what le fuck? Steppe bros we are so back.

I like this game but the world gen leaves a lot to be desired.

>>2281911
I think it's okay, and I especially like that you can change the map however you want. I do miss your city having a countryside attached to it like all the others though.

>>2281920
It's kind of bad due to the mountains taking everything up leaving not a lot of room. and rivers often going nowhere instead of a body of water. the map is fine though and that's really all that matters. I'd argue the (natural) world gen is the weakest part of the game.

for some reason i thought the update after .69 was going to be the last. swear i read it somewhere.

anyways its good to see the lab resource change, needing literally thousands of slaves for the clay pits was retarded

>>2282237

>>2282285
Suck pp at the "massage parlour."

Haven't played in a while, but it feelt like this game lacked a flavor and a replay value. I blame that custom building designing. Felt like a cool gimmick initially, but ultimately I just started making copies of what felt like the most optimal building. Each race having unique premade buildings would be a better idea imo.

Just started playing today, I don't get why food production can outstrip consumption but I still am running out of some stocks, nevermind the AI not storing shit away appropriately.

>>2282797
Food rots. Especially true for meat, and fish to a lesser extent

>>2282797
All resources have a spoilage rate, you are not meant to keep huge stockpiles of stuff in general, but food in particular spoils very quickly. Grain keeps okay as a buffer but once you bake it into bread it spoils quickly, as do all other foodstuffs that can be eaten directly. If you want a bigger stock for safety and to get that "food days" modifier you have to turn surpluses into rations that keep better.

>>2282797
>I don't get why food production can outstrip consumption
what did he mean by this

>the AI not storing shit away appropriately
you need to assign warehouse space for each individual resource

Does the dev still make research more tedious with every patch? do I still need to have half my cities population dedicated to researching shit?
Does stone and gems still spoil?
Does the AI have cities yet or are all battles still open fields and your city is the only one you can fight at?

>>2283137
>Does the dev still make research more tedious with every patch?
no, its better now in .70
>Does stone and gems still spoil?
stone and gems spoil at such small %'s you couldnt hardly notice it happening (also just put it in a warehouse dummy)
>Does the AI have cities yet or are all battles still open fields and your city is the only one you can fight at?
ai does not have cities

I'm fine with them breaking their backs in the mines and cleaning our toilets

>>2282797
No point in producing more food that you will consume or sell unless you plan to store grain/make rations for long-term storage. It's workload you could've used in other way, so concern with producing enough food to meet demand plus a little more in case of unplanned scarcity, and send the rest of the workers to do other stuff.

I'm playing through the tutorial while the game is free.
Couple questions about later:
- How wide do you guys make your paths usually?
- Is this one of those games where a diverse population is a detriment? Should I basically stick to a single race?

>>2283968
I make most roads 2-3 tiles wide with a tile of grass on either end but that's mostly for aesthetics.

>diversity
As long as they're segregated it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Admittedly the only game I ever played with more than one race where the other race weren't slaves was underground Dondorians with Cretonian farmers outside, and those two races get along pretty well anyway.

>>2283968
3-5 wide, sometimes more for the main paths, mostly so I can add torches benches and other decorations wherever without thinking about it
Sometimes I read about people having their city destroyed by race riots, but I never had that problem, everyone is in their dedicated neighbourhood with their favorite stuff. I basically always invite cretonians for farming, and usually 1 or 2 other race too

>>2283986

Thanks senpaitachi.
Dunno if I'll purchase it yet, but it's looking pretty good. I'll admit it's hard for me to play any game like this because my brain always just mumbles "Erm bruh just go play Rimworld some more lmao???", but this is a kind of nice intersection between a colony manager and a more impersonal city building game. I like.

>>2283968
>- Is this one of those games where a diverse population is a detriment? Should I basically stick to a single race?
if you open immigration to all species without dedicated ghettos you will almost certainly see the minorities being murdered off before leaving

>>2283968
Diversity is your strength in this game. Monorace cities are a detriment.
I usually just bring in other races as slaves though rather than worrying too much about keeping them happy. My main race gets treated like a regular city builder, my other slave races have small ghettos I just build and ignore

multiculturalism is, just like in the real world, the best way to rule your city, all the negative thoughts from racism and hatecrimes absolutely pale in comparison to having 6 times the avalable migrants and population on top of buffing up essentialy every single industry by 20% to 50% thoughput

>>2281774
Isn't the demo the latest version anyway?

I'm in the tutorial right now. Why do sometimes resources just appear in the throne room even when my guide doesn't metion gifting them to me? Do I always have an unlimited throne room supply of wood/stone in the tutorial or just for given mission buildings? Also, I'm having a blast reading character's flavour texts and info. Does the game offer some deep lore and world building info later on?

