Just one relatively simple question I want an answer for
« on: November 08, 2012, 02:19:57 pm »

Will we be able to ACTUALLY slaughter civs in the next release?

Because right now it's kinda defeating the purpose, since everyone "respawns" after a while, from what I heard at least...

As far as I can tell, villagers don't "respawn". Just for funsies, I saw how many people I could kill with my bare hands right after spawning (surprisingly, quite a few). After that adventurer died and I made a new one, all the villagers remained dead and their houses empty. And I believe an entire season passes from adventurer to adventurer, so if they respawn they would have by then.

They don't seem to actually respawn, but soldiers get replaced very quickly, probably from the civilian population.

Look elsewhere, reader. There is nothing for you here.

They draft new soldiers every other week so that on the off chance that an adventurer comes by there will be a large army of people openly willing to defect to his cause.

Bureaucracy.

I, and many others on this forum, have actually managed to completely depopulate Pocket worlds.

Believe me, you can slaughter civs alright.

Simple. No one's alive anymore.
Though, on a non-obvious answer, I believe you can check the number of 'living' historical figures in legends mode.

Does it still say age of X when everyone is dead like it did on one of the older versions?

so the goal is to hunt down known historical figures with out talking to nonhistorical figures so that you don't add to your work load.

I remember making a Troll adventurer and killing random human's for no real reasons with a runic dagger just blasting their teeth off.
When I came back I saw the same people I killed with my troll in my kills list (z and then k I think?) and they sat right next to their corpses I had left.
I think there might be a bug where leaving the zone just respawns them istead of you know,sending them to the underworld.

In which version was this done? v0.34.11 is suffering from bug 0005106 where villagers respawn or are replaced after you fast travel or sleep. Easily demonstrated by recruiting a soldier in a tower, sleeping right there and finding a clone of the soldier just standing there whilst the original soldier follows you around as a normal companion would. The clone also acts as a seperate entity and can be recruited, killed, etc without affecting the original.

So OP is right, genocide is impossible in the current version.

What is your world's Population Cap set to?

Because No Cap afaik leads to very large civilizations, and only some are placed at any one time on the map.

Just curious because I have heard of other people culling entire regions.

Thanks,
