I'm thinking of learning how to mod SoS.Do you like the amount of resources that are in the game? I was thinking of how I'd like there to be more intermediate and completed resources (Wood needs to be turned into planks before being used to make furniture or other things, pelts and hides need to be proccessed to be turned into functional leather of lavish furs, etc), as well as a bigger range of war equipment to choose from (more variety in tiers of equipment with different costs, less usage of weapons just to arm a single soldier, etc), and I wanted to know how you feel about this sort of higher complexity to resource-management.I figured out how to make new maps and retextures, which is simple enough, but the real challenge is in starting to code, or at least learn how to edit other people's code to make it work for you.

I'm playing this game for the first time. I have some questions:
- I have a population of around 150 orcs or so. But I see some of you reached the thousands, how do I scale my civ to that point?
- How does science work? Is it based simply in the number of researchers or do science points regenerate when I spent them? It looks right now that, if I want more points, I need to hire more dudes.
- I can train guards and build bows, will they automatically grab the weapons when the right time arises (for example, uprisings)?
- Is this all the game can offer? So far satisfying my people wasn't that hard, and the only thing I'm doing is recruiting more immigrants and farming more food. But it is getting old.

Man I am having a rough time, around 900 population with mostly dwarves and 100 or so humans for my lab, finding the tech system a bit all over the place but so far invested in some new services and tools for the important industries I have.My idea was to go all in on metal production and I am getting the hang of that (Throw manpower at mines, research better refining and use tools on smithies) to make swords and tools to use for my army, industries and exports.
Food is an issue, I have two huge fisheries and that's it. I was buying in bread/meat/veggies/fruit to cover my needs but meat is too expensive so I cut that out, people are sad but I need to make money for my next big problem:My city seems to be within in another region and I could only trade with that one city there so I assumed I was locked in, so I conquered him and gave him autonomy and that suddenly let me see the huge empire to my right but they won't trade agreement me until I have 1 million denarri
Further to the west there's more factions with a rebel faction between us, all are marked too distant for trade so I conquered the rebel faction and granted them autonomy, I can trade with them now which is good but I can't trade with people further afield.Is my map generation just fucking bugged? I can't reliably sell anything without flooding the market instantly
Did I make a mistake by not trying to be self-sufficient? I can keep going the way things are but without increasing revenue I can't get more food stockpiled so I don't see how I will grow much passed 1k.
Thinking of just hitting 1k and restarting for the title bonuses I unlocked.Very fun game, my favourite bit of Gaelic song is in there too

Things are going pretty well, had a bit of a disease and made a third hospital although I really should just make one mega hospital or perhaps just another inside the mountain hold.Beginning to realize that the absurd tech requirements are going to mean that my outside human town is going to be 90% labs and I haven't even made a library yet, paper import looks to be very expensive and I am saving up for a trade deal or perhaps buying out a neighbor entirely.I am building a tunnel to the east to secure sithilon ore, I think I will just let my dwarves use that as furnishing for a while before making a stockpile to sell some of, another tunnel to the east for a small stone deposit as I'm finding that the mountain doesn't really produce as much stone as I imagined coming from DF/Rimworld.I'm training up another regiment of 100 dwarves to bring my armies to 200 total, I think I might recruit a hundred or so humans to serve as archers for defense as otherwise my walls are kind of just pretty obstaclesPlease r8, give me some pointers or tips I'm not very good at this game at all

I'm trying to understand how to handle logistics without ending up with 1/4th of my city employed as warehouse workers. I've noticed that workers of nearby workshops will sometimes drop their own produced goods off at very close warehouses or haulers (due to having zero warehouse workers as I made it the minimum priority job so I could have actual production going) and that the biggest issue with not having warehouse workers seems to be not being able to stockpile goods for trade or events.Does it make the most sense to station workerless hauling posts outside each workshop, then use transporters both to transport the inputs to input hauling posts and a transporter at the workshop to transport the goods from the hauling post/workshop to warehouses around the city? Should I even have hauler or workshop employees at all?

Neither of those two Empires wanted peace and I had to figure out something. I realized that I can surrender myself to other, neutral, not so strong empire and become it's vassal and so I did. This bailed me out of all wars, saved my lands and even earned me money. Before that big war, I created two big vassals from my previous conquests, but one of them broke off since I didn't have a direct connection to it. The other I had to free by becoming a vassal of some Pigman. It was annoying as hell to give up some percentage of my total money yearly, but it did save my ass. I just had to make sure to spend everything before time for a tithe came. Ultimately though, entire play paid off a lot. After some time I got an event that my Master's realm collapsed which turned half of it into rebels. I immediately conquered those lands and soon later rebelled and took all lands of my Master save for his capital, as I planned anyway. He paid more in exchange for peace than he ever took and I got his lands as well. And I could build up in peace while being under his rule and fix my relations. I'm such a slimy, ungrateful kike...
And later one of those strong Empires to the North which warred against me collapsed as well, which I took advantage of quickly. One of my former vassals developed into a strong allied kingdom and I blobbed a lot since then and created new vassals of my own. Even my former enemies like me nowIn my capital, I used to have Pigman/Human farm next to the river and Dwarf/Human city in the mountains for minerals and industry, with my Keep between them. Eventually it all merged into one big city. I learned a lot. I had no idea that traffic existed so I had to rebuild some streets. Not all fortunately, since I made them wider previously so they looked cool. For whatever reason I ignored increasing tool so design of some of my buildings is still shit. I wanted Elf district to the North, but I should have placed it next to Pigmen I think. Stuff like this

