    Looks like a great little game, although maybe more Sim than Strat.

    The game is promising, thanks.

    I recruited some peasants, soldiers, dark knights, goblins, halflings and heroes, eradicated some rebel and bandit overplaces, made peace with some small and big nations, set up some trading caravans, talked to a demon king in his citadel, bought or annexed mines, forts and entertainment areas, grew some powering fruit crops, played some death-or-rich coin flip games and bet on animal and gladiator fights, solved some very minor conflicts from on farmer and one guard or that kind of thing, bought some powerful artifacts, stumbled upon a wishing well, talked with a seer and various taverners and village elders, died in quicksands, used some slaves but then freed them so that some of them joined me as soldiers or peasants, destroyed some demonic monuments, asked some mercenary troops to attack weak kingdoms to gain total control of it faster, generally until the mercenaries just get slaughtered because they're not numerous enough anymore.

    I think I explored a big part of the current version in one big session, at least when it comes to management mechanisms, but first the various areas to visit are actually generally more interesting than the management part itself and secondly a lot of these areas are not available in the current version (some parts of the world are not accessible and even in the available part some areas are visible but not accessible).

    No doubt the final game will be fun.

    Hey guys, this update wasn't supposed to take as long as it did, but I ended up adding a few additional features that kept growing, the main focus of this update is called 'The Secret Place', I am not going to reveal any details about it, but lets just stay, start off in the black market! good luck.

    I kind of like this game but this guy reminds me of Caves of Qud devs. He fiddles and adds things but never addresses what the game actually needs. Basic stuff like warring and managing your throne room (that you will be spending most of your time doing) are completely tedious. Here's a perfect example:

    * Added new guard face system for certain throne room encounters

    The throne room encounters are a dreadful bore, lets add new faces to the guards!

    I played this 5 months ago and nothing that's sorely needed has been added to the game in that time.

    Roasted on my first post... gg

    Genuinely I appreciate the feedback though, what sort of changes would you like to see made to the game?

    It's been awhile, but these are my recollections:

    The throne room thing where you receive visitors is repetitive beyond belief, there are way too many and way too few events in the pool that can happen. That's why it pissed me off when I saw that you're adding pointless throne room content like additional faces, when the entire system sucks so bad. You need to tune the encounter rate way down, make the decisions matter more and add way more events.

    The war fighting needs to be something more than just throwing some units at each other and each side losing some one time per turn. I'm never able to take advantage of a good army because of the restrictions on attacking. I never have to think about my troop composition. How about some catapults and other siege engines for assaulting forts, archers to effectively target lightly armored units, mounted units that are better for skirmishes, etc. This complete lack of depth in the combat was a major missing section of the game, for me.

    I remembered liking the exploration in the game.

    I couldn't care less about a billion faces or whatever fun you're having tinkering with procedural systems, when you herald that in your update it just makes me think you're lost in the weeds.

    Thank you for the feedback, to be honest the throne room was meant to be somewhat repetetive when it gets popular and full so you hire staff to deal with it for you.

    The combat definitely needs to be overhauled though, I will keep these things in mind as I continue working on it

    Hey guys, while I've been working on some warsim theory, the little mini things I've been working on, on the side have stacked up so I thought I'd push a release, there is no real focus of the update but one of the bigger changes was to the militia and the near north!

    **Militia Update**

    The militia can now be interacted with a lot more, you can provide them with better weaponry, greatly increasing their effectiveness, and you can learn more about them, there are now 9 upgrades that can be made to them and a reworked diplomacy screen!

    * Reworked the militia screen in diplomacy
    * Added ability to ask many questions to the militia leader
    * Added militia stats screen with all militia information
    * Added militia orders screen to give commands to militia

    * Added Bigger militia recruitment signs kingdom upgrade (more militia recruits per turn)
    * Added Giant militia recruitment signs kingdom upgrade (more militia recruits per turn)
    * Added Militia council room kingdom upgrade (less likely to disband militia)
    * Added Militia council chambers kingdom upgrade (militia will not disband)
    * Added Militia old weapons stash kingdom upgrade (+10 battlescore to all militiamen)

    * Added ability to upgrade militia from the militia diplomacy screen
    * Added militia current weapons stats to the militia stats screen


    The brawl pit has existed in warsim for a very long time, it was one of the earliest visitable locations and hasn't been changed much since, this puts an end to that and reworks it, especially pit ownership, now owning the brawl pit is more profitable with Pit champion fights earning you tons more, and if your brawl pit hosts the battle of the two champions (once every 6 years) you earn even more. Fights now have better sound effects and things and fleshed out and explained better.

