#1 Re: Main Forum » Why murdering? » 2018-03-31 08:45:28
There are a few posts about the balancing of murdering, but I wonder why we even have that at all?
I've been raving about this game since before I got it. And even more after I got it. It's just a wonderfully different game that makes me actually think differently about real world issues.
But then I read about the addition of murdering and my heart sank. And then, sure enough, I was murdered. The killer gained nothing. I gained nothing. I lost a lot--I had started projects in the village and just got to cooperate for the first time on breaking down a wall (not an easy task to coordinate three people!).
I bet one of the reasons is: There is murdering in real life. Sure. But it's actually exceedingly uncommon! We love to talk about it and it gets great coverage in media. But it really is rare! Dying or struggling with diseases is much more common. If we're going with realism, that should certainly come before.
With this addition, I feel like this game suddenly went from really unique to just another game. I stopped myself from giving it a negative review, but I don't think I'll be recommending it anymore. Especially not to non-"gamer" folks.
There are many more ways for griefers to ruin civs other than murder. Also please consider the time period of in game vs ours. The reason we don't see a lot of murder In real life is because we are far advanced and have law enforcement, individual houses, and safety protocols on weapons such as guns. In the game there is still only small community type civilizations, without possessions (other than clothes and backpacks) and most of them rely on simple farming and hunting techniques to get by. In tribal days of any civ, murder wasn't uncommon, especially in fighting for resources. If you're interested in the game but not in the 'murder' aspect I believe there are a few custom servers that have banned murder. you'd probably find them on the forums somewhere.

Adding a "me too". Any ETA on a fix? Can we get a bug analysis on the Github page (for the nerdy among us)?
I can post it there if you want. Where exactly do I post it, or can only Jason do that?

Yeah the same thing happens to me, makes the game unplayable. After being in the game for 2-3 minutes the game freezes then crashes. Hope this gets fixed soon.
