One Hour One Life Forums

TBF, you could also have settled on a grass/swamp before the update, and be better off even then (neutral was hotter).  So it's only easy to find a spot cause they all suck.

Edit: Although, I don't think this is actually the case anyways.  Previously, minimum # ponds was somehwere in the 2-4 range, minimum # branching trees at 20.  You find a swamp/grassland, you settle.  Now it's more like in the 5-15 range, and 40-100 branching trees.

Let's just ignore Rage for now please.

Nah, mostly only betame loves the update, he just posts a lot   I think a lot of players agree with the concept, like myself, just not necessarily the tuning of it.

Okay wow, so, in established cities. I would highly recommend abandoning all females.  Do this by working "as a male", and abandoning the girls in the wild.  Overpopulation is simply not an issue due to the extreme fertility boost of mild temperature.  It is utter chaos, and there is nowhere near a shortage of females.

Re: berries vs other things.  It's hard to say.  I don't really think speed is important:  just delay birthing for a while.  Since eveing is harder, it's best to get a handle on things earlier and risk "girl death".  My last succesful eve I did not birth until I had a stone hoe farming and fire with kindling buffer.

What is important is efficiency, though.  Berries are good for hoe efficiency, but water efficiency is also probably something to worry about given the absurd early game food requirements.  I really don't know what to recommend but I would not recommend this "carrot meta" people are trying to start, since good luck getting the milkweed for all the stone hoes you'll need.

TBF: jason's right.  The game probably is not harder. Frontloading civilization difficulty will mean more babies in bigger towns when they do pop up.  There will probably only be one major town at a time, though.

My thoughts would be you could go as low as three curses.  But you'd have to have a corresponding reduction in donkeytown time served.  Right now it's a total crapshoot.  You need to discord pile people into cursing someone or just get extremely lucky.  However, if potentially innocent people are getting sent to donkey town it should be trivial, not potentially 5 hours. 

While we're at it, the lifetime curse level is not so great.  It punishes people who play the game more pretty much exclusively.  Regularly trollers will probably get bored and move on.  I'd abolish it for a flat half hour first time, 1 hour from there on IMO

The vast majority of players care more about cities than family lines.  And pioneering for various reasons helps kill it off in the long run.

It's safe, I got the warning too and ignored it.  Your computer is just warning you that you're downloading something not from a "known" publisher, which is usually bad if it's not a mod or indie software or something.  This is a mod xD.  Maybe it's being extra paranoid because this is a mod for a multiplayer game so it's doing network connections.  I'm sure theoretically awbz could do some nasty stuff if he wanted like send your email and OHOL key unencrypted to a separate site and steal it   That's just the risk you run with mods.

Rubber banding in multiplayer games isn't a client issue, it's bad internet connection or something.  Your client says "I'm moving or doing somethng here!" and the server is saying "actually the last move I got from you was five seconds ago, so we're updating you to where you really are".  I would not even report this unless you talk with people in game and everyone is saying they're getting lag.

FPS is a different matter, though.

tl;dr

For fertility:  Jungle slightly worse, everything else slightly better, even desert which was already good.

For food: desert much better, everything else nearly no change.

Eh, step one happens like all the time, though.