    * Added new victory screen at the end of every brawl pit and fighters pit battle
    * Added clapping crowds to brawl pit champion victories

    * Added Brawl pit held battle of two champions fights will earn you money (tons more than normal)
    * Added option to ask about unit types when setting up a brawl pit fight


    I spent a bit of time playing around with the blackmarket and noticed several things that needed updating, the slavers post in the slums was a little flat, so now it's a more fleshed out location with a horrible owner called Skug, there are more screens, several bugfixes, faces for characters without them, and more money for owning the market too!

    * Added ability to speak to slaver post ruler in the slums
    * Added ability to order a slave brawl for 30 gold in the slums slave post
    * Added new background sounds to blackmarket
    * Added special screen for slum pit fight during century festival

    * Fixed speaking to a random local in guildrow doesnt work (credit u/Vylcount)
    * Update east dock company layout
    * Added additional 10000 minimum when sacking blackmarket as previously it was possible to get even 1 gold from sacking it

    Hey guys, another smaller update this time, some changes to Fort Northwatch and the Thickblood tavern in the Near north, making these areas better and more functional.

    **MAIN STUFF**

    When exploring a lot of those encounters with peasants looking for gold were asking for way more money that they should have been so they have been nerfed, it's still random but you're less likely to get such high self worth peasants. Also I had a race of gold orcs spawn in a world and was sad to see their skin wasn't gold, so now it is! And finally, as part of a continued effort to improve the sound of warsim, there is a new ambient track for the main menu.

    * Dropped the min and max wage ask for peasants found in world exploration
    * Added gold races now have yellow skin
    * Added new main menu theme music to warsim


    The thickblood tavern is a location that can be, bought or visited, but for some reason you can't just attack it, well now you can, you can attack it, but there's a reason the place is still standing, it's popular with many northern folk and they are willing to die for it, be careful now.

    * Added ability to attack thickblood tavern
    * Added chance if fort northwatch has over 100 men they join defence of thickblood
    * Added random bands of wildermen loyal to thickbloods that will join defence of thickblood
    * Added random groups of northerners loyal to thickbloods that will join defence of thickblood
    * Added random groups of northern mercenaries loyal to thickbloods that will join the defence of thickblood
    * Added new enemy 'Thickblood wilderman'
    * Added new enemy 'Wilderman Warrior'
    * Added new enemy 'Wilderman'
    * Added new enemy 'Retired northern mercenary'
    * Added new enemy 'Northern mercenary'
    * Added new enemy 'Northern sellsword'
    * Added new enemy 'Northern Sellspear'
    * Added new enemy 'Northman'
    * Added new enemy 'Northwatch bandit'
    * Added new enemy 'Northwatch bandit sharpshooter'
    * Added new enemy 'Northwatch captain'
    * Added new enemy 'Thickblood Bandit mercenary'
    * Added new enemy 'Thickblood bandit sellsword'
    * Added new enemy 'Thickblood bandit sellspear'
    * Added new enemy 'Thickblood Bandit warrior for hire'
    * Added new enemy 'Thickblood tavernguard'
    * Added new enemy 'Thickblood Clan-claimer'
    * Added personal small army to thickblood tavern
    * Added thickblood recruit 3 new thickbloods per year (max 120)


    Fort Northwatch was rather bland, seeing what could happen with forts with the updates of Gorthmek in the past I decided to give this place a spruce up, now there are a few more things you can do here!

