Spawn Points

[Voltenion]

I ran some queries and the six locations with most Portuguese chars who have been active within four days are: Lusitânia, Santana, Mil Cavernas, Nohuan/Nohum, Terra Rica and Praia do Galeão/Nova Esperança.

Of those locations 3 are in our island and the other 3 are outside. We wanted a 60% majority at least. So, if could please take out Terra Rica, as it is not a town (it isn't, it's only a location where people keep on spawning) and substitute it with a town in our Island (where Lusitânia, Mil-Cavernas e Porto de Nova Esperança (Praia do Galeão) are.
What we want is to have more population on nearby towns of ours. Terra Rica, Santana e Nohum are not near any other Portuguese known towns, so thats why we are reluctant to chose them. We want our towns to interact with each other, so it's not really about the town or how numbered it is but how close it is to another town of ours. Was I clear or was it too confusing?

Anyway, could it be 6 spawning points instead of 5? It would be better in my opinion to have a bigger amount of towns with spawning characters. More diversity.
But still, if we could vote on what towns to chose that would be sufficient to make us happy Since the number of inhabitants can be inaccurate (the example being Terra Rica, which is not a town, I repeat.) our opinion as a group should be more important than the statistics.

You can certainly suggest 6 spawn points on your home island. I can't guarantee that they'll be chosen, but go ahead and suggest. It can't hurt. If you can, rank them in order of preference.

[Voltenion]

Wait, you give us 6 spawn points in total, right? So we'd vote fora 4/2 (4 in our land and 2 outside).

We are voting now. I understand that, maybe, not all of them will be chosen but I would like to reassure you that we are going to chose those spawn points carefully and they are going to be well discussed. After all they are our towns and we know them better than the statistics

[SekoETC]

No one is forcing you to select spawn points outside the island. If most people agree that the other island (Fu Put) sucks and no one wants to live there then we can put all the spawn points on one island.

Here's what I can see from the database:

Lusitânia, 22 people
Porto de Nova Esperança, 6 people
Buffalus, 5 people
Floresta de Lusitânia, 5 people
Apolliana, 4 people
Mil-Cavernas, 4 people
Apolodoro, 3 people
Aracati/Feanor, 2 people
Floresta de Kolchak, 2 people
Vila de Moebius, 1 person
Jonasine, 1 person

It doesn't count people in buildings or vehicles or ones that are traveling. There are Lithuanians living in 7 locations and the rest are empty.

Seko, Jos is the one that is making the final decision on this. While we may favor doing what they ask, he may decide differently. That's why I want to stress that nothing is being promised.

Regardless, this is only temporary until dynamic spawning is improved, which I hope is now a top priority.

By the way, did you read the other suggestion we were discussing here? I'd like to know if it was possible to implement (the" higher probability of spawning in an island over any other" one).

[Doug R.]

You said you want 4 on your home island, and 2 off. I saw that, yes.

[Voltenion]

I'm glad you saw that, but here's what I wanted you to read:

Also, since I believe you are currently looking for a change to the spawning system, the option two we had was keeping the same system but with an attraction percentage. That means, the characters we spawn have an higher chance of spawning in our main island. That might work with the other places, since it would not cut the spawns to towns in the foreign islands but it would lower it down significantly. That would work with all the other nations too I think. We didn't vote for this one because we are not sure this can be implemented or if it is that accurate (since the current system already has a percentage to the more populated areas, yet that is not what happens most of the times).

[Doug R.]

I doubt something like that will be implemented.

hmm too bad looks like a great idea, i mean, with a 60% chance of spawning at an original spawnpoint for your language group and a 40% chance of spawning randomly in a non pointed town with 2+ of your language there sounds great, it ensure no one languagegets too dilute, as well it doesn't deprive certain locations newspawns they may desperatly need to get any advancement

[SekoETC]

Even in real life colonies used to rely on new people moving in from the old country. I just read about a Swedish colony in America I think in the 1600s and they were doing very good for a while, but no one wanted to move there so they only got criminals and Finns that were forced to move there, and eventually they lost to the Dutch since they didn't get enough support from the old world. So if colonies in Fu Put weren't made into spawn towns (and it seems like a reasonable suggestion if they're full of sleepers and not even considered real towns) they would deserve to die out without trade with the original Portuguese island. Most likely no one actively decided to settle there, some explorers just stopped to gather resources and accidentally made people spawn. If people were upset by the harsh conditions, they just left their characters to starve to death, giving at least 20 days for new people to spawn and get bored in the silence and inactivity. Naturally I don't know your history, but it sounds like a normal way things go in Cantr.
Edit: While if the colony was thriving despite getting any natural spawns, it could eventually be turned into a spawning location.

These are our suggestions:

Lusitânia
Mil Cavernas
Porto Nova Esperança
Apolodoro

Brama
Vale do Sono

Thanks for the attention.

And yes Seko it's basically that and the people who ran away from the Lithuanians. They created all those separated towns in Fu Put.

It wouldn't have the spawn points. It would just be this current system with another "probability" of spawning. (this one has a lot already like the probability of spawning in an place with a lot of population or spawning in distant places from your characters) It would not be in the spawnpoints but just in your mainland ( there would have to be a way for the system to recognize a nation's island). But Doug disfavours and it's probably impossible to code.

[Doug R.]

Seko, can you get me the location IDs please? I only have half from the PM you sent me.

[Voltenion]

How is this going, Doug?

[Doug R.]

So, it's been about a week with the fixed spawn points. Is it everything you hoped it would be?
