So at what point does the game decide you went too far? Is it the capstone of the tree, or is it close to where we stopped? Edit: Also, I just realized this is by the This War of Mine devs, and that explains so much about it. Masterful. BassMug fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Jun 10, 2023 |

RBA Starblade posted:I think part of the problem is that the game is measured in days and not weeks… I imagine it’s even sillier in the cult route, where in less than a week you’re presumably The Son of Heaven, Who Speaks for God and rules by His Order etc.

Yeah, this feels like a pretty solid stopping point re: laws. Triage is more trouble than it’s worth when we have so few to begin with, same with Dueling. Pleasure house just plain worries me with its implicaions.

AtomikKrab posted:At the end of the day having it end right away is absolutely fine here if you have done all the objectives, you only have so many guys, and your steam cores are not unlimited either. And Frankly for your city in particular the engineers are fully prepared to die themselves as long as the seedling arks are set up for which we did, and New Manchester should also make it with all the dang automatons sent to it. As long as they don’t set them all to sweep bridges :P

God preserve us, so many lie dead. And with those who would call themselves lords above the one true Lord still out there, we can only say a quick prayer, and give of our Blood and Sweat that we may survive. It’s still better than what we had back home.

Philippe posted:Let them in and give them houses. All men are created equal. What we do to the lowest of us, we do unto our Savior. The Lords have sinned greatly against us in the world we left. We must not become them, or all we will create is a new Gehenna. We will likely need more food, however. Let them in, and improve our food. If they should decide to prey upon us, they can always be rebuked. But to leave them outside to die, when the Slate has been buried in clean snow, would doom them and us to Hell. And all the cold we suffer will be nothing compared to the heat of eternal flame.

Excerpt from a cook’s journal: “You know what’s got me hopping mad? Common bloody ground. Don’t get me wrong, the boss— Er, the Deacon— had the right idea letting the posh crowd in. Not that I like having them around, mind, but we couldn’t well whine about how they treated us and then turn around and abandon the bastards. Heh, “poor” bastards now. It ain’t sunk in yet for most of ‘em, but, heh. No, what’s got me pissed is what one of them was bellyaching about while they was going on about the rations here. He misses tea. Well goodness me or whatever you lot say, don’t we all? None of us have had a proper mug since we left the old country. Granted, a posh fucker like that probably drank some frou-frou bullshit made of imported French flowers or something, while those of us who built this drat city AND the old one drank honest builders. It ain’t tea unless it’s strong enough a rat can run across it, yeah? But here I am, staring this bloke with the biggest mustache I’ve ever seen in the eye, ripe for a bollocking, and instead of that all I can say is, “Yeah. Me too.” Like we’re mates or something. Is agreeing with some rich rear end in a top hat what equality looks like? gently caress, I don’t know that I like that.”

The Lone Badger posted:The game structure is forcing us into a false dichotomy here by requiring us to treat Craven and the children as a single unit, rather than shooting him then rescuing them. It’s especially dumb considering we could say “Only the able-bodied can come in” during part of A New Home.

I know it’s not the point of the game, but I always wonder how they cook the standard rations. We know soup/sawdust/corpses make up the ‘we have no food’ rations, but that leaves a lot of possible ideas for the real stuff. There’s always plenty of water as long as there’s fuel. We know they have access to inexplicably fast-growing veggies, presumably including potatoes or grain since they have moonshine. Scouts and hunters bring in a mix of old world rations, fish, and small game (and occasional bears) for meat. We also know they’re old timey British people. So the obvious answer is a lot of stew and pottage/potage/succotash type dishes. I imagine that long term settlements will probably need some variety, though, so what else? They have ovens, so meat pie and pasties, for in the field?
