[rich garden]

Oh one of my worlds I had to nerf crabs and scorpions because their population was growing too quickly

[waxen hull]

Yeah cause they run out of space

[hybrid mist]

crabs are always the worse prospecting kingdoms for me ngl

[rich garden]

Legitimately, how

[hybrid mist]

scorpions do mildly ok but nothing crazy

[rich garden]

Mine had a base offspring of 50

[waxen hull]

Mah

[hybrid mist]

might be bc they need algae?

[waxen hull]

They plagues

[obsidian phoenix]

My inbred mountain alpacas had a population boom when their single family with 40 units split into 40 families

[waxen hull]

HOW lol, those mfs allways take over the world for me

[hybrid mist]

algae

thats my theory ig

[waxen hull]

Are you sure we are playing the same game?

What do you mean no rebelions

[hybrid mist]

actually wait

ribbits might be worse than crabs

[obsidian phoenix]

Bro my kingdom literally split into 10

[hybrid mist]

i think its mostly the food yeah

[waxen hull]

I see them every 5 minutes....

[rich garden]

Do you have handsome immigrants on?

[waxen hull]

What, rabbits do just fine for me

[hybrid mist]

rebelions are ass

[hybrid mist]

ribbits, the frogs

[waxen hull]

Aaaaaa

[hybrid mist]

not rabbits

[waxen hull]

But they also work

[obsidian phoenix]

I had to cap their population lol

[rich garden]

Ok it's literally a skill issue

[clever lintel]

And also how do I keep animals in the same kingdom from eating each other.

[hybrid mist]

wtf is handsome immigrants

[waxen hull]

Yeah

[hybrid mist]

disable cannibalism

in their subspecies

[clever lintel]

There is no cannibalism.

[hybrid mist]

uhhhh skill issue

[waxen hull]

A single city doesnt or a kingdom?

[obsidian phoenix]

Could it be a tech or resource issue

[clever lintel]

Oh piss off

Oh there was cannibalism.

[rich garden]

Then the skill issue is your lack of being able to actually identify a problem

[clever lintel]

Oops.

[obsidian phoenix]

Most my civs don’t have access to stone, but the dwarves produce it and are growing faster than he others

[clever lintel]

Never mind i am an idiot.

[pale copper]

Any news on reddit or anything?

[hybrid mist]

see?

[clever lintel]

Ah that didn't even matter because they were in fact not in the same kingdom.

Dammit.

[hybrid mist]

did stone become rarer or smth

[obsidian phoenix]

No my guys are just too stupid to build mines

[hybrid mist]

yeah mines

[rich garden]

They need stone for that

[obsidian phoenix]

Welp

I’ll modify my rabbits to produce stone

[rich garden]

Or just place a bit down

[obsidian phoenix]

Cba

The rabbits will do it for me

[rich garden]

That wasn't even a beta thing btw

They've always needed stone to build mines

[hybrid mist]

weird

they never needed stone before in my kingdoms

i actually never care abt resources bc they always find a way

[clever lintel]

I just rage nuked my world... Bwegh...

[obsidian phoenix]

Are you sure because I never place stone or have it able to spawn but they always made mines

[rich garden]

Yes, I disabled minerals on a world some time ago, and nobody build stone stuff until I provided it

[obsidian phoenix]

It used to be they had the tech for stone stuff but not mines

[wispy ocean]

i'm just here to get an acheivement 👍

[rich garden]

I think civs prioritize weapons and armor more than buildings now

[hybrid mist]

"Hey should we build a house for this homeless family"
"No, make more of this sword"

[rich garden]

Literally

Which... fair, considering how dangerous wildlife can be

[stable belfry]

the wolves early game omg

they killed my lulliars

[hybrid mist]

Does wildlife even spawn in city

[rich garden]

They don't need to in order to be a threat

[hybrid mist]

for colonists ig

[wispy ocean]

.

[icy beacon]

HOLA/HELLO

[hybrid mist]

[marble fractal]

Why would you say that

Messed up dude

[hybrid mist]

Listen here cro

i can say what i want

i am THE grasshopper role

so you lowrank immortal better shut yo mouth

[remote pawn]

Is mobile update out?

[marble fractal]

No

[jolly remnant]

Is it out yet

[keen tulip]

no

check pins

[jolly remnant]

😞

Is it out yet

[marble fractal]

No

We don't know when it will be out

[waxen hull]

The newly arived colonist when they see 300 rabid wolfs come down from the birch forest

[errant nest]

I thought it was supposed to be out February 4th 2050

Thought I heard something about that

😂

[errant nest]

Facts

I've put down so many people expecting a village before realizing they all died to wild life

[hybrid mist]

RPA is so biased

[rich garden]

Rpa?

[quasi kayak]

Where is the update

I've waited for decades

[marble fractal]

We do not know when it will release.

It is likely we will get news about it soon

[quasi kayak]

Hope so

[gilded stump]

How do you spawn creatures as certain suspecies?

[rich garden]

What exactly do you mean?

[gilded stump]

Whenever I spawn a unit, they spawn as a certain subspecies and I can't change it

[marble fractal]

You need to spawn them a certain distance from other members for one

If the little gene link is there it will be that subspecies

[rich garden]

Move the mouse away from existing subspecies and they'll become a new one

[gilded stump]

I've tried that

[gilded stump]

I want them to be an existing subspecies

[rich garden]

Then spawn them by an existing subspecies

[marble fractal]

Then find that one on the map and make sure the gene links

[gilded stump]

mhm

Ok, it's just that they're too close to other subspecies

[marble fractal]

I don't really understand what the issue is then

[gilded stump]

just needed help

[marble fractal]

Maybe make an island to transport specimens to when you do this

[gilded stump]

Thanks, it worked

[last flare]

[rich garden]

[gilded stump]

Also, can you make someone join a kingdom?

other than just putting them there

Hi
-# This user is under the supervision of the FBI • Learn More

[small canyon]

What is your oldest Living npc in years

Mine is 47 thousand years old

I am afraid that he will reach 100k Till mobile Update 🥀

[torpid turtle]

...yo

[runic cairn]

What

Are they actually

[split owl]

in the new beta, anyone have any idea how to keep animal populations from growing so out of control? I want my peoples to have food sources but jeez goats especially but a lot of different animal mobs reproduce like crazy

[ruby brook]

custom the subspecies to either reduce their fertility. Or the amount of time for gestation

[split owl]

fair enough that makes sense

[ruby brook]

usually it's quite better to place your kingdoms and then let the animals do whatever they want. As soon they are enough kingdoms will manage animals

[split owl]

well my world is giamungus

lol

so thats not as effective as probably like a iceberg sized map

[ruby brook]

well cleansing the area where you want them to start their kingdom usually work

[split owl]

ill just leave off animal spawn and when i want new species around ill customize their fertility genes

