A restart button after a finished game would be nice. Also are some culture/nations misspelled on purpose?

Also: Congrats on your game blowing up btw. Drew Durnil made a video about your game, and I agree with him, it's a great game!

Developer

i will definetly add a restart button and probably also a quit button.

 if there is any typos in the game please tell me ^^ i'm swedish so i grew up with the swedish names of most countrys and i got dyslexia so i do alot of typos

No problem! I'll make a list for you

(3 edits)

DominicanR ---> Dominican Republic (though idk if that's because the name can only be a certain number of characters or whatever)

Dr Congo ---> D.R. Congo (You could also do D.R.C.)

Tunnisia ---> Tunisia

Phillipines ---> Philippines (one L, double P, instead of double L, one P)

Cabo Verde ---> Cape Verde

"neighbours" ---> neighbors (when it says a country was divided up by its neighbors)

That's all for now. I'll let you know if I find more!

I think turkiye is what they want to be called now, not sure

ah, right, just checked it, my bad!

(1 edit)
  • Uintah is a Native American tribe, so it's not actually misspelled, just you probably never heard of it.

The game is really fun, so props to you for creating it.

Yeah I'd never heard of it, so I had assumed she was going for the state of Utah b/c of the Mormons or something. Thank you though!

Developer

Thanks <3 i've already changed Dominican republic, Tunisia and Philippines and neighbors in the update i'm currently developing.

 i will prob change dr congo to D.R Congo because i wanna keep calling it doctor congo when i say it out laud xD.

 as pointed out already by others uintah and turkiye is the correct spelling of those 2.

also cabo verde based on my own knowledge (my knowledge can be 100% wrong i'm sadly not a expert on every single country and province in the world) cape verde prefair to be called cabo verde but both versions are ok.


Thanks for the feedback it helped alot <3

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Cabo Verde is the official name for the country.

neighbours is the british/australian spelling opposed to neighbor which is the american spelling

Right XD, I forgot about the Brit's u's.

Cabo Verde is the official name of the country and in some parts of the world Neighbours is spelt like that.

Also don't forget about Bougainville not having a capital letter.

Cabo Verde or Cape Verde both work, Cabo Verde is the original name.

you should add flags on top of every country in the world

Developer

Would be fun, but also A LOT of work for a small visual change that doesn't matter too much. for now i'd rather spend my time adding stuff that expands on the actual game.

middle eastern spelled middle eastn

what do the numbers mean at the leaderboards

Please, Please, Please, find a way to make a Chromebook version of this game. I'd have never have even bought this piece of shite if I knew I wouldn't be able to play games...  (meaning the Chromebook.)

Developer

I'm using unity to make the game and from what i know they sadly don't got any options to make a chrome os build.

BUT i will soon try to make the game playable on the site, so aslong as you got a game browser that supports it (i know that google chrome does) you should be able to play it then if it isn't too demanding

i look forward to that day :]

By the way, I'm watching Drew Durnil play this and it looks AMAZING.

Same

How about a scenario editor?

Developer

i'd love to add some form of scenario editor.

i think i read somewhere someone requested a create your own nation thingy and i think ima do something like that where you can write a name and each province clicked gets given to that name/country. 

only problem is that i'm not smart enough to make a way where people can save their custom scenarios so you'd prob not be able to play the same scenario 2 times

How is your default scenario saved? through tags? In that case you probably will spend a good time trying to save it. I don't know how unity works but maybe you can use a File writer class that writes the province (ID?) and the country created when the scenario is saved and a file reader class that just reads the scenario to load it.

Developer

Yea it's saved with each province having right now around 4 or 5 diffrent tags saying what culture it is, province, country and more.

i could prob make a code that saves all edited provinces in a list and then another that places the new tags out again. just gatta find time and figure out how exactly to do it

I have different screen ratio so i can't access all of the buttons needed to play the game :(

Developer

This should hopefully been fixed in the newest update that came out yesterday

Is there a way to resize the game window to fit my screen? Right now the game is clipping on the sides so a lot of the text and some buttons disappear (mainly the hide leader board button)

Developer(+1)

i will try to fix the ui for the next update so that it changes size and location based on screen size. but in my humble opinion ui is HELL to work with so i can't promise that i will be able to make it work or not. i hope it isn't too much of an issue for now before i can find a fix

(1 edit)

can you make it so you can zoom in? it would be useful for places in Europe and smaller contrys  (found out dw, its , and .)

Tools to mod the game would be fuckin sweet

Developer(+2)

I don't think it's possible to make a easy way to mod the actual map, buut i will next week be looking into making it possible to edit and create your own countries, cultures, provinces and easter egg nations and saving them, that save file should be possible to be shared to others if you keep the name and location as the same. 

I will also look into making the start of the game more customizable to get more varied games. one example is adding more countries provinces and letting you choose exactly what countries should be divided

That would be great!

One more thing, are Alaska and Russia set to be next to eachother? I think it would be cool to have a country spread from Canada to Alaska and then siberia

A country editor/creator would be amazing! Maybe even adding a province editor/creator wayy down the road (cause that might take a while to figure out) would also be cool. :)

Also make colonies more likely to choose provinces that border eachother for cleaner looking colonial borders

Developer(+1)

Might remake how to colonies are created to give of a more centralized colonization effort look

I need to zoom. Also when you choose not to have a continent can you make so it still isn't as zoomed out.

