Empires Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread)

day 739444, what the sigma

It is currently the year 12,024 HE, on the month of July on the Gregorian calendar, with it being day 4,388,760 + 3,006 days accounting for Leap years.

In other words 4,391,766 /07/12,024, what a time to be alive.

I’m honestly fine with that

Month day year literally makes way more sense

but two of the 4 tabs on the island building ui have no structures to place yet

i can’t imagine vetex would ship the update without something in at least the civilization tab, i can understand why decoration wouldn’t be a priority to implement but i feel like it might be better to hold off updating until there’s something in civilization tab

maybe vetex has someone else doing the modeling for the structures that are planned to be added this update and is doing bugfixes in the meantime

Month day year makes it easier to narrow it down quickly, since years are too long and days happen multiple times throughout the year.
However, unless you are speaking to someone who gets incapacitated while talking, this isn’t actually useful.
There is also the thing that day month year goes up in order to length.
I really don’t have a problem with either, and I think that other than the confused caused, very few people do as well.
(also we don’t need this getting off topic so lets probably not continue any further)

But if you spell laser as “lazer” I will kill you, that’s a whole different thing.

I feel like there is no “smart way”. There is not an objectively better option, just ones which you are more familiar with and ones you are not familiar with

There is no smart way, but there is a stupid way: day year month

Thats for government use. Most people use mmddyyyy

Actually, its all over the place, but still

i feel like it depends on the region

in my country literally no one uses mmddyyyy

hello, i asked this question and took this screenshot, dont know exactly how vetex interpreted it, but all i asked was if hybrid builds could use ancient magic, which is a resounding no…

rip my plans for electron/shatter conj :broken_heart:

To be fair ancient magic is regarded as the peak of magical prowess according to the trello. It wouldn’t make sense for hybrids to have access to such things.

Im confused, i thought mutations were scrapped and scrolls / teaching-magic was added as retcon.
Alas you can have infinite magics, but you have to learn them through scrolls, but your first magic is like the only one that you cant change cause you are born with it or smth.

From what I recall, mutations are the “natural” way of obtaining lost/ancient magics but you can be taught how to use certain magics

Then i especialy dont understand why we wont be able to change our first magic…

Maybe vet can add mix of mutation (for first magic) and scroll usage for 2nd and 3rd magics