[ruby brook]

let them make their first town with less prb from the animals then they will manage the animals to expend

[split owl]

well i had no issues with kingdoms growing it was just the lag caused by sooooo many random mobs

[ruby brook]

OH

then there are an easier thing

[split owl]

true but they come back if theyre not modified

[ruby brook]

in the subspecies tab you can limit the max amount of animals a species can reach

[split owl]

like bunnies lol they repop like wild

oh shit really?

oohhhhhh yea!

i remember that now

youre a genius

[rich garden]

Most of them actually have a limit by default

[split owl]

hop in the chat if you wanna see my custom map

im starting over a new era from scratch

[rich garden]

For some reason though, the ones that need a limit the most do not have one

[split owl]

with one kingdom as the starting population

let them fracture as they grow

chat as in VC

and maybe they only need a limit specifically because they do not have one

survivorship bias lol

[rich garden]

Wolves do not have a population limit

[obsidian phoenix]

Adding to what has been said, you can just add a subspecies trait limiting their max population

[split owl]

yea bingo

[ruby brook]

i was sure you were thinking about them

[split owl]

wolves and goats

[ruby brook]

wolves are the only species i ever had an issue with

[split owl]

goats are real bad lmao

[ruby brook]

they spread so much

[rich garden]

Goats actually do have a population limit

[split owl]

i guess they spawn in lots of biomes

[rich garden]

I think its 500

[obsidian phoenix]

I did when I removed rabbits population limit

[split owl]

per subspecies tho

[ruby brook]

and can easily kill humanoid until they are numerous enough or geared

[split owl]

not a big deal with one subspecies

when you got 20 different subspecies of goats, its an issue

lmao

[rich garden]

Goats only spawn in rocklands, from what i remember

[ruby brook]

yeah but atleast they are not killing other animals

[split owl]

true

they just bleat a lot lol

BAAAHHHH

[ruby brook]

drop a dragon on them and everything should be fine

[split owl]

clever girl

[ruby brook]

if only dragon were not that bad 😢

[split owl]

i wish you could customize theyre subspecies too fr fr

like bruh

[ruby brook]

nah

[obsidian phoenix]

I have 3500 goats on a series of islands

[ruby brook]

we need a proper update for dragons

with their own stuff

[split owl]

bingo

how to train your dragon level of different species lol

[obsidian phoenix]

Some smaller islands had all their grass eaten by goats then they died

[eternal grotto]

i hope the update come to mobile before july ends

[ruby brook]

that's to hard. But just tiny difference (skin color, horn breath attack) would already big enough

[marble fractal]

I feel like these scenarios on islands should trigger it to lower its size gene so it needs to eat less

[split owl]

yea facts

[marble fractal]

Like irl island dwarfism

[ruby brook]

like that

[split owl]

that would be cool

omg sick yea

[ruby brook]

a frost dragon by me

they need to be able to breed, from couples create lairs and stuff like that

a HOARD

after all most of those mechanic are now in the game

Eggs ? check
lovers and couples ? check

skin variation ? subspecies ? check. Just need some special stuff for dragons

[obsidian phoenix]

Random inbred alpacas revealed to me that the number of families restricts population

[rich garden]

It does for sure

Just a lot less for animals

[obsidian phoenix]

My 34 inbred alpacas finally split into many families now there’s 90 of them

Still stuck in a mountain tho

[rich garden]

I think that at least 2 humanoid families are required for a growing population

[ruby brook]

i usually spawn 10 humanoid when i want a kingdom to start (if they breed the classic way)

[obsidian phoenix]

I had a weird thing happen in my world tho

A dwarf city got founded on an island

[rich garden]

Yes but it can be fun to start with the absolute minimum sometimes

[obsidian phoenix]

It immediately became independent with 1 guy

I have handsome migrants off and now there’s 5 of them

[ruby brook]

well sometime just 10 is hard

Rhino seems to have a hard time at the beginning

[rich garden]

Lover probably moved into the city

[carmine zephyr]

tsunami ability when?

[obsidian phoenix]

They can do that?

[rich garden]

Yup

[obsidian phoenix]

Ah that explains it

[rich garden]

It's why there was problems with kings living in kingdoms they didn't rule

[ruby brook]

maybe with a sea update

[rich garden]

When somebody can come up with a tsunami power that doesn't completely break the game

[ruby brook]

Sea and trade update is definitively the next update. I don't see any major mechanic that need to be added except that now

[obsidian phoenix]

They seem to have laid the groundwork for it

[ruby brook]

yeah

we can spot some stuff coming out of the water

like mermaids

[rocky skiff]

Pls give me game pass

[marble fractal]

they need. to add. a encylopedia to save your custom stuff

[rocky skiff]

pls

[marble fractal]

how this was not already in the update is beyond me

[obsidian phoenix]

That’s a good idea

[ruby brook]

we are sure anyway that next update we are getting the technologie rework

i'm excited for it

[split owl]

bingo. i like to have imps in my world. but ive got to recreate the demon subspecies every time i want them

[covert shadow]

i got fucking ptsd while saw an octopus tentacle comming out of water

[ruby brook]

i just hope they finally do something for Boat (i hate how they can as soon they get them expend EVERYWHERE) First shallow water then later Close ocean and even later Deep ocean

[marble fractal]

boat logic still sucks after 4 years

[covert shadow]

they must add Kraken

[obsidian phoenix]

I swear they are really slow now

[covert shadow]

like Crabzilla but Kraken

[marble fractal]

"Hmm instead of following this river that will quickly get me where I need to go, let me circumnavigate the whole continent"

[ruby brook]

well they can atleast fight now

[rich garden]

That might indicate that there is a single pixel blocking that river

[ruby brook]

They have canons

which is weird

[marble fractal]

no because i hae seen ships using the river

they just refuse to use it during wars

where it really matters

its so weird

[obsidian phoenix]

Odd

[rich garden]

Hmm

[ruby brook]

well it's just the AI

i guess for boat it's going to be really hard to make something really good

[rich garden]

Oh, and this would almost definitely have to be a world law because otherwise there will be people complaining that their civs have docks and aren't making any boats because they used only deep water tiles

[ruby brook]

yeah it would be a good idea.

but i would really like if all those details were not only cosmetics but something really useful

[tame shale]

anybody know hwo the grin mark works? I put it on a subspecie and 200 years have passed with nothing happening

[marble fractal]

If you enable the grin mark world law, it will kill off that species.

It isn't instant and it seems to kill one creature per frame.

[flint river]

I hope in the next patch they fix the bug where species that aren’t humans, dwarves, orcs, or elves never upgrade their buildings except the docks and that’s why the next patch is taking so long

[tame shale]

thanks

[flint river]

Rabbits are moving

[crimson fox]

how do i get mods/maps working?

