Interesting world generation
So I was rafting through islander territory and stumbled upon this... There's only two houses but there's like 7 people.. I wonder how they live there. Also before that I found a tiny settelment, not even in islanders territory that had only one old man and 2 houses.. Guess who took care of that establishment

Poems of the Fallen
Will post these whenever I get inspiration. Some refer to actual characters/character deaths I've had, some are more general. Frozen The spirits of autumn sang gently on the rain Easing my worries and easing my pain But ache and exhaustion had settled bone-deep So to autumn's sweet lullaby fell I asleep As I slept under open sky did sweet autumn me forsake For it was harsh winter spirits that drove me awake; Icy spirits whistling on a cold windy night left a thin blanket of snow on open mire wide Shivering and confused stumbled I 'round in a daze Unsure where I had been going, where from I came Confused and shivering in this unfamiliar place Could I barely remember my people and name Lost and forsaken in cold winter's lands Bare were my feet and bare were my hands So as I shivered and stumbled through open mire vast In my heart I knew this morning would be my last October 01, 2017, 08:11:37 AM |

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Drowning Ominous cracking heard a second too late Far out from the shore with my mind on a kill But the ice could no longer hold up my weight Just as the forest reindeer finally lay still Breathless was I from chasing after my prey Across two miles of forest and a mile of ice I had forgotten what my old man would say My mind had been on nothing but the bloody prize But 't was not a bloody prize but a price I would pay "It offends the spirits to bloody the ice in early spring--" I heard dad's voice in my mind as I felt my strength sway "--and 'tis surely your death the spirits will bring." (Yeah, that happened, a few characters back. Just as the damn reindeer died, it became morning, the ice grew weak and I fell through. And drowned.) October 02, 2017, 03:37:21 AM |

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Njerpez fallen He was a starving redshirt, oh, a Njerpez do I mean Hanging 'round my island's outskirts Unaware that he'd been seen So I took my fine broadhead and my longbow in my hands By nightfall would he be dead His stain cleansed off my lands He was a starving redshirt, oh, a Njerpez did I mean He bled out on the frozen dirt Where he's ever since been October 03, 2017, 07:02:40 PM |

Re: Poems of the Fallen
The (not-so-)sage Once I believed a sage had to be wise then I saw this fool standing on rather thin ice The ice broke and so fell he straight in Got frozen and soaked right down to his skin The bitter cold addled his quite feeble brain And he got so tired he could have slept in the rain Tired enough that on that spot fell he asleep And drowned in a puddle barely three inches deep.

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Of encounters unfortunate An immense bear did once cross my path the moment he spotted me, he got quite mad Swiped at my head with his enormous claw My eye started bleeding and limited what I saw The bear pursued me as I fled towards my home But after a while lost his aggression and started to roam between slender trees and bushes of berries so red I thanked the spirits the bear was no longer mad So I was all alone as I wandered the land had no dogs, no companions, when I encountered a band of Vagabond robbers, five were they and oh! No less than four of them were armed with a bow. No longer bleeding but still could I not see more than two-thirds of what was in front of me And the injured eye not only limited my sight The throbbing pain would also make it quite hard to fight So there were five robbers, four armed with a bow But they had not seen me so I hid and, real slow, did I inch back away from these uncouth men then when outside their presence I swiftly ran And ran and ran until my home was almost there Where I could recover from the wound dealt by the bear But, alas and behold, 't was not to be Less than a mile from my home a Njerpez encountered me October 14, 2017, 10:16:42 PM |

Re: Question for Sami
Hello there, I'm sorry to say but the reality is that there is no exact answer to your question. Development takes the time it takes, and at the moment it is nearly impossible to say if a version with marriage and children will be released in summer 2018 or in winter 2020 - that depends on so many unpredictable factors so that the only honest thing to do is not to predict. I mean, this is not because Sami doesn't want to tell - this is because Sami doesn't know, and he only can tell things he knows. So, okay, instead of saying "we are working on it", I will say: It is on the development list. November 05, 2017, 09:09:31 AM |

Re: "Spirit of the forest, I presume"
Quote I'd like to be able to have a more grounded, historical experience too. If I'm shooting lightning bolts at a level-25 domovoi, I might as well be playing ADOM. Well, at the very moment there (again) is an another thread where a player is actively trying to encounter a being which is supposed to be more or less 'supernatural' - and has difficulties doing so, for it isn't easy to find the right conditions to encounter such a being. I think that speaks of Sami's design philosophy - personally I wouldn't worry about the game turning into 'thow lignting bolts at magical creatures'-kind of high-fantasy. The 'supernatural' elements of UnReal World are, and will remain, elusive and hard to catch, and after all, we can't be exactly sure if they are mere hallucinations, a series of random luck, or possibly a prankster hermit playing tricks on the player character. Also, the way I see it, this actually is the historical experience. The pagan folks believed in these rituals having an effect, and they believed those supernatural entities to exists, and there were reports of people occasionally spotting those creatures. So we don't simulate the 1000AD world the way 2000AD scientist believe it to be, but we simulate the 1000AD world the way 1000AD folks probably themselves experienced it to be. No lightning bolts, though, they aren't a part of Finnish folklore =) November 07, 2017, 11:14:32 AM |

Re: Short Questions/Quick Answers
but still I think they were "toned down" to the point they are non-existant. Be that as it may, The last I've seen from Sami is what I put above. December 28, 2017, 10:12:10 PM |

An unexpected suprise
I went to check my long fence line with 5 trap pits on a narrow strip of land between two lakes today. I didn't have anything in my traps but out of the corner of my eye I saw a dead elk about 10 paces away. It was partially eaten but gave me a fine skin and 208 cuts of meat. How did it die I wonder? Bear? Wolf? Njerpez? Old age? I don't know but I do know I love this game. Thank you Sami! January 16, 2018, 07:48:35 PM |
