Wow, cool. I checked if my voice from acapella is available on the PC, since I realy like to use Will for gamebooks and the like on android. Now i can use him to play warsim with this voice as well. Realy great. Ah BTW: My suggestion with the mini stories before was not only meant for cults and the like, but for the whole game in certain situations or areas, or if you reached certain levels, you can do such things. That is, if a level up system is planed.

Ooh that's awesome Niklas, new voice sounds cool!

I understand, good ideas man

just a question, as I have seen this before Wastelander.

I read through the list of hero names added to the game in that huge update, and several were on there multiple times. Also, several of them were already in the game as I have specifically seen them before.

Is this intentional or is this something else. It doesn't bother me, just was wondering at this repetition here and there. that is actually quite common.

2020-04-29 12:47:52

Hey, So I actually manually searched for most of the suggestions and removed at least 100 of the players suggestions that were duplicates. There may have been some that slipped under the hood but if you know of any let me know and I can find and remove them.

Which ones were on there multiple times?

honestly, without looking, I couldn't say, it's more of a pattern I noticed and such things have gone on for a while. It's no big deal, just wanted to let you know it happens.

It isn't a big deal and it isn't something you really ought to be concerned about, just wanted to make you aware it happened.

2020-04-29 18:17:04

I gotta say that unfortunately it also seems like many of the negative sounding ones are positive in battlescore too.  I know it's a huge task to do those all, but I worry about balance.

2020-04-30 04:34:57

wow, what a huge update. Ah and even if i am late on here, happy birthday to you as well.

2020-04-30 11:15:39

@Bookrage, that's fair enough. I tried to test all of them and search for as many of the 1100 suggested prefixes as possible especially the ones that looked similar. I thought I found and removed duplicates but I can imagine a few got through. But if you do find any duplicates just let me know and I can remove them asap.

@Defender, If you have any in mind let me know!

@Niklas, Cheers Niklas smile

I thought it was me messing my save at first...but it seems to be possible to start the game without deleting old save and end up having no minor bandit gang. Not sure if it's a bug or not, and also not sure if it happens to clean game without save as well.

2020-04-30 13:48:53

there is a chanse taht you dont start with those
you can set all those at random game options

2020-04-30 16:04:28

Hey Mata, as Omer says the rebellon/bandits etc are all randomised in their size and situation and it's possible they don't exist. It should explain it at the start of the game but it's easily skippable so fair to miss.

Hello,

Just a question. When the minor bandit gangs are destroyed. Is there a chance more could show up. If not, bandits should be a constant thing and should be something that remains a constant annoyance if not a threat. I've gotten rid of both goblin kingdoms and pretty much all of the default starting foes as well as all the enemy bandit groups and I think the bandit groups at least should be replaced.

Loving the game still, just something I was thinking about.

2020-05-01 18:13:30 (edited by Niklas 2020-05-01 18:16:39)

I think that should be optional, so the user can choose if he wants the bandits as a constant thing or not.
BTW: a suggestion. It would be interesting to have more shops in the game later on, not just for books, but for other items such as weapons, if they come in or other items and technologies/inventions later on, a bit like in RPG's. Maybe you could be able to sell items and such as well.

Not sure if this is a bug or not but I'm gonna report it anyway. With the arena destroyed, you can still get money from the arena owner somehow.

2020-05-03 18:25:51

@Mata, From the Arena owner or from being the arena owner? cause how do you interact with the owner if you can't get in to the arena?

@Bookrage, Definitely something to look into Bookrage all good ideas

@Niklas, I like the idea of it being something you could pre-set, gonna think about the bandit gang situation.

I'm not sure about when you own it. But in the case of the arena being owned by someone and is destroyed (as seen in elder origin), you still get income from the ruined arena.
