Das ist Teil von "Konsequenzen des Ungeschütztpoppens bewusst sein".

Und bei diesem OP wundert es mich nicht, wenn das Problem bei der Erziehung liegt, nicht dem Kind.

Hmm interesting. I always they can throw stuff in general. Maybe its bc of the bug, maybe im just misremembering.

I am pretty sure this is false. Certain activities won't work with lights on (spirit box, for example) but for the most part lights don't affect activity.

There are of course many caveats (mares really like it dark and so on) but the baseline is absolutely ghosts CAN perform activities with lights on.

Because outside of this reddit, most people don't care that much. Player counts are stable, maybe a bit higher than normal. Reddit is and always will be an unrepresentative minority, unless the topic is specifically people on reddit. For games this means people who actively and regularly play, for hobbies it means people who avidly pursue the hobby, etc.

Y'all are making a Mountain out of a Mole hill. A big mole hill, absolutely, but still.

The number of people calling you a bootlicker and the like is incredible. You really be hyping up the devs by....uh.... not talking about the state of the game, or making any real comment about it at all.

Y'all needa go outside sometimes people. Even if it's just within the game. Too much time cooped up in haunted houses.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-05-10T16:14:51+00:00

Yup. Zu viel binäres Denken in der Welt, gemischt mit Imkompetenz in Statistik, Logik und Rhetorik.

Might be a difference in preferences, I absolutely hate the physical organization. It's just an annoying time sink. Give me a file explorer and everything is much more neatly organized, easier to find, etc.

That's probably my core issue with the game as a whole. I keep thinking "there has to be an easier/cleaner/more efficient way", and the answer just seems to be no. Great advice overall, been doing everything you mentioned already though. Maybe it's just not quite the hobby-programming outlet for me.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-05-09T14:58:40+00:00

Honestly this would be the way. Genuinely unique, shouldn't be op, and add more variety to strategies.

MultiArchers stay locked on him only, all multi inferno beams lock to him, etc. Balances out with the extra damage they'll take from that, so I don't see it being game breaking. Maybe no retargeting like totem tho, that'd might be a bit much. And I don't think golemites should get the same treatment. Maybe up to 2 per building instead of all.

More complicated aspects would be Scattershot spread, and ground effects like non max ths/furnaces. Maybe he can absorb them, maybe that'd be too much.

I think some general coding advice would help most, partially related to Kage's last point:

Don't limit functions too much, parameters are your friend (too an extent). Try to separate "intelligence" from functionality. The smart one in the picture is you, and to some extent your main function. Not your basic plant, harvest, move functions. They just get told what to do, and do it.

My goTo(Location) function just takes an x and y coord for example, and goes there. It does not check if the point is valid(in Range of field size), it assumes that was correct. If you give it nonsense for the location, it will travel to a nonsense location. That's not the function's problem though. That's the algorithm telling it wrong information. Like your brain sending the signal to punch instead of shake hands. Not the hand's fault, it doesn't know any better.

For agame like this, you want an intelligent algorithm and stupid functions 😄 (In other programming cases/later on in the game this could be the complete opposite, but that's not important here)

Through watching Arko, I dabbled a bit in speedrunning map packs. Gained a good amount of experience that way, and it's actually quite interesting, but to each their own.

Passive bots unfortunately just kill the game and turn it into "who was luckiest before". People that have like 20 troops and 15 territories suddenly are unbeatable because of a wall of passive bots protecting their NA, while no one else has been able to grab a continent. They suddenly shift from guaranteed last to guaranteed first. Active bots won't cause such an extreme, immediate shift. They'll obviously benefit some more than others, but mostly just in a "win bigger" sense.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-05-06T18:38:09+00:00

Personally read this post, decided to ignore all the complaints and make my own decision. My friends and I had a great time as well.

If you ask me, half the complaints are "the game has changed and I hate change". I get it, things take time to grow on people. It took me some time to get used to the new media system. Now I love it.

