Ymir - Piggy Edition Anonymous 03/17/19 (Sun) 19:25:51 c3f9ef No.16257099

If you're not yet playing this, get in faggot, we're building a piggy empire! This game is basically a 4x take on the old Caesar/Pharaoh/Zeus classics with interesting gameplay features like politics, persistent map, Z-axis which offers some nice building opportunities, different biomes, tech tree, real time piggy skirmishes, procedural map generation and prolly some other shit that I'm currently not thinking about.

Game seems also decent insofar the dev isn't riding the (((microtransactions))) dick, that is the current plague of gaming in general. So if you're not a poorfag, consider buying, otherwise here's the cs.rin bread with download and Steam emu instructions.

Pretty sure it's buggy and clunky as fuck. Otherwise this is exactly the type of game I want, but early access makes me wait these out.

So are you playing it ? How long does a multiplayer game last ?

>Pigs are just human cultures slapped over a different species

Gameplay looks cool, but otherwise I've been sort of on the fence about the concept.

Bacon ftw!

>>16257458

Not each structure individually but the terrain has different "real" height levels that offer strategic advantage as opposed to the ground level and plateau level of many other games in the RTS realm.

>>16257465

It obviously is buggy. Don't ever expect anything from early access, there are only very few games that actually delivered decent quality at that release stage. Rimworld and Factorio are good examples due to how passionate the devs about their product are.

>>16257549

No clue, my gaming buddies are too busy RASH B NO STOP CYKA with some drunken Slavs.

>>16257567

>concept

It's not exactly rocket science formula but so far it it feels like playing a reimagined Impressions Games classic with some Civ/AoE2 flair to it.

>>16257982

That's sort of interesting still since it's strategically important. Was assuming it more meant you could cobble together towers of custom heights.

Yeah more strategies should take a page out of Stronghold in that respect.

Looks janky as fuck but also fun. If I weren’t so broke I’d get it but for now I’ll keep an eye on it. Would be neat to play out a whole /v/ take over of a continent one day.

Is it available on GNU/Linux?

>>16258310

More strategies should just take the entire book out of Stronghold in all honesty

>Food isn't just another number to buy things, it's actually the energy of everything, and determines a big portion of popularity and if people will continuously come to your castle

>Food drains steadily, but you can change the ration amount for an increase in popularity, or decrease in times of famine or siege

>Higher popularity means higher taxes and more peasants

>This simple system encourages a realistic play on how the feudal system works, where you also have to be a good Lord and defend your peasants, but also smart with rationing and taxing

Looks like Ymir does something similar, the more I read on it.

>/v/ continent

What would that look like? State enforced shitposting? Would it be a Marksist dictatorship?

Looks good, so is it like Settlers? or Cultures?

Where's the DL link?

Seems to be another trashy unfinished indy game.

I have no problem with early access, but this shit wont even load the tutorial without crashing thanks to its shitty server based system.

30$ are just insulting to ask for something like this.

I just finished the tutorial, its been pretty fun so far. I don't think you can use the public persistent servers if you've got an unofficial copy. Or at least, nothing is showing up in the list for me.

Only certain buildings can be elevated/alter terrain, like in this picture, the fortifications on the southern side have been stacked to make the wall all the same level allowing the pigs to walk across it. Doors can be put on multiple levels to allow your archers to move between the given levels of a defensive set up.

>>16257549

The map size and player number can fluctuate from tiny, with only a few tiles, to huge, with dozens, and up to a hundred players, some of the test games on the offical public server went continuously on until it was wiped, so like 3 months or so. That was on the persistent server, so it was in real time, things took a while to happen, people wouldn't show up, so their civ would fall to ruin, or be taken over by some new player or conquered by the barbarians.

The colored tiles are all the "claimed" ones, the flags are a group of units (army/settlers/hunters), and the silver dots are a populated settlement, like the one above. And this is only one continent, there are I think three on this worlds map.
