Medieval Villagers 1.08d + Open Source version

[RinKaWaII]

Where is Adventurers Guild? Why its empty? I guess its not complete yet?

 

[Sulfar]

Correct, the adventurer guild is not done yet.

 

[RinKaWaII]

Correct, the adventurer guild is not done yet.

You did well! Well I hope this map success and see more updates on this map! Good Luck!

 

[hypsandar]

I know of a very similar map, almost the same... It feels is if the terrain was only edited and some little changes we're updated as well as credits.
However i might be wrong, i'll review the map with some of my friends and make an update post.


Edit:

Haven't played longer than a minute, this map is legit and really dope haha.
I'll enjoy playing this often.
5/5 stars

Edit:

Found a bug!
I bought myself an additional hunter, he spawned behind the wall next to the market building and i couldn't get him out.

Edit:
Had a lot of fun in this map, than when i attacked a racoon with my character and a peasant selected it said not enough ram to process this command (I have 6gb ram) and it crashed the game I was hosting it and everyone was kicked

Edit:
Bug:
Workers don't cut wood without axes, even though tool tip says they do.

Another bug:
Suddenly, for no reason what so ever my view of the map turned black except some parts of models. Couldn't play.

edit:
It got fixed, i minimized Warcraft for a while and its back to normal.

 

[Sulfar]

Thanks for your feedback guys.

I am not aware of any crash related to wild animals. In fact in all the tests I never saw a problem like that, I will try to replicate the situation, thanks for reporting.

 

[hypsandar]

Welp, another black screen thing with models and the game crashed as i minimized it.

 

[PewdiepieFan]

many bugs

 

[PewdiepieFan]

but good map

 

[Jocker]

Sorry bro you could had worked a litle more on terrain.And it needs more details.FOr now its just an ugly copy of Fotn.If you want a better rating from me.Work on the terrain a litle bit more.The gameplay is pretty much the same as fotn which just makes it like a copy of the map which isnt worked on from since i dont know when.In start you select what you want to be.Why not make players choose that with items thru the games not like this.I dont want to ruin your motivation or anything but you need a lot more to work on for this is a chicken scratch.WOrk a litle on terrain.For now the rating is 1/5.I will fix my rating as you build that map on and on.If it becomes better then fotn i will give you 5/5.Good luck.

 

[Sulfar]

Thanks for your feedback guys i really appreciate it. I am working to fix the bugs and i will have the next version available soon.

Why not make players choose that with items thru the games not like this

I believe this is a more use friendly way to let players choose the path they want to take, besides that if you do not want to choose a profession at game start you have the option to choose later, it will just give you some gold to buy the starting items you wish to buy.

The gameplay is pretty much the same as fotn

The gameplay feels like FOTN because the game concept is similar to FOTN, its a mix of RTS/RPG and city building.

It is true that some professions are similar such as hunting or breeding(because its the only logic way to implement those professions), but most of the professions are different( farming, fishing, mining and trading).

The new version fixed it. thanks!

Short Review:
You need to have a new shop called "Trader Merchant" that sells pack horses because it removes Trade Good Barrel.
Or have the Merchant shop sell pack horses instead.
Bounty bail always go up to unpayable levels( Example: 2650650 gold needed to be bailed over 100000 gold limit)
Bounty bail time always go up and never goes down.

Question:
How to go war against the Empire? I want to fight it without the bounty.

 

[Sulfar]

Thanks for your review merchant i'll get to work on the pack horse issue right now.

Question:

About the bounty bail, you get 1000 bounty for every empire citizen or soldier kill, so its pretty hard to get to unpayable levels. However i will change the equation that returns the bail time to decrease on higher bounty situations.

About the war against the Empire i am sorry to tell you can not fight them right now and its not likely to be possible in the future.

 

[Peaces]

Questions/Suggestions:
Can you add an item called "Coins" just like in FOTN? It's a good idea for these kind of maps about economy.

Can you add more health or armor to the pack horses? The Hunting Assistant units are better a better choice when it comes to trading.

Ships can't get under bridges. I suggest to make it either passable or give the ships a short teleport ability.

Add Undead Event, it gives an epic battle between living and the dead and reduce civilians due to the fact that most of them are blocking entrances.

