No. Its a strategy. having it RTD will lead it to a point where anything does matter- you can kill an army of 1928379182379999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 gigantic robots with one smaaaal guy with a rope reed sock.

Fix'd

[Calvin]

Couldn't you do that in Dwarf Fortress too?

[Org]

Yes.

I agree, please keep it non-RTD.

[Helmaroc]

Guys, should I put this in RTD, and make it a RTD styled game?


I actually like it...

Invading a city :
(very bad)1-Horrible Failure, Lose all your soldiers, no damage done to enemy city.
(bad)2-Failure, Lose 50% of your soldiers, no damage done to enemy city.
(neutral)3-Droven Back, Lose [amount depends on enemy defense] of soldiers, and deal light damage to enemy city.
(good)4-Success, Lose a small amount of soldiers, while also dealing moderate damage.
(very good)5-Flawless, Lose no soldiers, while also dealing heavy damage.
(overshoot)6-Double Flawless, Lose no soldiers, but deal no damage.

:v

Nooo! At least don't make it completely run by a RTD system. If there are battles, propaganda attempts, whatever, I guess you could use a die, but if this is just going to be another RTD, I don't want to be part of it.

[Calvin]

Oh fine.

I'll find a way to balance it when it comes to battles and propaganda with dice.

But I know, Weather will use dice :v

1,2 - Sunny
3,4 - Rainy
5,6 - Snowy
7 - Blizzard
8 - Storm
9 - Hurricane

Or maybe.

So is this game going to use graphics similar to those you use in your Dark Dystopia game?

[Calvin]

SIMILAR.

It won't really use full sized characters, due to the issue of TOO MUCH WORK.

[Helmaroc]

See, the thing is, RTD's end up like this: Low quality, outrageous/impossible/unfair playing, little detail, and really, if they're not done right, no fun. I wouldn't mind a dice game, as long as it had detail and wasn't unbalanced.

I'm surprised you made another game at all, DD looks quite insane in its detail and number of players.

Here's to hoping you can keep up with it all!

Currently, the only problem I'm having with this game, is how Emperor Jonathan's buildings are supposed to look like.

"Square, but with non-euclidian geometry"
How am I supposed to do that, exactly?

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Like this



Make sense?

[Calvin]

Oh.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Sometimes Elliptic.

[Calvin]

Well, it's hard to replicate that at what the scale of the buildings in this game willb e.
