Lost Age OCC Discussion Thread [Former Ceaden Thread]

[Ceaden]

Its mostly due to the location you chose. The others chose locations with lots of coastline, the more coastline (water) you have the more population you have.

*New Map*

I've come up with 200 miles of coastline with your new claim.

[Paddy O Fernature]

Noone can start with more than 8,somethingk. Realistically. I still think we could get you 2,500x1,5 due to coastline. Your problem is the last of water. I think the desert people is right now as low as yours, for the same reason.

Well the way he changed his map gives him allot more coastline and allot more population.

Would you mind walking me through the calculations again? Really hoping that I get the hang of this soon. Also, updating my map with icons right now.

Will be posting soon.

Coastline, and thus basic economics. Working on roads atm and should have my new map up shortly.

This is a work in progress and I am wondering if I am on the right track here with the units and could use a little help in figuring out the two magic units I have and how I can pimp out my heros better. Also I am currently thinking of introducing a new mount that is called the behemoth but that will be after I get all this mess sorted.

Also I am only going to have a total force of 675 men in the army and was wondering if that was an adequate force for a population of 11250.

This is what I have so far. I have not posted names on it because with names, it is Extremely cluttered and looks bad. I will however post names and a short description of each in my factbook for everyone to see if they want/need too.

[Durmatagno]

This is a work in progress and I am wondering if I am on the right track here with the units and could use a little help in figuring out the two magic units I have and how I can pimp out my heros better. Also I am currently thinking of introducing a new mount that is called the behemoth but that will be after I get all this mess sorted.

Just curious, what program/how are you all able to figure out the exact amount of measurements for things such as coastlines? Just tried to draw a rough square around it in MSP and just got my ass kicked.

I think once I get my population set, I can start to calculate my GDP, PPC, and Tax Rate.

Paint.NET can measure the size of selected region by its magic wand. It can also gives you the length of line with its line-drawing tool. I think they should give you a rough estimation of those things.

Wait... um... what do I download from that site? It looks like a redirect.....?

Nvm.. got it working. Though It did set off my virus scanner. >_<

So here is my current factbook and it is a bit of a work in progress in regards to some areas but for the most part it is complete.

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=161635

Which calculations?

Coastline, and thus basic economics. Working on roads atm and should have my new map up shortly.

You have 200 miles of coastline, the economics is based off of terrain features and what improvements you have added.

This is a work in progress and I am wondering if I am on the right track here with the units and could use a little help in figuring out the two magic units I have and how I can pimp out my heros better.

From what I can see it looks fine. Giving your heros mounts would be the best thing to do.

[Marzarbul]

If you could please explain the whole MAG thing along with cost and value because for the regular troops their cost and value are the same for every one and I think that is wrong. But yeah I am working on creating a mount called a Behemoth and using generic horses.

[Paddy O Fernature]

Coastline, and thus basic economics. Working on roads atm and should have my new map up shortly.

You have 200 miles of coastline, the economics is based off of terrain features and what improvements you have added.

Would you mind explaining how you came up with this calculation? Cause using paint.net, I came up with around 900 Pixels of coastline in my new map. Thus, am completely lost how this crosses over....

[Durmatagno]

I should actually have more coastline than he says, but go with the flow.

That is fine and dandy, but doesn't help me in the least as I am trying to understand how the game engine works. Which in the long run equals me asking less and less questions.

He does the meausernments, using the scale he had I got like 2000 miles, counting the lakes, I got like 200

You really are not helping, at all.

Lets see, the square miles represents the amount land of that type that you have, and thus the amount easily obtainable resources coming from that land. The water has a similer effect, making it easier for the population to grow thanks to the resources from the sea.

This I know, and lets ask my question again...

How do you make/convert a measurement? Paint.Net gives me pixles or Inches. What is the conversion?

I think on the map, each pixel is 1 mile/sq. mi, depending what you're measuring.

Commercial time: My intro is almost done, this update I showcased a more bloody and sexual plot, so I hope it would be more enjoyable, if the bloodthirsty mainstream channels are any indication.

Ok, so in that case, using the wand tool on paint.net... I came up with around 900 Pixels as I traced my Ocean border. Maybe I did it wrong?

Depends on the screen, and how you may have changed the map, so I just go with ceadens stuff
