Little girls as new NPC type
So far the only children in the villages have been boys, and now the work has been started to feature little girls as a new NPC type. For starters it's a bunch of in-game definitions to do, creature generation code to tweak, pixel art to draw and NPC portraits to come up with. After that we'll give all the children NPCs physical and mental attribute checks to better differentiate their abilities from adult NPCs. See, currently the combat skills and bravery of the children may occasionally reach the level of fearless grown warriors. All in all the newly introduced children will be significantly weaker and more vulnerable to harm than previously. A new post about all that attribute, morale and behaviour mess may follow later on after all the groundwork and pixels are first put in order. January 31, 2021, 04:29:27 PM |

Re: What's Going On In Your Unreal World?
It is actually quite difficult to reach the item limit. I'm a *ridiculous* hoarder, and I'm trying to build a village (a creepy ghost village with no one living there, granted...) I solved the issue by moving my main hoarding building about twenty spaces west, which put it in the next square, and moving some of my many fields north, also to the next (different from the first) square.

Putting Out Fires
Title. Currently, afaik, the only way to stop a fire from spreading along a fence or a wall is to deconstruct any wooden structures in the fire's path. We should be able to put out fires by standing next to the fire with a container full of water, "a"->apply the tub/skin/etc. and have this either reduce the fire's size or put it out entirely, depending on how much water was in the container.

Re: Every now and then...
... some folks and even spam-bots want to know how to humanely harvest, kill, their intended source of animal protein. Ahaha maybe what I write will be unrelated to the post, but you are right. I have seen many spam bots signing like theessayservice who pretend to be very into community interests. That is funny. EDIT by Erkka: word "theessayservice" was actually posted as a link to the said service, exactly the way spambots do. I must admit that I find this funny, too. Although I'm not completely sure if this is beyond absurd

Children attribute adjustments
And then some adjustments to children attributes, to be in effect in the next patch. Previously children NPCs didn't differ all that much from the adults, but now their physical and mental attributes have been checked and adjusted. In general children are now weaker and more vulnerable to physical harm. But even if they lack the strength and endurance of the adults the level of some attributes eg. dexterity and agility can surprise sometimes. Children may sometimes choose to participate in fights if their village is threatened, but in general children are now more eager to flee upon serious danger. Boys are often slightly more eager to fight than girls who wisely rather run to alarm adults, and even the neighbouring villages if need be. Combat skills of the children have been also checked and adjusted to quite inferior level. The lack of strength is now seen especially with their unarmed combat skills. If they land a kick or punch there's not much power in it. Armed with a knife or so they may cause some proper wounds, but in general children rarely pose a real threat anymore.

