Upkeep is soldier salary, which is set with other salaries (i.e., call your Secretary).

jesus I've taken up gaming as a hobby because I hate interacting with people and now this, simulated conference calls XD

is there a way to know if I'm having too few or too many military units? what do you all do? just recruit to cap? I didn't see upkeeps mentioned anywhere in the ux

I found a 30% discount code and I've soo many questions.

but first: is there a proper way to exit? I've had to alt+f4 out of it and idk if that saved anything
Where did you find it?

I missed the official discount and I remember I got an email "you've been there 6 years here a small gift" and lo and behold it was a coupon, I lucked out.

looked like this, if you have an account maybe you have something floating around without even realizing like I had

edit: checking out I got mails from 4 and 5 years too. dunno what's inside or if the coupon are transferable, hit me up in pms if you feel adventurous and want to give it a chance. no guarantees!

27m tall trench rats, though.

dunno a 3m rat seems more scary, a human will barely register interest in a colossal creature while a 3m rat can decide to attack because it feels threatened and can fit in any place you might find shelter against a larger creature

it's quite repetitive and the lack of an operations layer annoying at best but often just infuriating

yeah it was just to see how it'd worked, I wanted to get some fat gun fasts and wanted to see if I could go this way

in the end I just did a cl feint and a dd torpedo rush to clean up the british bb and that was it. early years are mad especially if varied tech hit guns.

a while ago you meantioned weather and ecosystem, do rain refill lakes? does rain come from somewhere? say, humidity raises from trees/ocean and condenses into cloud, or is it just generated randomly?

very interesting. I always loved the depth of wargames and always hated how they presented you a strategic setup you had no hands in making and just forces you to deal with it.

is there a whole genre of these or is this more of a unique thing?

the fact is most wars are conquest wars because vassal/tribute requirements are so high to be pointless. in turn, a conquest war only lead to annihilation.

if claims influence were higher and tribute easier, you'd get a lot more 'modern war' were you contest strength and where a surrender makes sense. but that would make assimilator/purifiers and the whole lot of empires that can capture without claim completely op and they would need a rework as well.

but in the context of planetary claims, yeah, doesn't make sense how war works to begin with, so no amount of logic can be applied to surrender conditions.

 I have my nose stuck  into code I don't realise how unconnected the gameplay is looking in my project from an exterior POV.


tbh you should be focused on promotion during fundraising events. it's easy to approach kickstarter with an idea one loves and just expect likely minded people to just resonate with it, especially if one own background is mainly programming, and it's hard to multitask as highly focused individuals like developers are. not going to say you should need to retreat and regroup to push a better kickstarter later, but you should be like working on getting this thing out 24/7, and youtube has 4 videos, with a reach of a few hundreds people.

to put it buntly: even if everyone you reached would back the project, you'd be reaching about halfway the goal.

the math is just not in your favor here, *irregardless* of the actual game quality.

I would kickstart, but I am burned from "That which sleeps" : (
At least this one can show gameplay that doesn't look faked, but yeah I'm leery of kickstarter these days too. Still going to keep my eye on this.

yeah kickstarter without a demo are on the high risk list for everyone

I'm pondering to make an exception for this one, but so far we've seen zero gameplay, only stuff being created in god mode, so it's super hard to have a sense of what the game is about, how the game loop plays, what a city actually do beyond being there and having its pixel simulated.