[unkempt socket]

Is there any chance the update releases in 1-5 days

I mean uh

There hasn’t been anything for a while

Maybe tomorrow-

[thorny granite]

hmm worldbox pc is 33k

in my currency

[marble fractal]

Do you mean species?

I don't think so

I mean I am sure you can engineer it but they aren't really considered distinct by the game

[split owl]

there are kinda you can pick their phenotype (skin color) but yea no names unless you rename the subspecies yourself

[unreal verge]

any1 know why skeletons keep joining my towns

[marble fractal]

They are probably being summoned

[lost glade]

beta? that'll be one of the necromancy spells or the gift of death species trait

[marble fractal]

@west apex what ?

[west apex]

dont

[lost glade]

spammmm

[marble fractal]

You're too fast I couldn't ping eye with it. 😡😡😡

[unreal verge]

so is that either religion/clan magic or the gift of death trait

[west apex]

https://tenor.com/view/seal-elephant-seal-seal-suburb-seal-running-gif-7129384712935925759

[lost glade]

I think it's only religion magic or gift of death, can't tell you which, you'll have to look

[unreal verge]

i see, thank you

is there a trait that will make a person not join or create a kingdom, or a way to cut it off in the brain

[low maple]

Bro worldbox is the only thing you do?

[lost glade]

well you can turn off the builder trait for the whole species, but not individually. one of the neurons might be "settle a village", though. turning off that might work

[wide juniper]

Its may 1 already

In my time at least

Still no new announcement for mobile 😢

[errant nest]

Most likely in 2 hours.

That's when updates have mostly come before

They might be falling behind their expectations though.

🤞 hope it comes with a full update

[wide juniper]

Yeah, hopefully so 🙏

[marble fractal]

I hope not.

There's no way this is near fixed or balanced and I would rather a longer beta

[errant nest]

There is supposed to be an announcement this month for mobile so I'm hoping to see the announcement soon

[errant nest]

Yeah I know I'm just impatient 🤣

I want to play this bad ass update

[lost glade]

I think it's both badass and bad, in different ways

[errant nest]

Oh? In what way do you think it's bad? And don't say tech

[lost glade]

pros: everything new. cons: took out the tech (sorry!) CONS BUT UPPERCASE: UNFIXED VILLAGER BUGS

[errant nest]

🤣 I specifically said don't say tech lol,

[lost glade]

1. they get lost, and don't return
2. they don't migrate no more

[hasty tangle]

do modloaders work with beta :)

[marble fractal]

It's absolutely infuriating the amount of manual editing required to make things function and the devs keep giving the excuse for poorly designed things ( like the terrible default human houses ) that you can manually edit it.
I want to be able to watch the game and not micromanage it

[lost glade]

I'd already typed it! 🤣

[lost glade]

I have no idea what you mean with the houses

[marble fractal]

And then when you do the editing you can't even save it .

[lost glade]

... do you maybe mean their placement?

[hasty tangle]

oh my god!

[marble fractal]

Yes. It's so terrible and NO ONE wants that as the default.

[lost glade]

inability to save edited things is kind of annoying. also I haven't seen the devs giving excuses

I'm pretty sure human houses level up and new civ's houses don't tho

[errant nest]

I don't have much to add to this conversation

[lost glade]

not sure what's going on with the other four default races' house placement tho

[lost glade]

sorry!

[hasty tangle]

its the same right?i just download the .dll and ,pdb

[errant nest]

They added alot in this update. That will probably come in later updates

[marble fractal]

I believe so

[lost glade]

also: trees appear too slow on default world laws now, not convinced even the fast plant growth world laws and/or dense vegetation world law actually improve things to pre-beta levels

[lost glade]

that's certainly a possibility, we just don't know

[errant nest]

Hopefully it will comes when tech comes back because it is a part of tech

[lost glade]

yeah that's what I'm hoping

[faint reef]

Anyone know if we’ll ever get water based citys?

[lost glade]

don't know but it would be cool

[errant nest]

I hope they have a big plan for tech. I'd love to see new things for different civs to do

[lost glade]

same

[marble fractal]

I hope not.

Land and water should be Distinct AND any update focused on that should play into the idea

If everywhere can have the same stuff it'll just start to feel samey

[faint reef]

i just think it would add onto the aquatic trait, give it more reason sort of

[lost glade]

I don't entirely disagree with that; probably not a default trait of nations, for sure

[errant nest]

I'd love to see real trade where products move from village to village over land and water

That would be so cool

Each biome has its own special items. Being able to trade them reliably and using alliances to gain different items and resources would be awesome

[hasty tangle]

collection mod betalith

[lost glade]

also: elves mysteriously only have one default onomastics setting, even though the other three default races all have at least two

[marble fractal]

I don't believe it's updated

[marble fractal]

I think that's fitting. Elves are typically the race associated with purity and viewing themselves as chosen.

[lost glade]

(Dwarves have their original name gen, but they also have a new one too, orcs seem to have had their original one split into three, humans have a bajillion mostly based on earth cultures, and one that resembles (but isn't) their orginal one, elves only have one.

It resembles about half of their original name generator, but is identical in all cases where the other default races have different name gens for units, families and clans, cities, and kingdoms, and is missing some aspects of the original one in a way that just seems unintentional)

[lost glade]

Would be entirely valid if it wasn't incomplete compared to its previous state

they could have just ported the original one in like they did for one of the dwarf ones, but they've borked it

it's probably just an oversight that they don't have unique generators for other categories

but I hope they notice before the beta is done, because currently it's ugly. Not as ugly as the cat name generator but at least they're a new race lol

[errant nest]

Meow

[lost glade]

and the player is definitely meant to want to change that/being given examples of how the generator works

[errant nest]

Lolz

You realize that you can change the language right?

[lost glade]

The first example in my tutorial for onomastics is all about the cat name gen, which proves it makes a good simple example, and also an example of how you can improve it

[marble fractal]

Hi

[marble fractal]

The Wolf race names are the worst

" Waff of Waf killed Waaagh of Waaagh "

[errant nest]

Keep chatting

[lost glade]

yes I just want parity in the default race names at least with how they used to be. meow is on purpose, and probably useful for teaching

[marble fractal]

In #📕information it will show you the level roles

[marble fractal]

Like hahaha it's dog noises but the names are all so similar

[dapper atlas]

Worldbox

[lost glade]

I wish so much to be able to save onomastics in a more detailed fashion in-game, so you can easily apply changes to this stuff that you made before. You can just save them in a document and copy them in, but it goes along with wanting to be able to save everything generally

I made a better dogs names too? but it's still dog noises. when I understand the more complex onomastics, I'll probably expand on it

opens up the worldbox screen I had minimised to go find the dog names thing I did

immediately discovers the game running, on sonic speed

oh yeah, I was doing this to look at the default races' house placement, let's see how they did

[final spoke]

What do you have to do if the touch grass achievement doesn’t happen when you touch grass???

