Had another crash in the LP, and I had about enough of it. I'm assuming that's David Dunham, one of the original Devs.  I hope Six Ages fixes this poo poo.

Considering the deliberately heavy RNG nature of both what events you get and what the effect of each option within an event is, I'd be considerably more surprised if they did allow that. Not only from a technical perspective but also from a balance one. One reasonable way to avoid crashes in the first place, is to save at your convenience and manually quit and relaunch the game periodically. Almost any game will crash eventually if just left running forever - just that the better-coded ones tend to be able to go a lot longer. This won't help with a random out-of-the-blue crash but will certainly help with a you've-left-the-game-running-for-three-days-straight crash.

It's not like memory is an issue these days, is it? Surely there's no reason they couldn't just save a lot more data each time. It's just that KODP was released in 1998.

It's incredibly stupid to keep those restrictions when going back to PC, though. But I've already beaten that point to death. (Small noble pools. Sliding menus. Anything to do with the goddamned map. )

Yeah but I mean, wasn't it probably programmed that way specifically because it's a game from 1998, and not from 2015? I dunno I don't know that much about programming so I should probably just shut up.

Haifisch posted:Bear in mind the Steam version is ported from the Android version(which can technically work on something as small as a phone). They presumably had to be more cautious about saving huge amounts of data on more limited devices. I'm guessing that's also part of why there's no manual saving, only yearly autosaves and the autosave on quit. I feel like the small noble pool thing has to be an RNG problem and not a deliberate change in the port. I mean, it's definitely not a thing on iOS, and that's where the Android and new PC version came from. There's no gameplay reason to do it. The UI stuff, on the other hand, totally sounds like a mess. I can't play the Steam version myself, but don't need to—the iOS version works just fine.

For the Short game, you need to perform The Making of the Storm Tribe and one other Heroquest, create a tribe with a bunch of neighboring clans, get one of your nobles elected King of your tribe, and hold that position for ten years.

For the long game, do only heroquests your clan dies after you get elected king count? Or do you get credit for ones you've already done?

You have to do 7 more quests after you form a tribe, then be king in time to catch the endgame. An event will occur that will clue you in on the timeframe once you have done the quests.

You need to do both Orlanth's quest and one other in the ten years you hold the ring. That is, Orlanth and Aroka, not the Storm Tribe. You also need to be above certain thresholds for cows and goods and so forth, but I'm not sure what those are.

If you're an Elmal or Ernalda clan in the short game don't you have to do Elmal Guards the Stead or Ernalda Feeds the Tribe instead of Orlanth and Aroka?

Curiosity question: is it even theoretically possible to recover from an apocalypse event, or does the game just give you a moment to savor how doomed you are before going 'game over'?

I think the losses are percentage-based, so I guess if you had something ridiculous like 10,000 cows and population pre-apocalypse you might stand a chance, maybe?

I think that's a no. I had one apocalypse before Sacred Time and got to allocate my magic and talk them intp trying to soldier on, then the first thing that happene in the next year was another apocalypse, then it was definitely time to disband.

I think I managed to break my game in the Steam version, Kallyr was born to my tribe then I got her elected queen of my tribe age like 16, before she was killed on a raid thanks to RNG. Now my tribe has no king/queen and no events are popping for a new one while my game crashes each time I try to enter the magic tab, oops! I had over 4000 cows as well.

Ah, yes, it's not quite right because I was operating under before-the-tribe assumptions and also had never played the Short Game where the ten-year tribal king was the only goal. I've always played the Long Game, where you had to get seven heroquests, one of which must be your associated heroquest, as well as everything else necessary.

Just slap it on a Windows 98 VM and call it a day(and enjoy the fact that you can actually play it in a window now).

I now have my fun with this game by randomly generating all my clans by rolling dice for each generation choice then try to roleplay the result. Adds some spice to the game since you often get weird combinations. Like an Orlanth worshiping Peace clan that keeps thralls.

The android version might still be a little buggy. I have an undying Channa Arroy worshiper. For three years now, at the end of the dark season, right after the year roll over, a message pops up telling me she has died of old age. I go to reorganize the ring, and there she is, alive as ever, scowling at me. Is she a chaos cultist? Does she know Yelm's secrets so she can die and be reborn every winter? Is she good enough at healing that she can heal herself after she dies? I did the only reasonable thing you can do with that, I threw her into Chalana Arroy Heals the Scars. That went sort of alright, but she couldn't convince the Storm Bull to relent, and let him kill Ragnaglar. I'm sure there will be no consequences. Pretty great bug to be honest.

Bunch of SixAges info here: http://www.pockettactics.com/features/a-strange-whisper-six-ages-will-be-2016s-follow-up-to-the-classic-king-of-dragon-pass/ Late 2016...  quote:Six Ages will be broadly similar to King of Dragon Pass — from what Dunham’s told me, you can probably still expect to be leading a clan in Glorantha, taking advice from your selected ring of clan elders and juggling the political, economic, and military fortunes of your people through interactive “scenes”. Six Ages is “[n]ot necessarily a sequel in the usual sense, but taking a look at the parts of KoDP that worked well, and using them to make a new game that’s even better,” says Dunham Chevy Slyme fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Sep 11, 2015 |
