Others Strive: Conquest [v0.10.0] [Maverik]

[BeholdTheWizzard]

Hmm.....I want to be constructive but I'm not sure what to say.

The new time system feel clunky..requires a lot of micro. Perhaps it should go back to 1-day intervals..or 4 8-hour phases?
Improving some stats becomes a lot harder (charm increases only by using social skills, which fighters/mages might not have. And it's a tiresome way to increase, by manually clicking.)

Frankly automated jobs (like in SfP1) sound like a far better idea then this drudge of constantly making groups and micromanaging them.

I think it's primary purpose is so that species can interbreed. Giving breedsow to a Dragonkin(who have higher stats) for example will allow the children to inherit the stats from her and allow whatever species to be the father as well. Otherwise, only other dragonkin could breed with her.

I know. it's just, for the price of breeding sow you could get two to four other classes. In terms of utility, it's kind of subpar.

To make best use of breeder requires a lot of time and investment. So honestly, it's hard to justify the expense before.... pretty much anything else.

Breed Sow seems like a long-term investment to me. Probably worth it later in game development when there is a long-running plot to work through. Right now though, you're done with pretty much everything the game has to offer (unless you just keep grinding dungeons and whatnot) long before breeding becomes particularly useful.

So as of now how much content does this have compared to Strive For Power? Are there still pictures and whatnot for each character or it too early for that kinda stuff?

There is a completed prologue. There are pics for every character you meet. Current content ends when the prologue ends. But you can continue playing your story-mode game in sandbox style after you finish the prologue. Dev intends for you to be able to still play that save when new story content gets added in the next major release.

The star reviewers, mostly morons, fail to appreciate that the game is in an alpha/demo stage right now. It is not feature complete, and it's far from being story complete. Reviewing it as if it was is unfair. Comparing it to Strive 1, which is complete, on the basis of what features the sequel lacks is also unfair (and stupid). Current artwork for enemies are all placeholder (and taken/reused from Strive 1). The dev intends to have new art, but it's not a priority right now. More features and more story content are the priority.

The sequel has a much better UI, and the under-the-hood mechanics are better than in the original.

 

[Adlai]

If anything, the game seems more broken after the stealth patches.

So, I download the newest version and extracted it- loaded up a saved game, try to use a social skill and immediately, the game breaks.

I try starting a new game. Use praise. The game immediately breaks.

 

[AWolfe]

That 3.2c is still causing problems doesn't surprise me. It's been pretty messy as far as releases go. It's broken more stuff than it's fixed, tbh. I'll pass your report on to the dev on the Discord. Thanks.

EDIT: dev says he needs a save to track down your problem(s). Make sure that you have a save(s) from right before the game breaks.

Gotta love the one that says "do not trust the other 5 star reviews because they're fans", gives a 1 star rate because gameizbad, even tho it acknowledges that it's just a test/demo, but still, gameizbad.

Honestly, reviews should be disabled for awhile, as they don't help at all, since whatever can be said of the "game" is explained on the OP, or as last minute update on the latest comments.

Personally, I'm enjoying immensely the new features.
Sure, micromanaging the teams going here and there just to dig/cut some loot is kinda tiresome (and really, not much worth), but I guess at some point there's going to be some events tied to it (I think Mav said something like that).
Some profession need adjustments, and some others could be replaced entirely with actual useful classes/skills ... but again, since everything is just testing out, a "bad" profession/skill might turn out useful later.

If anything... the only thing I really dislike, is the awful artwork.
SfP had some... average level (to be polite), the other game (Stranded?) had great artwork (tho I hated everything else in that game), and this "sequel" is kind of a step back... the Dwarf "art" is so bad, I avoid going to the worker's guild as much as possible.

 

[AWolfe]

I mentioned the bad reviews to Mav a week or two ago. His reply was basically (paraphrasing): "I don't give a rat's ass what they say on F95". Anyone who cares about the sequel is going to be on his Discord, so anyone who's not...

Those of us that love this game, and I'm one of them, love it because of the gameplay. Not the art. Sure, better art would be nice. But the art would have to be much, much worse than it is to stop me from playing it. I just wish that he wouldn't break so much stuff every time he tries to fix something else. He's a decent game designer, but a good coder he's not. He's very responsive on his Discord and he listens to his Patrons (which is why I'm one of them).

 

[M1ssy]

look at my last post, I posted the cheat code, in other words scroll up a bit and you'll find it

used the code, but cant use the cheats how to get to them?

 

[Zaraz]

Just wanted to say... huge fan of both Strive games. Love conquest and I hope ya'all be having a such a great time as I have with it. Just thanks

 

[kryanBR]

dont you have a cheat?

 

[Anonymousnone]

used the code, but cant use the cheats how to get to them?

you need to be in the game not at the main menu, then it's basically the same as the first game, hopefully you understand what I mean by this

 

[regicide123]

So what's the timeline for the not-a-tech-demo release? Are they trying to have a full story done for release?

By definition until the main work of the core engine is done, which is hard to tell as a gamer.
Once they concentrate on adding flavor you are normally in the region of 0.1 upwards

 

[Hunterxsamu]

stuck at there anyone know how to make it unstuck?

Nice, guess I'll flip a coin on whether or not I should play it now then. I only discovered the last game like a couple of weeks before this showed up and it was awesome.

Scratches the old Slave Maker itch.

 

[BeholdTheWizzard]

Hmmm... an idea on how to improve the game:

1) you assign teams by simply clicking on a number in the slave list, assigning them a team number (Think Rimworld job priority)

2) you assign jobs/tasks to teams on a team level (example - mine, fish, extract resources from area, etc)

3) the team will auto-do the job, auto-picking best suitable candidate for each resource.

4) they will gather resources until they are full, then they return (team size and carry capacity matters). Stables can double carry cap?

5) for town jobs that don't require a specific world location, they will just do them.

 

[AWolfe]

Bear in mind that the game's dev does not read this thread. So you should make your suggestions on the game's Discord. You're just wasting your time and effort by posting it here.

 

[Swat10212]

Seem to be getting this error every time i attempt to praise anyone now, any help on how to fix it?

 

[AWolfe]

That's a problem that has been reported to the dev multiple times in Discord. He's aware of it and you'll just have to wait until the next hotfix is released. I don't know when that will be, but I'd bet sometime this afternoon/evening.

Oddly, only a few people seem to be having this problem. I praise often and it works just fine for me.