The research system still gives me conniptions. It's absurd to have a third of your population be scientists- moreso when the game is so heavily themed around the Classical Period.What if research points were generated by population? Specifically, population that isn't tagged as "recent immigrant." Example:
>Humans generate 15 points each
>Garthimi generate 5
>Tilapi, Dondos, and Lizards generate 10
>Piggers generate 7
>Slaves half that number, rounded down
>Education and Indoctrination multiply that number by a scaling modifier for the entire population
>Game checks population numbers once a season and the floating value slowly rises or falls to reach it
>Libraries work like pastures, consuming paper and requiring maintenance to permanently house knowledge
Effectively, this means that a slaver, warmongering culture will naturally generate a lot less science. They can't just enslave a bunch of humans and put them in the knowledge mines, either- to develop institutional expertise, you need to spend resources on libraries instead. A well educated free people, by contrast, will have a well governed and productive society. This also penalizes players who don't prepare for plague or engage in disastrous wars that kill off the population... and incentivizes you to raise children instead of immigrants.

I got to 600-700 hundred pop, built a nursery and then was promptly tech-locked into a a spiral of death and rebirth by disease, no immigration etc. People just kept dying off in cycles and then getting replaced.
Also all my buildings had begun to decay to the point of rotten walls. I've had janitors, but they didint fix it at all.Tips?

>research and maintenance still being the biggest retard filter of the game
Based dev.
Seriously though, in this game if you can't maintain something then you shouldn't be building it. If you can't research something without committing 30% of your workforce that you need in other things just to keep afloat into being scientists then you shouldn't be going for it. This isn't Stellaris where you're constantly researching shit. You need to be maximizing population happiness for population growth and expanding your empire out. You "could" have 200 of your people toiling in coal mines, or you can just conquer a town and get more coal than you could ever use for free. You diversify your exports and have a constant stream of income that you use to import higher tier items like paper that you aren't producing. This game scales extremely well but it doesn't tell you this. It will let you fail until you can feel it out. The higher sciences are "locked" behind certain pop caps but it won't stop you from trying. At the start, you won't be able to research everything and you shouldn't be trying to. At 13k+ pop my biggest problem is employment. I use laboratories to funnel NEETs into when it starts getting out of hand, and that gives me more science than I have applications for.The whole "game" is learning certain ratios and how to get past and solve certain bottlenecks. Almost like a puzzle. It's like playing Factorio and complaining the game is shit because you keep running out of iron plates. Once you solve this, it becomes trivial without turning up the difficulty options. I dunno Timmy, maybe Civ 6 and wet nursing is more your speed if you can't figure this out. It's not particularly hard, but it will let you fail over and over and leaves it to you to figure out why. Thats the genius of the game.

Is there any drawback to creating vassals out of your weak neighbors and free lands? Eventually they'll turn on you, but if you've beat them once you can beat them again, and until that point you can enjoy extremely low tariffs with a number of trade partners. The alternative of claiming the land for yourself seems like a significantly worse option until you have emissaries, gov points, research, and armies to control them without either losing all its population or they rebel.

Dammit, the new patch was supposed to reduce the lab worker amount but the autist dev went full monkey's paw and instead made it eat absolute shitload of clay so we are back to square one.
>oh, anon but I thought you wanted fewer lab workers
Yeah, except you still have the same amount of people stuck being unproductive because you needs dozens of people working full time so your civilisation doesn't forget how to make a marble shitter or how to use a pickaxe. Pickaxe you can make because of undifferentiated mass of "tools" but you don't actually have any use for them until you unlock it separately for every industry.
I like the game but the dev's obsession with upkeep mechanics and the whole tech progression of the game is just horrible.

I tried a bit to vary the building forms with the tilapi, making their housing blocks a bit rounder with an inner canibal sanctum, and shaped the fletcher and their nursery into an O form, while all the industry and the human housing blocks are, well, blocksI copied the spider temple from a senario but the Crator temple I build myselfI even had some mini projects like the enclosed garthini getto I build in the upper left corner that I wanted to build a nursery in to harvest their larvas into my canibal stalls but for some reason the hatchery never worked(the garthimi where free at that time but I enslaved them after that failure and replaced the hatcheries with insane asylums), there also was an armevian fishing village in the eastboth kinda merged with my main settlement after some time, oh the urbanisation
