Online semi-real-time, semi-turn-based strategy game. That's not a very clear definition. It's a bit like Tactics Arena Online, I think, but it's much cooler. And it has cowboys.

It's in public beta testing right now, so there are a lot of features that haven't been added. Even so, it's still a lot of fun.

My name in-game is Billy the Adult, in case you want to play me.

IU made this thread 5 minutes after you did without noticing :(

Anyways, I would suggest playing it, and trying it out. Has very descriptive tutorials on how to play, and fun gameplay.

My name is Abe Fern, incase you want to play me, too :D

Edit: Sargon, I'm in Abe Fern's parlor now. Password will be: wote

See ya there!

Your thread was a bit more informative. :p

I'll sort of reply to it here:

As you said, not too popular yet. This is pretty much because it's in beta, and there haven't been any huge updates in a few months. Eventually, they'll release the second town, and more people should come back to play it. The second town, by the way, is going to add a whole lot more stuff, units, duds, missions, etc. Eventually, they'll have 5 towns, which will make the game a lot more deep than it is now. Check the website for more info on all that stuff.

It is free, though eventually they're going to implement a micropayment system. Basically, you use both scrip (cash) and gold coins to buy stuff. Eventually, you'll be able to buy gold coins with real money. At the moment, all you can do is trade scrip for gold. That option, of course, won't go away when they enable the real-money-payments, so you'll still be able to play for free, you'll just have to invest more time into the game. (Puzzle Pirates, the other game by the same company, is a very good example of this payment model. If you want to see how it will eventually work, go play that game on a Doubloon ocean.)

Edit: I actually need to go for like twenty minutes, but I'll be able to play after that :p

What's wrong, people? You guys aren't scared to play me, are you? :p

If anyone wants to play, I'll be around. If I'm in a back parlor, the password will be "jumbles".

This game is quite fun :)

However, I doubt I'm any good at it. I'm just squashing the newbs and the comps...that's about it. Let me know when you're on Sargon; I might try contacting you in-game.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
