One Hour One Life Forums

this used to be so much worse with swords, you could hunt down 3-12 males of another town (near a bell), and you were much more likely to be born as a baby in the town where you just decimated the male population in your previous life (within less than 4 sids, you quickly find your decimated town to repopulate it)
the fun poart here is, that you got a LOT of "free cloth" as a baby, and yoou also got a "performance report", usually like "be careful my baby, there is an hostile army of like 4 of them". nope, it was just me, doing guerillia warfare for 10-20 minutes, picking up like 6 males. and the paranoid female survivors cared EXTRA nicely for the new baby, and you already knew where all the best stuff was from your guerilla from your past life.

this is dumb.
traveling on roads, you look out for wolf and bear anyways. your "trap" is screaming "look at me, i am a trap!"

i always move or ride east, gathering roadbuilding stuff, buuilding an endless road that you can not traverse full leght within 1 hour. As female this occasionally revives abandoned towns on the way, or it even founds great towns along a road where ever lots of wild berries exist, or i managew to get a player who builds a long road with me for an hour, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, till that segment connects to all the other segments.

only iff a baby is born in a place where it makes sernse to be stationary, and only if it neither says [m]om, [ h ]ome or [w]heres home, and if its smart enough to never abandon its only food source (wasting time making me move to the dumbfuck), it may live long enough to be a useful mule that carries clothing back to a bell town.
i get that roadbuilders usually get great clothes by age 20, from all the corpses along the track, and they easily stay on 4 yum, so the algorythm thinks, YES this person that only gathers stone with a horse must get 5 babies nonstop.
nope, thats just dumb and diistracting, my cart has rubber wheels, youre just a player thats born in the wrong place, go die elsewhere. often enough thugh i have no rubber wheels, and then a baby may just get to live.

its not worth feeding any selfish brat that keeps saying "mom, wheres home".
This is an attention whore, not worth wasting any time with.
ignoore them and they die at age 3, dont ignore them and they die at age 4. these are leeching players.

I fail to see why not just use a ginger or black life to bridge those biomes.
- getting one of those and getting it there often takes too long, a matter fo fate.

I completed my map of a 8500ish tile long road, version 1, will travel the road a lot on new years. its 10kx1kpx 500k file refuses to upload easily. many locales could need better names. and i missed to get good screenshots of the eastern villages, to a point where i missed to map an eastern bell.
most of it is very horizontal.

seeing/having that city with the garden graveyard revived at rouchly 3500 tiles east sure helped in one life.

diagonal roads are needed to evade large jungles/snows. deserts can and will occasionally be paved through, if only because deserts are a big source of flat rocks anyways.
using semi diagonal roads is only slighly trickier.
road autopilot got improved.

the long NE road that ends in snow is one annoying dead end now.
before that, a fork south is a better path, but it still has to go over some snow tiles, or got south by 20 more tiles.
that snow biome is not so nice, to be ignored for now, all these are minor issues.

most of the road gaps will be patched up soon to a point where theres a nonstop stakes-lane.

4k can be traveled on a road before reaching age 40, while willing the gaps of the road.
babies act more like mules for extra carrying papacity, you can carry more clothes with a baby.

rift was  nonstop sadism.
VERY easily griefed to death at all time.

nothing to miss about it.

long roads always provide plenty of free cloth, not all of it dropped at age 60, and a lot of it is found +-200 tiles near the road and brought to the road.
roads usually are full of wolves and bears.

give one tribe the ability to move over the rift 

rarely discord, and theres not much to coordinate, hard to coordinate a large scale thing anyways.

best thing is attempting a rough map+plan, but so far i had no need to make a map of this road, where it goes diagonally up and where it goes down is barely relevant.

the 2 mos west-side towns with bells have one segment where the road is too far north and ends in a big snow biome.
i started a path diagonally down, but it ends in the very same snow biome 300 tiles further southeasteast. this long snow biome is currently the largest decision-challenge.

all other road tiles east of the westmost bell is barely going up or down OR where ever it does so, its hard to miss the direction.

2500 east of dual bell town is a segment that has 2 roads too parallel, with 250ish NS distance. this is "being fixed" with a road fork diagonally south, that should hit the "town with no bells but a nice graveyard garden", instead of passign by it 250 tiles north of it for no good reason. as THAT town is the west end of a very long road to the east.

total EW-distance of this path (with gaps) is roughly [8000 tiles east to west] and its NS-height is below 300 tiles, and gaps are closing.

bears!

while its creative, it also wastes a lot of space and I saw you get killed by the bear after leaving the door open.

theres much worse ways to play this game.
