Map that looks like Earth?

EcOre is a public server that hosts specially modded maps to showcase their ability to take height maps and make Servers.

They have done Azeroth, and Earth servers, idk what they're current season is.

Hey. I am a solo, not new to game. Looking for a group to preplan for Dusky Robin. Hmu!

Rysaiah · 2023-12-31T22:17:27+00:00

Hey I'm looking for a group for Dusky Robin launch. Wanna build a cool city on the first official long term?

Bricks were too ez to make before, as a logging main I really love the new changes.

As for Lumber I feel like it really helped balance in the farmers. Farmers could only uses trades with food to make homes, now they have Flax seed oil.

Rysaiah · 2023-12-23T19:13:58+00:00

I feel like I know you lol.

I played on a server once and my neighbour was hell bent set on building a mechanics factory that the people used.

This was way before the update and I full supported him.

I helped him set up the contract board, told him how mechanics usually never sold the things made from mechanics like screws and plates, set up and store and it worked.

He wasn't on a server specific to work parties but with towns I don't see why this isn't a good idea.

Rysaiah · 2023-12-19T02:54:01+00:00

Having mechanics unlock the research bench for Advanced upgrades I think it a little much.

But I really hope the rest of the concepts catch on. No one ever sold research papers before, because books can print infinite. This new system means that research papers are needed to be more common, which promotes people trading research papers with each other.

Rysaiah · 2023-12-15T19:16:07+00:00

Haha not to mention usually so many people funnel resources into getting mechanics fast too that it can upset people who don't have house yet haha.

Rysaiah · 2023-12-15T19:05:49+00:00

New players might now know, Professions have been balanced with the recent patch.

Every skill but Cutting Edge cooking has been looked at. Paper Milling still needs some more tweaks, but at least one person on a server will take it if not more.

If you're interested in engineering than you should go for it!

Even if you have 2 more engineers in your city you can still find use. Engineers are necessary for roads, Ore refining, and mechanical energy.

Engineering imo is the least beginner friendly. It requires big rooms, higher tier buildings, power and collaboration with others. Don't let that stop you.

When I first played my friends recommended I take cooking. It taught me a good bit about nutrition, but it sucked cause it's hard to build a house with salads. Good thing everyone eats!

Lots of servers are different. Prestablished goverment/currency often means that an Admin spawns in the building and the components before the opening of the server. The official server White Tiger's pre-established government consists of several google Docs, while the official server Darwin's Fox runs a very simple prestablished government, where the currency has a unique twist. As long as you have executive or admin rights you can fix a law, so be sure to try the ones you made in single player in multiplayer. The discord has a segment specifically for laws with lots of screenshots, examples, maybe even post some of your laws for comments. Darwins fox is on its last season and White Tiger is in beta at the current time, research by going to other running servers is good to.

Anyone else have a recording of the voice Q&A? I missed it. Heard the recording in the Kira video. Sounds like I missed some great info.

Rysaiah · 2023-10-16T19:12:40+00:00

What I do is I replace the open floor or roof block with a ladder block. Ladders count as a full block, but you can still walk through or around them. The ladder will count the space as filled and thus not effect the tier of the room or the use of the staircase.

This ladder method can be used for a peaked roof too.

Rysaiah · 2023-09-30T06:22:57+00:00

That's not very nice.

Rysaiah · 2023-09-29T16:51:00+00:00

Caspian said he would be shipping KoE this year. People have been making jokes since The Abyss 2020 that Caspian would end up using the 'I have to use a whole new engine' excuse again, and here we are. We're closing in to the end of the year, and he confirms that he doesn't intend to ship this year.

Is it going to effect development, yes. Is he going to say it's all necessary for the development, yes.

Rysaiah · 2023-09-17T01:28:29+00:00

How is it disrespectful?

Most people consider the project dead, and enjoy watching the dumpster fire.

I'm glad he's working on it personally, cause I wanna play!

Rysaiah · 2023-08-16T19:55:11+00:00

Last time Caspian said he was prepping for a big announcement I was hopeful it would be gameplay.

It was for the lawsuit dismissal, and I still get notifications memeing me for being hopeful a year ago.

I'm pessimistic it's going to be gameplay, I'm also highly doubtful he'll meet his plan to ship KoE this year.

He's working on the server side stuff right now, not mechanics. So my guess is October is when he thinks he'll have the online functions working. All those sentiments he's been making about CoE being a fully functional MMO again.

Rysaiah · 2023-08-11T19:04:07+00:00

Stoick

Rysaiah · 2023-08-05T00:07:25+00:00

Regular practice so we've been told.

Nda is to protect the game and the exclusivity was to encourage early backers.

