I knew that Jason is from the future!

please Jason please something like rivers, even if they dont provide clean "useable" water, just something to change the look and feel of the all same world, something purely for the environment like rivers, mountains, even sees?

How about this then:  Whatever special biome your Eve chooses to settle in is what the family is allowed to interact in and if she chooses one of the more generic ones, you are out of luck for the desert, arctic & jungle.

The system as it exists is inherently racist.  The removal of it isn't politically correct, it is just the right thing to do if you believe all races can perform the same basic tasks as depicted in the game.  Anyone who argues otherwise is a racist in my book.  Skin tones should be so that everyone feels included in the game, not used as stereotypes of race x is good at y.

And what if no Eve's chooses desert for example then you cant get sulfur, bad idea.

Black people dont get as easily sunburnt as gingers or other white people, does that mean that biology is racist?

It's not really about performing tasks since everyone can make latex if they have the ingredients, it's about evolution and adaptation to a particular environment.

Black people dont get heatstroke in the desert that's accurate to real life (to a certain degree) nothing racist with that.

Main issue imo is in the fact that it's a pure restriction instead of an advantage in adaptation over others.

Using turn based combat in a real time massive online game doesnt sound like a "intuitive" solution...

do you seriously think that the war is implemented in OHOL?
Do you really call the "hierarchies" a political system?

I think this community has played very few games

OHOL has no war because the first version of the war swords was a disaster in its implementation and the "solution" was (as usual in this game) totally inconsistent magic restrictions

anyway the current numbers of players and the pile of absurd restrictions that exist in OHOL does not allow to have wars

with the hierarchy system we have a similar situation ... it doesn't do much good

It's in the game, Ease up

I don't see how war coheres with anything about parenting or civilization building.  It doesn't fit with how the game is advertised.

I want to say yes, but last time he played he thought there was too much iron and that resulted in the iron nerf.

"a multiplayer game of parenting and civilization building", but you can't really raise your children, nor create a civilization

you could raise your kids you just make too many to raise them properly. I can raise 1 kid per 10 minutes Properly and no more.
it would be much better if you could choose when you want a kid.

As for civilization, well there is only one civilization, the player base and it is a mixing pot of everyone, If you see we have similar city designs, similar food preferences, we say, please yum and we destroy berries, we make spam pies and always make a similar kitchen building and smithing.

We luck separated and dedicated groups of people to form separate interests and traditions. If we could stick to a family and always have the same co-players the player base would split to groups and would form different interests and practices.

playing only 60 minutes and in random places and families doesn't help to form group identity.

>the problem with the game is people can't grief.

If we were seriously looking at what the issues plaguing the game are it could be broken down in a few simple things.

1). The game is just incredibly stale. If you've played this month, the start of the year, or since the introduction of diesel wells the game is basically the same. Sure there are tweaks here and there but the game has essentially been the same going on nearly a year and a half+ at this point. We're still playing the same game now with just less people (again).

2). We're back to things being meaningless in the sense that anything you do is going to be lost in a day or so. Previously, you could build a town and revive it based on how well or liked the place is but due to the iron nerfs it's never the correct play to ever do so. It's best to loot towns and restart as a fresh Eve and coupling this with how lineages die it's moot to do beautification projects

There's plenty of other things but making a through list on why the game is bad would be more of a waste of time than OP's post.
