Hey bud, I remember you from the pdox forums. Its nice to see you are still going on. I also became a programmer and its a real hard to work with different forks, if you know what I mean wink wink nudge nudge.

Stay strong friend, message me on pdox forums, maybe we can play something together and talk about programming.

Cheers,

If meaning plants, it's over 7k. If meaning political tech, it's over 300 variants. If meaning social advances, it's over a million. If religion, it's over 5,000. If talking about governmental, it's over 9,000 variants. If talking weaponry, there's at the moment only 14,000 types. If talking economic goods, there's over 90,000.

That's just an example of "trees" that I utilized in past to throw people off of what I'm really working on. I mean most games use technology "trees" and like so I just utilized same terminology to describe research I did at the time. Truthfully, I enjoyed the Arbor research as much as others.

I hope this answers your question.

Yo! What's the current number of trees researched?

Good luck

Hello all,

As promised I would be doing a forum only update and an exclusive update for the members of the forum. I am currently doing as this straw poll wanted. Majority of people wanted in one way or another for me to work on my own games instead of trying to mod others. So I am taking that to mean that most want to be able to play a series of games from paleolithic era onward. Thank you goes out to those that did that poll and I will be conducting more of those later. That being said, I also have a inventive new way of doing high scores(not even really a scoring system needed ) Besides all that, I am still working on many aspects that I dont at right now have liberty to talk about. But I will show you a possible code axample for a difficulty level :

IF (setting is set to A) {
use simple file A;
Use simple file B;
Use simple file C;
Use simple file D;
(list goes on)
}

IF (simple file A) {

Use economic model simple; - another file
Set Resources = stone, wood, food, metals, gems, animals;
}

Thats All I am able at this time to release But should give idea on a few things, if work out well in testing shall be new and inventive. Remember though only part that is 100% correct is set resources =. Everything else is vague or subject to extreme changes. Thank you for your time...

Only members may take part as per poll I did a few weeks ago. I apologize if this limits the amount of people that want to take part. The Forum RP will start as soon as I get everything laid out like I did for the last one, Alot more technologies and possible GUI for the tech tree, alot more items, more modifiers, etc. This RP will be made just like the game and WHILE the game is being coded. The RP is scheduled at this time to end around time I get an release build 0.9 done for the true testers of the games. each day is a season and it will go for 250 years(750,000bc-749,750BC) just like the eventual game. So that comes to be around 1,000 days or around 3 years... There are going to be surprise events, maybe a text game or few placed in the RP eventually to see if people like it(instead of actual text go to the text game and place your choices)...

Alot of things are planned for this RP, Come take a part and make the RP more enjoyable and the more feedback(as per having board for feedback) the better the eventual games will be. Yes I said 3 years of development from start of RP, but the eventual first game may only take a year and half... but there is alot of mechanics I can test for patches. I will not be doing DLC/Expansion packs. All Patches will come free for previous owners and new owners will pay for the new data in the price.

Honestly I believe this RP will be the greatest yet and more immersive of them all, both in terms of gameplay and actually changing the games before they are completely done/released.

Have Great one,
Drew

I am wondering if anyone is interested in starting a new RP along same lines as the last one. I will be running it with help from my wife and maybe a friend of mine.

The setup will be the same but with some twicks and such to make it more game like. Does this sound appealing to anyone? I am asking as per signups will depend on interest.
