Age of History 3 - Hours concept

[Łukasz Jakowski 7,103]

An idea to add hours for later age groups (Year: 1919+)

 

For now, only the army moves between hours (0-24). As the day ends, the game takes care of the rest, such as building buildings, army recruitment, research, income, etc.

 

Number of hours per tick can be set in Ages file:

What do you think about this idea? What should be updated also in between hours of the day?

Great Łukasz, but if you want to do it for minutes like (00:01, 00:02 and etc. without skipping hours, how do I do it?

"The idea of having a clock is great. Additionally, I think it would be really interesting if we could include seasons in the game. Each season could offer unique bonuses or penalties, like buffs or debuffs, to make the gameplay more dynamic and engaging. For example, winter could slow down movement but increase defense, while summer could increase attack power but decrease stamina. This would add a strategic layer to the game and make it more immersive."

Or add them if you have a bonus in mind yourself

great, now add a real-time clock, so 1 hour in game happens, in well, 1 hour in real life.


(this is a joke, don't actually do it)

ótimo, agora adicione um relógio em tempo real, então 1 hora no jogo acontece, bem, 1 hora na vida real.


(isso é uma piada, na verdade não faça isso)

NO PLEASE NO

Will there be an option to set when to turn on the hours, for example, wants to set the hour system to 1914 to start with the Great War ?

[IKayzerI 152]

It turned out well, I liked it. I think there should be an 8-hour turn for the period between 1789-1878, 3 hours for 1878-1935, 1 hour for 1936-1960, and I guess ? 2 hours for 1960-?.

Why 1919 why not 1914 or 1900 so it can include ww1, Lukas change it so it includes ww1

But what happens if the scenario starts in 1918? in 1919 would the time start?

LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[qxz 497]

I don't get what this is for?

Anyone could explain?

[Łukasz Jakowski 7,103]

Slow down the game time, for example in World War II

only valid take

[SmearierMoon19 82]

for aoh2:

 

[Marerjh 37]

IMHO, hours per tick (HPT) should be modified per scenario rather than per age (alternatively, scenarios may have it's unique HPT for each age)

Considering game have powerful editors, players might wish to create alternative WW2 (where diplomacy won, for example, or scenarios about American continent where were no major battles 😛) and so slowing game is unnecessary in this case.
