Bugs
-passive upgrades don't works sometimes, especially if you level up again before picking them
-missionary causes units to sometimes not be able to collect resources from a meadow despite it not being occupied by barbarians
-sometimes while having selected sth to place in castle mode and trying to type in chat, the game freezes and it can only be fixed by typing sth again
Some Ideas and Experiences
I've put some hours into the game, this is a list of ideas, exploits and bugs based on my playtime.
- Changes to Castle Building. Once you've built a castle, it's stuck the way you built it. If you want to extend it, you have to tear down a section, costing 15 gold per wall. That's pricey! Maybe change it so that the wall can be extended around stone gates. This makes extensions a bit safer, and makes the leaderboard consistent.
- Tribe Spammers. Occasionally you get that one jerk that spams out tribes, quitting the game and surrendering control to the AI. I propose a few solutions to the problem:
- AI Timeout. After a set amount of time (Maybe thirty seconds, even less) an AI tribe will die, not leaving any resources. This won't stop spammers, but means they have to continually grind out tribes.
- AI Time Minimum. A tribe will only become AI controlled if that tribe has existed for a set amount of time (e.g. 5 minutes). Meaning spammers have to twiddle their fingers while waiting for their tribes to pass the time limit.
- No AI on Death. All but eliminates tribe spammers. A variation could be that AI tribes can't actually fight, instead they just chill in a meadow, waiting for someone to kill them... Frankly having an AI that just butchers the nearest enemy tribe feels kind of pointless.
- Minion Spammers. Can't say I've seen these much, but I've tried the strategy once. The idea is you collect a large amount of food, then ditch all but one minion. Give them a free weapon, then create a new minion for one food. Abandon the old minion, and repeat.
- Stay at Tower. If you have an archer in a tower, there should be a command that forces him to stay in that tower. (My idea is you click on the archer, and the health bar will turn yellow.) Later you can come back and collect them from the tower. The archer(s) that are in towers would still be part of your tribe and would contribute to costs.
- Progress Save. The biggest let down of this game is that it lasts as long as the window is open. I don't propose making a player's base invulnerable if they leave, because multiplayer. However, using cookies or other means have a save slot you can choose to recover. It would save your minions, their tools, your resources and your inventions. However your buildings would be left in the map. When you choose to respawn you would do so like normal. As a limitation a tribe must have been undamaged for a certain time (Like a minute) to save. This is to prevent people from using it to escape combat.
- Peaceful Mode. A castle gamemode with PvP disabled, however barbarians become more common. Shifts the focus from survival onto building a castle. Add routine barbarian attacks on buildings to compensate for players. No missionary!
- No Player Mode. A castle gamemode with no other players, and a significantly smaller map. Would be handy as a 'Learn the ropes' world. Have barbarians scattered at the edges as well.
- Desktop App. An offline app that people can download. Players would build castles and fight barbarian attacks, and would have save data! Make the map a bit smaller. Allow other players to join via LAN or a unique code over the internet. Don't get me started on multiplayer minigames.
- The Bank (Gold Storage). Self explanatory, and why isn't this a thing? Using catapults as one way storage for gold is not ideal.
- Destructible Wells. You should be able to destroy a well regardless of team colour. It would still cost ridiculous gold however.
- Sharing Resources. To do this, click on the resource that you want to share from the top bar. Said resource will pop out of your totem for someone else to pick up. Don't put your totem up here, because it'll get stuck behind these buttons.
- Zooming in and out: Hold down control (Or whatever the Mac equivalent is) and scroll up or down at the same time. Useful to get your totem out of the resource bar. I play at about 85 percent zoom, which let's you see a fair distance but still interact with your tribe well.
- Catapult Rock Bug. When a catapult fires many times, the rock becomes bugged and hovers over a catapult. Does anyone know how to fix this? I cursed the middle by building a catapult on the waterfall, getting the rock bug, then destroying it. All hail the floating rock!
- Waterfall Issue. Why can we build in the waterfall, but not be able to walk through it? I say it should take up building space like a well to stop building and movement.
- Stay and Saw Bugs. For some reason, when you get Stay it doesn't appear. Make it appear by updating the interface with another upgrade, like hood. This does upset gameplay somewhat, but you can get around it. I sometimes find that Saw is broken as well. I get the upgrade, chop down a tree and only get one wood. I somehow got it to fix itself, but it is something to watch out for.
- Team Codes Issues. The team codes do seem a bit broken. Having friends join later on works, but there are two problems:
- Different Server. I'm pretty sure if you join a different server to someone with a matching friend code, you don't get put on the other server.
- Generic Team. You can sometimes join the red or brown team, even with a friend code. Supposedly you're mean to get a unique independent team.
That's all of them. I might post some of my builds later. Thanks for reading!
javaskript "hackers"
there's ppl (right now it's the blues), they're building castles in the normal game mode (they wrote sth about javaskript), trap bots in there and at some point they tear down the walls and let the bots free and kill everyone.
I mean it's kinda funny but also like.. come on I just wanna play lol
IDEAS TO MAKE THE GAMES BETTER
I have been playing Wanderers.io for several weeks and I think it's very fun and entertain , but it begins to be boring and I think my ideas may make the game better and attract more players.
1. It should have more game mode and news maps outside of the only maps. There should be 4 gates south west north east that lead players to outside of the only maps( I will call it the beginners village) and the outside has monsters, new resources and materials .The 4 gates should have gatekeepers to make sure players have enough strength to live outside the village
2. You should let players level up more like 2 or 3 level, so there will be easier to fight with the NPC with only one another players or maybe 2 beginners players. There should be also boss that strong and needs players to team up with players in the same team and battle with it. The team ( your team and other team) that defeated the boss can increase the level limit like 1 or 2 and have a treasure, which inside has a lot of meats , woods and golds.
3.Walls should have more health so it wouldn't get smash too easily. Each team and bots should have the walls' flags or whatever to distinguish which team built which walls so the player can know what castle owner team was.
4. Lands should be bigger and more clouds and in games, sometimes clouds doesn't go to my land. It also need a river (or can be built) so it will help the player to refill the well. Also make a forest , or a village full of NPC will be cool too
5. You should separate the beginner village ( which only have players just start ) and a village that have players who can fight with the NPC alone. At the advance village, there are more trees , gold , and even a stronger NPC. There need to have new materials to build weapons, so pls make a crafting table at the advance village.
6. There are mines so people can collect materials and killing animals, may be monster in the mines( like spider, mouse... ). There will be 3 mines, two mines is for each team( in those mine there are only there teammates ) and a mixed mine ( both team can explore in this mine ) ,which is has rarer items, materials, etc than the other mines. Players can go into another team mines too, but it will be a risk.
7. It should has the team up button to ask another players to team up with them in fighting NPC, explore the mine, or just build walls and kill other players. Players who have teammate will share the resources with each other and have a symbol in their name so they know that they already team up. Also when a player team up with another player that already has a teammate , all of them will share the same symbol and resources. It must has a limited in the maximum of a team. Players only can team up with 4 or 5 other players, so it won't get too IMBA.
8. A new game mods can be protecting the walls from big monster. Once they finish building the first walls, they will build another and another to expand their resources, so they could fight the big boss village to win the game
This is just my ideas , it doesn't insult or telling the game is bad ( the truth is the game is very fun and attract me at the first place) so pls make the game better with these ideas
Bot use yellow totem, without any armyand spawn a lot and prevent collecting ressource, ruining the game
that's rining the game and it'S lame