[jolly remnant]

Is it out yet?

[gleaming marten]

Cuando sale la actualización a móviles? 😵‍💫 ( Al menos mientan para mantener mis esperanzas xd )

[final spoke]

What do you do if you don’t get the touch grass achievement the first time

I’ve done it like 30 times and still haven’t gotten it

Can you even get it on mobile

[lost glade]

you gotta use the finger tool ... if that didn't work I dunno what's going on

[final spoke]

I know I’ve been doing that

Still haven’t worked

Tried 30 times

[lost glade]

okay well, no clue bro, sounds like a bug

[final spoke]

):

And storm of a hundred twisters doesn’t work too

When I try to get the achievement

[lost glade]

also I don't know if you can get all achievements on mobile without premium, if you don't got it

[final spoke]

I do have premium

I got some

[lost glade]

well then. unless you've confused the default state of the cursor for the finger tool, you're suffering from a bug

[final spoke]

Achievement

Yes probably

It works with some achievements but doesn’t work with others

[lost glade]

well that sucks, bro

[final spoke]

I know

):

[lost glade]

hopefully when the new update will arrives for mobile it'll sort out your problem

[final spoke]

I hope

[lost glade]

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game

[final spoke]

Yes

[lost glade]

welp

[final spoke]

Also when you try and get the king of kings achievement does the king leave the kingdom a lot

It always leave the kingdom

[gritty sonnet]

How are favorite items passed down? this one pendant from a favorite was passed down to an apparently random person

[final spoke]

I don’t know

[lost glade]

I think it's random; dead units equipment goes back to city storage and gets redistributed

[final spoke]

Yea probably

[lost glade]

I don't think it's any different in the beta with favourited items

[final spoke]

Or with a skeleton it has the same weapon when it was alive

[gritty sonnet]

yeah but like my favorite isn’t even dead? she is still alive with 117 years that’s why I’m a bit confused

[final spoke]

Or sometimes others units loot the weapon

Wel I don’t know

Well

[lost glade]

usually units take the equipment of anyone they kill if it's better than theirs based on material and equipment quality

[final spoke]

True

But with a skeleton they have the same weapon before dying

[gritty sonnet]

yeah that’s true but she isn’t dead

[lost glade]

(Legendary wooden stick, sometimes interpreted as better than steel sword, smh)

[lost glade]

well, that's odd

[final spoke]

I think units can pass down weapons or something

It might be the case

[lost glade]

Is the unit listed as their best friend, maybe? presumably not a family member or lover, since you're asking

[final spoke]

Maybe

🤔

[wanton jewel]

qu

[wanton jewel]

can you repeat this in english

[final spoke]

Also when you guys do try and do the king of kings achievement does he leave the kingdom

No

[wanton jewel]

Nadie lo sabe, pero será pronto (enviado desde el traductor de Google, por lo que podría ser muy inexacto)

[lost glade]

I didn't think there was anything in the new update that changed equipment distribution, but I've mostly been studying onomastics and watching pumpkins blow up cities

[lost glade]

did you make him mad or something? they shouldn't leave otherwise

[gritty sonnet]

ohhh yeah she is her best friend

I didn’t know that until I checked rn

[lost glade]

oh neat, that's a new ass feature I never saw

[final spoke]

I don’t know

[gritty sonnet]

If I’m right she will also pass her legendary sword to her then?

[final spoke]

I think so

[gritty sonnet]

Im gonna let that favorite unit die of age

[lost glade]

no clue, even if stuff does get passed down, it could go to someone else they know too

it could also be totally random

[final spoke]

It’s random really

[lost glade]

it is pre-beta

[gritty sonnet]

Im making her best friend kill the person with the sword

[lost glade]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok!

[final spoke]

Can you give units armor and weapons without mods

[lost glade]

in the beta you can now

pre beta, no

[final spoke]

Ok

So the regular game

Or no

[lost glade]

not in the latest full release

which mobile players are stuck with

I think most people like some anime. but you should probably ask questions like this in general chat

[fickle crater]

What do you guys think is the worst naturally civ-creating subspecies (for my money its the Gnapkins, the piranha people)

[lost glade]

worst at what? being a civ? or least favourite?

[marble fractal]

Monkeys

[fickle crater]

worst at being a civ yeah

[marble fractal]

They cannot form anything that

Lasts

[lost glade]

no idea

do any of them have shattered crown?

[fickle crater]

Really? I have had the opposite experience, what traits make you think that?

[lost glade]

or any one that keeps getting in fights with each other and clans die off too easily so they essentially get shattered crown anyway

[fickle crater]

I believe orcs are the only race to guarantee having shattered crown, but I think they have enough to make up for that that they aren't completely bad

[marble fractal]

They just fail to thrive whatsoever

[final spoke]

True

If there are two orc kingdoms they will attack each other immediately

[fickle crater]

Ill have to look into what traits they get, because I was under the impression they were pretty good

[final spoke]

They get 7 traits born naturally

Max

I think

[lost glade]

sure you didn't just get a garbage subspecies

[final spoke]

How do you get subspecies’s

?

[lost glade]

yes, pre-beta. beta has so many new features we're dying of them

[fickle crater]

Gnapkins are worst imo because they have ethnocentric guard and don't have the stats to back up the warfare strategy

[lost glade]

beta, sorry

[final spoke]

Can mobile players give stuff to units

[lost glade]

nope

[fickle crater]

I really like talking about game balance and havent seen anyone discuss it here (I actually don't think this game needs to be balanced at all tbh, I just think its fun to talk about)

[final spoke]

Aw man

I really wanted to give stuff to units

[marble fractal]

I'm sure because this was before the random genes thing

They just could not form a civ at all while everyone else did.

[lost glade]

I guess they either were having a bad day, or needed to be buffed

[fickle crater]

My first world (patch 0.50.0) had the monkeys dominate completely

[lost glade]

recently saw some rats who had arcane desert adaption just refuse to settle in the desert

[fickle crater]

So I think they just got unlucky, or maybe somthn to do with the biome

[lost glade]

I made a lore comment about it, but it was weird ...

[jolly remnant]

Is it out yet ?

🥺

[lost glade]

No, sorry

[jolly remnant]

NOOOOOOO

[lost glade]

I'm still hoping we get another patch in the next 24 hours

[jolly remnant]

Let it be the last patch so i can finally get peak on my phone

🙏🙏🙏

[lost glade]

But given they said April 1st for the beta launch and it was pretty far into April 1st (it was already April 2nd here) it might take a while

[fickle crater]

Yeah but like also... I like the small changes and fixes the beta format allows and theres so much more that I think should be adressed

[lost glade]

There's definitely still things as need addressing, for sure.

