I do agree with those things and Ihaven't loged into the game for ages because I don't want to play the pvp. I have an account and I logged in once to play that new little game and I realize that logging infor that five minutes probably wasted a whole month of my account year, which certainly does blow.
I look on this thread at least five times a week to see if there is any news on the game. It is why I got an account in the first place soI could play it. The bugs in the single mode make it hard to keep playing it since there is only so far you can go.
I hope he has time to work on the game because I love it.
I will wait to log in now until I hear of an update to this game.
Thanks for all your hard work!

I personally would be rather more interested in the single player game than the online one too, at least to the extent that online always comes with pvp, though on the economic angle once some of said lowly peasants have sorted their production they should theoretically be able to drive prices down.

My main concern currently is that if your not on the online game, what is the direction of the game over all? I love the idea of tasks to perform as goals in the game like the castaways missions, and of being able to expand to the point of a hole huge empire, but the business of league tables and scoring more just isn't my thing, ---- although obviously there are people who enjoy it.

I will say one thing I really do miss in Castaways 2 are the worker personalities. People who got pregnant, had jobs and real lives and such, indeed I was hoping that this aspect of things would be expanded somehwat in Castaways 2 rather than the workers just being reduced to effectively units of how many tasks can get done at a time.

I'd actually love to see the workers be a little more like the ones in Pawprints, people with names and at least one like and one dislike which affect their happiness.

So for example "Jane, likes farming, dislikes mining", or "jo, likes fishing, dislikes wood chopping"

If a worker is happy, she/he does their job more efficiently, however if a worker is unhappy, the job gets done more slowly and if a worker gets too unhappy she/he will leave and go and find a job somewhere else (likely taking some resources with them).
(this also prompts the creation of items to increase happiness such as nice foods, decrative items, clothes to ware etc).

If two workers (probably though not necessarily of opposite gender), are happy, they will go off and create a child. The child will have the same likes and dislikes as their parents.

Once a chapple is built, people instead of getting randomly pregnant could get married. When two workers are married, firstly they're more likely to produce children, and secondly they can be assigned to jobs as a family. The family works basically like a huge worker with a like and a dislike that can get jobs done more efficiently, for example "the Jane family likes farming, dislikes building"
This makes it possible to create tasks with larger efficiency requirements, by having the option to use workers in families as well as individually, ---- after all it makes sence that parents pass on their skills to their children.

This could mean the game then could expand to producing much larger things, for example just one stone mason probably couldn't build a huge castle, but a family working together might, thus opening up much larger build opportunities, eg, plantations instead of fields to produce more food and seeds, fishing fleets instead of fishing boats, coal refigneries instead of smelteries to produce more coal and smelted metal etc.

Plus I have to say, I love the idea of watching my population stay happy and seeing what people like and don't like to do, declaring hollidays when everyone has cake and the like and seeing them expand and grow and thrive, not to mention Hapiness as a stat has some really fun possibilities once things like disasters are added back into the game, or even seasonal weather (maybe everyone gets more depressed in the winter?), :d.

hi.

loving this. I think more people should play. but is there a more detailed manual somewhere apart from the readme?

how comes there isn't more players playing?

also can you transfer knites between plots of land?

1 thing that's needed is the ability to plant trees. wood is not easy to come by.

Hi, I keep coming back here every day to see if there is any news on this fabulous game.
So, any idea, oh master of games, when we might see something happening here?
I understand it is a huge project, not rushing you but every day I come here and so if I might as well not, say, until November or something, can you tell us! Maybe hint about when it might have some sort of update?
Even if it is, )the best), changing the PVP on the server?

Laying flowers at your feet,

Wassup peeps!
Is there a way to make it so that when you cut an apple tree down that has no apples, it just becomes logs? I like the idea of an apple tree with apples becoming fire wood, keep that. Just make it so that when you have no apples it can become just plan old logs. Thanks in advance. Hope this isn't asking too much.

GF

yes but you can have an unlimited amount of firewood because of chopping down apple trees and it's easy to plant them.

yes I'd love to see this game expanded, more buildings more technology and maybe a persistent version that never resets. if we can have factories why not cannons seaports docks and other such things? warships? oh and better sound affects for building things etc.

well keep it on the first page then aprone can know the game still has attention.

True, if we bump it enough times maybe we'll see some updates.

So I downloaded the patch but have no idea how to put it in? I am thinking it might solve a couple of the bugs.
Anyone have an idea how to put the patch in?
Thanks,
A
