Management / Sim Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - procedurally generated kingdom management game with ASCII graphics

[thesecret1]

do you have any suggestions on how to balance the money in the game?

First of all, do something about the gambling. It's essentially free money once you realise that the name of the gladiator directly tells you his stats. Sure, you can lose because of RNG, but then you can just bet again, with higher bet, and clean the house anyway. This translates, especially in early game when money is tight, into tedious gambling over and over again, so as to get some income. It's not very fun, it's just necessary to survive. See, at game start, you actually make too little money - bandit raids almost always send you into negative numbers until you have enough to get a palisade, so you need to gamble to get some money to buy it. Really, the root of the issue seems to be that "normal" income is tied to the number of peasants. Meaning that at game start, you have none whatsoever, yet as you get bigger, your income grows unchecked. Tie the money to something else, something that isn't so easy to snowball, and make the enemies grow more dangerous with time and more aggressive, so that you need to recruit more troops often just to survive. Also nerf income from the various estabilishments you conquer during exploration. Extra income from them makes sense, but some of them just give ridiculous amounts of money. Thickblood tavern comes to mind especially - I'm pretty sure I got 10k+ from it on a regular basis (granted, after upgrading it). Something like 500 would make much more sense. I also noticed that the kingdom upgrades got really expensive in higher tiers, obviously to work as a money sink. That's not really the way to handle this - money sinks are a patchwork solution that doesn't really solve the problem, and it does not make the game any more challenging. After all, when I'm sitting on 400k troops, I don't care if I have to wait 3 turns or 6 to get enough money to upgrade something - nothing can endanger me so there is no problem just waiting for the money.

Also weird question but what sort of stuff would you have liked to/expected to see in my little secret realm?

Do you mean your room when you break the 4th wall? Honestly, I'd preffer it not to be there at all. It doesn't add anything, it just breaks immersion. I get it's a trope at all, but as far as I'm concerned, it's a bad trope. When I spend the effort with finding some key and tracking down the door it unlocks, I expect to be met with something cool at the end of the jouney - some big fight, some treasure, a new quest, just something to make it feel worth the effort. Instead, I'm met with a joke. I can assure you that to the player, it does not feel very funny, it just feels like a let down. I expected some secret treasure or a boss fight or something, instead I learn that you're a smoker and use a chalice as an ashtray. Surely you can see why that doesn't feel very satisfying. The other times you broke 4th wall, like with the various inn patrons making refferences to being in the game, that was much better - it didn't really harm the game, it was in a place where one would expected random garbage to be, it was fine. But making one of the few "quests" in the game lead to meta stuff, that's just underwhelming.

This is something that I fully agree with.
The only environment in which I would even remotely accept 4th wall breaking as legitimate would be comedic games, and even there it might just be better without.
When you play a video game, you are trying to get into the flow, the world, get immersed. And then an arbitrarily placed joke just pulls you right out.
Even if the joke hits the mark with you (and that is RARE, humor is the most subjective form of entertainment), the immersion will be gone.

I think the easiest rule of 4th wall breaking, outside of eastereggs, maybe, is: Don't.

 

[Wastelander404]

Wasn't planning on releasing this as an update but I discovered a game breaking bug with the race generation system and had to release this to ensure it doesn't mess up anyones game, luckily what I'd already worked on prior to the fix is enough for a nice little update!

**MAJOR FEATURES**

Now before a normal random races game, you can choose an additional choice of going like normal and taking what you're given or give yourself the option to review and reject the random races in your world and try for another random set, this allows lots of players to get a true feel for the randomness of the game and to get a game start more suited to them while still being random as hell.

Also in the extras menu generators screen there is now something called 'Advanced Race Generator' which allows you to spawn a big list of however many races you want.

* Added new menu for selecting races before a normal game
* Added new system for kingdom names to include weird proc genned name systems
* Added new graphical end of turn screen for any assassinations ordered by the player
* Added new extras generators race generator page where you can generate as many races as you choose (select a number)

**ANOTHER RACE EXPANSION**

The last few days I've been working through lists of suggestions and ideas for new prefixes for the race system as well as tweaking and adding new abilities to them, this coupled with the new 'taur' system mentioned below has resulted in an additional 10'079'211 races in Warsim. (Was 59'361'042 before, now 69'440'253). Many of these new races will have unique effects such as 3 sets of eyes, fixed leader personalities, longer heads and so on.