[marble yew]

Lol, mobile update will likely not be out this year.

[fickle crater]

I wouldn't say that, but my guess is on like early june

[lost glade]

Based on someone messing about with the code, mobile and pc versions use the same code

So??? Probably going at the same rate as the beta

[marble yew]

Not even close lol. It took Maxim 2 years to get this beta to PC, and he hasn't even teased at anything mobile lol?

[fickle crater]

(which is just over a month away)

[jolly remnant]

I mean he did add everything we wanted, cut the man some slack

[lost glade]

I think he's just bad at communicating

[fickle crater]

Honestly not even

[lost glade]

No teasers doesn't mean no work

[marble fractal]

In the original beta post, I believe he said something at the bottom.

[marble yew]

No, he's cryptic. He enjoys hints and secrets.

[fickle crater]

As a silksong fan he's actually incredible at communicating

[lost glade]

The mobile closed beta is running too, yeah

[marble yew]

Not much to go on, huh?

[lost glade]

Means the mobile version is in a beta state at least???

You just can't get it bc platform restrictions

[silent bone]

You know, this gift is pretty useless

[marble yew]

3 developers, you have maybe one dedicated to mobile, however PC remains the priority. Think of all the work there is left in fixing the PC update then imagine the amount of work still left to do on mobile

[final spoke]

Pls work on mobile

[stuck crescent]

they'll release on December 35th

[lost glade]

Honestly I think he probably has better things to do with five minutes of his day than reassure people he's working on the mobile update he's already stated once is on the way

[fickle crater]

question does vegetation include trees?

[silent bone]

Idk

probably

[fickle crater]

because if it does thats probably pretty good for that reason

[lost glade]

Like I said, as weird as it sounds to me, someone found they could convince the pc version they were playing the mobile version; seems like they use very similar/the same code

[marble yew]

No clue what that is.

[fickle crater]

disable mobile is a toggle in the pc debug menu iirc

[lost glade]

Useful if the world is not grass biome and they want grass biome tho

[marble yew]

It's probably all developed on a computer and not a phone lol.

[lost glade]

I mean like ... they messed with a setting in the code and it became mobile-mode

It was weird, and I am bad at remembering names, so I can't tell you who it was to ask them about it, but it happened ... well some time this month

[lost glade]

Well, I assume they code on a pc ...

[marble yew]

Eh, I'm a pretty skeptical dude anyway. Not trying to ruin anyones day or anything. Just trying to not let anyone cling to false hope.

[lost glade]

Some people seem to prefer false hope, but understandable

[fickle crater]

me too, but I use both pc and mobile so I'm not desparately waiting for anything

[marble yew]

They just get upset at Maxim at the end for not meeting their criteria

[fickle crater]

That is true

[lost glade]

I on the other hand prefer details so I can speculate ...

[fickle crater]

Speculation is very fun

[lost glade]

Depends on whether they actually believe the false hope or they're just using it to not get depressed or whatever

[marble yew]

Both are pretty bad lol. They either believe it and get mad because it was wrong, or they're now depressed because it was wrong

[lost glade]

Shrug

[fickle crater]

depressed is a very strong word lmao

[lost glade]

Yeah

I know but some of the mobile only players act like they're dying

[marble yew]

Not an easy let down to think something you really want will come tomorrow, but then actually doesn't lol.

[dusk plank]

Ahh finally

[gritty sonnet]

How does renown work? like is it the amount of people that know about it?

[dusk plank]

My grandchildren can play the update on mobile

[lost glade]

I dunno bro, act like you have a hard life maybe when you suffer from treatment resistant depression for a decade and then discover that guy who suggested it was ADHD ten years ago was right ......

[fickle crater]

what

[lost glade]

By which I mean, not getting a video game for a month is a small beans problem

[fickle crater]

Oh yeah

[lost glade]

I know that was tmi

Just wanted to be extra about it

[fickle crater]

but very relatable 😭

[dusk plank]

You're on PC too?

I can relate to mobile players

It's a small bean you cant swallow

If you were the one deprived of the access

[fickle crater]

amazing wordplay, good job (Im being serious)

I honestly wish there was better youtube coverage of the update

[dusk plank]

There ain't any 😭

[fickle crater]

theres like a tinnnnny bit

[lost glade]

Oh, both

I would like mobile version so I can stop sitting at my pc all day

[fickle crater]

I want it for my bus commute

[lost glade]

ye

[dusk plank]

But hey, we got crack worldbox

[dusk plank]

oh mb english isn't my first language lol

[lost glade]

worked really well tho

[dusk plank]

Crashout for not having the update is fine lol

But making threats were too far 💀

[lost glade]

I understand why they're sad

[dusk plank]

Reddit became chaotic

[fickle crater]

wait WHAT

[lost glade]

that one guy? I dunno what he was on about, he admitted to being a (young) teen at one point

he was just experiencing the horrors of being that age I think

[dusk plank]

Oh ofcourse he's young 😭

[lost glade]

which for him apparently include being yelled at by people twice his age for saying bad things about Maxim (and that the war in Ukraine wasn't an excuse for slow updates??? wtf??)

[dusk plank]

I got bored anyways after a few weeks of messing around w the update

[fickle crater]

I still havent

[lost glade]

eh you can't play a game for several weeks straight and not get bored eventually, unless you're mad obsessed

[fickle crater]

Its just fun to watch kingdoms do things

[dusk plank]

The mobile experience is just way better

[lost glade]

terrain tools are harder to use on mobile imo

[dusk plank]

I wanna lay down while playing

[lost glade]

SAME

[dusk plank]

That's true

But if you are a man of focus and sheer will, nothing is impossible

Im kiddin

[fickle crater]

and you do have the hotkey powers on pc which is nice

[dusk plank]

Well as long as I can sacrifice cat people to the volcano, it's still a great day

[lost glade]

finger to screen size issues, plus you can't use the wasd keys to draw straight lines

[faint sundial]

Mobile update when

[dusk plank]

May 1st

[fickle crater]

noooooboooooddddy knowssssss

[dusk plank]

2043

[lost glade]

Do they have the pure trait? I learnt recently any race with pure works just as good as elves for unlocking forbidden knowledge (edited bc it sounded weird)

[fickle crater]

wait what really

[lost glade]

so the wiki claims

[fickle crater]

what does the pure trait even do?

