Palleon posted:I am really happy to see that changelog, especially in regard to diplomacy. I'd kind of like to see trust in the 60-75 range decrease the odds of rivaling even if it's not eliminated since getting trust up that high takes so long (unless it already works that way), but a really needed and appreciated change. Any trust above 50 already reduces chance of rivaling.

RNWs do not lack for provinces. People just think they do because the landmasses are more spread out than original new world, but original new world is just as much water. That said, yes we need more large continents.

Internal stability as limiter does not work, really. If it's effective enough to be a serious limiter for an experienced player, players will utterly despise it and complain until it's neutered. External limiters and time based penalties work much, much better.

50 year slower spread for Africa only applies to an inferior that hasn't had any contact with Europe, coastal states will get spread long before that.

MagnumOpus posted:Can you elaborate on this? I'm very interested in this from a game design POV. What makes the one disturb experienced players while the other is okay? The gist of it is how players perceive agency and consequense. The player views their country as an extension of themselves, so if something is wrong with that 'self', it is considered unfair unless the player did something to 'deserve' it. Gloriously conquering all their neighbours and getting massive unrest at home as a result is thus perceived highly negatively, as though the game is telling them that they're wrong for winning. External limiters, on the other hand, are viewed very differently. The player doesn't have to have screwed up to be invaded and conquered by an AI, because the AI is viewed as having its own agency and motives outside of the player's choices. Time limiters, while often muttered about, are viewed as simply part of the great impartial game rules - so long as everyone has to play by them, they're at least tolerable. None of these are hard rules mind you: There are people who are OK with internal punishments for success and others who don't think the AI should be allowed to pick on them unless they've done something to deserve it.

Odobenidae posted:Yeah I'm sure the AI (and especially the Ottomans, being a lucky nation) has some sort of hidden diplomatic advantage with these sort of things. The good news is that they can't integrate them unless they get within coring distance, just make sure that they don't reach the caspian sea. No, they do not.

PittTheElder posted:You can also use loans to prevent AI allies from starting wars where they're banking on you doing the heavy lifting. They use the same logic that applies to AIs to estimate if you'll answer the call to arms, so if you just sit on 4-5 loans indefinitely, they will never call you into offensive wars. Nah, AI uses different logic for players on CTAs and loans for this very reason.

PittTheElder posted:For Serial? I mean I know it's anecdotal, but I could swear that the AI will only call you if you don't have loans. Does the AI actually play by the rules that apply to the player, where favor must be accumulated? The AI uses a set of secret rules to determine if the player is just taking out loans on a lark or is actually in trouble. They will remain secret for the above mentioned reason.

It works, and thus far we haven't come up with something better to replace it with, but when we do its days are numbered.

Koramei posted:My worry about something like that is that the game already runs like rear end, especially as you go on. Any new and incredibly complex system like that is just gonna make it worse. Our performance tests (on a bunch of different hardware) shows same speeds or better than pre-AOW and we optimize almost every patch, what exactly are you running the game on?

). It's alright for the first couple of hundred years, but after the mid 17th century things start chugging like crazy whenever there's a month transition, to the point that I've scarcely even seen the late-game content 'cause I just get fed up and stop playing. I didn't think I was unique in this either, I've seen a lot of other people talking about it?

Koramei posted:Just graphical mods. I do tend to whiz all about the map since I usually play trade empires, maybe that exacerbates it? When I'm playing in a more localized area I don't notice performance so much. Try disabling the mods, I doubt it'll matter but worth trying. Then post in bug reports (or here) with a save where you have slowdown, and if disabling mods helped, which mods it was. We can compare monthly tick to start of game and try to find cause (likely memory access, tends to be the case when you have wildly illogical performance differences between comparable hardware). SSD will only really help with save/load & startup times. Wiz fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jan 26, 2016 |
