Hi guys,

Quick question.

Comparing the cost of troops in the mercenary tab... How come a Wolf has (a lot) cheaper prices than a Rat... A Rat is supposedly +25% cheaper than the average and a Wolf 15% more expensive.

[Ryu]

The race chart is confusing on this but the red/green is referring to the 'sell' mercenaries prices.

So +25% is good for rat when selling as they are making army not buying them. The wolf +15 is actually considerably bad for buying. Marten has -5 for mercenaries resulting in significantly higher buying power.

tldr: plus merc bonus good for indy/selling. minus merc bonus is good for buying/leader.

Nice hot take there, far more eloquent than my assumption that was about the color coding being off~

• windhound: Round reset, signups off for a min.  I have most of the round changes written but 's probably a good idea to test it

• Uiblis: ya balance is for sure something im looking to tackle

• Uiblis: though I also think the game is pretty daunting and unintuitive to pick up for a new player

• Uiblis: i personally feel like one of the toughest parts is the lack of cohesiveness that drives any feeling of improvement

• Uiblis: you just kind of fritter away turns until someone teaches you some basic strategies, but I want that to lead to more interactive, emergent gameplay

• JesterAverageJoe: I know this has been something a number of very intelligent, & exceedingly perceptive developers have been trying to figure out for years. Makes me wish there wasn't so much bad blood between the different communities & circles, so that maybe a mature discussion could be shared~

• windhound: One of the coolest thing about RWL in the beginning was there was no meta.

• windhound: Everyone was sorta flailing around, so it didn't take much to be average at the game when most everyone was terrible at it.

• windhound: Now it's basically like joining a CS or Halo server that's been up for years, those left playing have super optimized strats and it's tougher to just jump in.

• JesterAverageJoe: in a way, I feel like one of the only ways to marry the Prom functions w/ mobile interfaces would be to have some 3rd party/intermediary java program... Certainly not ideal where entry is concerned~

• Uiblis: nahh

• Uiblis: prob just rebuild the whole ui from scratch in react/react native and overhaul the look while im at it
  March 31, 2021, 09:22:30 PM
• Uiblis: never liked the ui, it was messy af and didnt distill the important info out
  March 31, 2021, 09:22:55 PM
• Uiblis: been writing a lot of rust recently so might give that a shot for the backend
  March 31, 2021, 09:23:23 PM
• Uiblis: either way theres 0 chance i use any existing code
  March 31, 2021, 09:23:59 PM
• Ryu: You should sign up this round Uiblis. You run a pretty mean wolf from what I remember.

• windhound: Sorry if the site's a little flakey today guys, ASO is having issues with their nameservers.  I've put a fix in, but DNS propogation can take a few hours.