**GOODBYE CENTAARS**

This update contains another huge improvement to the race generator and its randomness, thanks to
a suggeston by u/Nighteye424, the idea was to have half-horse half-(everything) races instead of
just centaurs (half-horse half-man) or our special race of centaars (half-horse half-elf) centaars
were added long ago and well before the randomness of this race generator had picked up but now
they are no longer needed so they have been removed.

In their place however is a system that can generate tons of potential races including stuff like
Goblintaurs, Orctaurs, Elvetaurs, Trowtaurs, Trolltaurs, Cthuultaurs. Each of these races is it's
primary counterpart and half-horse giving them a battle bonus and a new name and description.

Now the races you find in the game can be even more random, though it's still rare to see a 'taur'
type race in game!

* Removed Centaars from the game
* Added new 'taurs' affix that can be added to all non-beast default races (except Men, Folk, Centaurs, Minotaurs, Minotaars, Satyr, Faun) as cool as it would be to see some Mentaurs...

**MINOR FEATURES**

Now King Gurnak has a face, All throne room executions look a little better, and freeing slaves screen has been improved with a new unique graphic!

* Made all executed characters faces turn blood-red during/after execution

**WARSIM GENDER CHOICE UPDATE**

Hey guys, so I'm going to start this update with something I've needed to add for quite some time but just haven't gotten round to, when I first made this game it wasn't meant to be for anyone else, it was just a little test project to play around, because of that I never bothered adding options for how to be referred to, but I realised recently after watching a stream by a female streamer that it can be a little bit immersion breaking for those who want to imagine themselves in those roles being referred to as a King and a Lord, I've now added a system to allow the player to be male or female, but also to set their own titles of referal for anything non-binary or your own wacky titles, more freedom of playstyle is never a bad thing, sorry to anyone who has been waiting a while for this!

* Added new female name generator for choosing random names before game
* Added ability to play as a queen (or custom title) instead of always a king
* Added new graphic for choosing difficulty as a queen
* All references to Mister in game are now dynamic (Mister, Misses, CUSTOM)
* All references to m'lord in game are now dynamic (M'lord, M'lady, CUSTOM)
* All references to lord in game are now dynamic (Lord, Lady, CUSTOM)

P.S. I've tried to replace every single reference to the player being male, but there may be some I've missed so if someone plays as female and spots any I've missed please message me and I will update them to be dynamic! Thanks

**NEW MINOR FEATURES**

Two minor features I couldn't put anywhere else, now you can see the breakdown of unit battlescore in the troop report screen thanks to /u/nolat and there is dynamic text for the mercenary screen now that hopefully clears it up for some who don't click into the mercenary groups under the premise they'll have to pay to do it.

* Added new dynamic battlescore breakdown in troop report (for all troops including independent randomly generated ones) (credit u/Nolat)
* Added new dynamic intro text for mercenary screen

**MONSTER TRAINER UPDATE IMPROVEMENTS**

Nothing major but I've added additional variation for the monster hunting expedition, now it's more random and some groups dynamic text will give them a higher chance of success.

* Added 3 new additional possible dialogues for sending troops on monster capture expedition
* Added some dialogues will result in higher success rates from capturing a monster with no casualties

**CLIMBING ASCENDED**

**THE GOBLIN SLAVER EXPANDED**

While looking into the goblins and goblin slavery being banned I realised how flat and shallow the goblin slaver is, it's just a line of text and a random price cost of goblins set at each game start, I figured it could be far far more dynamic and interactive and so I spent the last two days making it just that. Now the goblin slaver isn't just some line of text, it's a real character with their own personality, battlescore, face, and name. You have a relationship with them that can grow and earn you bonuses and each goblin slaver will be different from the last with their own combination of a trait and their battlescores effect, meaning you might find a slaver giving his goblins away, or one selling them for 1000 gold each, or perhaps he's selling a bunch of humans painted green, it's all possible now!