You don't deserve a video game industry

god i wish there was boats in this game

>still no world conquest speedruns

Finished the second tutorial. Tryna decide what race to start with for my actual first real game. Maybe continue as piggers, but I'm eyeballing the lizard people because I love fish AND lizard races, and the elves because elven city building sounds cool too.

>>2285454
I'll recommend my favorite, the amevias and settle on coastal+warm area, it's easy to get tons of food and they don't need many services to stay happy compared to other races

the important question is, is the game still a inflation/maintenance grinding simulator or did the dev finally saw reason and eased up into the ridiculous costs

are humans still OP because u need 60% of the population in labs?

is midgame still heavy dwarfs centric because making metals and weapons is the only viable trade profit
do you still lose 80% of your production to inflation and spoilage as a boring rubberband

>>2285454
lizard people are my favorite, i love watching them run around with their big tails flailing behind them

>>2285559
No
No
Yes

>>2285503
i dont think maintenance is really a problem unless you didnt scale any industry with your population

>>2285598
I always have trouble scaling up as lizards cause I don't get good water maps. Is coast better for that, cause I tend to try for rivers. Or maybe I should try and get both?

>>2285622
Coastal fish tiles are twice as good as river fish iirc

>>2285640
Well then I should try that then, thank you. Will fix having to scale up fishing at the cost of everything else, at least for a time.

>Defending vidya industry in 2003+23
I mean I don't blame you - chances are, you were already born into the shitfest and take the bottom of the septic tank as the natural state of affairs.
Meanwhile, for the past 15 years I observe how this industry is too big to fall, because a company can release nothing but low-selling drivel... and still maintain solvency. Squenix is the peak example of this without a genre, nu-PDX is the best example of this in /vst/ context.
I kinda wish we finally get that long-heralded crisis, because it's getting unbearable. We were THIS close in 2022 for things to finally crash... and unfortunately things rebound

>>2285612

The proportion between maintenance and building has been ridiculous for several patches, specially science, but everything else between spoilage and maintenance it becomes silly, a rock building/road doesn't need several times what it took to build it every couple of years of maintenance

I accepted a cretonian immigrant and they have an insane age too. the thing is the population tab seems to show a normal age range and average, it's just the individuals' ages seem to be displaying wrong.

Did they fix research? Last i played in september i had like 500 pop, 150 was researchers and 150 was clay mining. That was ridiculous.

>>2286718
There's no reason to do research with such a low population though
You don't need ressources to do research now apparently, haven't tried the new version yet

>>2286732
>You don't need ressources to do research now apparently
Manpower is a resource.
Also i really wanted to do research because all the cool stuff was locked behind it like pools, tool usage for buildings and etc. I guess i like going tall than wide.

>>2286734
Yes, you need less manpower because you don't need clay/leather
Going tall means more population and you're better off having your 150 researchers making more food to attract more migrants, in the last patch I didn't feel the need to start researching to unlock more services until 1500/2000 citizens

>>2281725
did it fix the numbers so I can actually play the game?
does trade still magically teleport?

>>2286880
Getting migrants is way slower without the extra services though.

>>2286936
not sure what you mean by trade teleporting unless you're talking about just the money. both manual and automatic trade caused caravans to appear last time i played

>>2287004
As I said, I had no problems reaching 1.5/2k with no labs, that was with amevias though maybe the other races need more services idk

so I want to set up a stone mining operation in the north but my city is in the south, whats the best way to do it with citizens? the commute is too long so I was going to make a mini city with homes and services up at the stone quarry, but how do I effectively transfer stone to the city and food to the quarry? I don't have enough money to afford slaves yet

>>2281725
Any advice for starting out? I'd like to make a village starting with humans and dwarfs if possible

The easy solution: slap down an import depot in your main settlement and buy rocks
The hard solution: use dozens of haulers to keep your outpost supplied and bring back the stone

I played the tutorials and started a lizardfish colony. Got about 75 people before I had to head to work and the free week ended.
Had my fun although it got into a rhythm where all I was doing was building houses, expanding my fisheries, and clicking the immigration button. Didn't experience any tech advancement or combat or any of that.
I'm torn on buying desu. Fuck.
>>2287265
I've been wondering similar with some stuff on my end. I have a clay deposit pretty far from my village, so I was unsure if it would be wise to create some housing and a small warehouse there.

if you use bug slave labor you can just use a transport to deliver them anything, it doesnt realy matter what but meat gives them a slight obedience boost but that is not realy important

if you use actual citizens, then well, at that point it might be better off building up an entire new food industry from scratch to supply that place, you have a river right next to it, just build enough farms and bakeries to meet demand

concentrate only on food and necessities in the beginning
only build labs when you can actualy supply them with clay
research lab and libary upgrades ASAP and only diviate when happyness or health become a problem, then you research theaters, arenas, hospitals and medicine
dont forget to assign/unassign furniture items and food types your races have access to
increasing daily rations increases health

and the most important tip
build the training hall the moment it unlocks and recruit everyone in the millitia, if a raider comes knocking, whipe the floor with them and get like half a million bounty for 10 guys in rags
and always keep the millitia strong in case more raiders show up

If democracy is a thing does that mean I can be deposed?