    * Fixed northwatch army non-existant and instantly refils every attack
    * Added northwatch recruit 5 bandits per year (max 1200)
    * Added ability to speak to fort northwatch ruler
    * Added ability to speak to fort northwatch local bandits (10 unique dialogues)
    * Added ability to hire local bandits from northwatch
    * Added ability to learn about northwatch history
    * Added ability to watch a brawl in northwatch
    * Added new dynamic northwatch buy price depending on public opinion
    * Added aftermath for buying northwatch (all of northwatch's bandit troops will disperse among relevant locations and factions)


    It's been long overdue, Vylcount has been an active member of the community for quite some time and has been contributing with more ideas than I can count, so I've decided to give him a special place in the living district of Goblinwood in the Wildwoods.

    * Added Vylcounts manor to Goblinwood
    * Added 5 new dialogues to slums (including reference to old bug) (credit u/Vylcount)


    * Fixed weird alliance response tagged as trade route response
    * Fixed Eswin century fest dialogue out of line
    * Fixed wild skalds band in Dragons kneecap using wrong backdrop
    * Fixed wild skalds band in Dragons kneecap dialogue out of line

    Hey guys I'm really happy to finally be able to release this update today, this has been another tough one to code so it look a lot longer than expected but here we are, the Monster Trainer Update. I also recorded a video demonstrating the new monster trainer update features, see it [here](



    So this was suggested a while ago on audiogames and also recently on steam by Blackenblood and so others so finally I decided to give it a go, now you can build a monster pit and find yourself some procedurally generated monsters either by buying them or sending an expedition of soldiers to capture one for you, captured monsters can fight with eachother, be named, be trained, or be pitted against one of 42 different challengers each with their own procedurally generated beasts, the system was made to be fun and was bugtested more rigorously than new features usually are but let me know of any bugs or suggestions you have for it!

    * Added if no trainer your monsters fight with -5% health
    * Added 160+ skill trainer gives 25% bonus to health
    * Added 140+ skill trainer gives 20% bonus to health
    * Added 120+ skill trainer gives 15% bonus to health

    * Added less than 50 skill trainer takes 2% from your monsters health
    * Added missing spike move to monster fighter system

    I mean... this is definitely not a game for me, but I can see a labor of love (or craziness, same thing, really) when I see it.
    Kudos for sticking with this weird idea.

    Feb 19, 2019
    I want to start by saying that this may be one of my favourite updates in a long time, not that I don't like monster trainers or the improved arena or anything like that, but as the developer of a video game it's very hard to find something new that you haven't seen before, I've made every aspect of this game myself so I know it like my own hand... Until now.

    As of the last Warsim update we had 396'775 races in the game, which I'll admit is a lot still, more than anyone could hope to see in 10'000 warsim playthroughs, but I wanted to find a way to get this number higher with a plan to submit the final figure to guiness as a possible video game world record.

    After a lot more beasts added, tons of race prefixes, and some new types of race modifications things were looking good, but the real twist was a new concept to combine some of the race prefixes by splitting them into two categories, I thought about the elder scrolls and how they have Dark Elves in the game just like you can find in Warsim, I thought you could also get Reaving Dark Elves and it wouldn't sound out of place, but you couldn't have Reaving Laughing Elves, that just sounds silly.

    So I split all of the prefixes into two categories, ones that are more like states and others that are more like traits, this creates a huge combo system where some races will use to random but mergeable traits to create races that we can't imagine, so to follow my earlier point about being a dev, with this new system the races that come from it are completely beyond my imagination and are basically always a surprise for me despite the fact I made the game, meaning I can experience things like the players do!

    I am so hyped to bring this update to you guys and I hope you find some weird and wonderful races as a result of this, feel free to share any really weird ones or funny ones!

    Oh and with all the new content and the new system in place, the total number of possible races in Warsim as of this update are... 55'822'936! 55.8 Million races! Hopefully we'll hear back from the world record people and Warsim can potentially get a world record!


    * Added new race prefix stack system for race generation allowing for some extended race prefixes
    * Added tons of new beast races to the game
    * Total races in Warsim now 55'822'936 (was 396'775 as of last update)

    **NEW RACES**

    Some new races added, Fungus folk are kind of like mushroom men but green and with different troop trees, People are a new race of humanoids who differ to normal humans a little bit, and finally beast races now have additional modifiers that can get us some more weird and wonderful races like Demi-Pugs or Exo-Snails!

