The Astari are stealing my people hand over fist, yet, I hit their village with 3 meteros and I burned down all their trees, I covered it in swamp and I have killed everyone I could find. Their happiness is well below mine and yet I have lost a quarter of my people to them. This does not even make sense. I am getting quite close to nuking the lot of the world now.

It's a bug riddled depreciation mechanic designed to keep players logging in more often than they normally would. It's sad. It's shallow. And it's not interesting or meaningful in anyway other than enticing mobile users to spend more money. Imo, of course.

I like: Tactical/Strategical games.
Depth and complexity.
Meaningful choice & consequence in games.
Games with a lot of story and content.
I don't like: Shallow repetative gameplay.
Twitch reflex gameplay.
Generic repetative online play.
Abusive monetization models.

I suggest you learn from the chinese, the germans or even the romans.
You need to create some form of barrier between you and them that will make it so none shall pass.
I propose a swampline! Nay I propose THE swampline. And none shall pass!

Someone on the steam forums mentioned that if you restart voyages over and over again (enter and immediately exit) you eventually lure the entire Astari population out to taunt your followers. Smite and repeat.

Super effective cheese mechanic answer to a super cheesy mechanic.

I thought I had done that, but I guess I can give them some more.

Griffork: I'm back! Just saw the trailer of Masters of Albion and it's a godgame! Immediately thought of this forum and decided to visit. Aug 21, 2024 7:51:22 GMT

Griffork: I think I've sent you a discord friend request (if I've done it right) Ba'al! Aug 21, 2024 7:53:46 GMT

Griffork: Sorry for being away for so long. The job I had at the beginning of the year seems to be having a full-blown melt-down (and I got caught in it). I'm now at a new place but the new job has been a very hectic learning experience (yay for being on R&D!) Aug 21, 2024 7:55:26 GMT

hardly: Dammit you beat me I wanted to be first to come back just to remark that he’s at it again. Aug 21, 2024 10:08:21 GMT

hardly: Anyway, just wanted to say hi for old times sake. Damn Peter Molyneux. Aug 21, 2024 10:09:55 GMT

Lord Ba'al: lol\ Aug 21, 2024 17:32:20 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Hi hardly! Hi Griffork! Aug 21, 2024 17:32:42 GMT

Lord Ba'al: He is indeed at it again. I read a few lines from some article saying he took something from this game and something from that game and something from yet another game and put it all together. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:06 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Then it mentioned there was this big hand mouse cursor, and I was like, nah, this will be shit. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:25 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Initially it was promising though, as it mentioned he had "put the old band back together". Aug 21, 2024 17:35:05 GMT

Lord Ba'al: By the way, I closed the whole forum for posting, due to the fact that all that was being posted was spam, but if anyone wants to make a post, I'm happy to open it up again, even if that's maybe just temporarily. Aug 21, 2024 17:36:02 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Or... post in the spammer section, and I can always move it elsewhere