I started making tiny villages near my resources, which lead to adding warehouses, which lead to adding crafters, all of which lead to adding wells, hearths and food stalls.
Which is now making me realize that my main actual village area where the throne is serves no purpose besides the main warehouse for exports.
I don't know if this was even the smart thing to do, but now it's just a disjointed pile of little areas connected to one dumb area that has some pointless housing, a big training hall and a janitor.

Uh, what
Maybe hammers are better? That was with sword, shield and steel armor

>>2289328
there are barley casualities in battles now and morale is now paramount meaning that flanking and timed charges are supreme now instead of numbers alone

I did some testing in quick battle and found out that hammers are basicaly the best weapon all arround because of its force multiplier and the fact that it does more pierce damage than even steel armor can negate

Flaxi sound strong on paper and give the biggest boost in force projection(used in autoresolve) but the moment the enemy equips any kind of armor all the slash damage gets negated and you are left with only the charge bonus

swords plainly suck, even combined with shilds, the weakness of shields is they only increase block which only applies when the enemy actualy misses its attack against your defence so its effect is quite minimal

bows where nerfed to shit

>>2289423
cont.

mounts are intersting, they boost attack and charge but greatly deminish defences, they do realy exel with hamer and amboss tactics, where you rear charge enemies while they are busy fighting other units. charges are devistating and kill a lot of people and causes tons of morale damage, i managed to destroy an army almost twice the size of mine with that tactic, this might become the new meta since archer cheese is dead now

also i forgot spears, they only realy provide you with a defence bonus for staying on formation which is funnily enough more useful than the shield

>>2289453
Are battles fun now?

>>2289453
Been doing some testing as well
Fun stuff, you can actually make horse archers, launch a volley, then charge, fall back and repeat
Looks like flanking is basically the only way to make any progress

>>2289487
its surprisingly balanced, there is no great cheese or exploit that I've found beside some balance issues, pic related is me circle charging with a cav unit to break an enemy with supperior numbers and weapons, its not an automatic "I win button" since cav is very vurnable while charging and often broke after being stuck between soldiers but that makes it engaging enough to actualy fight the battles properly and not just throw everyone at the enemy, especialy now since units being in intact formations matters a lot now

>>2289530
flanking is now very important, not only you do huge moral damage, attacking someone from the flank also bysteps defence calculations compleatly, Its actualy a bit too powerful now at least how I understand it

and while horse archers are kinda cool you could already do that back then on foot, I don't realy see that much improvement desu

I am happy to announce that archer cheese is still possible

not only that, its is actualy way better now than it used too because archers can now pick up spears as a side arm, turning them into an impregnable wall when the hit and run phase ends

the decreased ammo might look like a heavy nerf but since units are now way more impacted by losses, their actual usefulness has only slightly decreased

The first raid is taking fucking forever to kill now with just a barely trained squad... And they spawned a catapult in my city somehow

So whats the best food source? I made some pig farms but they ain’t doing shit. Should I just do fruit farms for the elves? Also its worth it to build a woodcutter even if I have a shitton of wood?

>>2289639
hunters in early game, they are limited to 15 employees before they start deminishing their returns, then you should do pig and cow pastures

elfs like orchards more, they take 3 years to set up but have like 3 times the yeld of normal fruit farms especialy with elfs managing them

>>2289639
fisheries are insane if you have ocean tiles

>realize I should have built my main road vertical instead of horizontal
>would have to destroy and rebuild the homes and industries of about half my population of 800 to fix it
>not even sure if the optimization will be noticeable compared to now

Are there going to be more threads of this game. I just discovered and its a lot of fun. Want to keep talking about it :)

Are any of the resource multipliers worth researching early on? Is it better to research raw resource output or refined?

Someone explain how tf the tech tree in this game works. Whats the difference between innovation and knowledge? What does it mean covering cost of tech? What should I even focus on?

>>2289962
It's just two different resources for unlocking different techs
>covering cost of tech?
Not sure, it's probably referring to the amount of lab workers you need to maintain a tech
>What to focus
First, whatever you decide to mass produce for exports, probably something that your race is already good at so you can stack bonus
Second, unlock new services when your happiness isn't at 100%
Everything else is situational, except for some basic stuff like guards, roads, and hospitals so your city doesn't die

>>2289896
No this was the last one

Weird how this game hasn't been solved like Factorio yet.