Developer

I'll try to figurre out a way for the game to calculate where the camera should be located to keep everything inside

Thanks

Hi! When a country expands, it should prioritize getting back its original territory (if it has lost some).  I makes more sense for a nation to try to get back original lands that was taken.

If a country has an empire and loses land, it should be less likely to lose original lands than the ones they colonized.

It has not happened recently, but at the end when there's like 2-3 nations left, the bigger one should have a higher chance to win. Idk its weird and seems not deserved when a microstate annexes the whole world to pull out the win. 

Martinique is misspelled as Martinque

the game isn't meant to be too realistic, and this is the future the microstates probably focus on making really good guns

I really enjoy the game, I think it would be cool if you made a USA only gamemode, or even eventually make one for all countries. Also it would be easier to make a keybinds option. If you have extra time, I think it would be awesome to add flags in the selected and/or event boxes.  Once again, great game!

Also, could you make difference in the names, Georgia country and sates? Another suggestion would be to have countries of a union disolve into their own countries.

yeah it would be so cool if countries could break there alliance

As with this idea, make it so the UK can collapse into Wales, Scotland and England. Give Northern Ireland to Ireland and release anything it has colonised (or just give them to a random one of the three)

Deleted 2 years ago

can you make the independence of other country's have a higher chance of happening?

Developer(+1)

I'd love to change it a small bit since they are really fun, but i can't promice anything since the revolts have a high chance of increasing the time it takes to play the game by alot, in earlier versions playing the game usually took around 7h because of revolts.

or maybe make it like 8% or something smaller?

For cultures, I would make New-Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as one single culture. You could call it Maritimes, it is how it is refered here in Canada. 

When playing with provinces on, the Northern part of Maine is called USA which seems off. Same for Puerto Rico being just USA.

At some point it would be fair to make less provinces for smaller islands or more provinces for some continental places. For example, Nunavut has 67 provinces and Greeland 19 despiste being similar sizes. It makes Nunavut more vulnerbale to events related to coastlines and less vulnerbale to be completely erased from the map. The same could be said when you compare Panama with 15 provinces and Québec culture with only 5 or comparing Brasil with 32 and Chile with 49.

I am curious by how you dicided to divide the world and countries into provinces?  Do you aim to make every province with a similar size, a similar population or a similar development?

Developer(+2)

dividing the larger provinces is something i really wanna do and prob will soon,

 when making the original map i basically whent by trying to follow real state borders while also making all provinces roughly the same size,

At the same time i wanted as many islands as posible to have their own provinces because in my head it makes more sence sknce historically alot of islands was taken by other countrys that didn’t always make the most sence geographically 

I like that idea, but Indonesia needs to be nerfed, all of the many islands make it so it has a huge advantage

(+1)

gamemode with states / provences all independant instead of a few being able to be independant

and make a gamemodew where when you start you pick a country to play as also make the states or provencees all able to get independance

(+1)

Antartica and maybe be able to change the chanses of an annexation or colony basicly like that

that would create interesting situations. 

these countries arent europe why are they included in the europe map

Developer(+1)

Cyprus is often included in europe because of cultural reasons.
and the border between europe and asia goes thruough the caucas mountains that georgia armenia and azerbaijan is located in.

so i tried to make those 3 countries be in both the europe and asia map.

Maybe adding modding compatibility would be nice

(+3)

A way to configure the chances of events (annexations, expanding, unions, etc.) could make for some interesting games.

Some ideas I like:

-Modding capability (I know everyone is talking about this, i've read every reply so I can tell how annoying it can be, but it'd be really cool)

-Selective independence (At the start of the game you could have a list to choose which countries are independent and not)

-Formables (When certain countries get a certain percent of certain provinces, they can change their name to a different one, like Italy forming the Roman Empire)

-Deformables (Like formables, but all countries inside a formable become independent.)

-Larger = Harder to annex (Make it so the larger a country is the harder it is to annex by one single country)

-Mouse dragging (Let the camera be moved by the mouse)

-Change "Ivory Coast" and "East Timor" to "Cote 'd Ivoire" and "Timor-Leste" respectively (don't actually know if you've already done this, but these are the official names of the countries)

Formables ideas:

Korea (North Korea or South Korea)

Soviet Union (Russia)

Ottoman Empire (Turkiye)

European Union (All of the EU Member states)

UK (If deformed, England, Scotland or Wales)

USA (If deformed, all US states and Puerto Rico can form this)

Roman Empire (Italy)

Byzantine Empire (Greece)

Arabia (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen, Oman or the UAE)

Central American Union (Guatamala, Honduras, El Salvador or Nicaragua)

Caribbean (All of the countries in the Caribbean)

Baltic Union (Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia)

Scandinavia (Sweden, Finland, Norway or Denmark)

Iberia (Portugal or Spain)

China (PRC or ROC)


This is just a list of my formable ideas, but so many more countries from world history could be added, even fake countries or regions could be added as formables! Yeah this is pretty ambitious ngl.


