Game Development: Civilization Census

[Rift]

or failing that.. weekly.

[quote="niltrias"]For scale, I say we use something not in current use. Like a league. Maybe make 1 league - 100 squares? easy to measure off in tens, and 5 leagues would be a fair distance.

Also, I love the civ thing, but I for one would rather see more intense and less broad effects of homefires. So with, say, 5 homefires, anywere could be level 2 and with 10 level 1, but the effect doesnt spread as far. Then you would see scattered islands of civilization with danger in between, which I would much prefer.[/quote]
awesome idea.

Changing the falloff rate might be nice; alternatively, increase the resolution, though that may be more difficult that it sounds.

Also nice would be a daily update to the visual map, too. I'd like to see the safety of some areas "live", and see the world view of our constructions.

I think having it updated every few days would be a nice compromise.

resolution? you want it to be like 20000x20000 pixels big or something? Even if you want that, it would still mean a single tile is represented by 4 pixels.

He means making the map grids smaller so that finer changes can be shown in the census, but that's probably no mean feat.

[sami1337]

Oh right of course. I am not sure if that matters much though.

[Peter]

Server just restart?

[sami1337]

Yes.

How many hearth fires and/or cabins are required to lower the area by one level?
