Region Economy rebalance

[Watly]

I have just seen a city which produces negative food post-rebalance on Dwilight xd.

It's Rettleville for those interested.

Yes, we know. There's a reason the rebalance isn't live yet.

[Watly]

Kinda interested though, how does one produce negative food?

Do they produce nothing at all and pump some food out of the peasant's bellies and throw it away? :O

Battlemaster! Now also a game of horror!

But in the short term, you have every banker on Dwilight (except Morek and Nielsur) playing FoodMaster instead of BattleMaster. I've contacted all of them. You're going to see a lot of regions going rogue this winter unless the food values get adjusted.

Frankly, I don't care. The project will progress as I have time to put into it, and it is not something that I can or will partially release. Releasing a portion of this project without the rest is a recipe for disaster because of the huge changes involved.

For example, the rebalance is modifying the population of every single city on Dwilight. No exceptions. The food portion relies very heavily on this, and the food portion is being balanced by gold values of regions. As you've already seen, there are regions experiencing massive changes in their gold production.

At the end of the day, rogue regions mean nothing to me. My objective is not, and never was, to resolve short-term problems.

All that said, the project is in its final stages.

Edit: Also, because we're already along into Autumn, releasing it now would not fix your problem. Have some fun with it.

Wait... Populations is going to be changed? I thought reading somewhere in this thread that there would not be population change. Is it going to ensure that gold production for cities are not crazy high?

Honestly, you should really listen more to the people who have to play through this. having to deal with food CONSTANTLY really is stressful, and played a large part in burning me out until i hardly had any patience for the game anymore. this was a huge part of why i quit and deleted my account.

I think that perhaps you don't understand what "we are all volunteers working in our spare time" really means.

All the devs spend what time they can, working to develop the game as best they can. That means stuff takes time to fix or implement. Sometimes that time is very significant. If you want instant response and lots of resources expended to change the eemergency-of-the-day, then maybe you should play a game with a full time paid dev team.

In the meantime, if you find some part of the game too stressful, then stop playing that part of the game, and do something else. Let someone else who doesn't mind doing it take over.

Honestly, you should consider who it is you're speaking to before telling me what I already know.

In the past, I was banker of Barony of Makar. At the same time, and through to today, I play the banker of Luria Nova. That same character currently stands as the single most skilled trader in the game. I became involved in the food system explicitly to determine what the issues with the current system are and how they can be fixed.

Without any degree of gloating, hubris, or whathave you, I can tell you as a fact that there is no one with as much knowledge about the food system as me.

I don't need you to tell me how stressful food is right now. I know what it's like. It's why I started this project and why I have put so much of my available time into working on a solution. I also understand the problems well enough to know that a band-aid solution will only make things worse.

Edit: Forgot a 'there'!

So, any news? No pressure. 

It's just that sitting on two regions with +82% post-rebalance gold output makes me drool.

Rebalance is finished, but waiting on other things before it goes live.

Nice

Okay, thanks!