Can add the option to build chests and have them to be invisible? It gives a sense of treasure hunting for thieves and bandits and it is related to the "Coins" item too.

Have the weapon shop sell bows. It should have a normal attack, a special attack or two and it should cost mana but casting should be like the Hunting Assistant's attack speed.

Error:
Improved Hunting Sword doesn't do anything like the Hunting Sword. It doesn't drop skin of animals.

 

[Peaces]

I can actually fight the empire and making them my enemy after killing several soldiers but...

can you make the buildings vulnerable? That way, it can feel like a good battle or a raid.
Also, after destroying the buildings can you make the option of building the destroyed building as your own or the empire rebuilding it if it's being bought by anybody else?

 

[Sulfar]

+rep for all the suggestions and feedback, much appreciated thanks!

Can you add an item called "Coins"

Thanks for your suggestions in this topic, Coin system will be coming when i release more in depth bandit mechanics, coin instead of reducing "inflation" will be a useful tool to prevent thief's from stealing your gold.

Can you add more health or armor to the pack horses? The Hunting Assistant units are better a better choice when it comes to trading.

I fixed this, now pack horses move faster and have more health to compensate the risk of losing the trade goods, also trade goods can only be carried by villagers and pack horses.

Error:
Improved Hunting Sword doesn't do anything like the Hunting Sword. It doesn't drop skin of animals.

It will be fixed for the next version.

Add Undead Event, it gives an epic battle between living and the dead and reduce civilians due to the fact that most of them are blocking entrances.

Undead Event and hopefully more events will be released soon enough, first i have to make sure everything is fixed and balanced and then i will start making new content.

About the fact that most of villagers are blocking entrances i am aware of that bug, they get stuck at the edge of their region, I've been trying to fix this for a while

 

[Peaces]

The game gets better!
But...
Improved Hunting Sword still doesn't work.
The boat passed under the bridge but it creates lots of lag and so made the game unplayable
How does your Currency System work? Does it give you an item like Coins? If it is then it's not working.

It should be fixed right now.

Currency system should be giving coins that you can use later. If something's broken tell me i tested it and it just worked fine

 

[Eagle XI]

Here is my experience so far:
>Have started as Hunter(coz like to hunt in FotN)
>got 3 Hunting Assistants, sent them to poach in wilderness to the west of city,
>let them poach a few racoons, an wolf and some rabbits,
>as they intended to return with the loot an dire wolf aggroed the group out of nowhere,
>whilst attacking the dire wolf one got slain, then one of the remaining 2 suddenly switched sides becoming traitor and ninja'd the only one left,
>noticed either that so much time has passed that their wages have drained up all my starting gold or there is an bug that suddenly takes away all my gold,
>sent hero to deal with this traitor across the map, upon arrival hero got slain,
>got rezzed in city, rushed to kill this traitor who had about 15Hp left with nothing but sucker-punches as had no sword anymore,
>beat him to death then the dire wolf that caused all this mess came by thinking what an easy prey, took the traitor's hunting sword and shanked the cowardly creature as it had like 22Hp left,
>noticed it spawned no loot as game thinks i had slain it on an cliff tile, the horror intensified as i then notice all the loot from the failed hunting trip is now missing,
>this is so fucked but decide to continue anyways,
>heading north from there, poached a few deers and a bunch of rabbits until my backpacks are full,
>decided to use the road nearby for return to the city, thinking it be safer,
>as im heading south encountered an pair of natural bandits in the form of an lvl6 boar that attacks at range and an lvl4 wolf with black fur,
>nochancefriend.jpg, got ganked
>rezzed in city again, RUUUUSH to get the items thinking if im fast enough can get away before they kill me again,
>as i arrive go pick up the hunting sword,
>all items disappear right before my eyes as if had seen an desert mirage,
>realize the game has an periodically auto-clean items on the ground script running,
>this time the 'hero' welcomes the cold embrace of death as the natural bandits gank him again,
>gg no re.

 

[Peaces]

The Coins are working but is it supposed to stack?

Bugs:
boats can't go under the bridges near the Central City.

Suggestions:
Can you change the terrain a bit in the south so boats can load/unload passengers there too? It's also to make boat trading possible.

