One Hour One Life Forums

in regards to your original comment about early civs i honestly think the eve set up is pretty easy and i find it more fun than town playthroughs... i like trying to find the best spot for a town n trying to beat my lineage record. ive also had lives with religious grandmas at 3 gens down the line but that was a lil while ago i suppose (all hail the rabbit gods) and it tends to be the newer players who like to rp in early civs

so i dont think its the early game mechanics thats the problem.... its the distribution of kids. maybe some effort should be made in distributing kids with more or less hours in the game a lil more evenly throughout lineages cos it really just feels like a roulette. idk how that would work tho, maybe players with less than hours in the game would get higher priority in being born into a lineage thats 5+ generations in? while still controlling for the amount of ppl born to longer lineages?

not sure how programming works but i dont think changing the early game mechanics is the way to go on this problem

havent played in a bit so not 100% if

is actually outdated but i think pein's pens v 3.0 is the easiest one to make anyways

i went back about 10 pages but no more than that so there mightve been a few that i missed. feel free to drop them below. also pls lmk if the guides are outdated!

lol history repeats itself i guess

we did this a while back n wow..... the amount of incapable guards who hoard the weapons and just sponge off other ppl while harassing innocents was honestly more annoying than griefers

this kind of system only lasts 3 generations at the most and usually breaks down on gen 2 cos the previous "sheriff" gives away their weapons to some noob who dies of starvation in a farm/gets murdered at age 23 or to a murderer in the making

its better to have knives spread out amongst the common folk than relegating murder duties to one person who can easily take advantage of it

my b i didnt fully explain my thinking... i meant like the exact way its supposed to work hasnt really been explained... n idk shit abt source codes man so like if its not in laymans term idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

id actually like a full explanation of what its supposed to do myself usually all ppl say is that eves spawn back where their spawn point is set (fuck its late im forgetting the term for the stick thing whatever) but an explanation of x amount of ppl in a server or the possibility of being born back as an eve to ur old spot or when its erased or whatnot would be nice... i still havent fully understood it yet cos i havent looked at numbers since like 8th grade

a part of the game is knowing when to raise n when to abandon ur kids. even tho the automatic mindset is to raise all ur kids, if u go down that route u will lead very quickly to famine in small camps, and wasted resources n chaos in bigger towns. i normally dont even bother raising kids in cities b/c theyre so likely to be picked up by another female (usually i just name em n drop em in a baby pile).

ofc this isnt very helpful for helping new players learn but u cant teach every single new player, u should try to stick to teaching one player about the specifics of a certain job. if they really wanna learn theyll ask for help. a bit back i had a guy who just followed me around to learn about shepherding n i seldom spoke to him, but he would learn the basics by watching n try it out for himself. when i saw him struggle (not full berry bowl) i gave him a lil help but he figured it out mostly on his own

before the steam launch things had calmed down quite a bit on the new player front n u could afford to be picky about whether or not u raise certain children (i would normally limit myself to 3 in an eve camp - 2 smart girls n 1 boy), but with the steam launch there r probably more new players than experienced ones. ive only played a couple of times since the launch n i gotta say - if ur playing eve keep track of ur girls n generally keep at least 3 around at a time (they usually die off pretty quick). with boys i usually keep around 2 - they dont reproduce so u dont gotta worry about keeping future population booms in mind, but they do take up quite a few resources

when it comes to raising kids i generally plop em on a warm spot n just go do my thing, when they grow hair i tell em where food is (or lead the way if im particularly worried) n leave them to their own devices. u dont gotta feed em too often either - this is a mistake i often see new mothers doing, theyll just repeatedly pick up n feed the kids n waste their own hunger bar n die of starvation (every time u pick up a baby u lose a hunger bar).

so raising the kids isnt really the hard part, its knowing when to keep n when to abandon them that takes a bit of practice. just ignore em till they grow hair n then give em a job to do (if they dont do it w/e theyll prolly die off soon enough anyway). tho i suppose from ur post u prolly wanna keep em all alive... i discourage that heavily. itll take up way too much of ur time and they prolly wont live that long to pay off ur efforts anyways

thanks tarr! added the two.

hi son! were you daring? sorry i couldnt save you. killed ur mom tho

that makes a lot of sense! a few of the pages had repeat stories on them but many ppl followed ur rules. or just didnt have anything interesting to write i guess. its nice that u got help in the end tho

the day we can wipe our ass in game is the day that jason will have delivered on his promises