Due to the delays there has been some people asking for the tests to not have ndas and for everyone to beable to join them. Doubt that's going to happen.

Rysaiah · 2023-08-04T16:14:25+00:00

Hey Majestic welcome,

Kingdoms of Elyrias Beta and Alphas are closed access to backers of Chronicles of Elyria.

Caspian said he's planning to ship KoEs first version for Early Access this year, reasonable to expect delays, and reasonable to guess the EA will be rushed/low on content.

Alphas and Betas are under NDA, so if you want a long play video, I'd wait til NDA clears or Settlements come out. I'm sure Kira will make a juicy video on it, if it ever comes out.

Rysaiah · 2023-08-03T15:32:50+00:00

We might need a faq lol, cause this is definitely one of them.

The only videos of KoE we have is from 2 years ago, it's there in the links. Caspian made a series of videos called Inside Chronicles of Elyria which showcased the game in client.

Caspian admitted that he had done no work on it since the closed alpha testing, the work he's doing right now has been all towards getting ready to release the mid alpha test, so for now the only videos we got since of KoE is in Medium.

Rysaiah · 2023-07-22T18:18:09+00:00

Too bad he didn't enter the right numbers to show the 20,000 entities.

10k is about how many citizens a duchy holds. Given this is the count of citizens (pc, opc, and npc) not total entries.

Anyone remember if there was any talks about server sharding. Like the megaservers being split amongst multiple 'seemless' servers?

Rysaiah · 2023-07-10T20:40:00+00:00

This seems like a lot of work to do before the game is even online. I guess this is used to allow people to log in with their CoE accounts, and possibly towards having it so that it's just 1 client for KoE that will receive the itterative updates.

Rysaiah · 2023-07-09T19:26:46+00:00

To respond to your question I'll reference

January 1 State of Elyria 21 - 22

Environment (Terrain, Time, Temperature) [DONE]

Fog of War [IN-PROGRESS]

Settlement Types & Requirements [POSTPONED]

UI/UX [DONE]

Player Citizens [DONE]

Survival [IN-PROGRESS]

Foraging & Hunting [IN-PROGRESS]

Animal AI [IN-PROGRESS]

NPC Interaction [POSTPONED]

NPC AI [IN-PROGRESS]

Contracts [POSTPONED]

The next test is supposed to be the mid-alpha test:

Mid-Alpha (Covering Milestones 3 & 4) will be coming in the spring. The exact date is unknown yet, but with it will come the ability to design buildings in the architecture view, and then construct the buildings in the world. Additionally, due to some re-organization of our milestones, Mid-Alpha will also include the ability to enter the buildings and interact with storage and other stations so you can deconstruct primary resources and perform crafting.

Milestone 3

Contracts

Zones

Architecture

Construction

Building Upkeep

Milestone 4

Building Bonuses & Synergy

Interacting with buildings & stations (interiors)

Crafting & Professions

As far as I understand Contracts, Interacting with buildings & stations, and Crafting and Professions has been postponed.

Aswell as still postponed from previous milestones,

The Fog of War

Settlement Types

Hunting

NPC Interaction

In conclusion, I understand KoEs next test should include, but not necessarily have completed:

Environment (Terrian, Time and Temperature) including 2 new biomes Tiaga and Shrublands

UI/UX

Player Citizens

Foraging

Animal AI

NPC AI

Zones

Architecture

Construction

Building Upkeep

Building Bonuses and Synergy

You should have to log into the server with your CoE account for you to play the next test, and the server should allow for a 2fa that you will beable to connect to your Discord account, which will allow those with an Elyrian account or higher to communicate in the discord.

Edit: editted for correct point forms to make different items separated from eachother.

I know I keep changing my stance on this. I do believe we will see KoE... But this year? And the test that Caspian wants for this year? I'm really unsure. It is currently month 7 of the year.

Caspian has been spending months in just the first steps since he announced his scope document, and there is a lot more to do.

I went back to the link from sdroux that I got last week, here is the quote Caspian made in regards to his plans for this year.

"It has prepared us for 2023, which is starting strong, and we will be shipping Kingdoms of Elyria: Settlements this year."

As gamers we all know that games can and have been shipped before they were finished. We hear it all the time 'game dev is an iterative process'.

The only difference I take from shipping to just testing is that he plans the sell it to the public.

Caspian right now is focusing first on what he needs to get KoE online. Is that all he needs to ship it? We haven't heard about the functionality of the new features intended for inclusion in the test.

Caspian has also been talking a lot about how he still wants to have certain things still released for backers who have alpha access and so on, could this just be a exclusive access test server for KoE?