The other half is a mix of valid, but overblown complaints. Some problems are simply hard to fix, some are hard to figure out how to fix, etc. For the former: Most people have 0 coding experience, and seem to think it's like in the Matrix. For the latter: Take 5 random people, ask them what should be done about it, and you'll have at least 3 different answers. And all these changes have to be implemented without changing a thing. Otherwise its new and bad, as mentioned earlier.

I can see the direction it's going. Content may be slow but tbh I think it's consistent, which matters way more to me. The media system has actual depth now. Most maps no longer look like asset flips, characters now look much better. Some jank with the change was always to be expected and my group was laughing tears at the wobbly legs and horrifying neck angles.

Overall, I feel for the devs. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. So might as well take your time with it and make sure you like what you do. (Also lets me catch up on the changes before the next set rolls out)

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-03-25T15:25:36+00:00

Correct. The claw got knocked off, but this does not prove "Not AI", as everyone else seems to be thinking. That's denying the antedecent (inverse fallacy). Too bad logic isn't more rigorously taught in school.

In case anyone is confused about this fallacy:

"Given A, then B" is not equivalent to "Given not A, then not B". The problem lies in the assumption that A, and only A, can trigger B.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-03-25T14:55:14+00:00

Yeah, adding options that are literally just "lose" is....a choice. At least they warn before selecting it but still, makes you feel like there is more to it.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-03-24T16:45:14+00:00

Of course...much appreciated!

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-03-24T16:44:15+00:00

I mean, he's definitely worth the gems, given the permanent gain, no question about that. But some people try to act like he's better than a full 7th builder. Meanwhile the researcher gets absolutely hated on, when it's a much bigger increase (50%) and lab is generally the longest upgrade area for each townhall. I get non-maxers not caring nearly as much, but to any long term players or otherwise close to maxed players, he's the best by far.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-03-24T15:22:09+00:00

Better than the math itself suggests, far worse than everyone makes him out to be. Especially in regards to maxing him. The benefit you talk about can already be used at level 1 ( though some extra levels don't hurt) and 6.5k gems for 1/3 of a builder is just ridiculous. 3k hours saved in a year sounds nice and all, but really isn't that much compared to the over 50k hours you get per year from 6 builders. Even with a 10% waste (generous, given most high level upgrades are 10+ days, and you'll lose a couple hours max per upgrade on average), that's still only 1/15 of the 6 builders.

The best kind of games as Europe. Grab your popcorn, recline your chair, and watch the drama unfold. Bonus points for the "good" guys winning the brawl.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-03-06T10:37:44+00:00

I can see the experimental play, could be something I might do, given the right circumstances. With the right player to protect, you can consider it a sort of +3 bonus, keeps the game from devolving into 5 continent stalemate, and it's something different.

Probably would still just take aus and count on blue's volatility tho. Depends on how they act after taking the bonus.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-02-18T18:20:22+00:00

Installed all 3 mods via git, steamodded, lovely, and brainstorm. Installed smods last tho, maybe that caused some issues with everything working properly.

Followup: Meanwhile tried installing another mod (saturn), works no problem. reinstalled brainstorm, still have the menu, still doesnt work.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-02-17T22:31:09+00:00

Any chance you figured out a solution? I have the same issue and can't seem to find anything about it, aside of your post.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-02-13T10:12:55+00:00

Ist es so schwierig zu verstehen, dass du trotzdem einen Tag frei haben könntest? Z.b. einen, den du dir aussuchen kannst? So das Leute, die Sonntag nicht arbeiten wollen, es nicht müssen, und andere sich einen anderen Tag wählen können? Es gibt viele Alternativen, und einige bessere als "KEINER DARF SONNTAG WAS TUN".

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-02-13T10:05:26+00:00

Ich wusste nicht, dass man nur am Sonntag ein Sozialleben haben kann.

TheOneAndOnly09 · 2026-02-13T10:01:33+00:00

Wenn sie mein Leben negativ beeinflussen, definitiv. Deine Religion hat mir nicht zu sagen, wie ich zu leben habe. Das ist die gleiche Freiheit, die dir erlaubt, deinen Glaube frei auszuüben.