Skervaldr, the Remi hunting trial
Hi everyone, this is my first post in the forum and Unreal Wolrd Story too which I am very excited about  I hope you are enjoying this great game as much as I doo. I played a little the tutorial and then with the Unreal World mode, for no advantages/disadvantages, I am having hard time and not getting a long game but enjoyed a lot the time playing it  Let me tell you my story and may be you can give me some tips for improve my self Please, exucuse my poor english knowledge  ----- Pour yourself a drink and sit with me for a while near the fire while I tell you the story of: SKERVALDR Profile of this strong member of the Remi tribe Spoiler: show Good knowledge of the tribe tipical skills for an epic journey Spoiler: show Bear rituals knowledge which inspirated this story Spoiler: show With 16 winters it's time for the young Remi to demonstrate to his village and his self too his skills as hunter spending some weeks in the wild alone, returning with a big game prey to complete his initiation as hunter. In the morning an experienced explorer ties a strip of cloth to impossibilite the viewing of the probing member and he is abandoned with only few season adequated clothes, a knife a staff and some food for two or three days, at a long distance of the village, only telling him in what direction he has to back only after his test is completed. Location Spoiler: show Few things are admited to get attempt the trial Spoiler: show His first thought just after it begins was about the insecure he found his self, he didn't know well the region, as the herbs or the animals which can live there. Taking a look at the weather it seems that will rain soon so he will need a refugee to pass the night, may be some branches for making a fire to warm his self and prepare some jabalins for hunting the next day. Each hour counts in the wild and must think what is a must for first, so taking a fast look around, the trees are completly known for him, it's possible creating a primitive rope from the birch bark after soaking with water, so he peeled a pair of trees having enough for a rope to tie a fallen trunk and a stone to improvise a stone axe. The extra bark can be used for tanning a hide in the next days. Looking a bit at the unevenness of the terrain he decided to go straight to the north trying to find an open mire where can be acumulated water of the rains or a river, both places would ve useful to see the danger at some distance or cover a flank which is more secure than stay in the deep forest. After two hours walking collecting some branches for later, finally he encountered a plain with some natural water pools and some bird drinking there, he thought it would be a good location and prepared the rope and the stone-axe, he drinked the clear water of the pool and ate some bread and meat, after that he and cutted down some young spruces for making a little shelter. Preparing the refugee Spoiler: show He fell down tired before finish the first half and felt that his adventure gonna be harder than which he first thought, as soon as he woke up, he noticed that the rain stopped but he was totally soaked and a little hungry again, so made a campfire with some branches that were dry under the shelter and dried the clothes and using the knife the sharpened the staff and hardened with the fire, had for breakfast some toasted bread and a piece of smoked meat, noticed then that he will be running out food very soon. One jabaline is not enough for hunting a big game and he will need to gather fast food before going to that, so he walked in spiral form arround the shelter as he learnt from the Remi hunters a little distance without entering the deep forest searching for some berrys to beat a possible light lever trap which can be easily done cutting some trunk, branches and a big stone. Only found some unknown mushrooms which may be edible, but unsure abuot that, and some berries but definitly definitly not ripe yet so he decided to set traps over the berry fields instead of putting a fistful of them as bait, he did that in three different berries and diferent places too for covering more possibilities. Tried to hide and spear a bird two times but failed the throws, so spent the rest of the day preparing two more jabelins for the big game hunt. While exploring in the highest part of the hill he spoted a village and thought may be he can work for food or may be trade the jabelines for some food, but while he was standing there he spotted a bear in the distance, and decided: He don't wanna be an idiot who dies poisoned eating mushrooms in the forest, and he didn't started this journey to commerce for food, may be for some metal tools that i can't craft but not for food, he thought that eating it's an essential need and he must to be able to satisfy his self, so he choosen his way, he decided to hunt the beast right now! After hours of tracking the bear he was exausted and lost the tracks, so he decided to wait in the hill to spot him again, but after two hours of nothing, he decided to rest a little in the wild hoping hear something near which can be dangerous but patience for hunt is a must, but he failed, again and fell asleep all the night so and noticed nothing. Anyway and reconsidering it, he thought that he was starting to doing stupid things cause his hunger and he had to think faster and solve this situation as soon as possible, taking a look in the surroundings he spotted a river not very far away, he decided to check the traps first and if are clear try luck fishing, as he thought nothing was caught, as them were not baited, so walked to the river, but while walking he spoted a bear shape in the woods again and the adrenaline runned again from his body, wielding strongly the jabelin suddenly ran there. He lost the tracks again and one more time thought had to stop being so impulsive, he was satarving and resigned continued the walk to the river, may be sticking to the last plan will be the best, when arrived the river he sppoted a little settlment in the other side which can't cross easily and tried to to find a fjord without deep water because he was really tired In the fjord he spotted a badger and throwed a jabelin without thinking it two times, but