* Added goblin slavers capturing ability tethered to their battlescore
* Added new type of goblin slaver (recruiter) More goblins each turn
* Added new type of goblin slaver (penny pincher) pays you half tribute
* Added new type of goblin slaver (generous) pay you twice tribute

* Added new type of goblin slaver (mercantile) goblins twice as expensive, tribute is twice as much too
* Added new type of goblin slaver (discounted) goblins twice as cheap, tribute half as much
* Added new type of goblin slaver (coin collector) goblins cost 1 gold each
* Added new type of goblin slaver (misvalued) goblins cost 1000 gold each, tribute is 4x as much
* Added new type of goblin slaver (giver) goblins are free, cannot gain relation, captures less goblins
* Added new type of goblin slaver (berserk and cheap) goblins are berserkers and cost 1 gold each
* Added new type of goblin slaver (slaver) "goblins" are actually human slaves painted green
* Added new type of goblin slaver (efficient) can store 10x as many goblins

* Added ability to talk to goblin slaver with dynamic dialogue based on stats

* Added alternate dynamic graphics for recruiting slaves painted green (5 graphics)
* Added 1 in 6 chance of goblin hunter fleeing from being hunted by goblin warlord

* Added chance of +2 goblins gift each year depending on personal relationship with slaver
* Added chance of +half standard tribute gift each year depending on personal relationship with slaver
* Added if max relationship then you will get one of the above gifts each year

**BANDIT KING IMPROVEMENT**

I was looking through my to-do list and spotted this feature concept, it makes sense too, as a bandit king you will now recruit a mix of soldiers and bandits (mostly bandits) each turn unless you declare forceful enlistment.

* Added playing as bandit king will give you soldiers and bandits as recruits each turn

**GOBLIN DESERTION REWORK**

It was brought to my attention that the goblin desertion events were happening even with slavery banned, I checked and it was the same for celebrations too, I think it shouldn't be this way so now its fixed and there are new positive events to take its place.

* Made goblin desertion events 50x rarer if you have goblin slavery banned (credit Chara66613)
* Made goblin desertion events 50x rarer if you have goblin celebraiton (credit Chara66613)
* Made goblin desertion events 9999x rarer if you have both goblin celebration and slavery banned (credit Chara66613)
* Added small goblin joining pack end of turn event (if goblin celebration active and goblin slavery banned)

**SPONTANEOUS TOURNAMENTS**

Tournaments are fun and so is the Arena, but for some players tournaments are a far off concept they won't get to see, I thought it would only be fair if the independent arena owners occasionally went and ran their own tournament, so now in the early game you may notice that a tournament is underway and the arena wont function as it normally does, I've also expanded tournaments a little bit with a new introductory screen.

* Added new intro for declaring a tournament
* Added ability for arena not held by the player to hold tournaments too (1 in 6 chance each year)
* Added new pre-tournament text for arena owner dynamic depending on their personality
* Updated layout of bet screen in tournaments

**NEW NAMES**

Not as many as the last update but added a couple more names to keep things fresh.

* Added 5 new faction name generator parts
* Added 10 new female character names
* Added 10 protofolk names

**THE LUCKY GNOME**

What started as a small idea to expand the blackmarket stalls became a multi-pathed questline that took me hours to put in, make sure you swing by and see it for yourself, but beware the consequences.

* Added new mini questline (with multiple diverse outcomes and dynamic systems) 'The Lucky Gnome'
* Added new dynamic change to blackmarket gallows depending on outcome of quest
* Added new economic stagnation effect to blackmarket depending on outcome of quest
* Added new sound effect 'Gnome Squeeze'

**BUGFIXES**

A couple of bugfixes, mainly catching up with missed parts of the last gender update though I feel there are probably some more nested about!

