Bay 12 Games Forum

I've had several of them affect either my islands or one of my neighbors. Volcanoes, tornadoes, rogue waves, fires.  There are several; and it depends upon either the campaign mission you're on, or your settings on a continious play map.

Given the way chunkloading mechamics and hte like work; I wouldn't even consider trying to do anything with finite water systems.  You'd drain your area of the map dry over time, and then whenever new chunks are loaded there would be hendously massive lag as the new water levels try to balance themselves out.  It makes me shudder just thinking about it.

Its sounds like an enhnaced version of Fate/Hero/Courage/Willpower points that characters can 'spend' to gain automatic successes in their actions, or to ignore a detriment for a specific time, except on a grander scale.

Is there any sort of meta-gaming elements, or perhaps the chance to delve into strategy-types, as well as having RPG characters? Say, after discovering some lost ruins, the group decides to plant down their own city over the site to hide the fact they're digging for whatever lost knowledge they can, and perhaps even threaten the religions on a larger scale than just the personal?

Fate 'tis life.
Upon thee solumn throne.
'Til eternity claim you.

Lets see what you make of that. 

No, Alkhemia.  When a creator agrees to host a Kickstarter Campaign, they sign a contract saying that they can and WILL be held responsible for any rewards, offered goods/services, and products that are listed.  If he 'jumps ship' as it is, Kickstarter, Amazon, and those who put the money forward can legally take him to court over the breach of contract. 

But this is game developement, creating software from scratch can take months or even years, and can often take longer than what was originally thought.  If we start putting our own expectations onto such things, then we become no better than the multi-billion dollar game publishing companies everyone likes to bad-mouth.

All I say is: Give him time.  Its been less than three months.  If nothing comes out in another three, then start to worry.

There are always security concerns, regardless of what you're using. So long as a program connects to other computer systems outside of your local machine, there are always weaknesses, loopholes, and coding faults that allow anyone skilled or clever enough to work their way through them.  It doesn't mean its going to happen to you, or that its overly common on a large scale.

My personal experience is that if you're careful not to do something stupid, you should be just fine.
