Suits when?

Good idea.

Tbh, it would explain all the dying from starvation.

I often make 6-9, but given that I was already 30 and had no kids, I stopped working and sat at the fire to try and get kids. Eventually got two daughters, which managed to continue the line, which is still alive. The point of the picture was however the player distribution: as you can see Eis has 32 players, i.e. over half the entire server population, while Eve camps or early towns are left with only a few players, or in my case none besides me, even when over 30 minutes in, i.e. with half my fertile life already gone. Clearly this kind of spawn distribution is a problem.

No.

Ohh, didn't know that. A bit strange it works that way. Anyway, thanks.

Implementing QoL features seen in mods like Hetuw, such as zoom and hotkeys, to greatly prolong the lifespan of the game and increase stable player count by allowing new players to enjoy the game long enough to get good at it, rather than quit only after a few hours of play, as has been the trend with most players thus far.

Spring update, maps, homogenous tribes, all good stuff IMO. Oh and despite being the pig-headed developer that he is, he finally caved in to having a sale since the player numbers were dropping to below 50 at peak, sometimes below 20 at low hours, which is the only way to somewhat sustain the game since it bleeds players like crazy.

EDIT: Oil sources getting exhausted and engines for iron mines, though currently both of these are largely meaningless as you can always find more. I also like the follower update, though he probably should've done a bit more with it; it's too optional and RP-oriented right now. Ideally experienced players would be chosen/offered the option to be town leader, and then everyone within X radius would automatically follow them (though you could unfollow, if you so chose), or something along those lines. Could bring some order to chaos, particularly in developing towns, i.e. actually putting noobs to work. Would have to be executed in a way that doesn't get exploited by trolls though.

Still noob paradise; experienced players basically have to do all the work, same as always. If Jason admitted not having zoom or hotkeys in the base game is a terrible idea, and actually added them to vanilla, the average player might stay long enough to actually get good at the game, and not quit before they even reach the 50h mark, as is the case now.

Also getting to Eve is extremely rare and luck-based now, which is a major bummer for an Eve player like me, which in turn means I get even less out of the game than before.

Some of the changes in the past few months have been interesting, but none of them have fixed OHOL from haemorrhaging players, which is the single biggest problem the game has.

The game has a lot of noob traps; unbalanced features that show a glaring lack of QA testing for balance by the developer. Three-piece soil piles being tillable is one of them, stone hoes are another, to name a couple.

My theory is that it's both the art style and the simple (on the surface) nature of the game. In that sense the game reminds me a bit of something like Habbo Hotel, even though the design philosophies are totally different. Probably a healthy dose of RP being a major attraction for kids too, now that I think about it.

The old and now again current spawn algorithm wasn't anywhere as bad on Eve players when you could actually choose to Eve (albeit the choosing process too was flawed, especially post-tool slots), even if your dynasty had a 90% chance of dying within a few hours, since you could get several tries to get a family that doesn't just immediately die off. Now even as a daily player, you'll be lucky to get in a few Eve runs in a month, particularly if you can't play during high-pop hours (US evenings), while still maintaining that 90% failure rate. Something about it needs to change.
