Efficiency is always a part of the game. But don't worry, I've already got a huge list of pending changes to [strike]hose Boos[/strike] [strike]wreck SS[/strike] balance the game.

Like "Your troops found an old Goomba who gave your troops 2 Super Mushrooms for the company" (Sorry for the crappy example, but you get my point. ) You don't have to really, but I was just asking.

Anyway. 2 more Koopa Bros.

4 go Gathering

The Hammer, Boomerang, and the others go exploring.

Also, I'll buy a Warp Potion.

[SephirothKirby]

Your ShyGuys come across an abandoned mage tower. There's nothing to find there, except for an old spellbook. (You get a spellbook. However, since you don't have a Mage Guild, you can't yet cast spells.)
Later that day, the scouts find a dark lizard-looking creature by a mountain. The creature attacks them at first, but they're able to repel the attack, and chase the creature into a cave. It's too dark, however, and the ShyGuys return home. (You have discovered a cave. You may send a group of creatures there to explore at a cost of 10E, or you may send a warband, but this is not advised yet.)
Later that day, a group of exploring Koopas enters your village. (BSkullDragoshi has found you.)

Your Toads run into a skirmish between a warband of shadows and a team of Toad guards. They hide behind the trees, watching the fight, and soon it's down to one guard against two shadows. The Toad manages to wound one of them, and then attempts to escape into the forest, but he is damaged by the creature. With his last breath, he calls for your help to avenge the great Toad race, which one of your explorers promptly does, taking the Toad's spear and slaying the dark monster. (You found a spear.)

The Toads come across the remains of a merchant caravan. No dead bodies are there to be seen. The caravan was almost completely sacked; all the Toads find is an old scroll and a few coins. (You found 12 coins and gained the Forging technology.)
On the way back home, they find a wandering Toad, who tells the explorers that her town was destroyed by a swarm of dark creatures. The Toads invite her to reside in the village. (A Toad joins your tribe. It won't cost you any upkeep for today.)

[Dux is not you]

Oh, that. Well, I guess I could do them once again. I just didn't remember.

Anyway, I'm taking this day off to fix some personal balance issues, so no update today. Don't panic, repeat, don't panic. Return tomorrow for Day 6.

[Rainbow Dash]

could the days be a little longer plz

just two days would be fine

also 10 Toads gather coins with 1E (-10E, +50c)

Remaining E with exploring (-40E)

[The Willful Wanderer]

Oh. Okay.

Better be some way later on to burn buildings for rebate or resources or something, then. 'Cause I'm not using that Warp Pipe ever again.

Let me be honest with you guys. I've been thinking of a major rules reworking (something that I'm sure will improve my hosting experience, and that I hope will improve your playing experience), but it's such a large modification that it would be rather pointless to keep the players' status as it is and begin using the new rules right away. We could restart with the new system (though you might not like this after five days of play), or we could keep this game and start a separate, new one with the new rules (but please think of my mental health :( ). We could also take Chunky's request into account and do two-day turns for both games, with updates for this on one day and updates for the new one on the next.

Anyway, as I know you're gonna ask about the changes: the end result is that the turns are much simpler (making the efficient plays easier to find, kind of, and making it easier for me to follow your moves while updating), but the game runs much slower (and this might be frustrating for some). Basically, this would help the more casual players while somewhat hurting the powergamers, because less complex turns means less possibility for... uh... insane growth. The changes are not big enough that I would have to redesign all the races, items and buildings, but it's easier to follow its effects and consequences if we start from Day 1 with the new rules.

[SephirothKirby]

did you take my advice

did you focus less on tribes

i hope you did.

Honestly, I'd love two of these, but it'd stress you, so I'm voting no on that.

Perhaps just carrying over to the second one would be best. Although, slower? How much slower? Like, only update once a week slow?

EDIT: oh, you meant the game progresses slower.

[I am nobody]

I vote to start a new game. Boos are too broken.

[The Willful Wanderer]

I vote to start a new game. Boos are too broken.

Just because I went efficiency with them? I almost did it with Birdo or Goomba instead, would you have said those were broken when I got similar results with them?

Boos aren't broken, it's just that I'm a)focusing entirely on getting as many Boos as possible, b)taking advantage of the fact that units haven't been re-priced to take the lack of housing/upkeep into account, c)going hogwild with March of the Horde and the Spawn Pipe, and d) neglecting items because Boos can't use most of them in the first place (and actually, Marios would probably be more efficient with items, as would all the 3E for 100c units).

I could have beaten 1000c on turn 3 with Birdo easily- hit something more like 1500c (300E), and that's not counting March of the Horde or the Warp Pipe. Just because nobody else got the same kind of results doesn't mean that nobody else *could* have gotten the same kind of results.



Regardless, I could go either way- I really don't care much as long as there is more game.

[Apiary Tazy]

By all means, start over and shiz.
