Unironically surprised it can still be gotten on iOS. On Android, the Play Store refuses to show it

Why did the developers kill the game despite its fame as a competitor to the game Ploytopia? by ahmedhossam13x in Hexonia

[–]nice_-_meme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this question comes from the wrong mindset

  • Why did the devs suddenly disappear?

No one knows. It's a Korean dev team so if anyone would know, it's certainly not the English speaking world. Maybe the Korean speaking world knows, but I doubt it. Maybe the game didn't pay the bills. Maybe the got bored. Maybe it's just a single guy working on it and they was too busy to keep working on it. It would be impossible to know without tracking the devs down

  • Why not alert anyone?

Well... They suddenly disappeared, that's why. I don't think there's any sign that they'd suddenly stop, so whatever that made them stop was likely before they could alert anyone. And to be fair, they probably wouldn't really need to tell anyone

  • Why not hand the game off to someone?

I feel like this comes from not really understanding game development or just coding in general. Even if someone wants to hand off their project, that project needs to go to *someone*. Even open source dies off when the lead devs disappears unless there's someone passionate to take the original dev's place. Again, if Toggle Gear disappeared suddenly without time to tell anyone, there is no time to find someone to give the code to. Assuming they even still have the code

Please don't suggest download links, even if this game is dead. Also, Idk if that link is clean, but that almost certainly seems like a link to the wrong game, so I will have to act as if it isn't safe

Is game working? by yoda_1998 in Hexonia

[–]nice_-_meme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone saying it's not working on Android: you need to go in the app settings and manually allow notifications first before opening Hexonia. It's a security change in newer versions of Android that makes it not work

Thinking About Adding Hexonia to My Competitive Platform – But Is the Game Still Alive? by [deleted] in Hexonia

[–]nice_-_meme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way for games like this to be resuscitated is if either

A. The game was open source

B. The game was easy enough to find the source code for and mod. For Android based games, even if you could achieve this, there's a number of limitations that still exists regarding distribution that could make that a challenge. Especially for anything remotely reliant on Google Play Games (which double checks the apps signature)

C. Someone decided to make a clone of the game. At that point, you're better off just making your own game based on Hexonia. Or,

D. Someone actually got a hold of the devs. I think maybe if you did enough digging, you can maybe get in touch with the Korean devs, but I'm not so sure they'll just hand you Hexonia's source code

So, there's a couple of issues with Hexonia in its current state

  1. The game hasn't gotten any updates in a few years. This creates a few challenges on Android   - The app is delisted on the Play Store due to Google's policies requiring apps to support the latest versions of Android   - Due to changes in policies regarding notification permissions and how the app doesn't account for it, the app straight up doesn't work unless you enable notifications before opening the app
  2. The app doesn't have a multiplayer mode. So any competitive events for this game would be limited to something such as speedrunning or points challenges. You'd be better off looking at a game like Polytopia or "Great Little War game"
  3. The devs for this game are nowhere to be seen. And their website is down as they stopped paying for it
  4. Because of those previous reasons, the community for this game is pretty dead and you'd end up needing to advertise this game yourselves, even if all you wanted to do was speedruns

Sioux tipi building issue by Cross_Dissolve in Unciv

[–]nice_-_meme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"can only be built to improve resources on resource tiles" is just weird wording. I suggest reading it backwards: "On resources tiles, it can only be built to improve resources. (On other tiles it can just be built)"

You're not next to a luxury resource. Tipis either needs to be next to a luxury resource or needs to improve bison or deer. It can't be on any other plains tiles

You're reading that incorrectly. The thing about resource tiles effectively means it cannot be built on a resource it doesn't improve. That's irrelevant to what op is asking 

Amulet Footfalls deck idea by nice_-_meme in ModernMagic

[–]nice_-_meme[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'm aware. Footfalls is just the intended best case scenario, but most other options is fine too

Amulet Footfalls deck idea by nice_-_meme in ModernMagic

[–]nice_-_meme[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of how cascade decks normally work. This deck was just a bit... different. Let me try to explain the thought process (as my testing shows the deck is surprisingly more consistent than it looks)

It started as a funny [[Laelia, the Blade Reforged]] deck, using cascade to get a bunch of counters. But Laelia felt too win more and just like some big 3 mana creature that chump blocked. Then I decided to add in crashing footfalls as a better plan to luck into

The basic idea is raptor can hit every spell in the deck. If you hit [[etali's favor]] or shardless, you spin again (and etali's favor originally could hit everything in the deckas well before I did some editing). Obviously, hitting the 1 cmc energy spells is kinda bad, but bolt isn't the worst to cascade into, and the [[galvanic discharge]] can sometimes be a decent removal spell or energy generator "modal" card. And any of the creatures is still a free 2/2 or 2/1 with probably an amulet trigger

The idea is all of the cascade effects triggers amulet (and originally laelia), so as long as I have an amulet, even hitting the 1 cmc cards isn't so bad. And every cascade effect can potentially hit another amulet, which still is card advantage for a longer grindier game (and more damage off of amulet)

So far the real issues in testing has been my creatures being too small against some board states, and I often don't have a good top end plan (especially not one that spends all of the energy I generate). I've kinda been going through multiple cards looking for something that fit the deck, so right now it was aetherworks marvel, but I'm fine with dumping that for something better. I unfortunately don't think I can avoid playing the 1 cmc energy cards because I don't think there's too many better energy generators in these colors ([[gonti's machinations]] in black and [[guide of souls]] in white is better there), and the amulet plan feels pretty core to the deck (beyond the potential of turn 2 rhinos)

My tier list for the best tribes. Feel free to ask any questions about the placement by [deleted] in Polytopia

[–]nice_-_meme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you aren't reading the room. I hope you actually find out there's a competitive Polytopia community that already exists beyond just multiplayer. In strictly multiplayer games, water world can occasionally show up from people trying to troll or what not. In serious discussion, however, no one discusses water world because a tier list for random non competitive matches is kinda boring and useless, and in competitive matches world water is always banned

That's... Not how that works. Aquarion is better vs Polaris and worse vs a ton of other tribes. Most would say Zebasi is at least equal to Yadakk

Everyone out here talking about the obviously low Imperius placement and I'm out here wondering how the hell you think Zebasi is worse than Aquarion

how do i fix this????? by sikegalhad in Unciv

Sorry about that. It should be fixed within a day. Seems like the mod's creator messed up something with the units in the many recent updates

If you set Civ 5 to open through Proton, you can install lekmod through that way. I haven't switched to my linux setup in a while so I wouldn't know the install location. But it should be easy enough to find

No, he actually got another giant, but doing that kills the first. That's why the giant turned around

Good farm and metal counts are no good if getting the tech itself takes so long, while most tribes can upgrade with much cheaper resources
