Runs the risk of badly suffering from “the rich get richer”, though the “need to feed your manuls” could be used to combat that. The real issue is that if you don’t log in for a day, you lose all your dudes.

Well, I thought about defining a day similar to Cycle in southpointingchariot’s Dynasty.

When you have more than certain amount of Manuls, you can’t keep them long since you run out of CW.

In SPC’s dynasty missing a cycle hurt, but it didn’t kill everything. Also if you redefine a day, you break a lot of other parts of the ruleset that refer to the concept of a “day”.

I might miss a day here and there.

That’s why I didn’t redefine it. But I do need a 2 CW per day per Manul loss since otherwise rich gets richer. Could you suggest a better way to introduce this?

make it automatically deducted? you are automatically killing them off afterall…

to this. Should change it to an automatic system, or at least allow feeding in advance.

Agree, then this will be reproposed later with something like “As a daily action, each Manul drinks two Bottles with Cursed Water unless a Farmer owning him prohibits it. If a Manul hasn’t drunk 2 CW during a day, he dies. Manuls wearing an Amulet drink first”.

Or you may do it as well :)

Well, then thinking about it, should the automatic action be a bit more complex: breeding as much as possible, selling newborn Manuls and then feeding?

Feeding in advance also seems a good idea :) But you have to know when you’re going to be absent, which is not always possible.

I mean, there is a difference between ‘you don’t do and you fall behind’ which is bad, and ‘you don’t do this and you lose everything’ which is unplayable. I think automating feeding, and making is so that if they die you sell them first would probably solve some of the problems. still not completely sold on the whole idea though. Just seems very grindy without much purpose. If you sell all your babies, you expect to get 7M/4 CW back where M is the number you started with, so unless you have more CW sources you expect to lose some each time which isn’t stable, and if you add more CW sources you make you quickly hit a point where people will start making exponential profits.

S/K

Actually the sell price should probably be 6, not 7. So that the optimum manul count is 6: when they breed, the average babies count is 2, and selling them allows to feed the 6 Manuls. With 7, that number is 14 which is probably bad :D

Also maybe I should share some ideas so that the stuff can be proposed quickier
