These threads make me sad because of the potential of how rad it could be.

What it COULD be:

>Nations form based on their strengths and locations-one will have fucktarded amounts of iron for equipment industry, one horses, one food, and so on
>Coastal nations can control a lot of trade or travel if they have claimed lands around the coast
>Landlocked nations will have roads and forts
>Nations will war each other based on having something to actually gain from controlling each other-one might conquer another for easy food or industrial resources
>Government and "politics" with players meeting to talk shit at a formal level


What it ACTUALLY is:
>Everyone just figures out where everything is then finds a way to reproduce those resources at their base
>"aesthetic" buildings and then memewalls surrounding them
>constant memes and cancer in chat
>Two big factions emerge: Admin team and Memeraiders
>Buildfags build a town then vanish forever
>Memeraiders randomly kill people, trade is defunct, it's just a deathmatch

I remember an older one, maybe 2 or 3 iterations ago, seeming to be on the edge of actually being a cool nation sim shit.

There was essentially a little faction in Ireland which was largely involved in a lot of the other politics but they made a nice village and had a fuck tonne of food, wool and horses.

Eventually they created a port, and agreed to trade with other nations. Everyone treated them like walled-up barbarians but soon enough they supplied my town with most of our food while we were fighting another town, and supplied everyone with wool of any colour.

They lasted a long time until the leader went missing and memeraiders destroyed their shit.

Can I join you? Is the server pirate-friendly?

The annoying part is that a lot of the infrastructure for that kind of gameplay is there. I remember I set up a kingdom in North-West India once(Punjab + Kashmir). It was pretty small mostly because /int/ poo memes drove most people away. I remember mining and finding ridiculous amounts of Lapis. More lapis I'm sure, than anywhere else. Now if there was actually a use for lapis there could be something to gain. Instead I just made blocks that I adorned on the walls of my fort. I had 3 or 4 forts throughout my country, and I had a road to each one. Another person came along and after a while of being neighbors we joined our two nations together.

The problem was that there was nothing to do. People talked about diplomacy on the forums, but there was none. This was no consequence of being somewhat isolated(though I'm sure that helped). People simply turned to war or fighting all the time. There was no such thing as treaties or the like. Trade was nonexistant because people thought it was easier and safer to get stuff on their own. Memeraiders would randomly slaughter whole towns of newfags, and leave.

Personally I feel like the server doesn't do enough to encourage an interesting game. They allow memeraiders to thrive even though killing a bunch of people is effectively a declaration of war. That's not to say that I don't want people fighting, in fact I'd love groups of bandits or pirates or nomads raiding areas. But when the whole premise of your game that you advertised as a civilization "simulator" is actually just building, fighting, and repeat, then there is a problem.

And they wonder why a single iteration will barely last more than 4-6 weeks if even that much.

I know.
They have this huge, wonderful map.

I know memeforests can be fucking annoying but if claimed they work as excellent natural barriers and borders.
The potential is great and could be one of the best "simulate a bunch of nations" game around.
Reasons involving the world can be:

>Forests will SEVERELY slow down attackers
>Rivers make a good defending point
>Time and place makes a huge difference in fights

Trade could be great, if they figure out a way for certain nations to struggle for certain items.
There's really hardly a limit to possibilities of cool shit to happen, and personally I feel admins need to enforce more world-interactivity to keep newfags around or else they just feel intimidated/bored and leave.

what a bullshit Carthage and Rome had a shitton of actual diplomacy

Literally all they'd need to do to prevent this is remove the ability to attack townspeople in towns you're not at war with.

>>1812090
that is true, seconded

That was your own fault, should have had him conscripted and participate in a war first, and made sure he was supervised.
