I plan to hold a mid-game beta test very soon which I’ll offer to my Patreon peeps first (Lucid's Games | Patreon) I’ll then open a very small closed beta to a few people here. I’ll need some people with rose-tinted glasses. They need to be patient and able to see through the somewhat barebones of the game to what it’ll be when it’s done.
Then I’ll finish it and open the beta testing everyone eventually, in waves.
Daria was only split into 4 duchies with 4 rulers after Zuzak took control in TLH1. Daria a kingdom simulator could be split into 4 different areas of resources after Daria has grown a lot e.g metal and warriors in the Norgan, merchants in Tornassa etc. Also would be cool to split it into 4 duchies and choose rulers for each one
That’s really a common thing in most games. I’m having checkpoints optional myself, but I imagine War for the West has to keep up with lots of variables.
Yes, it’ll be endless. Although you can lose all your peeps and lose, As long as you’ve got some followers, mistakes can be recovered and played onwards. And although the plot will give you an end, it can be played afterward.
