@Dranelement, it's not a bug, it's a side effect of a special event that happens every 50 years smile so you must have had this happen to you in the year 150, 200, 250 ect, skip a year ahead and it should be fine

@Defender, kind of, but I have a list of over 2000 items to add to warsim, most player suggestions, plans for special staff, better diplomacy, new regions, gods, new races, magic systems, minor goblins and tons more that I try slowly to cut down, my biggest problem is so many good ideas get suggested and I think of new ones while playing, and before I know it, I release an update with 10 things from my to do list, but now there are 20 more on there.

I can see warsim being something I'll work on for years to come though, and hopefully as time goes on it will continue to evolve as it has already into a bigger experience than a simple kingdom management game.

And that last sentence has me pegged! great analysis haha

Wow, i tryed the latest version and am already addicted. But, I tryed to activate the sounds. I can hear the musicians sounds, but nothing else. Do I have to mute the music or what I am doing wrong? If I press 8 again, the game says slower, but I just want to enable them. With my suggestions, I meant magic items wich lets you see and play something wich would or could happen and some things wich already happened. Maybe as new events or such.

2017-10-22 11:37:27

@Niklas, glad your liking it, as for the sounds, once enabled in the main menu it should happen when you're in a battle? If not I'll test it out

@Niklas, looked into it more and it's a bug when loading a game! so you'll be credited for finding it, but a way to try it out right now would be through a new game instead of a loaded game

Okay, will try it. More variants  of reactions from the throne room visitors would be good as well. If I get visitors wich all want the same, the reaction to my actions is the same very often. So it would be great if there are more reactions for each action, so the texts get not repetitive so often. And I think in the mini games, little sound effects could be added as well for rolling dices, flipping coins and such as well. Sounds for the arena and the fighting pits could be interesting, too. In the arena, it would be a cool feeling especially with the crowds cheering and singing and such.

2017-10-22 13:10:57

Okay, i tryed the sound system and it works in principal, but the sounds seem to be cutted off each because they come way to fast, so they can't play out eachother. All I hear is a lot of stuttering because they cut off eachother. Hope you understand what I mean.

2017-10-22 23:11:47

A question regarding playing: So far I had completed all throne room encounters each turn, got a few men from them, have made a few raids, watched some fights in the arena and visited my library. I ever can explore one part of an area, but no other places. Ah and I upgraded my training ground into Barags. So, i think much of the game reveals with game progression, is this correct? I mean, discovering new books, exploring more places, meeting the historical guild etc. Or is that ever randomized at the start of a new game, so my actual game has limits in things to discover and so on? I ask because I am completely new. So is my idea right to simply progress further to unlock more of the content? Or am I missing something?

2017-10-23 10:59:56

@Niklas, the problem at the moment with the sound system is it can only play one sound at a time, and that includes theme music which is why it cuts off a resets the theme music, which is why I can't have random sound effects for different things at the moment and it would cut the songs off and annoy people.

The problem with the combat sound system is to pause between each sound too long would make the battles last way too long, the system doesn't work well so I made it an option thing as requested

I am in the process of looking at getting an external sound library system so I can run multiple sounds/songs at once, this will solve all sorts of issues and allow for lots more sound effects and things in the game.

As for your second question, I'm not sure I understand, you can't explore other places, what do you mean? you may have to explain further for me

sounds good regarding the Sound Systems, Keep up the great work. I mean that the game says for example 1 of 30 places explored, but it seems that I can't go further. Do I have to unlock the parts of an area or how does that work?

2017-10-23 15:45:03

BTW: I realy like the fights in the Arena, they are explained very good. Had some bandits in my throne room who wanted a truce with me and throw some of them into the dungeons. Haha, and ofcourse I'll break truces, cause I am a professional Bandit hater lol.

2017-10-23 19:44:43

Hmm, these throne room encounters and what all can happen there are amazing. Ever there is a new surprise. I had a visit from a whitch who wanted to curse me if I don't pay her. Wow, thought this chick makes a joke. Lesson learned, never fool around with chicks wich have magical abilities. Damn, crazy girls are those. *smile*

2017-10-24 08:55:27

If not already possible, it would be cool if you could give some items you get or found to your Units or equip them. That could be great as well for weapons if they come in, but also for magical fruits and such. Could be a way to get more influence in battles and such as well. Another Thing, possibly for throne room Encounters is, internal conflicts in your army. For example, a farmer wants to join because his Family has been killed by bandits. But you have a mixed army with bandits in it as well. That hasn't to be, but could lead to personal conflicts between the farmer and a Bandit, for example you have to solve.

