The Last Colonies - Sci-fi TBS/RP - OOC / Always Open

[Harkback Union]

Say, on a scale 0 to 10, how much you guys like this game so far?
Also, would you be interested in taking part in a potential 2nd round, after this one ends?

[Auricium]

I would! 8/10. The mechanics need to be finished.

Are the tier 6 techs kept intentionally ambiguous?

Probably 8/10
To copy Auricium, the mechanics were too unfinished/had to be re-balanced enough that it threw off my plans (but that is more of a personal problem).

And sure, I'll be interested in a second round.

[Harkback Union]

Yes, I'll reveal ??? after you get the tier 5 techs that unlock them.

I'll be sure to have the rules finished by round 2, there would also be some simplification of health and happiness mechanics to preserve everyone's sanity.

[G-Tech Corporation]

I'd go 9/10. Best Mechanics RP I've played in probably two years. My only sticking points are finished mechanics and IC fluff, but that's more a matter for my fellow participants, not you Hark. I enjoy seeing into other civs

Another thing I plan to do in the next installment is to double BP yields while extending lengths of economic turns to 6 months (or possibly 1 year). Units could move every 3 months but stuff would only get produced every 6 months. This halves the amount of time you need to spend writing reports about your economy. During the odd combat turns, Energy-needy units could draw from the surplus of last turn (if you don't already have the tech to store energy). Also, all units would use half as much energy and petrol to do everything.

What do you guys think?

Hmm, I like the unit ideas, since currently having a military is prohibitively expensive. I'll have to think more on your snap propositions.

[Harkback Union]

My goal was not to cut back army expensiveness but to decrease computation needed to run the economy while avoiding dumbing down the game. According to my calculations, relative cost of armies would not go down after the changes get implemented. Energy and petrol would be worth 6 months of production instead of 3 months, hence the halving. Since BP got doubled, 1 BP (or its supply equivalent) still represents 3 months of production and so there is no need to make cuts there.
Wealth and RP however would be worth twice as much.

Hear hear.

[G-Tech Corporation]

So Hark, now that I've gotten my hands on Mechatronics, are you enlightening us as to how walkers work?

[Auricium]

Hey gtech. Want to trade megastructures for mechatronics?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hey gtech. Want to trade megastructures for mechatronics?

Hmm, maybe. Probably not one to one though; the outcomes of Megastructures are military-focused, which I don't really see a need for in the present, and it's a dead end on the tech tree.

[Harkback Union]

They burn petrol to move but can quickly cross difficult terrain.

So terrain without roads is treated as such?

[Harkback Union]

Yeah, Difficult terrain reduces speed of non-walker land vehicles.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Ah, marvelous.

Also, heads up folks; I'll be traveling basically all day today, but when I get home tomorrow things will get very interesting ICly.

[The Burning Sun]

Ah, marvelous.

Also, heads up folks; I'll be traveling basically all day today, but when I get home tomorrow things will get very interesting ICly.

So, should we wait on Year 20?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Mhm. I'll put up some interesting events in about an hour, then go ahead. The new OOC and whatnot will follow.

[Auricium]

Oi. I already posted on year 20 earlier. DOes this mean I change?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Nah, though you will want to respond to the event.

[Auricium]

Oh okay. ^_^

[G-Tech Corporation]

Lel. Utopia Project OP, plz nerf.

[Harkback Union]

Hmmm... +30 Happiness? Did I really approve of that?
How much did it cost?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hmmm... +30 Happiness? Did I really approve of that?
How much did it cost?

4 BP, 8 Wealth, and 4 RP. Basically as much as a tier 1 tech and running a Distribution Center for two Years.

Er... That's OP all right. I must have been drunk when I approved of that... If I approved of that.
