Well, can you wrap this game up and start a new one Eagle?

It seems to be suicide to explore or hunt when your cell just starts out, but the only alternative is to photosynth...and die of mutations. Which I guess IS realistic, for germs...

Maybe you could tone down the insta death? I say, keep the RNG, just make it less...harsh. I would of rather we would have had even half the players who died survive with low health, something close to that.

[Eagle_eye]

alright sure. Actually, everyone lasted through their first hunt and got far more food than they spent. It's when they started getting greedy that the deaths happened

[lemon10]

no, photosynthesis costs no energy. Also, you're veeerrrry lucky you changed. You kinda.... died in the old order.

so i died in BOTH orders?
yeah, having instadeath this bad is a bit of a problem, mabey make larger cells do damage (mabey lots of damage), just try to avoid insta kill (at least when its impossible to predict)

I only hunted once, and it killed me.

Oh well, RAM requests a new cell!

Move, Move, Photo, Breed.

actually, its just that combat continues until one is dead.

[lemon10]

um... then add the ability to run away (eg. we take 50% damage and automatically (try to) scram if we are fighting a significantly strong enemy)
also RAM, i think that you need to wait till the game ends, there are still two people left (who given how the game is going, 1 or both will die next turn)

Why not have a trait that determines "bravery"-a higher or lower chance to flee from battles when damaged? More "cowardly" cells would live longer, but cells that fight and win get stronger?

[Eagle_eye]

that's a good idea...

I never hunted, I just moved photo'd and bred. Apparently movement is totally fatal.

[Eagle_eye]

okay, fan took 17 damage from a virus swarm and died. restart

[Dwarmin]

Well, I'll join the next one, help you work out the "bugs" <---lulz
Right now im going to sleep!

[Megaman]

We restarted? Fine, Move, hunt, breed.

[Fanofgaming]

I WANT IN ON THE RESTART.
Move, photosynthesis x 4, breed.

[Lillipad]

I will continue to join this game until over 50% of the initial species survive round 1.

[lemon10]

hm... since it seems we restarted ill photo, photo, photo, photo, breed
