Ara: History Untold | Dev Q&A | Ep. 7

[@emstorm1725]

Nice to have a true earth map coming. Thank you!!!

[@alexnderrrthewoke4479]

Yewssszzsss

[@davidhole8175]

So thrilled about the true earth map. It would be amazing to have realistic resource locations as well but I'm sure a modder could cover that. You've done a cracking job here! Keep it coming.

[@TheSwiftFalcon]

That was a great QA, with some very nice sneak peaks at 1.1 features. :-D I've been enjoying Ara since alpha. It is completely it's own thing and stands out from all other games I've played in the genre. While it is already a lot of fun to play, it also has a lot of room for expansion and improvement. 1.1 is looking really good, and I am excited how it progresses. :-)

[@ClubeCulturaGamer]

Hello Community! Is there any way to open "photo mode"? Something like hidden all the interface to watch the map like we can see on this video: 08:39 .

[@Dav1ski]

Marvellous game, thank you for thoses explanations and looking forward to playing with update 1.1 and level-up units.

[@acer3573]

RE: Map seeds (around 8:50) Can you view map seeds after a game start, not just at the generation screen? If not that should be added.

[@charliecordes3532]

I've been wanting this too. It's not super useful to show our map seeds, if we then don't get to keep it, if that makes sense.

[@TremblingQualifier]

Thank you! I like the comments about food. It would be nice to have more food amenities so that can serve as bait for new players to specialize in food, but also give players more flexibility in what they are making.

[@EstrellaViajeViajero]

So - all the player feedback has been redundant because everything the players have asked for was already planned but just didn't make it into launch...? That seems ... unlikely.

Very excited about the true earth map! Another fine addition would be nukes ^_^

[@avocadoarmadillo7031]

Woo! Well done

[@EstrellaViajeViajero]

World Age is a map setting in Civ. Ara doesn't have it (though I have been asking for settings to control amounts of rivers and mountains in Ara's Discord).

[@mohammed-pl8zt]

Micromanagement of every farm and mine in my huge empire is a chore.

[@DiavloPL]

Research rate should scale to number of turns chosen for a game, Currently its impossible to play more than 500 turns before top research is hit. The whole idea of mor turns per game is to play more in specific ages, so the research rate should scale with number of max turns.

[@TheRuzenqures]

True map is good but I hope terra map mode for map generation will be available at later down the line as well

[@StrategyInformer-sjgold]

1.1 is going to be very important for the game and ratings. It needs to hit soon and hit a home run. While about 37lk copies were sold this is very low compared to 90k for Millennia and 200k for Old World. (steam launch for old world was over 100k units) I really like where its going but I am afraid that if 1.1 is a dud you are not going to recover. (numbers are medium estimates of the Berket Formula)

[@nonpatriot8863]

When you are crafting the plus sign in the box should turn green when there is resource available that can be used in that slot and maybe the border of the box turns yellow when a resource can be replaced with something else. Not sure if just having a national economy screen is going to solve this annoying issue.

[@maddog5458]

I love this game but could someone please put in the map edge scrolling for navigation. I'm surprised more people are not raising this issue since it makes navigating the map so much easier. I don't know where to go to tell the Dev team so I'm kind of lost on making my voice heard. Two other 4X games that I purchased did not originally have this function but the Devs later on put it into the game. I'm not sure why gaming developers suddenly stopped using this.

[@ugur9138]

Technology is advancing so fast that there is no time for anything. I'm ignoring special buildings to train AI. In the game, the balance between construction and building and the increase in the desire of people to multiply extremely quickly is very bad and overstraining, there is no time for anything. 😢

[@owowhatsthis....3025]

This sad trend is rising back after civ 3 and Call of Power 2. More speed run History less Epic. Legend and Mystery need Time. I still remember the must I played Call of Power 2 and Civ 2 it was so Memorable.

[@tomasalem]

This is a great game, no more Civ for me, keep it up

[@simonbeaudoin2276]

true start location on earth map and more cities wow awesome! +++

[@Didius13]

Great Q&A! Loving the game and super excited for the update.

[@Graun]

The game undoubtedly required additional development time. The UI requires significant reworking, or the game risks failure before it even has a chance.

[@torrvic1156]

Hopefully guys will polish the game and make it shine. Start of Millenia was rough too but now this game became way better. Hopefully the same will happen with ARA.

[@moisesalmonte8271]

There are some things they should fix but the game has great potencial

[@matthewhoag9892]

Wild to have such a big mechanic (religion) and just have it buried and hidden

[@negaodaescuridaojoshadenir3932]

Finalmente mapa da terra ,sentir falta de um sistema para vassalagens ate agora foram 300 horas de diversão .

[@darkmetalscorpian]

Steven Bell! I follow him on tiktok!

[@hamidious]

Please allow military units to upgrade

[@Guderidin]

Looks like Matt didn't even have time to shave between last time and now

[@brianbrunt3636]

Still too much screen bloat. Basically, it's a mess.

[@metatron4804]

can i play God mode , can I play 10 players at once? something like Rise of Nations

[@moisesalmonte8271]

The game need to upgrade the graphics a little bit

[@EstrellaViajeViajero]

The Gathering Hall falls off over time. The Town Halls are very nice and the Gathering Hall starts to be somewhat lame. I'd rather use the space for another building in later acts.

[@owowhatsthis....3025]

Very disappointed about the state released is like so often it's in early access phase then 1.0 game. I hope it's cooked until next year.

[@maximuscryptosx9424]

Game is mid, nice try 5.5/10.4 months util civ 7!!! Thanks Sud