failed and it fleed throug the forest while he was trying to follow him with another jabelin in the hands, finally he turned back and watched a capercaille just there, so tried to get it and executed a steady throw but failed again! He screamed to intimidate it which broken the stealth and the bird tryed to fly away but he thrown his last jab which finally, pierced his torax and the capercaille fell in the ground, he ran to pick the jab with all my forces to point his skull with it, and finally did it, he lost two jabs in the dark of the night but got the first prey ready to hide the skin and butcher the carcas to eat it tonight so backed to the shelter to roast the capercaille cuts, drink some water and rest a little for the next day. Hunting the capercaille Spoiler: show Finally got the first prey, not a big one, but proud of it Spoiler: show Near the base he found a young bear smelling my things and I scared him, he ran away as soon as noticed me screaming and moving my jabelin. He didn't want to kill the little one, as it can't provide him enough food or leather with his life, and we must respect the forest, so left him and prepared a campfire soon to keep the bear mom away from the camp while he tans the skin because the smell of the raw meat may attract more dangerous animals. He spent the next two days finishing the hideworking and polishing with water and a stone a nice club for beating the hide in north of the camp where are some big fallen trees whic can be used as working bench, during the long process of preparing the hide he spotted some wild animals, it looks like feline, a white fox and some capercaille more flying there, may be some raw meat would attract the bear to the camp when he was prepared more jabelins again. All the effort results in little piece of leather which isn't enough for making a pair of socks that he wanted but may be enough to craft some cords which are useful to craft a primitive bow which can be helpful hunting some birds since he can't bait the traps but got enough feathers for preparing 5 or 6 arrows. He decided to get some food for next days and earn time to prepare the hunting kit, so he gone for a walk and managed to hunt a squirrel that he found in a lonely pine but destroyed the skin and failed to hunt a couple capercailles, even he fell in a water pool while running though the mire and stoped to prepare a campfire since the water was chilly that day. Trying to complace the spirits and call the good luck sacrificed the squirrel to the spirits. His reserves of food gone away again and he tried to fish something in the river but after several tries in different spots in the river he didn't managed to catch nothing with that crude jabelins, then he tried in the lake where the water are calmed, but with the same result. He was starving again and he had no forces to throw more jabelines to the capercailles and foxes that crosses his way accidentally and waste his forces losing their tracks every time he follow them to the deep forest. Then seems that the sacrifice was returned the favour when he encountered again the young bear and he thought it was a signal and anyway he had no alternative, he need to eat anything soon or he will die, so with his last forces stand one more time wielding the jabelin, thanked the spirits and respecting the animal the forest sent to him, prepared his self for hunting him, but again the fleed through the forest, and he decided to make a difference following and track him as far as he want to go. He lost his tracks after a long way and found his self on a hill, where he found that the back to the mire, so he ran there again i found the bear asleep in the night, he was ready for doing it this time and sneaked near him but he wake up and escaped, then from the deep of the forest, came to the mire a big bear. The hunter faces the big bear Spoiler: show He was exausted but thought we lived this adventure for that moment and only demanded the forest that who falls that night was for the pure survival of his self which can eat the other one, and his spirit would rest in the forest forever, if the bear falls he will hang up his skull in a tree for letting him reincarnate in another bear, else if the hunter falls he will feed the bear and his legend as the will of the forest favoured the greatest predator. The bear roared and charged to the hunter, he threw a spear which pierced his shoulder, the bear rages more and hitted the hunter taking him down, then tried to smash him but managed to dodge the paw and put on his feet again pick the jabelin, the bear standing on his feet attacked again and injured badly the hunters chest, he pierced the bear's paw getting him down but for a moment but his lash out again and Skervaldr lost his last jabelin, so drawed his knife to intimidate the bear, the animal recived a deep cut in the neck enough to cut his fat skin. But finally the bear hits the man's arm and he lost his knife in the dark, so he took his club to hit his skull but he bleeding and badly hurt, can't see well sightly hears the bear roar while giving him the final blow and throwing him to the ground. The bear looks very injured after the fight and can't gone away with his injured leg, and his neck bleeds more each time, so he falls some steps ago waiting for his death too in the rain while the night covers all the landscape with its black cloak. The hunted hunter Spoiler: show ....The Remi shaman told the tribe the visions he had in the smoke and how the brave hunter fought the great bear for the glory of the Remiilainen, their spirits now walk free in the forest and fight no more, instead of that they are friends and wander arround the plain of the trials guiding the new generation of Remi hunters.... ----- I hope you enjoyed my little story and it inspire your next ones .  Please tell me if you want how can I improve my gameplay and storytelling, since I am noob yet hehe or demand more stories if you want and I'll to do few more may be with drawings too or other images than the screenshots if you like it. ((Hope you not disturbed for letting me having some license in the character / lore background for a different or personal way of feeling the game)) Have a nice day!! February 06, 2021, 01:33:26 AM |

