That's why wild dogs are far more dangerous than wolves. Wolfs kills for surviving. A wild dog kills for sports/fun. But indeed like you said, didn't lose many ppl while hunting or being attacked by raiders/animals.

sebastian boender this was a Witcher inspired comment wasn’t it? the hunter in white orchard

I once had 50 dogs in ancient warriors hardcore lol 😂

Everyone pees on them anyway. They’ll be fine.

If they aren’t, they should be!

LOL good catch

If you can plant wheat you dont need to hunt or gather anymore

I found that I still need leather for sleds and having the meat and bones is also useful. Also having the gathering of berries, fruit, and nuts can be a good buffer against starvation.

Gates can be reinforced / barred both ways. And they weren't standing behind the gate, he locked them out so they were confused about how to get back in and their ai is a little derpy. Place the gates however you want. It literally does not make a difference

Interesting - good point.

That's... actually really smart. Good thinking.

for some reason all gates everywhere (in fortifications) open inwards, or maybe your IQ is higher than everyone through the ages...

@@agostinho6550 hinge engineering back then would have left the hinges exposed if the gates swung outwards so instead of thinking of a better hinge solution they just swung the gates inward to hide the hinges internally.

I'd go play Planetbase if you haven't already. It's probably on sale somewhere cheap. It's a lot of fun and very similar in style and feel. It's more of a gentle time than a tough time with lots of variety and challenge. I like it for that, but others don't. Have a go!

@@TinyPirate Ive just moved and dont have my PC yet... all I have is a very basic pc from a friend that cant handle games, so all I can do is watch videos of games haha.

Ahhh - go watch a couple of my later Planetbase episodes? I do some of the challenges in there and also play some of the "hard" worlds. I imagine we'll see much the same.

From the game play on video I believe that after the first run it would be more of a challenge to running through the tree 1) without making so many mistakes 2) faster 3) skipping certain developments between ages. Here are some ideas I had that require the game to test out. A) develop a network of hunting camps when the animals spread out of 3-6 individuals who gather sticks and build drying racks for meat and skins with local sticks. The raiders seem to attack on the same limited number of axis so this could also result in a layered defense system for you main agrarian central location. Specialize in crafting at the central location where resources are deposited. I was wondering if you can assign work parties together i.e. you three guys are hunter take there best weapons and axes. It appears that if you let the AI assign people you get villagers with a knife trying to kill a bison because they were close. B) build a new town during each age located near where the key resources for the age are located. So for example Find a good location to spread out several farm fields and then locate a town there when you develop farming. Build the village for expansion and then the new tech building for the age. This would also solve the space problem that occurs after generations of tech huts are competing for the same space in a town. The key her is as a heuristic I would settle each town with twice the people that the raider groups come in with, i.e. 10 raiders then settle the new location with 20 people. The question this implies is can you assign villagers to a home location? C) Since there are a variety of starting locations I image that each has it's unique challenges. Since everyone so far on video seems to be choosing the same location I am curious what other locations have to offer ? Salt near the sea perhaps

I'm on my first play through... not sure I'll bother with a second.

Crossrider Gaming FPS Had a stroke reading this.

if its to far away your humans will starve to death on the way there while building it also you might need to have a series of wells

Yeah, my first batch of goats bred like rabbits. I learned to set the critter limits a bit below my actual maximum tolerance, to allow for occasional delays in slaughtering (e. g. during the all-important planting and harvesting peak times).

Aren't you able to set limits now? Idk if you could 3 years ago but I'm pretty sure you can limit your animals now

Lol doh!

It happens on my audio :(

Sounds like radio interferences

@@TinyPirate Make sure your microphone cable does not route very close to your video display (especially CRT type) or anything with high voltage signals.

OH! That's rotating the buildings! Built in sound.

Not sure. Good question tho. Once I am done with the Iron Age, I’ll find out!

Exactly!

@Thelondonbadger what a moronic series of sentences. you based all of that on absolutely nothing.

@Thelondonbadger yes, doors open inwards, but its not for the random made up reasons you just described.

Get out

I removed him.

Ahoy!

I totally agree. I would like to see RP Dawn of Man. To introduce not only religion. These people didn't just work and pray to big rocks. They were amazing artists too. The crafting would have had specialists, some that learnt flint napping, some that learnt tanning, and a food based economy. And there would be shamans, there would be the strongest, most fearless warriors and hunters. They would be singing, dancing, playing on primitive instruments like eagle-bone flutes, bullroarers to also communicate at long distance. They didn't have bows until one and a half thousand years ago, so more realistic tecs would be atlatls to increase the powers of javelin-trowing massively. Axes were not just for cutting down threes and hollow out wood-boats, but finely polished ones and decorated beautifully were the main weapon a warrior had in close combat against enemies. Objects greatly treasured and surely worth lots of meat, but also decorations at special, religiosly significant places, like caves and bogs, that was thought of as the entrance to the underworld.

Oh heck. Hmm. You may be right! I will ask the devs and let you know!

On the hardest difficulty the raiders advance in technology at their own pace and pose an actual threat. That being said, i think they should have their own bases that you get to attack.

"Pique". It's a funny one, but comes from a word meaning " to prick " I.e. to arouse one's interest. Today's advanced English class

But i really like my hill :(

Yeah - it's a thing lol.

Culture is what this game needs religion Ancestor veneration Shamanism Totemism Anamilism These can provide moral and stat boosts if provided correctly and with the indroduction of social structures But if these are the same developers of planet base and I don’t think their willing to experiment so close to release

True. I tried that and 2/3 of my people starved or died of hypothermia running between the 2 towns. This game's AI is dumb like a bag of hammers

the game is actualy quite colorful, summer winte spring and autumn all look quite different

GPU control panel - shaders on. Aliasing settings upscaled.

I just send a group of raiders to "help out" 😈

Hmmmmmmm. No I don’t think so. Cut back on work areas?

@@TinyPirate Found it ! It's the 7 key

Build towers they will automatically man them when you sound the alarm it also helps to do alarms before ever being attacked the villagers will arm themselves saves lots of time when it's real

@@Matt-wm1bf yeah I know, but that`s about it. no more defences than that

@@amEricaneurOstar yeah I know what you mean they could use a patch with more people control and some more defensive options.

It really does. They drive more views (seriously, lol).

For streamers/tubers only. Available for the public in March.

aaaand a dog just killed a wolf with two bites hahahaha

Cranky69 it’s 20$ and I got more gametime in it in 4 days than $60 games I’ve had months. They obviously know what they’re doing

How many more updates did Planetbase need? It got expanded on for six months or so - it's a gentle $20 base-builder. Not sure it would have made sense to keep adding to it.

You can also drag and select a while bunch of animals and it let's you choose to tame the ones that can. I've been able to select a group of animals all at once and press the tame icon and they will tame all the young animals in the group and leave the others. Smart game
