complicated, sim, sim-lite and basebuilding games discussion

realized i want to talk about rimworld outside of my LP because its not my only ongoing save right now... theres honestly a lot of games that dont exactly play like it but feel sorta related in discussion and i think its good to have a thread for it. for example i think we can talk about rimworld, df and ss13 in the same place without any problems. so lets do it ^_^

ive decided that today i will spend a scary amount of time editing every faction and ideoligion one by one to be cool, immersive and recognizable for a new rimworld save!

What sort of world were you going for? I wanted to make like, a world of slavers or something. Give me something to 'liberate'.

that sounds like a cool idea!! i always like a really varied world tbh. the way i usually play is no empire, two outlander groups and the rest mostly tribal civs. im giving different types of religion for all the tribal civs and making one of the outlanders aggressively liberal. i think im also gonna make one of the tribal religions an offshoot of another!

its so hard to come up w theming annd names lmao

You need at least one group who are designed around the idea of 'worthy adversaries'.

i think im done.. phew

You need at least one group who are designed around the idea of 'worthy adversaries'.