    * Added new base race 'Fungus Folk' (Seedling, Living Fungus, Fungus Master) large population, really weak lower tier unit
    * Added new type of animal race 'Exo' (Exo-Dogs, Exo-Tigers, Exo-Worms)
    * Added new race type 'People' (Person, Warrior Person, Guardian Person)
    * Added new type of animal race 'Demi' (Demi-Hawks, Demi-Wolves, Demi-Frogs)


    I'm actually really happy with a lot of these prefixes, some of them are little more than race descriptions and have no bearing on how they act, but generally as a rule I like to make the prefixes have an effect if I can, this allows for different races to have completely differing effects and with the new update it's possible for some of these to stack in weird ways. My favourite of the new prefixes are Fragile which sets the race to such low strength it would be light fighting glass people, Crying which has them cry out if you attack their lands, and Deformed which removes a random part of the deformed creatures face creating all manner of weird looking people!

    * Added new race prefix 'Sparse' slightly more savage, +5 battlescore, obsurdly low population
    * Added new race prefix 'Breeding' 5x population -10 battlescore
    * Added new race prefix 'Subterranian' +12 battlescore
    * Added new race prefix 'Planes'
    * Added new race prefix 'Fragile' immensely weaker
    * Added new race prefix 'Violet' dark purple skin

    * Added new race prefix 'Ivory' white skin (credit Ash)

    * Added new race prefix 'Crater' +2 Battlescore

    * Added new race prefix 'Pond' -1 Battlescore
    * Added new race prefix 'Lake'
    * Added new race prefix 'Ocean' Blue skin
    * Added new race prefix 'Dust'

    * Added new race prefix 'Glacial' light blue skin
    * Added new race prefix 'Surface'
    * Added new race prefix 'Edge'

  23. thesecret1 Learned

    Jun 30, 2019
    I tried it. It's a fun game with a surprising amount of mechanics, which is however hampered by terrible balance and lack of design focus. For example, while it is called "Warsim" you actually won't spend much time warring – the bulk of the game is made by exploring the game world (which is always the same, only with the locations reordered differently), as it's where, right now, the meat of the game is. The "war" part is just at the end of a turn, where you get three options for attacking (skirmish, raid, invade), where you just decide how many troops you send against the enemy. There isn't really any depth to the battle itself, you have no input beyond the type of attack and number of troops used. If you take land of enemy's land (each successful invade take one), he's dead. That's pretty much the entirety of war in Warsim. In the exploration part, you will see the bulk of content and get options to attack the places you visit, trade with them, talk, etc. and usually get to get some massive bonuses from it, although you don't really need it because of how broken the balance is.
    The way to gain more money is simple. At the start, as is right for the ruler of a country, your only meaningful income will come from gambling. You'll go to as many gambling places as you can each turn and clean them out (it's trivially easy to guess which gladiator to bet on to win, even without save scumming). After that, you invade some mines or, prefferably, a tavern. To put things in perspective, your income at game start will probably be something around 2k or 3k gold. The mines will give you around 3k each, and the tavern's income varies, but can go as high as 12k easily. You'll start snowballing massively, since all the brawling pits and similar you find in exploration give you stupid high amounts of money compared to what you'd normally expect (trading with others, for example, nets you like 200 gold per turn. It's completely worthless). Then you start upgrading your kingdom with buildings, with stuff that increases harvest yields and auto-recruits troops. This is where you'll eventually make the most money. Without doing anything at all, my kingdom somehow gradually recruited hundreds of thousands of peasants and slaves that then gave me 100k-200k per turn.
    Now, you might ask, what about the other factions? The answer is, they don't really do anything. They never get very powerful, they're only a danger in the very, very early game, after which you can just ignore their existence and squash them whenever you feel like it. The game boasts about the number of races it has, but the truth is, they're entirely inconsequential. All the race does is give them a different face in dialogues, different fluff (a couple paragraphs), and different troop tree. They have zero impact on the exploration part of the game and only really come up during war, where it doesn't matter much - do you invade race A this round, or race B? Who cares? I don't really understand why so much work went into making hundreds of thousands of races when the whole thing is utterly inconsequential. Maybe they'd feel like they have more impact if my army didn't outnumber them 1000:1 and thus crushed them regardless of their stats, but as things are now, it really doesn't matter. After you beat everybody, the game even provides you with some "unconquerable lands" that are supposed to really test you. They didn't. Conquered them all in the same turn, just by throwing my massive army at them. Keep in mind that I haven't done anything special to reach this massive army size – I just built some upgrades for recruitment, and spent a couple dozen turns exploring stuff and invading irritants. I didn't have to manually recruit any troops, it was all gained from the automatic recruitment.
    As for writing, it's pretty good – there's lots of history behind the realm to read about, plenty of unique places to visit and find out more about, many characters to anger and pulverize... It really is the meat of the game right now. Of course, none of it is procedurally generated – the entire exploration part is, as mentioned above, not very random at all, and anything outside of the exploration part is inconsequential in terms of writing. It's kind of strange from a design perspective, though – it's like the dev cannot decide whether he wants to make something procedurally generated, as he presents, or handcrafted content which forms the bulk of the game at the moment. The only other issue I had is that he breaks the 4th wall often. It's not funny, it's annoying and immersion breaking. You can even meet the dev if you buy a certain key and go to the other side of the realm with it – you jump into a portal and there he is. You quickly find out you have nothing to talk about beyond him showing you his room, so you quickly bow out to prevent more awkwardness. He also mentions he didn't believe many would find this, but really, it's trivially easy to get there, so long as one explores the world.
    There's also a wealth of other mechanics, like throne room audiences, musical performances, popularity, etc. but they don't matter. They just don't. Despite trying to partake in them so as to get the most of the game, I quickly found myself ignoring them entirely, as they weren't THAT engaging and were absolutely unimportant to anything. Overall, it feels as though the dev keeps focusing on irrelevant details while forgetting to actually finish the core of the game.
    :2/5: might become a great game after a year or two of active development, provided the dev focuses on what's important.

