The islands that form are great on 2 layers, however the banding of other biomes not so much. I it were possible to combine this with patchwork so certain important biomes in the banding zone have a chance to 'bloat up' ocasionally.

Jason! The new map gen looks pretty. And yes, I think sprinkling in some pattern breaking, overlaying biomes would do good in adding some extra diversity to keep us guessing.

Whenever you think of something.
Think of all the ways it can be abused.

People are not allways all that altruistic. Look at your idea again and think of all the ways it will benefit a griefer.

Take care, Tarr.

I'm still very positive that the update is opening a nice gateway for the future.
But Jason just has to iron out the issues, the issues that were present in the infinite world but only now go potented to such a degree that it causes massive issues.
Also including the rampant griefing not being as rampant and giving us better tools to deal with them.
And such changes take time to do...just on how many there are.

there was a game made by a single person called Impressive Title, iirc it was originally a single player campaign made for the guy's friend?. in 2008 iirc? Servers of this game still exist today and are quite popular. Considering the amount of servers, them together probably have more players than OHOL i think.

Later a multiplayer version was made, it was popular.

While such features were not supported as in ohol, it had LINEAGES, MOTHERS, FATHERS, UNCLES, GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDPARENTS. While no in game feature existed for it. Some offsite forums made their OWN lineage and species browsers by hand registering members of a bloodline, sometimes even scouring out the most obscure of lost relatives! All by the players! Because they wanted such a feature!

There were complex organisations and you could make groups.There were different multi generation lineages with some persisting till today as charaters (even though the games are long dead) aka, The donovans , faire, Abraxas.
People had wara between groups, healthy drama was routinely ecouraged in later server interations. (the game was originally shut down but private servers popped up)
There was war, there was drama, there was love and there were families. The organisations had complex social heriarchies including spies, warriors, hunters...

And what's the catch?
It was a 3D game with minimal pve content, whichsupported 0 (except forming a group) of these features were supported through gameplay.
'wars were pretend'
'fightswere pretend'
'bloodlines were pretend'
'people willingly 'died' and retired and deleted characters to account for age and casualities'
most conflict was usually preplanned but regardless of it...it was fun.

Any troublemakers were dealt with ... you can just ban people and poof. The players literally made their own game out if the game. Now isn't this brilliant?

So yeah. There were games with family and drama. No civilisation raising tough...Since everyone was a... LION!

This is impressive, scary, and realistically impossible!

I briefly return from the depths of writing.

Once the state of the game is concluded simply by looking at numbers and use them to dismiss player's crucial anecdotical evidence, we're getting to wargaming's sense of idea what the players really want.
A 8% 10% 5% precent of murder rate is just a number without context. If the players say it's too high and unenjoyable and ruining the experience of building a civilisation/family, then n% is too high of a murder rate, no matter if it is 1%, 6%, 50%.
We have to keep in mind, numbers look vastly different if you're looking at them from an isolated sheet compared to what actually transpires in game.

Even if we look at those raw numbers just so, maybe they seem small on paper, but in game it's enough to wipe out a megacity after megacity after megacity, to the last individual ever born there.

These stickers are adorable. The good cook boy is my favourite.

Well, that was an interesting thought experiment. Truly in ohol, we also don't have enough time to propperly analyse any given situation and most want to act fast to conserve their limited hourly-life.

Thank you for sharing this, it's quite an interesting interaction you've had.

Those could be solved simply by introducing further recipes

It's very depressing how early one can experience depression, it's not an enjoyable existance, worse if it's persistant throughout your life.
But we cope and we live. I am glad my text helped