 

[Sulfar]

Damn that's a tough experience, I am aware that hunting is one of the most tricky professions for new players I'll think a way to improve it.

Coins are supposed to stack but I forgot to add it, and about the boat trading that's a pretty nice suggestion I'll work on it.

 

[Peaces]

Are you also going to create a building called "Chest"? Its size would be small and can hold items in order to protect it from the 60 second item disappear countdown timer and bandits. It should be invisible to others but not to the owning player.

 

[cleavinghammer]

You should have the Worker's tooltip say it needs tools to do its jobs (I only found out because of a random hint about axes).

 

[Eagle XI]

Refrain from using Red color in tooltips, its hard to read.
i only wanted to talk to one of the woman npc standing around got married instead. Implement an prompt for it(Are you sure Y/N) or better yet make it item-based like in FotN(make purchaseable from vendor instead starting out with it, as it wastes space if you are not going to use rightout.)

 

[hypsandar]

Great update, keep it coming!

 

[Sulfar]

Hey, sorry guys I took a break, I updated the map with most of your suggestions and I'll try to add new features. I have in mind to add more diplomacy options like vassalage or pacts of non-aggression and a bunch of new features related to wives and bandits.

Are you also going to create a building called "Chest"?

You mean something like a backpack, right?

No, It's something like a warehouse but it's a chest and it is invisible

And backpacks a great idea too.

 

[Erilina]

Really enjoyed playing this map, and I'm glad to see you keep it up.

May i suggest to add a female character as starter hero?
Maybe then you can allow marriage between players as well, it gives diplomacy options. (idk)

Looking forward for further updates!!!

 

[Sulfar]

1.04 is out, check change log for a detailed list of changes

Sure, I will add it.

Sure thing, thanks for the feedback.

 

[Peaces]

What happened to the bandits? They didn't spawn near pack horses anymore?

 

[Sulfar]

What happened to the bandits? They didn't spawn near pack horses anymore?

Yeah they did, but I disabled them temporary, I will remake the system and extend it to other types of units to make it more realistic, also bandit players will be involved on the amount and type of bandit spawned.

I am working on some interesting stuff for 1.05, I will add a class system, you will get to choose later in the game what path do you want to take:
You can be a settler to build a city, a bandit/thief to manage the thief's guild and an adventurer to be more kind of freelance.

 

[Peaces]

I have suggestions:
Could you make units/soldiers wear armor too? I mean the purpose of a blacksmith is to equip weapons and armors to troops.
The Empire towers or buildings are invulnerable. Could you make them vulnerable but have a longer range, stronger damage, stronger armor and more health?

Thanks for the suggestions,

Regarding your first suggestion, the soldiers you recruit already have armor and have their stats balanced in function of that, also, it would increase the time you spend preparing your army.
We have an example of how unsuccessful is adding this feature in Founders of the North, the fact that you spend that much time and money preparing your army creates a scenario where if you lose the battle it feels like you completely lost the war.

About the second suggestion I have to think about that, I had in mind to allow the players to capture the villages around the map.

 

[Lil Emo Prince]

This map is nice!

I'd like to report an arena bug when the armored gladiator kills the two militias the winner isn't determined. Also the arena is in range of archers and yup, I abused this bug.. A LOT HAHA.

Anyways looking forward to more updates

Oh and BTW, what happened to the respawn time?

 

[Sulfar]

I've remade the whole main city and updated some pictures of how it looks now. Also in next update there will be a lot of visual upgrades, more variety of flowers and bushes, new visuals for interaction system and more.
Edit: 1.05 is out, make sure to check it!

 

[Peaces]

THE MAP LOOKS STUNNING!!! 0_0
Questions:
Are bandit spawns random? Do pack horses spawn them too?
Those Industries... is it going to sell and create items too?
Are there going to be Mercenaries?

 

[Sulfar]

Thanks! I worked pretty hard to get that done, I have in mind to revamp the visuals of all map but that will take long and will be done gradually.

Are bandit spawns random? Do pack horses spawn them too?

Yeah, neutral bandit spawns are random and they are related to travelers and pack horses right now.

Those Industries... is it going to sell and create items too?