>>2290317
Some autists had hyperoptimized grid cities with tens of thousands of pops. Way beyond what a normal run can achieve, but the game balance changes too much between versions for there to be stable meta strats working at that high level.

>>2290323
>Some autists had hyperoptimized grid cities with tens of thousands of pops.
Got any vids or images?

>>2289914
Farming and woodcutting seem like the best early researches. They have no cost besides labor and you have dozens if not hundreds employed in it so you get lots of value out of a few levels to power the furniture and food economy

>>2290488
>woodcutting
My warehouse is constantly overflowing with wood just from expanding my city, and if I ever run out of wood, I just clear cut the nearest forest patch
Imo best early research is your preferred food of choice, roads, and some industry/cash crop relevant to your race
Also soldier training speed might be necessary if you don't want to pay off the first raiders, I took 2 levels and my squad of 50 was ready only a couple days before they attacked me

i think people who struggle hard with the mid game are just not trading or using slaves

>>2290570
admittedly both are systems i haven't explored yet because i'm still trying to figure out research and mining

Someone spoonfeed me on how I should play liggers
Coastal town with canals running through the middle of every road? Mass exporting fish before it spoils?

>>2290607
yeah, thats pretty much it
also Globdien to corner the egg market, you are the only race that can produce them reliably

>>2290623
Based, I've played them a little before but I struggled to transition into a proper 'city' at around 1k+ pops because of all the planning for water and the face that canals need pumps etc.
Sounds like there was a change to water access recently so might go better this time around

I know the races are very racist in this game but, how hard is it to put them all in one city? Just slap ghettos around the map and everything is good?

>>2290574
Research is a noob trap (and old player trap too)
It's more of a late game thing, you don't need labs for a long time in the latest versions

>>2290638
Just a bit of murdering here and there but you should be fine if they are mostly separated

You do not need labs early game, roads are worth 5 fucking points

So spearmanni rectangles to hold the center and cav for rear flanking once the lines meet?
Genuinely so happy the dev decided to add a bit more to battles

>>2289962
>What does it mean covering cost of tech?
the tooltips are basically saying if you buy this tech, your production will increase as if you had employed x extra workers in that industry. so if maintaining that tech costs you more than x lab workers, you're actually hurting yourself by buying it.

My only gripe is that with a population max of 12k in your city I don't really understand how we'll ever see truly grand battles with battle lines spanning the entire screen.
I guess there's mercs?

Many years ago the dev said that when he stops breaking saves with every patch, he wants players to upload their cities. Then whenever you attack an AI city the battle map will be one of those player made cities.

Dont know if that is still the plan or not but I hope so.

That sounds amazing if you can pick and choose the cities to filter out the sovlless ones. Not sure how it would work with the map though, and town generation I don't think could ever be good or look nice but it is a possibility too.

So the pastures of Balticrawlers require no maintenance, meaning i can just build a giant square as big as i can without inner walls?

Are you excited for the soft-confirmed necromancer playthrough with skeleton undead cities?

Sounds like a dlc considering how different it would be to normal gameplay.
>no food if skelletons, maybe meat consumption if zombies
>need to raise more dead to expand population, which could anger other factions
>necessitation of early war to acquire new corpses?
>introduction of a magic system?
>how do the various faiths react to necromancy?
>new magical race?
>other supernatural qualities such as vampires or transforming beasts?
>diplomatic implications

Yeah from the recent interview he did I think it would be a DLC as he was talking about DLC surrounding that topic.
Apparently a necromancer trying to destroy the world is part of his canon so he doesn't consider the game complete unless it has a necromancer playthrough in it.

I wish wooden walls weren't so fuckin' ugly.
Hard to enjoy Tilapi and Cretonian when I gotta look at that SHIT.

There's conscripts from provinces but you still need to supply them iirc
Hopefully the empire side of things will get more developed so you can get more than raw ressources from your provinces

>Start Tilapi game
>Decide at start to do humans too because why not
>turns out Tilapi are the only people humans really hate
>Tilapi not fond of humans either, though they like Cretonians
well fug, but I'll be damned if I ever allow P*ggers in my city.

It would be very cool to have some recruitment provinces that you feed a little bit so they can produce good quality soldiers en masse

>>2291013
just keep them appart and you gonna be fine

Multi city

Whats the best way to start getting resources that are far away from the main city? Do I just start building a new city near those resources with whatever building actually needs them?

>>2291101
That's what I do, I don't know if it's the BEST way to do it (Taxation/Import probably wins out) but I like to create a little mining village and then supply them with amenities and services. You can use transports to haul it back to the main depot if it's a lot of stuff but I think haulers work just as well too.

The neat part of doing this is over time all these little villages start to expand and grow and your city sort of forms organically over the years

>>2290881
yes, unless something changed this patch. i didn't even realize you could build walls on pastures and always wondered why they cost so much to build until recently