Also love your game! Very cool, five stars.

This game is awesome, but the camera zoom is hard to watch. Instead of zooming back out to show the whole map every process, have the camera zoom in and pause until the next event large enough to warrant attention, then pan over and zoom out/in as needed. This should make it way less jerky and consistent. You also get to spend more time zoomed in on a part of the map taking it all in.

thx so much

alliances, if Germany attacked Poland. Poland could call their ally Sweden to help!

a USA mode where the 50 states fight.

Scotland, wales and northern Ireland could become independent. 

1918,1939,1750 time periods ext.

Historical battles such as D-Day, the allies start off with only Britain and french coast they must push forward to recapture  Paris. 

Nukes, rarely used. In the last moments of Britain, Russia ext. they have a chance of launching a nuke at the aggressor.

WW2  and WW1 scenarios.

American civil war/ revolution scenario.

add the ability for countries like Russia to invade Alaska as this can cause more interesting scenarios.

Puppet states.

colonization of Antarctica.   

Some of these are hard to make without a large team but the 3 this game needs in my opinion are :

allies

ww2 and ww1 borders

puppet states.

thank you,

With the new update, it is not possible to click on countries to see their names.

Also, the cursor is not worth using due to the scrolling time.


Good job for the rest!

(1 edit)

British Columbia is misspelled

Sometimes you cannot click on countries to see their name, you have to refresh the map to do so.

Thanks to your discord, i was able to create nations, but 1-5 pixels provinces like islands make it very annoying. 

(+1)

Clicking a few times on "auto camera" seems to solve the clicking issue for me as well.

wait really? I have many clicking issues when I'm making my custom maps

(1 edit)

For the destruction update. I'm really enjoying the "Collapse" feature, however I am personally not a fan of the "Nuked". The reason being is the big brown splotches all over the map when it happens enough times. Maybe a nuked area, I guess for lack of better term healing over say 5-10 turns might be (just my opinion btw) better.


*Nevermind, just saw in the Discord that nuked or unclaimed land will slowly begin to be colonized* 

(+1)

maybe combine all of the small islands in canada/philippines into some bigger provinces?

The capacity to name saves differently would be nice. The issue is mainly that I have more than 3 saves, I keep the others in other folders. The game only works with saves named "Save x" which gives no clue what the saves is about in the folders. 

Or I guess just more saves slot would help!

Please add a way to disable nukes. I think they're cool and random sometimes, but other times I think they're a bit of a hinderance.

Also can you perhaps find a better way for the AI to take territory? A little funny it has the HOI4 issue where some territory takes a majority of the land before another power can, but the other power is guaranteed a piece of land so they take one that is completely disconnected from them

I agree 

(2 edits)

add CSA (Confederate States of America) as a Easter egg pls

and also add a way to turn land into unclaimed land in painting/editing mode

Suggestion to add Mongol Empire,  different times Ei WW1, WW2, etc. and it will set the map, ik this will take a lot of effort but it would be cool, and also Japanese Empire into the main game. 

I agree with the Japanese empire but mongol empire for me is too big

You should add a thing where there is rebels that can pop up and they will be like a separate country but all rebels are under one. Another thing to add could be an Easter egg of Indochina(As a separate nation from France), EU, NATO, Spanish empire, Portuguese Empire, I forgot if this in the game but that would be cool if there was a chance for Hong Kong to be separate from China, Papal States, and finally Austria-Hungary.

Can you remove the neo-USSR breakaway states in Georgia and Ukraine? It makes a bad impression. 

Developer(+1)

the game uses a de facto map of the world, this is due to every country having its own de jure map of the world so someone would always complain no matter what de jure map i choose.


i personally do not support those countries but i included them to have a fair and true representation of who controls what land

option in the mode editor to let any country to annex/union/referendum with any other country (fitting for chaos mode) or possibly as a rare chance to happen when a country gets annexed/union/referendum

add select a year example choose 1947 (year of cold war) 1914 (ww1) 1939 (ww2)

Is it alright if we can leave suggestions in here anyway if we can't get discord?

Developer

yea it is ^^ i just look here less often

(2 edits)

I think it would be pretty cool if nukes had radioactive fallout.

It gives them another reason to be rare and also is realistic (kind of).

EDIT: Although it should be an optional feature.

Drew Durnil just did a cities only mode. How?

Developer

cities got added in v10 and v10 and above is only available on the steam version

ok

i wish i had money

same bruh

you should release in to android I would really appreciate it because I'm on android.

Developer

phone version would take a lot of time that i currently don't have, also i don't own or know anyone with a android that i could play test with, and i don't got enough money to just buy multiple phones sadly :/

while there could be a phone version in the far far future, it most likely won't be anytime soon

(1 edit)

thanks for replying but sadly I can't play the game i badly wanted to.

are planning to make the game playable on the website?

autocamera just stays in the middle of the map and does nothing

why can't countries declare war on each other and take each others provinces and also when i play the game it always softlocks itself and stays on the calculating screen and i cant do anything please fix that

please make fullscreen
