Game Development: Prelude pt. II

[Orcling]

This map has too much fucking water. I liked the previous mountainous map more. Horses useless now. Water everywhere. Is waterworld.

Trade in your trusty hoss for an infinitely more useful boat

Boating is fucking boring. This shit reminds me of w7.

as primitive beds are made, do not unlock me

Yeah, those things that work as a limited land boat with no carrying capacity work so much better

In w8, they worked much better, because there wasn't a fucking river or lake blocking your way every 2 minutes of walking.

You seem a tad angry.
How about you come up with a good solution (that isn't another wipe, obviously) instead of just lashing out like this...?
You do know the devs could just easily give horses the ability to swim at a reduced speed, or something of the sort. There's an idea.

Can you elaborate on the bold part a little more because I don't understand

Without necessarily telling the entire story, there is a global rate of "refill" of these resources, which is divided among the sources that have been picked from. If there were two geysers in the entire world and you controlled them both, you would get as much brimstone regardless of whether you harvested from both of them or only one.

If that is not an incentive to make a gatherer bot I dont know what : all the brimstone in this world belong to the one who have the best ping.
That is game breaking, think about it please.

I must admit don't quite understand how a bot would help you.

If this may be what confuses you, let me clarify that you do not collect the resources "directly" from the global pool when you collect them. You collect them from your local geyser(/whatever), which is then refilled by the global pool whenever it feels like refilling it. You don't have control over that process.

Hi! Just dropping by to say this, good job jorbtar on the direction for hnh! I'm liking how the game is going.

So, just to confirm, a bot could not be used to completely dominate such resources, just a local node. Even ignoring a bot, not even one faction if they can't control all such nodes. Right?

Bots, at the very least, can be stopped with a simple claim.
Game start is still horribly unbalanced over how fucking broken those icicles are. All nodes should've spawned empty when the world started.
