So the current game has nearly every personally-owned stat being reset every three days, and the only non-resetting stat (Legacy) doesn’t do anything very much. In the words of retired-Emperor Cuddlebeam on the BlogNomic Slack channel, “I designed the generation thing so that there wouldnt be a way to stockpile wealth and make it too daunting for newcomers but it was interesting to see how nihilistic the game can become in a situation like that lol “Why do anything””

With Legacy distributed at 5-2-1-1-0 we’re now unlikely to see a victory condition being voted through based on it, and it feels as if the stat was broadly being given out at random anyway, it mostly being a reward for being lucky enough to get some good genes and then being lucky enough to get good Hunting rolls (or lucky enough for Foraging to pay off when your rivals made unlucky Hunting rolls).

I was halfway into a proposal to speed up the NGEs and create some kind of a Legacy win, but if all current stats are almost random, whatever we come up with is in a lot of senses starting from scratch. Should we just start a new dynasty, with an active Emperor, instead?
