The World Is Too Big: Part Deux (discussion spinoff)

[Pie]

WE DON'T NEED NO TRAINS OR AIRPLANES!!!

HEck, we alredy have a car, a galion and the like. If you want to, why not just make it like a police car? WE DON'T NEED TRAINS!! And they will probably just stay another thing that we can build but we don't.

What we really need is more time, if we want to make cantr "smaller" in the sence of traveling. we need to wait. It's the only way. I wrote a whole essay on this, don't make me have to pull that out.

[notsure]

OH, go on then, Pie. Pull it out.

Well It's really simple. We could easaly half the "size" of the world in 1-2 RL years without the help of trains or whatever.

It's really simple. Given the amount of time to travel frome place to place, if all the major places would expand, such as doryiscom, kwor, fircam, or any other place, and say the take enough people along with them to colonise the place, it would take only a few months.

But the problem is will everyone expand like that, all at once?

And there is the problem of setting up proper comunication with all of them. To do that, if done probably, 2 monts? 3?

Now theres the other problem of cooperation. Easaly solved, if you were just to place someone of trust as leader in each of these villages, and if you can set up that comunacation rout that travels fast enough.

I'm just making this off the top of my head really. the essay is just summed up here, but i added a few things.

Dont forget us on the far far away islands where polish people in there 20s with sloops, sabres, and iron shields poke the 60 year old man with a primitive bow.

[Pie]

I can make no comment on the polish lands for I know nothing about them. I do know, mostly infur, that you are spread out to far.

I really don't know, but I would have to say the same thing that I said up there as advice for you.

Why make the game and map smaller??? The sheer beauty and awesomness of the game is its vastness of land and items. Why make it smaller when we can just add more items like air traffic and and faster vehicles and make the game even larger by adding them. Making the game smaller is never the way to go. "People like big."

Bravo, brilliant idea

Big is one thing, insane is another.... You forget that economics requires large amounts of people, and an inbalance of resources. We really have neither at this time, with a few exceptions.... And the travel time is too slow. I agree with whoever it was that said, we should double the speed of everything, at this point...

Yes I do agree that a lot of the aspects in the game are to slow. It hinders the growth and spread of economy. On the other hand though, I still do not back down from the argument of leaving the map as large as it is. It is realistic, and that is what this game strives to be. many people never leave the contnent of North America, and if they do it is usually just to somewhere on this side of the World. Cantr should be the same way, and is the same way at the moment. Yes though, a lot of things should be faster in the game to produce a larger economy.

[Mykey]

I join. And I have faced it. We can communicate on this theme. Here or in PM.

I split this tangent off of the Suggestions for New Vehicles thread.

Bravo, what words..., a brilliant idea
