Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization
One effect of a fog of war is that the starting space would have to be specified, rather than being left to the player.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization
That's true as well, and I've always enjoyed giving people the freedom to start wherever they want. I think this pretty much shows that I need to leave fog of war out. On the positive side of things, I was playing mission 2 last night, and I have been still playing it all day today! In my opinion, it is much more fun than mission 1, and I'm still adding things. I can't wait for everyone else to try it. :) --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization
There will be something similar to the research idea, but it's a little different. Random maps have been suggested, and might be added down the road, but I haven't decided if I'm going to do any type of fog of war yet. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization
The 1 thing with fog of war though is that it does add a lot of replay ability to the game. By that you have to explore to find resources, randomisation of maps combined with this will make for very interesting games. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Jeremy Kaldobsky Sent: 24 July 2011 16:54 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization There will be something similar to the research idea, but it's a little different.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization
With the way your peasants, stone masons and woodcutters seem to run around everywhere and go on long expeditions for timber, a fog of war strikes me as slightly less appropriate here, sinse you've got people wandering all over the place anyway and thus wouldn't need to specifically scout out where the enemy is. Pluss, Goblins don't exactrly strike me as the subtle type anyway. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization
I'm not as certain I'm afraid Darren, sinse currently your peasants will look for the nearest quantity of a resource and use it, rather than you having to find one and tell people to exploit it as in say sound rts. I'm a huge fan of some sort of random maps later just to keep life interesting, but I'm just not sure with the way the ai of your characters works how appropriate a fog of war would be.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization
Yes. The game, as people currently know it, will become mission1, in a multiple mission game. When I first designed the game, it actually contained more buildings, units, and resources than are currently present. I shaved a few things down, to balance the game play, and make things fun, yet not overwhelming and difficult. With mission 2, I will be putting much of that lost content back into the game, since the people who play it have already learned about the game from the first mission. This means I will be able to add more complexity, without necessarily overwhelming anyone. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization
Cool so will you be able to do research? Like for cannons and archers that sort of thing? Also what about more random maps so you don't always know where the goblins will come from. Although the fog of war affect with exploration would be really good. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Jeremy Kaldobsky Sent: 23 July 2011 15:37 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: job specialization Yes.
