What if after a while a suply route disconects or somthing like that?
Or of there is no player input for a certain amount of time they start losing some teritories at random ect...
#A way to punish afk players

Bad idea.
At some point people need to sleep. And if they lose a whole days worth of points just for needing some sleep/pause it would be "rather" annoying.
quaint flint
idk mb an offline version of kiomet would be nice
old sleet
It exists
quaint flint
?
old sleet
Just... play it offline lol
quaint flint
no like you can phisically pause the entire game
old sleet
Go on the github page
quaint flint
so you can sleep
old sleet
no like you can phisically pause the entire game
oohhh
quaint flint
yeahhhhhhhhh
that way runs would be easier
and squirrel could raise bot iq somehow
or just have some testers record themselves playing
and then run that

Kiomet is a strategy game. not a afk game
the reason me and alot of people i know dont like kiomet is because its just who can keep there computer on the longest

It would need to have a massive cooldown to prevent ppl from abusing it tho

It would need to have a massive cooldown to prevent ppl from abusing it tho
yeah ik
but how would you implement a pause like that
lilac heath
being able to pause the entier server?
quaint flint
with other active players
lilac heath
does everyone get one?
tight salmon
It would need to have a massive cooldown to prevent ppl from abusing it tho
Or, maybe you would need to not be sending units to an enemy to be able to pause
quaint flint
and ur invincible
you cant attack they cant attack you
but you cant use it for another 2 hours or smth
lilac heath
that will let u get infinit point then
quaint flint
but you can pause for infinite time
quaint flint
that will let u get infinit point then
no ur points stay the same
lilac heath
people will use it when they are attacked
quaint flint
you cant gain territory or lose territory during the pause
tight salmon
but you can pause for infinite time
That’s too op, maybe 9 - 10 hours
quaint flint
people will use it when they are attacked
or mb then make it so that when there is an attack you cant pause
and even after you are attacked
you have to wait like 5 minutes
before you can pause
lilac heath
how would u determin if they are attacked or not
tight salmon
before you can pause
do you mean unpause?
quaint flint
i mean pause
so if someone is attacking you, you arent able to abuse it and pause,
you have to wait for the attack to finish
then you can pause
tight salmon
That’s basically this idea

I think there's probably a better way to deal with AFK players than to grief supply lines or randomly remove territory. It'd be better to provide tools to players to more efficiently deal with bigger players that aren't paying attention(or are AFK).
i guess another way to put it is that players shouldn't be punished for being AFK, but rewarded for playing actively.

Tools to better hit behind the front lines
Ways to open up more fronts against an opponent
Options for asymmetric wars(such as naval invasions if water ever gets implemented, or some kind of paratroopers)

Higher tower hp?
that wont help get rid of afk players
midnight jackal
you can peel apart any AFK player with time, but ways to speed up that process would help

Well, when they come back

when you are surounded by them its not realy possible since there infinit loop suply lines cycle faster then you get your units
midnight jackal
If you don't have enough room to get the prerequisites for a nuke or some artillery and a satellite to take out their supply line loop, then you're better off restarting.
lilac heath
nukes wont actually help since there suply lines will get everything back again
midnight jackal
Nukes are a fine solution to supply lines. You just have to find out how their supply lines are connected. Use a nuke to hit a production building along a supply line, see if the line stops. If it doesn't, then target the next production building. You're looking for whatever building the supply line is routed to.
lilac heath
it breaks the chain if u destroy the thing it goes to?
midnight jackal
if you have a supply line that goes from A to B to C to D and you destroy B. Then their troops will go from A to B and stop
then any production on the other side that goes to C would move on like nothing was happening, but typically the big long strings of supply lines are more dangerous than one end node

ah i c what u mean