[dusk plank]

I dont need to do it to unlock something

I dont even know that

I just sacrifice em for fun

"you could make a religion out of this"

[lost glade]

stops them from being affected by the monolith, also apparently allows them to be sacrificed for forbidden knowledge

[lost glade]

favourite source of memes

[fickle crater]

please dont make a religion out of murdering furries in cold blood

[dusk plank]

Try locking in on mobile, you'll become a master of the world

[lost glade]

it's bad enough on a tablet screen; can't imagine trying to play on a phone

[dusk plank]

You mean "sending cats to heaven to avoid suffering" (Babies go first)

[lost glade]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

poor kitties

[dusk plank]

Awkward cause you're in the catclub lol

[lost glade]

that's why I care yeah lol 😆

I love cats sorry

(also most other animals but cats especially)

[dusk plank]

I can let them live for you

[lost glade]

(also plants, I really like plants)

(biology nerd sorry)

[dusk plank]

I might just make them mutated gumballs with one eye and a humped back

"charming trait"

[fickle crater]

"How many genocides have you committed?" - Worldbox subreddit

[lost glade]

(did you know, there's a plant that may or may not be able to see? shit is wild)

[fickle crater]

:0

[lost glade]

just chucking elves into volcanoes, two or three

[dusk plank]

Whatever people commented on that, it's all rookie numbers

[fickle crater]

Ive observed many but never stepped in, the direct number would probably be like 5-15

[lost glade]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boquila this wack ass thing

[maiden ermine]

why worldbox dont get updates/theres no new things in the game for the past like 3-4 months

[lost glade]

mostly just watch them murder each other, too

[lost glade]

it do get updates, they're just all massive and take forever

[dusk plank]

Update has been released in PC for over a month now. In mobile, update is yet to come once beta is done

It's not fully released

[lost glade]

and right now we've got beta of the latest version on pc

[dusk plank]

It's just a beta version in pc*

[maiden ermine]

thanks

[lost glade]

but no beta on mobile because app store restrictions

[dusk plank]

lame

[lost glade]

yeah it sucks

something to do with quality control, I think, but it's annoying as hell

[fickle crater]

google 🤮

[lost glade]

what did google do to you

or is the AI summary just being stupid

[fickle crater]

big scummy company

[lost glade]

oh, well, yeah there is that

I don't think "big company" and "not at least kind of terrible" can go together

[fickle crater]

oh also they own the play store

[lost glade]

yeah, true, but it's Apple too

so same deal

[fickle crater]

so they are the reason wb is not on android at least

[lost glade]

yeah

honestly for something that's presumably for quality control, it's not like they're doing quality control on other stuff on the play store

there's way worse garbage on there than "buggy version of worldbox"

[fickle crater]

I just wish there was an option for developers to have open betas

bc thats such a nice tool

[lost glade]

yeah, it would be good for us, and probably help a lot of devs

Man, it'd be nice if pre-beta worlds remembered what age they were in

they're all just set to random age

Also I want access to the culture and language name generators! I know we probably don't need em but I am kind of obsessed with onomastics

also they need to fix that bug with clan names getting endings like they used to, but I'm pretty sure that's a bug

[echo violet]

every world I create there's bound to be genocide in it

[lost glade]

ya but was it you doing it, or just the units

I swear they're even more ham about genocide than we are

[marble fractal]

Why don't they just make cultural reeducation camps for other units

[warm valve]

What happen to the WB update for mobile?

[fickle crater]

its coming, we dont know much

[warm valve]

Its already May

It's May yohooooooh Mr. Maxim!

[lost glade]

Well the pc version is still in beta you know

[marble fractal]

If the next patch doesn't have its own " sporepedia " ....

[lost glade]

The update just ain't done, and platform restrictions mean mobile players can't have it

[warm valve]

At least you clan play it How about mobile users?

[lost glade]

I know right

[lost glade]

I can play it and get a sore back mostly ...

Platform restrictions are not under the WB devs control

And the update is still cooking

[warm valve]

Maybe its overcooked now

[lost glade]

I do hope we get another patch today, but like ... can't make demands of people who are making free updates to a game you only paid for once

Well, twice in my case

But point stands

[marble fractal]

I initially pirated it and liked it so much I had to buy the actual game.

I wish I would have just bought it at first.

[lost glade]

(Don't say that you'll get in trouble!)

[marble fractal]

I've said this a few times before and I have purchased the actual game.
But you're probably right.

[jade token]

Has there been any new news on the mobile update 😩

[marble fractal]

There has not been.

[jade token]

This has got to be a form of torture

[unreal verge]

do subspecies naturally evolve overtime? wondering becuase it looks like it, as a new human species evolved from one of the most popular human species, and i dont think i have a monolith

[lost glade]

You need something else to do bro, or you'll go insane

[lost glade]

I don't think they do?? But I'm not 100% sure

[jade token]

I have been, I've been trying not to think bout it but man it do be hard

Patience is a virtue

[lost glade]

It's good for you, yeah

[hasty tangle]

does anyone else like the pre-beta village layouts more

[lost glade]

Yeah, a lot. To some degree it's just a need for optimisation of house numbers per area, but I do think it can look really ugly

[hasty tangle]

i like the pre-beta fast cultures best

the villages are more clumped together but not too cramped

[lost glade]

Haven't looked at how they build houses under that setting, but it makes sense that it'd be denser

[quaint moon]

Update anyone?

[lost glade]

God I hope for patch

[quaint moon]

Bro I will slap you

I am tired of patches

I need mobile update

[lost glade]

What? Oh sorry man

Wasn't thinking

I do think you might need a new work distraction tho

[novel timber]

real

[quaint moon]

Bro

Your right

[lost glade]

Sadly, being impatient will not get the work on the update done any faster. It does suck that half the players can't access the update tho.

[lost glade]

I'd totally suggest something if I knew of anything else you can do while waiting for teens to be delinquent

[quaint moon]

Your embarrassing me 😤 you know that

[lost glade]

Uhhh do you like web fiction

[quaint moon]

You make me sound like I am out to get people

[lost glade]

I don't mean to! I'm sorry, I can be bad at words sometimes

[quaint moon]

It’s ok your a very valid good bean

Your intentions are pure

But I will probably redownload webtoons

And read that

To pass time

[lost glade]

Mmm if you like text fiction, RoyalRoad exists

Spent way too many hours on that hellsite

[errant nest]

❤️

[lost glade]

Main contents: huge amounts of bad litrpg, isekai, and western-written xianxia, some actually decent fiction of the above categories, and the occasional thing in other genres

Superhero stuff seems to be taking off lately

[stuck remnant]

is there any way to give an animal, like a frog, the intelligence that a monolith gives but without the need to place a monolith? i want to have an intelligent animal but invoking a monolith gives intelligence to everything around it.

[lost glade]

Yeah, there's the brain traits in the subspecies editor

(You can't force them to turn humanoid, but once you unlock that race you can spawn them again anyway)

[stuck remnant]

is that I want an intelligent animal but one that keeps its animal mode, without changing its appearance.