I don't guarantee it but its pretty easy to add that feature, I should think of what items before I add anything.

Are there going to be Mercenaries?

Yeah, expect them for 1.06 or 1.07

 

[Peaces]

Wow! Great UPDATE!!! ^_^
So... You can have kids now right?

Edit:
I have became a werewolf but why is there a hunger system implemented and why there's no inventory?

 

[Sulfar]

Yeah with the remake of death system kids allow you to "respawn"/keep playing, i still have to think about what features family members should have.

About the werewolf, he is not supposed to wear or carry items, he's just an animal. But you do not lose the items your carrying with your villager when you turn into werewolf. And now that you mention i'll fix that hunger system bug thanks for reporting it!

 

[Kino]

One of the better RP/settler type maps, even if it seems heavily inspired by Founders in the North. After all if the template was good; why not use it?

Explaining what I enjoyed will be difficult, as a lot of it might as well be “FOTN did X well, so it’s here too”, not that I have problem. I enjoyed the free classing, I enjoyed the day to day activities each profession brings.
If I were to critique anything, it would be how the towns feel cluttered. There’s a bit too many NPCs running around and the shopkeepers don’t stand out from the crowds enough.
Terrain is a hit and miss, I thought that the autumn areas were much better in appearance than the winter ones.

Overall there’s a certain relaxing atmosphere to this map. I honestly would still play if the only feature was running a farm and nothing else. It works, its fine, its approved.

TLDR Version
– Settlers type game
- Like the overall look atmosphere/look of it
~ Map Approved

 

[Sulfar]

Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it.
I am glad that you enjoyed the professions and about the town and the terrain I will try to fix its flaws asap.

 

[Areandil]

Hey, I've hosted your map few times - people love it!!! (Me included )
I can't wait to see all things you have planned for this map, I did everything there was to do at the moment there including sightseeing whole map.

• Bugs:
  - Werewolf sometimes can get hungry, also you can become permanent werewolf, if you're using a transport ship.
  - I guess investing is also a bug, it's infinite source of exorbitant amounts of gold.
  - Arena doesn't work properly - the entrance into pit doesn't work(I've just randomly ran around the circles of power to get into pit), also I couldn't attack demon.
  - Bandit path: You can use camps or assassins without buying additional ?rights? as a bandit, so it's basically useless 7,5k. It would be awesome if these rights would give additional food - but then again there's need for worker limit I guess.
  - Crafting: Sometimes when you craft an armor you get a weapon and when you craft a weapon you get an armor. It's random from what I've seen.
  
  
• Suggestions:
  - Bandit path should get balanced somehow - they spawn too much units( just two camps can lag the whole game and they aren't worth anything against players or king), also their elite units are worth absolutely nothing (they also can't train) Bandits can't win unless they become werewolf or gain early advantage, but map is too big to find everyone without any special abilities. Revamping their abilities is something that I would recommend - windwalk would be way better than superb short invisibility that grants no movement speed, you can barely avoid guards in small towns.
  - Also a way to get more food would be superb as assassins require food - compared to landlord units they're weaker and fewer.
  - I would love to see item that gives movement speed, it's atrocious at the moment, it took me like 3 hours to run through whole map.
  - Recipes? But I guess that will be included in future updates.
  - Farming needs to be nerfed. Plants that grow without regard for weather, make these melon farmers incredible wealthy compared to everyone else.
  - Add way for a bandit to run away from the jail(!!!) I had 20000+ seconds of waiting time, only way for me to bail somehow was to die.

I don't have any suggestions for Landlord, because I see there's a lot to be implemented there, so there's not much I can say at this point.

Anyway, I love your map it's newbie friendly compared to FotN and the idea is awesome . Good job!

 

[Sulfar]

1.07 is out!

Patch summary:

About the feedback, I will think a way to improve thief gameplay and fixing that things you mentioned. +rep

 

[Sir Prise]

I want to ask, Town Houses doesn't give food for me, is it broken or I'm missing something?

 

[Peaces]

Yay! New Update!

 

[Sulfar]

I want to ask, Town Houses doesn't give food for me, is it broken or I'm missing something?

They are not supposed to give food, anyways, you don't need food to create army so that should be fine.
