Strange, wolves are always among the first species conquered, cats with their pounce and slimes are the most dangerous. Imps are an easy ride as a player with their pack stomach perk but slimes can just engulf any and everything on early games

The race traits aren't very big on balance. Though if slimes are op it might have something to do with an insanely high base stomach of 20. allowing even low levels to get 2 people stomached is really strong. as it lets more enemy fighters get taken out of the fight if not killed outright more easily. and requires less investment to keep a high capacity. But last time i bothered to run tests slimes were weak due to getting gulped really easily, so maybe a balance change happened between then and now. I don't play with them pretty much ever as i really hate the concept of liquid creatures.

Personally, I find the slimes and the foxes to be the 2 most powerful races in the meta now.

The foxes are simply hard to hit (I suspect the shown hit chance doesn't reflect that), and that only increases with damage. The ration of superiority over baseline is such that you need a level 2-3 army to consistently defeat a level 1 fox army.

The slimes have effectively twice the hp as other races. This makes them hard to defeat if your race isn't particularly good at eating others (why yes I tried a game as bunnies and appeared next to both, funny that...).

In comparison wolves aren't that bad.

Also I have been thinking in more suggestions for our dear overworked OP. Could you make the advanced weapons more costly? Like, costlier than 2 fully armed but not armored units? As it is using them first is a no-brainer, thus making the regular weapons part of the defeat spiral if it comes to that.

Another 2 ideas I've had are teachers and smiths. Having a town with a smith would make weapons cheaper, while a teacher could be any unit picked for the task. A teacher having traits would increase the odds of troops from that town acquiring those traits, the higher the level of the teacher the better. And a teacher could even help inproving the xp gains in training.

However, the only way to see how the game play is though a youtuber named jonny ost and they can't show some things,( aka tits and cocks) due to youtube's rules. I was wondering if you could make this a boswer game if possible since the only computer I have is a laptop computer which can't run some programs due to limitations of the computer.

I can look into it to see if it is at all feasible, but I want to ask, the reason you can't run applications is due to some sort of software lock? Does it still let you play unity based web games?

Manchura wrote:why not have species traits that all of a species have, and then random traits that spawn with individual units, for example:
slime has gelatinous body as a species trait, but you but a unit and it has a random trait of nimble, which increases dodge chance and movement speed
or such a concept, so it does not feel like certain traits are far better then other and can screw over you or overpower your forces by having

That's basically what I've got planned. The current race traits will still be there, but there's a pool of random traits that it picks from when you recruit a unit.

Yes, they are currently overpowered, I'm going to be doing some balancing in the next patch to try and make things a little more fair.

Do you mean actually loading the game or how to play? The tutorial covers a lot of the basic movement and actions.

They will improve with time. The Lamia have even more base stomach capacity at 25. Slimes trade off for being able to eat more is that they are also vulnerable to being eaten, and take up comparatively little space, but their damage resistance will be reduced in the next patch, and that's a large part of their current power. It's also tricky because their abilities are such that in a low level battle, they are quite strong, but they get weaker in comparison at higher levels.

I did build a tool to help with balance, so we'll see how that goes. The chance you see to hit is the chance to hit, they are both taken from the same formula. Well, if you have randomized starting positions turned off, the bunnies will always be near to both the foxes and the slimes because it goes around in race order :gulp:.
Yeah, I'm trying to decide the best way to deal with the equipment. There have been suggestions to make them on par with each other but different, like the light weapons have better accuracy, but the heavy weapons have better damage. There's also the option of having the advanced weapons require some sort of tech requirement like a blacksmith, or maybe you can only manufacture a few per turn. The teacher could be an interesting system.

On the weapons and equipment front I'd quite like buttons to limit weapon types for certain races when making a strategic game, like the vore toggle button except one for bows and one for melee weapons. That way you could make certain races archers or melee specialists, or block both weapon types and have them a vore based race.

I also like the idea of a blacksmith or some other perk needed for advanced weapons, as it feels like the AI constantly have advanced weapons on all the time. And it'd be awesome to have them be light and heavy versions instead of basic and advanced, with the accuracy and damage focus too.

Is there any ability to shrink prey before eating them, or if not will there be plans for something like that in the future?

It'd be kinda cool if-using the map editor-if we could designate what areas monsters can spawn, so like we could create wyvern valleys, or shark islands, or just plain safe zones where monsters will never spawn(but could still enter and chase you into if they're after you).

You don't need a program, you can just run it after unpacking the .zip file.
The game is a .exe file so just double-click it and it will run.

That's the same idea for my Scenario mode idea! :-D
SilhouettiShine wrote:And speaking of Unit stat editor, i was thinking of an idea of like a Scenario mode, where you can use your pre-made map or making a map from the get go, and you can place anything in that said Scenario mode like Unit creation, Stat editor, Village customization, and so many more. However, compared to Strategic and Pure Tactical, you can't edit the Empire settings and the game settings, while the game is playing. But don't worry, it won't overwrite the settings for your own game world for Strategic and Pure Tactical.

Mmh. I have been thinking about it but the way the walls work currently makes it worthless to really build. If walls made the enemy unable to get past unless they can punch through with siege equipment it would add some longevity to the games and prevent easy capture because you didn't have enough gold to fill each town with sufficient garrison.

There are plans to make walls and other obstacles matter more, especially concerning ranged attacks.

In meantime, more previews.

In preparation of the upcoming races, I've expanded my map.
https://mega.nz/#!14VihYyZ!CkeOGQBV1Khc ... jAEBLbqMAM
Turbo7.PNG

There are two more areas for 2 more members of the alliance, as well as 2 more regions to the south. I also opening up the forest valley separating the alliance and the rest of the races. I also put desert and volcanic under some of the race's villages.

Oh yeah, I also gave the other races a LOT more villages.

Cute!


Also, in my pure tactical game that's slimes v slimes, the save(it's in the quicksave slot btw) says the attackers as slimes, but the defenders as dogs.

So I turned on the option for Herms to be able to Unbirth as well as use the other vore types, and it seems that all Males can Unbirth now too! XD

So, I will be updating balance somewhat in the next patch. Currently slimes absolutely dominate everything in level 1 matches, and foxes absolutely dominate everything in level 20 matches. I recently completed abatch testing tool which runs a large number of pure tactical battles. Over an equal number of matchups against all the other races slimes win 94% of their matches at level 1 (they won 490 out of 520 matches). In level 20 matches, foxes win 98% of their battles. So, the gelatinous body, and the thrill seeker trait are both being lowered in effectiveness to prevent those races from being completely dominant.

Blocking weapons would extremely hamstring a race, but I'll see about adding that at some point.
Well, if you are playing against the advanced AI, they will only ever buy the heavy weapons. That's a symptom of the problem that they need some sort of reworking.

That actually might work fairly well. It might be kind of tedious to actually paint out areas, so I might just have spawners that you can place, and when it tries to spawn it will drop monsters in a 5x5 area around a random spawner of their type if it exists.

There's the occasional situation that they are slightly useful, but yeah it's not a lot. I'm probably going to have some sort of way to improve that soon.

That feels like the kind of map that would take something like 20 hours to complete.
