General Suggestions

[ragerxplode]

• I noticed the Alpha 5 only consists of goblins It would be pretty neat If there were more threats/enemies (e.g: wolves, rogues, bandits etc).

• A more detailed profile for each citizen would be nice to get to know them (similar to watch dogs) and could be generated by a simple algorithm to keep it nice and personal

• Barracks/training facility to spawn/upgrade soldiers?

• Open to workshop for modding (similar to Garry’s Mod)

• Possible prespawned developments to form allies/enemies!!

• Able to control NPC’s during battle to control movement

• Heroes in troops with specific skill set

• Prespawned random monsters in each world to defeat and to obtain gold/exp as a cool side objective

• Ability to rename pets

• Breeding for pets/further elaborate pets for battle/more interaction

• Interior building view to see the inside of buildings

• Gamemode for friends? A LAN/Co op/ Multiplayer similar to a starcraft ish style mode

• Able to host server to play with friends

All of these things are on the to-do list, it’ll be a while, but I’m sure the dev team will get there eventually!

@ragerxplode

Interior building view to see the inside of buildings

This is already done.

@ragerxplode

Heroes in troops with specific skill set

Not sure about this one, maybe? But probably not. This game is more about large scale building and combat, rather than smaller squad/hero based combat.

@ragerxplode

Able to control NPC’s during battle to control movement

There’s been a lot of discussion about the combat system, nobody’s really sure what it’ll be like yet.

Yea I’m really concerned that it’ll turn out like a Clash of Clash type thing where It is AI dependent especially during combat… But anyway thanks for the speedy reply

One more!

• Cobblestone paths/wooden paths to spice the boring old green grass floor?

We will have roads soon!

From what I’ve seen, this dev team doesn’t like to disappoint, if their players don’t like the combat system, I’m sure they’ll work to find a middleground that works for everyone.

Alright thanks zippy is there any word on a map/minimap?

Hi @ragerxplode welcome to the community

I can’t see anything to add, zippy got it all.

Check out this out for a more throughout discussion about how different people think the combat should work.

Let's talk military!

The biggest topic of disagreement in my previous suggestion thread… … was on the subject of controlling your military units, and how best to go about that without making it too similar to an RTS. As such, I thought I’d make a new topic to discuss this in detail. I should point out that, unlike the above topic, I have no firm ideas on how best to go about this. 1. Unlimited Map Size Unlike Dwarf Fortress or Gnomoria, Stonehearth is planned to have maps that are effectively infinite in size. …

Also:

Combat waypoints

I have noticed once getting further into the game your village will get larger meaning you are spread over a larger span of the map. But when goblins attack certain parts of my village either the warriors are too far way from goblin threat to care about them stealing my wood(HA) or it is just the bug where warriors will not attack goblins even if they at standing next to each other. The citizens also do not attack the goblins if they are too far away from the problem or they go 1 at a time and …

Expanding the Future of Combat: Enter the Tactician!

Hello, everyone! This is my first post on the Discourse so far. I hope you find the discussion interesting and entertaining. With the recent posts and livestreams by the Stonehearth team, one thing has been particularly curious to me: how will combat work, and what direction will it be taken farther along in the developmental process? A key point that Tom and the others have made in their discussions is that they are attempting to avoid direct control of units, as they believe it would create t…

Military Control

How will we take control of the military units? Will there be something similar to Dwarf Fortress and Gnomoria where we can assign military units to a squad with their own specific commands, perks, and equipment etc? Maybe something larger or the ability to have squads of varying size depending on their purpose? Or will each unit be individually controlled? Or none of the above!

Ah, the Tactician… Good times. Still holding out for some variation of the concept in the future.
