Can't we fix those starting hunts

Post by Kaiserklein »

On TAD maps and some maps of the EP, you can't herd your starting hunt, because the animals are kinda stuck. Well you can try, but it's really awkward and random. Is there any use to this ? Because to me it just means that a better starting macro isn't rewarded, and that it increases the luck factor about the spawn of starting hunts (you lose even more resources by walking than when you can herd the hunt, due to bad luck). If there is no reason to keep it, could we possibly remove it ?

It was put there to help newer players and I doubt this can be removed or tweaked.

It's nice to help newer players but if you have these hunts in a competitive game it just helps the worse player... Which is not what we want. You shouldn't get helped, just reward the better macro.
I think this can be removed because my love Rikikipu once told me the way the starting hunt behaves is explicity coded

I agree, should be fixed. Or all old maps get booted and Garja and Rikikipu make enough new maps to fill in for more variety.

Ye it is intended to be that way. As long as it is 4 animals it shouldn't be a problem btw, and it is a different way of microing animals.
For the record from the next update Siberia will have closer starting animals.

Ok but I don't get what there is to micro when you get this kind of starting hunt. You can try to herd a bit but it's so slow and the animals walk in such a random direction...
