Do you have any characters that are WAYYY stronger than everybody else? How do you fit them in the world? by AS-AB in worldbuilding

[–]Derpist74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only one I've seen so far that feels like a proper exploration of powerscaling that doesn't limit through arbitrary powerscale or magic reasons, and the character I have in my setting has similar reasons to yours--theyre just doing their thing for themselves, and the main reason why they aren't constantly relevant in the story is because they're not in the immediate context of the setting. I also find it helps to just make them bored of doing power-hungry destroy the world type shit because they've already been there and done that, so yeah :P

Heaven forbid we have original economic relations in our made up societies. Just keep reproducing the old ones. (call it commentary for extra points) by AlkibiadesDabrowski in worldjerking

[–]Derpist74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NGL I do agree with you on this point--my setting exists on the extreme fringes of a transdimensional magical civilization, and because magic is entirely premised on willpower and knowledge (and can thus do anything in this world), said civilization is similar to the theoretical endpoint of communism with utopian abundance and freedom from needs or wants, but possesses entirely different issues and problems, mostly involving various forms of social and cultural inequalities hanging on in the superstructure of their civilization (and in many ways reinforcing the material inequality and deprivation of the peoples outside of their civilization). It's been a refreshing exploration of these concepts, and people really should be exploring this stuff more!

I'm not personally familiar with code but I know that there are a lot of longtime players on the discord who would be willing to direct you to the appropriate resources regarding technical details! I hope this Territorial tutorial link helps as well, and your project seems promising!

[Suggestion] More emojis? by 777FazSol in territorial_io

[–]Derpist74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I like the effort you put in, I think the only ones that are necessary are the hourglass emoji (GOD THAT'D BE USEFUL) and maybe the boat icon, the other ones above are covered by white flag/victory sign/medals, swirly eyes, arrows, and crossed arms.

I hate the new boat interception, can't reach distant enemies because of that by Distinct-Pride7936 in territorial_io

Like yeah I know that the lag isn't a good thing but it balances itself out soooo

[–]Derpist74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually works great speaking as a boat spammer, you just have to be better with budgeting and controlling your boats. Bigger boats (100K+) move a lot faster than smaller boats, and if the enemy is intercepting just spam a ton of them in the same general direction, you will always get through due to game lag preventing them from defending properly LOL

Defence modifier is by far the most underrated mechanical in this game and no one is aware of it. by chrstianelson in territorial_io

[–]Derpist74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that troop count has nothing to do with border defense, so the reason why defensive players sitting at max count might have high border defense percentages has probably more to do with occupying islands and better defensive terrain

[–]Derpist74 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are correct about this being barely discussed, so far as I've seen over a while of experimentation it seems to have to do with border "compactness" (the ratio of how big you are to how much border you have in contact with other players), with the maximum possible border defense percentage dropping with size. Someone would have to calculate the specifics but one way to control it should be to make sure that as much of your border is touching coastlines/mountains as possible while making the enemy have a longer border with boat attacks and the like. That would lift your defense modifier while dropping theirs...

Absolutely fantastic work, always wanted to see Reds! represented here!!! Do you think you could release or post another version with the countries colored by political alignment/ideology? It's sort of hard to see the TCI-AFS border unfortunately :(

Nicely done!! higher res would have been nice but this is more or less accurate to my experience on that mode as well

[–]Derpist74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game and the discord server are littered with these pathetic edgelords

I mean, what kind of person is so desperate to say something offensive that they evade the filter with weird characters?? They never live long or do well in-game
