 40'000

Amount they cost as you buy them.

1st = 40'000 GP
2nd = 80'000 GP (Average = 60'000)
3rd = 160'000 GP (Average = 93'333)
4th = 320'000 GP (Average = 200'000)
5th = 640'000 GP (Average = 413'333)

If you loose a positional of that type then to replace them would be the cost of the next multiple up.

IE. If you started with four of these blitzers and lost one of them (Regardless of when they were bought) then to replace them with another would cost 320'000 GP.

You could say it was the ego of the players that decides the cost as they need a big weighty purse to entice them into playing next to other potential limelight stealers...make up your own reason.

Nice idea but probably unfair to many races in comparison to say Dwarfs or Amazons whose linemen can be as good as a positional.

So if you wanted a 5th blitzer you would basically be willing to say he is worth 12 linemen.

I like it but you'd have to re-jig the inducement system to cope.
