Prelude: World 12

[Kirche]

Lame, siege system was looking promising.

Lame indeed, but if claim shenanigans are the only real outcome of it, it will make noone any happier, unfortunately.

[Teilur]

No. The old activation timer was always unchanged.

Several quick questions:

1. Will local resources begin depleted, as in w11?
2. What season and what day of the season is the starting day of w12?
3. Does the iron q still get an increase with 10% chance during hammering the bloom? If not, how will be blacksmth's credo modified?

[vatas]

No it increases linearly from 0 to 1 over the course of 4 weeks, passing an infinity of possible decimals on its way there.

So does this mean claim can have, for example, a power level of 0.5 and require 12h ram dry time for palisade?

Yes.

Indeed.

[MrBunzy]

Make personal claims not have power levels. If people want to be safe from siege they gotta make a village. p-claims can be left in as early game theft deterrents. Overlapping claims no longer an issue, problem solved!

Indeed.

Could use integers instead of visible floats for that one. Or just make it visible as a percentage of 0%-100% without a comma.

It will, indeed, be displayed as a percentage in game.

Please write a full description in a patchnote then, it's not obvious as 24*0 in that context seems to be 0 indeed. And yes, some people are too dumb to get what does linearly mean.
Hey, glad that you neither backed up with your plan, nor made people uncomfortable, by taking a hold on things to think it through!

Any changes to credos tree/cost?
Wanna try implementing this suggestion

I'd like to suggest a solution here - give a village totem an aoe buff (that'll affect members of the village that are within n tiles from the totem) that reduces the amount of stamina spent on actions like digging/leveling, cutting trees and building, ect. for a limited period of time after the village is founded. As far as I remember the most stamina-draining actions were scouting, mining (should remain such, as it's not bound to 1 place, and can't be abused with such buff) and clearing space, paving and building a pali for the future base.

to reduce the amount of poor labor alts at the start of the world, who'll be disposed after building a village?
Did you look into archery ballance? I'm very, very happy with the changes you've made, but I must admit that in some aspects it can become more powerfull that I suppose you've wanted it to be. We've ran a few tests, and there're few observations and suggestions right here http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/vie ... 48&t=67243.
TLDR power scaling (comparing to MC power progression) is a bit harsh, maybe adding cheap "Primitive Bow" with lesser stats (primary "cast time") instead of current hunters bow to soften a curve, ajusting shooting speed down a bit, and making it less profitable to shoot while moving will help? Might as well leave things just as they are and look how it'll go.