    Brutally honest but I appreciate you taking your time to share this, I agree completely about the warfare side, it's the biggest complaint I get currently and so I have plans for a massive combat system overhaul in a near update, as for balance with money this is something I am greatly struggling with at the moment, there was a time where people complained it was too hard to get any money but the game gets to a point where money flows in and it's impossible to go broke, do you have any suggestions on how to balance the money in the game? Also weird question but what sort of stuff would you have liked to/expected to see in my little secret realm?

    Hey guys so this is an update just working through some of the leftovers of my current warsim to do list before I move on to some promised update work that's going to take a bit longer, lots of different stuff as well as some cool things to see!


    I promised I'd develop the modders toolbox a while ago but haven't added anything to it in quite a while, well now you can add animals to the game and the monster mod part system allows for easier part editing, thanks to 71 for bringing my attention to this!

    * Added animal creator to modders toolbox
    * Updated title of modders toolbox screen
    * Added new ability to learn more about monster mod system in the mod menu
    * Reworked Monster part maker in modders toolbox (now better guidelines, better previews, reworked screen layouts)

    * Added three new graphics for training grounds/barracks/grand barracks (one for each)
    * Made normal throne room encounters occur more often than celebration related encounter during celebration


    I wasn't planning on touching the race system again for a while but I had a new influx of ideas poured in and so while actioning them I added some new features to pre-existing races as well as my own new prefixes, now you can have space races that will blast off to space at some point and leave the game world. Also thanks to /u/administrativetreat7 there are now millions more races!

    * In total including u/AdministrativeTreat7's suggestions below, this update adds 3'538'106 new races to the game
    * Added new titles for races with the prefix 'space' (stellar captain and sub captain)
    * Added new special event for space races
    * Made weeping races have cry before battle ability

    Lots of bugfixes here including some that have been on my list for quite some time, the most annoying two bugs were grand champions getting killed in a tournment and then not appearing in the hall of fame, after losing a favourite champion of mine in a game to this it got personal, also independent lords not having faces relevant to the race, so eyeless vampires in your throne room, and their leader would be eyeless but the lords would just be regular vampires... not anymore!