Re: You end the task confused
Usually it’s a tool of sorts. Handaxe or knife , maybe other utility items can go missing too. I guess it’s similar to getting Influenza; randomizer throwing “mishap” your way. February 06, 2021, 03:20:58 AM |

Re: Streaming UnReal World. Any advice and suggestions?
Most let’s-play videos benefit immensely from some narration. Accent doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t need to be annotated for each and every move, but generic, surprising and funny bits. E.g. “ok, got a good pile of furs tanned, maybe make a trip to the coast to barter for some nice tools/weapons”, get some dried meats from cellar, ”that should be enough food for the trip”, hit the road, see adventurer type in distance:”hmm, I wonder if that’s adventurer... or band of robbers, better stay at safe distance, don’t want to lose all these furs” and so on. Stuff that you as player think what you’re doing, going to do. February 06, 2021, 04:02:25 PM |

Foreign Traders’ trading and merchandise.
2 part suggestion to add flexibility and variations to Foreign Traders. 1st part, (possibly costly to implement, but with trading benefits applicable to villages too) When selecting items for trade, allow selection from all of the traders inventories. At the moment, we need to deal with each trader individually, and as the traders don’t offer “change” for more expensive furs, often wasteful and also IRL time consuming trying to juggle the bartering to 1) be accepted 2) not overpay for the goods. 2nd part, add Salt, also in smaller containers than bags to their offered goods. Birchbark boxes and baskets, possibly pouches (2-3lbs) and satchels 4-6lbs). Infrequently have them also carry and offer for sale period correct, foreign/exotic weapons: franciscas, Dane axes, langseaxes, winged thrusting spears, hewing or chopping spears ‘höggspjót’, barbed throwing spears ‘krókspjót’, halberds ‘atgeir’. As for skills needed/used: francisca and Dane are axe, langseax could use either knife or sword, all spears use spear, höggspjót and halberd: spear for thrusting, maybe axe for cutting, or KISS and only use spear. Maybe some peculiar plants too: carrots, lettuce (cabbages at least were in previously), hogweed, onions. February 07, 2021, 07:00:21 AM |

Re: My first bear.
i just spawned, i think i did the not all who wander are lost start 2 tiles down there was a bear so I dropped everything tied up pig and charged the bear with an axe in each hand i think i only got a bruise Speed+Agility = Dodge. And keep your thumbs up (that’s the Finnish version for ‘fingers crossed’) I spawned Janne Sartolainen with Unfortunate hunting trip. Spring start (always) Rough hunting knife, MW linen tunic and MW trousers, like whaaaat? I put points in knife, unarmed and bow, carpentry, hideworking. Track down the bear. Throw a rock at it. It aggroes. Charges. Throw another rock. Third. Step back. Slash with the knife for puny hit. Dodge. Slash again, miss. Dodge, nope. Mauled. Stand up, mauled again. Slash, miss. Dodge, nope: dead. LOL. And my other guys have taken several bears with no issues or minor wounds. Teppo *1, started in spring too. Went to help wounded adventurer, bear, boom. Ended up with both elbows busted at 81% wounds. He survived that and has killed 3 more bears since. He lives still though (I’m running Taneli *2 at the moment) *1 good sized dude, 223lbs, specced for sword, shield, spear. Managed to loot and trade for nearly full metal set. Well, full, not 100% condition. 4 bears. *2 pretty decent size at 190ish lbs, specced for knife, axe, bow, carpentry x2 (those fine/superior arrows.... mmm hmmm....) only MW spectacle helmet and boar leather cuirass so far. Looted 9lbs lamellar shin guards, not using them, not worth the penalty really. 2 bears. February 10, 2021, 06:39:36 AM |
