Great, i really like people who can save a whole nation from starving, and end an era that was called "The Great Depression".

You are a hero, just like Hitler himself, kind sir.


The only platform fascists deserve is one with a short set of stairs and a weighted blade at the end of it.

This shit is why revenge never works out, it's never proportionate and it never makes you feel better.

Coals do that, not fire.

Need a kiln for that, fire alone isn't enough.

Again, coals, or an hot oven where fire has expired.

Forge your tools?

Here, too, fire alone isn't enough, and you need a forge.

And if you're going to argue that fire is the necessary step for all of those, the source by which all those wonders are possible, I have just one word to say: kindling.

Exactly, the way in which we show our devotion to the Fire god that he does no abandon us and leave our coals as ashes, our forges and kilns as cold adobe mounds, feed his lust for kindling and firewood and he shall bestow all these wonders on you, neglect him and the coals of his love will turn to the cold ash of a dead civ and a starved nursery.

As far as I see you have simply proved my point, even in trying to speak against him the unbelievers strengthen the truth of the ONE TRUE FIRE GOD!!!

I tried to grief, spent four lifetimes and managed to kill ONE baby, but every time I came back after being axed by town guards everyone claimed I'd kill several people, I think people tend to attribute any death within 5 minutes or so of seeing a griefer with a knife to that griefer

I'm pretty sure Jason is trying to program migration into the meta, the reason everything will run out eventually is because society isn't advanced enough to sustain a stationary civ for more than a hundred generations or so.

Only the one true god can do these things for you!

Pretty sure the meta should be that you pie it the hell up and then send family groups with carts of pies and tools in all directions every few generations.

Your Fire is weak, it dies every minute, it can't stay alive properly like the CRAPtus god! You have to help the Fire so he won't die out!
Your puny Fire God is nothing!

Edited for spelling and grammar




FOOL!!! The Fire God shows his grace only to those who are strong, who can gather the wood and tools to feed his unending hunger, if the Fire God abandons your tribe it is because you have grown WEAK and lost your focus and will as a tribe! You must show repentance by enacting the ancient ritual of the leaf and the embershaft to show your contrition and ONLY THEN will he return to you with his strength!

I don't know why people are still complaining, I spend 3 lives trying to murder someone in a village, I killed one baby and then got murdered with a bow due to slow down, griefers who wipe out whole villages are only getting away with it because your shit is weak.

Same, I keep dying as soon as I become a child because feeding myself is a non-stop job with how many bounces it takes to pick up food and then get the game to realize I ate it.

#15 Re: Main Forum » im poor and REALLY want this game » 2018-04-07 20:29:07

I have considered setting up a "poor mans server" for people who can't buy a game key but who want to play, technically it's totally legit to do so due to the whole "no copyright" set up of the game, you are paying for server access to the main servers, not the game files.

The thing is i have no knowledge of what that takes...

I was born into a nameless line as Jade, daughter to an old woman in a tribe were the king spent most of his time off hunting rabbits to the south, I spent my childhood replenishing the ponds closer to the village by carrying bowls of water from ponds further north.I noticed our farm was large and our stockpiles high, so I told mother we should eat into our stockpile while I prepared the farm for a population boom, while we ate into our food stores I gathers soil and expanded our large farm into an enormous one, over 20 plots in all! I grew to be the farmer in our village as a young woman, a duty that meant not only watering crops, but gathering the people for harvest and judging when food was needed and when we should eat into our stockpiles, carefully ensuring that no soil plots were lost to seed. I had a son named Onyx and a daughter named Ruby, both of whom survived to adulthood, Ruby gave birth to my grandson Diamond, who inherited my title as Village Farmer. my mother came up with our three laws, and I added the fourth;

1. Never let carrots go to seed
2. Never drain the ponds
3. Everyone pitches in during harvest(our farm was huge)
4. No one waters seed unless the farmer says so (this allowed our huge farm to feed a smaller population while only using wild carrot seeds gathered during the hearty years)

Overall I feel like this life I made a big difference and really help pull the village together to survive!

Not one person has come even close to saying any of that but nice way to shut down any concerns people have with that hyperbole.

Actually I've been seeing people saying exactly this shit since the moment the update went live, the saltiness is enough to salt every plot on every server it's kind of impressive.

I loved it, played a lot.
I just can't see myself investing hours on building civilization, if it is to be wiped out in a jif, not because of some engine rewrites or something like that, but because the creator has a f*cked up vision about what this is game is supposed to be, pissing off everyone to solve a problem that wasn't really a problem, without even asking for input from the comunity.

No, if you use berries to feed sheep you deserve the civ collapse that will cause, you need EVERY BERRY ON THAT BUSH to make compost, pick one and it's done son.

Berries are not for food, they are for compost, they are actually so precious that by all rights they should be somewhere away from the main town so noobs don't eat them and griefers don't find them, STOP PLANTING THEM NEXT TO THE CARROTS!!!

When a man grabs me and takes me outside my civ I assume the worst. Griefers love to take babies and dump them out in the woods to die. Have you ever tried asking for some help?

Yes, and sometimes I get volunteers, but I've actually found you have a better chance of no one starving or getting lost if you grab a loan baby and carry them instead of asking people to follow, so ironically kidnapping tends to be the more viable option assuming every baby you snatch doesn't die of starvation trying to escape you.

That was me, yes! Looks like he just took my hood and did his own thing though, it seems my quest ended with me, I am shamed!

Have you found Utopia yet? I go there regularly. Expanded the Yellow Brick Road up past Zatris and to Ovenpost, East of Zatris. If we could expand the road directly north of Ovenpost, it'd reach Woolville, connecting the old cities and the new.

Haven't had the chance to search again, my tribe is moving locations IRL the past few days, that was a brief window when I was able to play. I have a new quest though, and now I know were to go, it seems I spent last life going the wrong direction.

I have not once been killed for being born as a boy, the very idea is asinine enough that I feel like this is a very annoying minority of settlements that some people just get born into over and over again by bad luck.

It happens now and then that a civ runs out of females, I've had to kidnap an heir or two in my time playing, and it seems there is a common issue that is encountered.


IF YOU ARE KIDNAPPED DON'T RUN AWAY!
MEN CAN FEED BABYS BUT IT REQUIRES CLICKING ON YOU WITH FOOD IN HAND AND IF YOU RUN YOU WILL STARVE!!!

So, to put it  a bit more calmly, relax, enjoy the ride and make sure you say "F" if you need food so you can be set down and fed. Do not try to run home (you are a baby and will starve before you get there most likely), and do not give yourself up for dead just because you are being carried by someone who cannot breast feed.

This has been a Public Service Announcement from The Council for the Restoration of Dead Civs.
