theres only one thing you have to do to win the game
#Discord Earth Conquest
mellow trench
use all cash to buy troops. use all troops to take land. repeat
its what the winners of season 1 did
its what jayd did
its the mathematical best strategy
secondly,
late-game becomes tedious and repetitive
and i dont know how i could implement better mechanics without making it actually straight up a video game
or at least controlled with a program
mellow trench
yeah i knew she'd win when i saw her doing the perfect strategy
and other people.. skipping their turns
which is mathematically the worst thing you could do
dry saffron
who was season one’s winner
mellow trench
there were multiple
sadly the channel it was done in was deleted
i dont know if there's a copy of the results
dreamy vessel
mellow trench
how would that solve the above issues
nova pollen
use all cash to buy troops. use all troops to take land. repeat
maybe you could add a kinda tax at the start of each turn, growing depending on how much land you have? Like paying for infrastructure and fixing it and stuff? Also if the explanation is infrastructure then maybe you could also pay above the minimum to improve your country's infrastructure, making it so troops can move faster across it or maybe better conditions would make better and more efficient troops?
mellow trench
i don't see how that'd fix the issue

just make it a game

I think the main issue is how the only “resource” you really have is troops
money only goes into troops, unless you’re jayd who decides to drown Libya for some reason
maybe a way to have more options of what you put your money into

ideas
-quality of life
spend money to improve citizen happiness
Needs to be above a certain level
More happiness -> better income and military
-science
Makes troops more efficient. Unlocks air and sea invasion, as well as terraforming (to an extent)
-cities
Place them in the map at a cost. Increase money and can house more troops
-ideology
Can give a boost to a certain production. (higher income, higher science, cheaper troops, etc)
dry saffron
what did libya do to you
twix gave someone 2 pixels in libya
i decided the best way to remove the new player would be to completely erase the country
mighty pier
güh
dry saffron
i need to be positive that they’re gone
mellow trench
buildings and cities sound like a great idea i could easily implement
and certain things to actually invest in
dry saffron
buildings and cities sound like a great idea i could easily implement
make people start with tents
mellow trench
i wanna add like, actual resource resouces but that's the kind of mechanic i'd have to make an actual video game for
mellow trench
buildings and cities sound like a great idea i could easily implement
they'd also pair super well with the nukes and missiles
mighty pier
I think having too many resources just makes it too complex
Like having separate stuff for like iron or wood or coal or whatever
mellow trench
yeah but in its current state DEC is very simple
so simple that the mathematically best thing to do is just buy -> invade -> repeat
mighty pier
I think just having troops/science is enough
Since I don’t want people being able to instantly start off with maritime invasions
mellow trench
yeah that makes sense too
mellow trench
i'm also just not entirely sure if i wanna do another season
like yeah dec is fun but
my brain hates being the manager for it
i can publish a blank map file and blank desmos graph if yalls want those

are you sure you don’t have a form of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
mellow trench
are you *sure* you don’t have a form of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
no im not sure
but i also dont have a professional diagnosis
and likely wont get one any time soon
so for now im just lazy

make an actual game!
would be pretty fun
mellow trench
i agree
it would be fun
but im still in the progress of learning how to use godot
hybrid thistle
how would that solve the above issues
i mean tbf it could tax money from them to do repairs and make them unable to just instantly go to war, kinda like a stun thing?

rolls a Nat 1
entire country gets atlantised by jayd

So how has this been going since I died?
valid tusk
where do i apply for season 5
mellow trench
you don't
i might not host a season 5 of this
if you all want the blank map and desmos graph i used for season 4 lmk
hybrid thistle
season 4 has been won
who won btw
mellow trench
both you and jayd were the only people left so
i dont remember exactly what jayd did at the end but
dry saffron
i dont remember exactly what jayd did at the end but
entire map now belongs to rifted (except libya that’s just gone)
mellow trench
okay
true helm
How could I host @mellow trench
mellow trench
you can always make your own spin-off thread and you can always use the assets i've made
you can't host the official season 5 but

this is what i used to control season 4
all player data removed, just some example people
if you need help on how to use it lmk

How do I change the player names and amount to expand by?
Both monetarily and sizeally
mellow trench
type whatever u want to set it to here
you can use M, L, and E to represent the money, land, and economy of the player u are currently looking at
for example, M+2000
these are player names
you can duplicate them if you wan more players
you'd just change J[2] to J[3]
and {i=2} to {i=3}
then, in the label section, type the name of the player
if you'd like to change up the gameplay mechanic rules you are free to do that!
the only one i have actually hardcoded in is the investment values
over time, each investment impacts the eco score less and less
