Another week of this then new accelerated round?

Jules

This is fun but after another week or less I think it'll have ran it's course. Surely we can simulate BR's in a more controlled dev environment to the same effect lol.

How does everyone feel about restarting with 30 min ticks and having a like 1 month round or something? My mind has been on other balance for awhile now, ie races/buildings/magic, stuff that matters when your sugar daddy isn't here. If only I could convince everyone to go random races in random provs though. How fun would that be?

Jules yes random random, and no outside help. If your found colluding get deleted

Let’s first let this round run till we can try all techs for bugs. Starting over and IP and all will take us ages to reach the same point again.

Just my two cents.

PS your win on this round doesn’t count, Jules 😜

Yeh that's why I said a week, just for tech interaction. I think there'd be more value after just restarting.

saadht

I don’t think we can test all techs within a week.

Xliest

saadht umm ya we can…

Are you kidding SW tech takes 17 hours dude 1 week is 160 hours, some techs don’t require testing either the blades techs, armours, they work we can tell after you get SB1. The econ techs like conversion improved law etc are really easy to test. Improved law is your crime rate 25? Yes. It’s working. There are some things that are a big more nuanced tactical knowledge sure but that takes 25 hours 1day out of 7…

a week maybe a week and a half is ample time the accEllerated round will be a bug catching test as well. It would even be possible to decrease tech times though less severely in the accelerated version. Would allow people who started late this round a chance to fight and not just get cherry picked. Quick rounds are good for testing.

-1 to random race, cuz people like what they like, but +1 on random province - new kingdom gets packed into the next prov filling them up to the limit as they go, would be cool for diversifying and preventing buildup of powerhouses. I think picking a prov didn't become a thing until the 4th or 5th rounds - wasn't always a thing and was fun to get dumped with new randoms.

The issue with this is people are still gonna ally up outside of their province now not only do I have somebody that’s not gonna help me. They’re also gonna spy for their buddies. If I had five people I could trust. I don’t have to worry about that. It could just be us five verse the world.

Lord Thane What about Lithar provinces have to have 1 of each race, you can still select your race but you get put in the 1st province available that has the slot open?

+1 It is better to let everyone choose which province.. also an option to transfer and kick out a member from the province by voting.

Blahblah

AdinTheDark five? I don't even have three.lol

AdinTheDark

Blahblah

Get gud

Mmm yes let's do it, for science. Still think it'd make Tuth OP though.

Jules

What if there was some kind of incentive for social balance?

Would it matter if the #1 prov at the end of the round, each player from that prov received say a 2% production bonus for the next round as a reward for winning. Would it enable more competition? Or would it enable more competition for the last week of the round only lol

Having a reward system of being a top province would be perfect. However this is only great if you have active members in the province and willing to help each other. As you can see, you can only do great and proactive if you have players that you know the best.
