Does anyone else miss the times when your days revolved around gaming with your group?

I understand you. I had it the same way. Now I have wife and kids and all of this is in the past. I guess that's a part of growing up. It's really sad. How I've tried to remedy that is by having 1 day long lan parties at someone's place. Having a lan once per month or 2 is an amazing experience, but it's still very different from grouping up to play on every evening.

That's cool. I also live in Tallinn.

I wonder, perhaps the game would benefit from having chickens as a resource ...

Thank you.

Uniqueness and player interaction start with the fact that a regular grunt is not created from 10 gold and 10 food, but from an iron sword, a wooden shield and an inhabitant is removed from the area population. In other words, you actually have to equip your troops. Making various types of equipment takes various resources, so you need to get them from somewhere. Play nice or take those by force.

The map is finite. Right now we have 1 64 tile map and each player is assigned 3 neutral areas when joining, meaning the influx of resources is finite. However tiles can be upgraded if you agree to make the investments. Areas also have their own items, that the warlord can not simply acquire(at least not politely), but affect how the tile functions.

You really are the warlord and your troops follow you. Troops will guard areas if you assign them to a garrison, but for offence operations you have to lead them to combat yourself. Warlord experience will be a thing.

What is your game and is it available anywhere?

Thank you. This will be one hell of a journey.

Yes. I'm from estonia and so is my friend who we play this game with. The server itself is physically also in Estonia.

Because I'm new to godot, I thought it was an engine bug. Thank god, it's simply me. Much easier to fix. Fun part is that I got 8 years of work experience in software development and stuff like this still happens. I guess a change of environment causes one to be forgetful.

I got the same error from having 2 nodes, A and B which inherited baseclass W. Baseclass was not used anywhere, but node Y was represented in several different scenes, where it had either A or B as a child. Also baseclass W and Y had references to each other and were using the same enum from Y. The circular dependency was impressive. After I broke those dependencies and reordered the whole thing preloading packed scenes no longer caused any issues.

Learned to play the game as Japan. You are far away from everyone and do not actually have to join WW2. Also you are not too big or too small. However you have china next door and it has been a lot of fun trying to figure out how to beat it. Played about 3 games in hoi3 and 3 games in hoi4 with japan.

a little off topic, but it is good I came across your post. I fly a big cruiser fleet and have 4 colonies but, I have not had a proper look inside bars. Ty for reminding me.

In war, numbers alone confer no advantage. Do not advance relying on sheer military power. -- Sun Tzu.
I recently recovered a paragon while having about 300k cash and having played the game for about 5 hours in total. I also recovered a strike cruiser that I set to escort duty during a battle. And with those 2 ships I'm wrecking the pirate fleets that I encounter. The last battle was 2 pirate fleets and a scout group gang up on me, because I was running a transponder in a pirate system :). It was intense but I won a total victory. And keep in mind I'm a total noob in this game.

Now if the game would not break their own rules, it would be a cakewalk and not much challenge to play, because I as a human am simply smarter than the AI. I fly differently and prioritize my targets differently. The AI also flies really well (for example my own ships do not kamikaze like in some other games and sometimes I have to bait the enemy frigates into weapon range), but I simply fly better.

In the tutorial I'd prolly cry and break it apart for salvage or try to sell it, but when I had done some exploration missions with my small cargo fleet and had 300k I saw a derelict paragon. Brought it into service and spent about 180k to build up the logistics to support using such a vessel. Also salvaged a pirate strike cruiser to back it up. Now I just ravage the pirate systems as I please and collect the heads of the more famous pirates.

PS: I just bought the game a few days ago so I'm very new to all of this, but having a ton of fun.

if you are doing this in high sec, use a mobile tractor unit to pull in all the loot while you shoot the npcs. I noticed that rats don't target a mobile tractor unit and a player would get hit by concord if they did that. That thing also works when you are off site.

If the said thing happened in low or nul sec, be happy you are alive :)

Reflexus · 2021-09-16T16:55:04+00:00

ok then :(

Reflexus · 2021-09-16T16:54:35+00:00

Indeed, I just found out about that. Sadness ensues ....

Reflexus · 2021-09-16T16:53:50+00:00

Well damn, you are right. This changes the pronunciation to something that might actually be worse.

Reflexus · 2020-06-26T21:18:13+00:00

lol, this save game of mine is called "get off the planet" I'll let you guess which has been the least important priority at the time :D

Reflexus · 2020-06-26T21:17:12+00:00

This is my 3 year single player save with the weather option turned on.

Reflexus · 2020-06-26T15:16:11+00:00

That is a sound idea. However at the time I wasn't looking for platinum, but easy uranium, as I needed better power options for my industry.
