I have some more feedback. Trying to be helpful, so do let me know if it's too much/annoying! There seems to be a bug with the time scaling function. As the game goes on, building the same stuff takes more and more years. I got to the point where hoplites take 1k+ years, even in big, productive towns. Similarly, research starts taking longer and longer, like probably 100+ turns between advances. Maybe the research slowdown was because I had finished exploring the map? Either way, seems like a pacing issue.
hi, thank you—i really appreciate the feedback! having a rest action for cities and diplomacy between teams are the very next things i want to do; i just don’t know how to implement them in a way i’m happy with, yet.
there isn’t really a time-scaling function: meeps and techs both increase in cost the more of them you have, respectively. discovery is supposed to be accelerated by libraries and universities, but their outputs may be too low and the increase rate may be too high. if i can ask, how many hoplites (or meeps in general) did you have at the point where it felt too long?
thank you! :)
Makes complete sense. I really love how you've done the "techs"/descriptions btw. Good critical theory spice.
Hmm I see. I'm not sure of the exact count. A lot of troops for sure, but I also have a ton of towns. Would there be a way I could share my save file with you? I feel like it'll be easier if you just play a few rounds than me trying to explain it more fully.