2017-10-24 12:07:29

@Niklas, with exploration you have a limit of two chances to explore per turn, once used you have to wait until next turn, this can be solved by building an explorers guild which gives you bonus explore chances, by getting the golden telescope which gives you one extra explore chance, or by visiting the cartographers guild in the north where you can buy maps to everywhere

Glad you like the arena, definitely one of my favourite parts of the game too smile

Well currently there is an artifact called the staff of dumble, you can give it to any grand champion of the arena who has a name that contains the word 'Dumble' ie Dumbletweed, Dumblefwok, it gives them double stats.

Also I really like the conflict idea of people not wanting to work alongside bandits, you could have public opinion issues if your army consists of bandits, I like it a lot!

yeah, and the bandits are only an example, such conflicts could apear With other kinds of People or races as well. And what I like about throne room Encounters is that this part gives you a bit the Feeling of an virtual pet or similar things, because you have to care for your People. Just more reactions or more variants would be great, the texts get repetetive after a while with throne room Encounters wich happen more often.

2017-10-24 18:27:22

Okay, now I know how the exploration thing works. Cool. But I have to say something irritates me a bit. Even if assci is disabled, I hear sometimes a few signs above a text. That happens for example if someone has done a crime and I ask him to explain himself. What are those signs?

2017-10-25 10:16:22

Just a question: Is there something to do so the quests for the Knights come up or do they come up if Special Events are triggered? I now build my hall of orders and made my own Knight order and can give commands to them to attack someone or such, but as far as i understand, the quests are another seperate Thing for one Knight, so I thought I'd just ask.

2017-10-25 22:47:00 (edited by Niklas 2017-10-25 23:07:39)

And again a suggestion: It would be nice if you could arrange big or little Partys, with different fireworks you could arrange, Drinks, Food and entertainers and such to keep your people happy from time to time between all the hard work. You could even be part of the party and watch it, even the fireworks and such.
And locations wich even the cartographers guild doesn't know and for wich no maps exist would be fantastic, since that keeps exploring still interesting even if you could unlock so much with the maps.

2017-10-25 23:31:39

Oh, Niklas's bandit idea reminded me of this.
I think you should get a small hit to your diplomacy score when you spare the life of a citizen of that empire who came to you for refuge, and small bonuses for not.
One of those things I thought about every time it happened but always forgot.

2017-10-26 07:51:51

good idea, too.

2017-10-26 07:58:32

OK, i am sure this question is allready answered but i dont want to search the hole topic:
Will version 6.8.7 be the last version wich we can get more easy?

2017-10-26 08:30:35

What do you mean with more easy? It is the last free Version you can get but the Commercial Version you can even get with no difficulties for example from itc.io where I got my copy from as well.

2017-10-26 12:53:52

@Niklas, definitely, I can say with confidence there will be some internal conflict encounters now and you will get the credit for them, it was a fantastic idea

As for those rogue ascii signs, for the ascii free version of the game that shouldn't happen, I've found a fixed them, the bug I found occured 6 times, all of them have been fixed now so in the new update coming soon this wont happen, you will get credit for finding them too, but if you find anymore let me know!

At the moment quests are done by knights who are trying to prove themselves to get into your knightly order, this occurs in the throne room through encounters but will be implemented in other ways as well soon

I definitely plan for feasts and things in the future and as for exploration don't worry, filling empty exploration places is the focus of the 0.7.0.1 update which is nearing completion

@Defender, you get some extra relation if you return him to the kingdom but I agree, there should be similarly the chance of a penalty if you take them, I'll note this down

@Firefly82, as Niklas says it can be bought on itch and steam, I've heard steam is terrible for visually impared people so itch is apparently the place to go, the 0.6.8.7 is just the last free version

@Niklas, Oh yeah thank you, It's a long story but lots of stuff is going on at my end and your two donations definitely helped bring a smile during a time that I wasn't doing so good! so thank you! also I'm about to post the new update and you've helped fix three bugs too! so thanks for that as well!