[stuck remnant]

I saw that, but the monolith gives them a higher intelligence trait.

[alpine lodge]

yall is the update out?

in the mobile

[lost glade]

uhhhh you can just mess with their genes

[lost glade]

no sorry

[stuck remnant]

Is there a specific gene that gives them the intelligence of the monolith without using the monolith?

[lost glade]

ya the int ones

(colours may vary)

[rich garden]

What do you mean genes?

Isn't the intelligence "of the monolith" the advanced brain traits?

[stuck remnant]

nice

thanks

[lost glade]

Yeah I'm a little confused but if he wants to increase the base int of a species, there it is

[marble fractal]

Worldbox needs to add corpses

That way we can have scavengers

[silent bone]

Have you heard of something called "lag"?

[lost glade]

The eternal enemy of all video game players

[silent bone]

yes

[raven apex]

Mobileeeeeeee 😭😭😭

[stuck remnant]

I am testing but the genetically enhanced animal, improving the sub species, and modifying traits of an animal that did not interact with the monolith, and even giving it all the intelligence traits it is still less intelligent than an animal mutated by the monolith, note that the animals modified by the monolith have a trait in their sub species called "uplifted" but this can not be activated manually, at least as far as I saw, so, I think you can not do what I want lol

[lost glade]

Well that's just weird, unless the uplifted species has the super intelligence trait, or they have genius as a birth trait

Or a whole bunch of int 3 genes on gold or something

[lost glade]

oh that was a reply to why we shouldn't have corpses! man I am slow

hey @rich garden can you tell me about the variation in stats/genes generated for subspecies (without gene spaghetti)? specifically, can guys get stats they don't have a "requirement" for, like if the species doesn't always generate with an armour gene, can a random subspecies get one anyway?

I should probably be able to figure it out on my own but you probably know the answer and I'm lazy

it seems like the answer is yes, but I'm still interested in any insights

[rich garden]

Yes except for attack speed, that I've noticed

The og 4 humanoids don't have armor stats at baseline, but they tend to generate with some regardless

[quaint moon]

Kinda would be cool if they let you design houses

Like how they let you decide to create species

Then I can make my off shoot trolls and ogres races

[lost glade]

Well that's interesting, I think I've seen guys with attack speed genes before; does that mean their species always have an attack speed gene?

[lost glade]

Pixel art is kind of hard to make look good, so it seems easier to just let the player pick a house set that already exists in the game. I'd like that option better

Otherwise I guess they could break up the house assets into pieces and then let you put them together somehow

[quaint moon]

I would also be fine with a few more house types that no species has being created so that you can give it to new sub species you create

[lost glade]

But I think that would mean those pieces have to fit together, which might make them all more samey

[lost glade]

This would be nice, if you could pick them

... I kinda suspect being able to choose house sets might make them less likely to make more different building art, but I can't really figure out why that feels vaguely likely

Something to do with customisability

[quaint moon]

I do Agree that you should be able to choose but I also agree that it would look very weird if orcs have elf type houses

[lost glade]

(Can happen in the latest update anyway, if orcs took over elf villages)

[quaint moon]

Oh

:/

I rescind my opinion then ^_^

[lost glade]

No I'd still like to be able to pick

[quaint moon]

I support you

It’s a good idea

[lost glade]

Especially if it was culture linked

I might make a suggestion some time

[quaint moon]

But I really want them to add unique extra houses not associated with any races

So that you could give them to any sub species you make

[quaint moon]

I am mad at pumpkin cause no update

I vote burger

[lost glade]

... I vote pumpkin because I don't want the exploding pumpkins to return. Maybe if I'm nice to them they'll leave me alone

Also because the exploding pumpkins were hilarious

[trim comet]

Hey guys, I posted a game suggestion for worldbox called Religion-More advanced version of cultures, I would appreciate it if you go and check it out!

[silent bone]

Religion already exists in the Beta

[raven apex]

It's the end of April.
@craggy plank What are you doing

[misty stratus]

Hello angry birders

[echo violet]

patch 5 have to be MASSIVE because they are taking their sweet time

[silent bone]

fr fr

[lost glade]

pretty sure it's either got the mystery feature mentioned in that one post or it's the release candidate

this

where there should be number 5 is question marks, which I guess could be a joke, but most people think it's related to the deity field in religions also being question marks

(that said, I don't exactly know they've managed to prevent "kings leaving their cities" either ....)

[sleek zealot]

They werent joking about the knife this time.

I hope bro will be alright

[lost glade]

I think you wrong chat

[quick river]

Agartha worldbox

[echo violet]

I think the game should add a jail system where imprisoned nobles can affect a war, and the kingdom can also pay ransom with gold or other materials (Just my opinion tho)

[lost glade]

might be interesting, if nobles didn't just switch sides when their village got captured. (I'm not sure about affecting wars from jail tho)

[brittle lark]

Is it possible to make a human and an elf have a child?

[wild tinsel]

no

[echo violet]

I guess so. Usually when a noble gets captured it affects the land they rule, like how much soldiers they can recruit etc. I doubt the game will go too detailed on that

[brittle lark]

I was thinking here that it would be really cool if it was possible to mix races and create hybrids.

[lost glade]

yeah, it would be more realistic than the current state of affairs, it's just pretty different from how it currently is

[lost glade]

at the moment, only creatures of different subspecies of the same species can interbreed; the offspring is one or the other. might be interesting if it created a new subspecies for hybrids of subspecies to belong to

[fierce seal]

how do I make a village do a plot I want

[lost glade]

With the default races, they're being represented as different genera of homonids, though, so not even the same genus let alone species

[lost glade]

first you gotta unlock the plot by finding someone else already doing it, and look at its window

[fierce seal]

but I don't know how to make them do it so I can unlock it

:(

I only have the war plot

[lost glade]

then you gotta go to the window of the leader you want to do that plot and go to the plots tab and click on the plot you want them to do

[lost glade]

you kinda gotta just wait; if it's a spell plot, you have to make sure their religion happens

otherwise, it's just waiting

[fierce seal]

so I have to wait ;(

that's so boring :(

[lost glade]

... wait aren't you the guy who can only access mobile right now, or was that someone else

[raven apex]

Update update update

[fierce seal]

I am the one who used to only access to mobile, then I bought a steam one

[lost glade]

ah ok, well, you can also unlock all with forbidden knowledge, but that turns off actually unlocking things

if you enjoy unlocking things

if you don't care, summon 500 elves and drop them in lava with the magnet

[fierce seal]

what 💀

[lost glade]

and then there's a tab thing on the world laws screen called "forbidden knowledge" where an eye appears in the middle of the black hole that you gotta click

[fierce seal]

hmm...

