Helpline / Improving a region

« on: March 16, 2013, 09:56:24 PM »

We've had 5 people working on a region for 3 weeks and it hasn't improved, first time I've seen it be so hard.
It took 3 attempts to do a TO - 2 sympathetic, instant revolt, then a brutal which worked.

Region Lord can't hold courts, it gets interrupted
2 people are doing npw
1 doing civil
2 beuro's

No starvation, region is at core/hateful/crawling (due to population).

any ideas?

Region is Melias on Atamara

Atamara / Minas Ithil?

« on: March 09, 2013, 01:54:45 AM »

For the facebook page, for major events on the timeline I post kingdoms founded/destroyed.  I see Minas Ithil has no land, but has nobles... at what point is Minas Ithil considered officially destroyed?

Feature Requests / Feature Request: Add Food Rations to islands with Seasons

« on: March 03, 2013, 05:34:18 PM »

Title: Add Food Rations to Islands with Seasons

Summary: Allow the Region Lord to adjust food rations to mitigate starvation effects: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.0.  Lower rations would cause a decrease in morale while higher rations would cause a morale bonus.

Benefits: This would allow Region Lords to manage starvation, food surplus, and food deficits.

Possible Exploits:

• Nations who use starvation as a weapon would have to wait longer for the effects.
• Food prices may drop
• Conflict over food related issues would not be as severe

BM General Discussion / If your island exploded, would you stop playing?

« on: March 03, 2013, 04:51:09 PM »

I got called in to work but they are not ready for me to work yet, so instead of reading more food threads I figured I would make another poll.

BM General Discussion / Your Thoughts on Food and the Marketplace

« on: February 28, 2013, 06:09:17 PM »

Unfortunately I could not find any free adaptive polling sites (polls that ask you different questions based on your answers).  I found one, but it limited the total number of questions to 10.

There will be another poll based off this poll.  Why?  The feedback from this poll will allow us to focus our attention on specific areas.  Until we know what those areas are, we need to be a bit more general, and the first task is to identify if these issues are island specific, or wide spread.  Chances are there will be a third survey based off the second.

If you play on multiple islands, please respond based on the worst food situation as the intention for this is to investigate.

If you disagree with this method, feel free to create your own poll.

BM General Discussion / Silly IR question

« on: February 28, 2013, 02:47:17 AM »

I can not:
tell a noble to change class
tell a noble to recruit a specific unit

I can:
tell a noble which region or realm they can belong to or suffer consequences

correct?

Development / January 2013 Final Status Report

« on: February 01, 2013, 02:51:58 PM »

January has been a very interesting month, M&F was unofficially announced, and Solari began work on the mobile site again.  It should be mentioned that aside from Tom, no BM development resources are working on M&F.

January's overall status: Green

January2013 Goals:
Continued Doctrine Conversion - In Progress
Test the New Message System on all islands - Evaluating Feedback
Continued Facebook updates - On-going
Embedded IRC Chat - Live
Food Balance Tweaking - On-going

Items Not Planned:
Mobile Site Development - in progress

Notes:
Here's some specific details on the Doctrine Conversion:

Primarily: Doctrinifying the guild/religion turn script.

A major part of this is, as I posted the other week, overhauling religion spread so that it's not so absurdly counterintuitive.

I will also be doing my best to ensure that there is no chance of the total religious belief in a region going over 100%, as happened earlier and caused so many problems.

For time reference, I would guesstimate that the work I've put in so far on the Doctrinification of this script has taken at least 15-20 hours.

Once I have the turn script Doctrinified, I will be going through and Doctrinifying the remaining Guild pages, and then the various Priest pages. At this point we will be able to do away with the old-style code in guilds.inc, replacing it entirely with Doctrine-friendly code.

As always, questions and comments are appreciated!

Cheers,
Scott