* Fixed 'one true king' intro text error (credit u/Nighteye424)
* Fixed grammar issues in intro court event

* Fixed intro text grammar issue
* Fixed bluetrii stand buying and selling layout

The main focus of this update, one of the most heavily requested things I recall being asked for in warsim, there have been numerous emails, comments, steam community threads and reddit comments, now you can select any prefix for your custom races allowing you explore weird and specific prefixes you'd like to and create the exact races you want for your world.

* You can now choose a prefix to go along with race selection giving you full control

**PRE-BATTLE SCREEN IMPROVEMENTS**

**THE DEVELOP-A-THON IS OVER**
-
Thank you everyone who's been suggesting ideas, commenting, and supporting me! When I told a friend of this challenge in a pub last week I was told it would be harder than I thought, and it was! it's been a lot of work but I'm glad it's been done, some of the stuff that's come out of this weeks series of updates has definitely improved the game and I've loved the input from everyone!

This will most likely not be the last time Warsim get's a Develop-a-thon!

 

[Gunnar]

The combat definitely needs to be overhauled though, I will keep these things in mind as I continue working on it

No combat overhaul?

 

[Wastelander404]

Gunnar, hi! nice to see you back. I've begun writing new concepts and collating the suggestions the system has had from fans, currently keeping development alongside the game while i plot the update. the combat overhaul is going to be huge and basically a rewrite of everything so I don't want anything to be half-arsed if I can avoid it.

How are you?

 

[Gunnar]

I have a list of games that I'm waiting on to become more finished before I play them again, this being one of them. Glad to hear the combat overhaul is coming down the pipe, I've been planning on checking out the game again once that's done.

 

[Wastelander404]

Awesome, well thanks for checking back!

I too can't wait for the total combat overhaul :D

 

[Wastelander404]

Another little update I've done since the end of the Develop-a-thon, this one has a couple of nice features in it like the new knight 2 hero system and the new independent crown system.

**KNIGHT 2 HERO SYSTEM**

You can hire any number of heroes each turn to take up one of the five spots, but not your own tough knights, not anymore, now when you enter the list of heroes to recruit to the positions you will notice a new option. The new option allows you to bring forth a random knight of yours and declare them a champion, thanks /u/animalsbite for the suggestion!

Here's the trial choice screen - https://i.imgur.com/8wVIDPq.png

* Added ability to turn knight to hero on recruit hero screen (needs to do a trial to be promoted)
* Added ability to give knight the trial 'Find a rock atop mount Saaroth' (hard, reward: public opinion)
* Added ability to give knight the trial 'Find a random artifact' (finds a random artifact, reward: gold value of the random artifact)

I was playing around in the game the otherday and saw the sorry state of the crowns screen, it seemed more like an afterthought than anything interesting, I've updated the screen to vary depending on the personality of the kingdoms leader with each description and screen being more interesting than the solo default one that existed before

Here's an example of the dung crown screen - https://i.imgur.com/GpJF6LJ.png

Hey Guys,

So in the last month Warsim has undergone a ton of development

A month ago we had the gender choice update as well as 246 other features, we've had a develop-a-thon that saw 50 new features added each day for a week which included a custom character creator and tons of other features.

We saw the goblin slaver update and the addition of spontaneous tournaments in the Arena. We saw the race selection update allowing for massively custom gameworlds.

We saw weird stuff like over 100 thousand new helmets like these added to the game

And we had the goblin update adding over 3 trillion new goblin faces among other features!

To celebrate tons of improvement and addition to the game I'm doing a 30% off sale, I think the game is already fairly cheap for what you get but I want to entice as many people who are on the fence into trying it as possible, this game is a project of passion that has been in development for years and I want as many RPG fans to give this as chance as possible!

- 30% OFF on steam and Itch.io
https://itch.io/s/20244/warsim-the-realm-of-discounts
http://store.steampowered.com/app/659540/Warsim_The_Realm_of_Aslona/?beta=0

If you have the game already but think a friend might like it let them know!

Thanks

Huw Millward (Solo developer of Warsim)

 

[zapotec]

I wanted to buy it but i don't think there are enough faces!

 

[Wastelander404]

zapotec You might be right... better go add another few trillion goblin faces for good measure!

 

[pakoito]

I have to get around playing this some day. Good job!
