"I was expecting the humans to go first." - RCE who forgot to give the humans a basic resource so they could keep growing

[@FluffyDragon]

I've watched like four youtubers play this game, and set up these exact scenarios. And I've not seen a single one not fuck it up massively, and/or give advantages to some sides near the end, ruining the experiment

[@rutnugget]

@@FluffyDragon Have you watched Gorg? He gives some advantages to dwarves though, since they always die early in his playthroughs lol. Despite that they still die early.

[@FluffyDragon]

@@rutnugget Can't say I have, no. A lot of the problem I think is cause the diff races want different things.. and almost everyone tends to start them with like.. flatland and trees and blah. I think Dwarves like mountains, so the entirely enclosed mountain start maybe helped them out in this one and why they ended up a bit stronger? I do find the experiment interesting, but finding a way to make it fully 'even' is pretty tricky

[@emmata98]

and then they were behind for a long time

[@roachbib]

the reason the humans could build a port is he gave them only oar and no stone. in the game the people need stone to make pickaxes then you can mine oar

[@bsnook981]

Man, the humans got screwed. They spent 100 years watching every else advance while they weren't given stone.

[@rokushou]

I would be interested in seeing how the AI fights each other with minimal to no intervention. Maybe create a RTS-like map with each race starting in a corner and resources scattered around the map in a way that incentivizes expansion. I wonder if the differences between races are enough to give them matchup advantages or the differences are so negligible that battles depend more on RNG.

[@Feuervix]

Orcs have a hunge advantage at the start since they're alot stronger and the First nation to get more land wins almost every time the Elves live for much more time and theyr army use mainly bows so they're op in the long run the dwarves are just trash and depends on the rng to win humans beat the orcs in the long run but still lose for the elves most os the times

[@rokushou]

As an american, I can honestly say that the majority of people here can't say the word "dictionary". Our voiceboxes are incapable of reproducing the sounds needed to speak Finnish, or Welsh, even Spanish correctly. ...but it's probably our americanness (yup, THAT'S english lol) that keeps us from taking the time to learn to pronounce an umlaut. Say Fruit. Now say Froooot, so the same but longer in the ooo part. That's ö. For those who had trouble, there ya go. :)

If anyone is actually wondering how to pronounce ö/ø it's usually either one of these [ø] [œ], it's pronounced the same way as the FACE and the DRESS vowel (respectively) but you round your lips and for the FACE vowel it would be only the first part of the diphthong not the so as a monothong, like the DRESS vowel, no /j/ = in yes.

[@dominic.h.3363]

The phonemes in burn, early, work etc., are all close enough to pass as an ö. Certainly a hell of a lot closer than just saying "fuck it, I'll spell it as an O".

Just suddenly felt like giving a short lessing in the letter Ö (or Ø, basicly the same sound but diffenrent countries). Its a vowel so you make the sound all the time in words like "word", "bird", "burn" and "stern" wich is all use the same vocal sound despite using both "o", "i", "u" and "e" in the english language, but these countries have just dedicated a letter for that sound so you can read it more phonetically.