[lost glade]

and then that unlocks everything for that world, but you can't get achievements

[fierce seal]

I want to unlock it by myself so I won't do that things

[lost glade]

and nothing unlocked is unlocked for other worlds

so it doesn't stop you doing the unlock quest in other saves

also it gets you an achievement, and unlocks the forbidden knowledge setting on the world gen screen

[fierce seal]

so it will unlock everything in a world, then if I want to unlock it again I have to make another world

[lost glade]

essentially

[fierce seal]

yeah but it turn off real unlocking things so I don't really want to do that

[lost glade]

this is reasonable; that's pretty much why it's called forbidden knowledge

[fierce seal]

so I think I will make a super big world then put a lot of kingdoms there until someone make the plot

[lost glade]

that will probably do it pretty quickly if you just want to make them make a new religion or rebel or something

[fierce seal]

I want the plot peace talk

[lost glade]

ah yeah

[fierce seal]

and the one creating alliance

[errant nest]

I'm sad

[lost glade]

that can be a bit hard to find, because they have to stay at war long enough to decide they'd like it to stop now

[lost glade]

bc no mobile update/news today?

[fierce seal]

I think I will make them attack each other then separate them

[errant nest]

Yeah. But it's ok I understand. I've tried making a game before and it isn't easy. I was hoping for a news update though

[fierce seal]

so they will in the war

and cannot attack each other

[lost glade]

I don't know that wars you make them have can be ended

at least if you use the whisper of war tool, they fight to the death

dunno about plots

[errant nest]

Yeah think that has to happen naturally

[fierce seal]

hmm lemme try

[lost glade]

but separating them once they start fighting should still do it

[lost glade]

I honestly won't be giving up hope for info/a patch for another like ... twelve hours, because that's pretty much when the beta actually came out a month ago

(after midnight for me, after I'd given up and gone to sleep)

[quaint moon]

All the doggies of every environment

[lost glade]

many good boys/girls

(they're good dogs, brent)

[errant nest]

I'm really excited for that first time I get my hands on the update and get to start the achievement collection and demon making

Ever since I heard about how hard demons were to keep alive I've been skeaming about how to make them dominate

I think I have a pretty good idea on how to do it

[lost glade]

are they? I've spent most of my actual longform playtime in this update in one world where everything that's civilised is by monolith on already present creatures

so I haven't spent a lot of time with demons

[errant nest]

It's is their reproductive process. They steal souls and use them to make children of their race

[lost glade]

ah right, that. dunno how easy that would be to work with if you keep it

they'd need another sacrificial sapient

[errant nest]

I plan to work around it

[lost glade]

orrrrr demon towers?

should summon demons of the closest subspecies

which would be the sapient one if they're closest

[errant nest]

What I want to do is make them enslave elves and be cannibalistic so they eat the elves they take into their village and use the Phoenix rebirth to make those demons that get eaten to come back.

[lost glade]

... isn't that having a sacrificial species?

wait

are the elves or the demons cannibalistic?

[errant nest]

Neither are naturally

[lost glade]

rebirth traits only work if the unit has lived a minimum of 70% or something of their lifespan

[lost glade]

I meant in this theoretical case

but you did say, I think I read too quickly

brain is starting to go awol goddamn it

[errant nest]

Yeah demons would be cannibalistic

[errant nest]

@lost glade what do you think? Would it work in your mind? Lolz

I think it fits demons

[lost glade]

I'm trying to figure out how it could work

[errant nest]

We already throw elves into the lava now I'm feeding them to my demons

[lost glade]

but also I don't entirely understand what you're saying because awol brain

do the elves have the rebirth trait, or the demons

[errant nest]

The demons would have that trait. In case they eat one of their own

[lost glade]

also I don't know if you could keep the elves under control, there ain't really slavery

[lost glade]

Oh I get what that part of the explanation meant now

[errant nest]

Joint or die

Bring them into the village to be eaten

[lost glade]

oh I see

still might not stop the elves from taking over

especially since summoned skeletons can take over, and they don't have brains

[errant nest]

Yeah I know. And the rebirth might not be as powerful as I hope it is.

[lost glade]

it's a bit messy with that age requirement, for sure

[errant nest]

Elves birth new elves fast though so the demons would have a huge food supply lolz

[lost glade]

that's kind of the problem here. they really gotta add slavery to WB lol

then a culture could be a slaver culture and that would solve all these problems

[errant nest]

Idk it's just an idea I've had rolling around in my head ever since I found out about the update

I've slowly been finding traits to help from what I hear other players talking about on here lolz

[lost glade]

It may well work

[errant nest]

It will probably work better then the base demon at least

Unless they eat themselves into extinction

[lost glade]

Well base demons also live ages

I'd check how long, but I got up to get food to rectify AWOL brain

[errant nest]

Yeah they are no longer Immortal

They got a debuff

[lost glade]

Oh ya forgot they were immortal before

[errant nest]

Always loved their swords ngl

[lost glade]

Fire swod

[errant nest]

[lost glade]

(Intentional misspelling)

[errant nest]

[lost glade]

Haha

That's what they are

[errant nest]

Yep lolz

[lost glade]

I mean they kind of just look like how angles are drawn in maths diagrams too

They've got a curved line marking where their angle is

[errant nest]

I've seen a few of their buildings and they kinda look cool

[lost glade]

They're pretty neat

[lost glade]

I'd draw a picture to demonstrate but still trying to acquire food

[errant nest]

I don't have any special ideas for them but I just found it funny

[lost glade]

They are incredibly hilarious

[errant nest]

Definitely

[lost glade]

Anyone who disagrees ... well I guess they can have that opinion but clearly they're not annoyed by people who can't spell

[errant nest]

I hope the update isn't another month away. But it seems more likely

[lost glade]

No idea honestly

[fierce seal]

it's been 30 years of war, and instead of having peace talk I have "new book"

wtf is new book

[lost glade]

If it's not today, my estimates are all "big shrug"

[errant nest]

They are writing a book

[lost glade]

This is a thing that happens now, they use reading to level up

[errant nest]

Yep

[lost glade]

Gain new knowledge and that

[fierce seal]

oh shit bad new

[errant nest]

It's kinda awesome and the books can out live the civ that wrote it

[fierce seal]

he die

[errant nest]

Did he at least finish the book?

[fierce seal]

no 💀

[errant nest]

🤣

[fierce seal]

what will happen if he finish the book

no way someone writing a new book again

[errant nest]

Then people would be able to read it and possibly gain traits and exp

[lost glade]

they frickin love writing books my man, as soon as they get libraries they start filling them with tomes of (dubious) knowledge

[errant nest]

Books also can pass on magic I believe

[lost glade]

once books are written, they exist as an object in the library building of a village (might also be able to be stored in the town hall) and people read them and get xp/stat bonuses/various traits
