I blame the super chill soundtrack
There actually was no soundtrack back then! It was about May-June 2013, months before I started working with Alistair Lindsay.
My friend who played wasn't falling asleep though; the 3 of us who were watching did.

@CliftonMalecki @daze_carlos Civ is simulating the interaction of hundreds/thousands of combatants where there would realistically never be randomly different outcomes due to the law of large averages.
Whereas in RW, we're talking about a space marine getting hit in the face with an arrow. It could happen.
@WWeynants @OskSta This looks a lot more high tech than what I did!
Also worth noting that RW's regions were never for pathfinding; only for spatial analysis. E.g. "What's the nearest threat by path distance" type questions.
What you're doing is hierarchical pathfinding.
@daze_carlos This question needs more than 1 bit to answer. It's not either/or, its probablistic. The chance of either winning is not zero.
@daze_carlos Stories happen to characters. Have characters that player cares about/relates to, and who are experiencing emotions player can empathize with.

Didn't know Tynan was good with plants
Well, I managed to keep a basil plant alive for like 6 months. That's not bad, right?

Omg he made it in Photoshop originally? That's insane
It was faster than Illustrator for the really simple stuff I needed, and it made it easy to pixel-align things nicely. With graphics that small (and a willingness to make them somewhat janky), the power and precision of Illustrator was unnecessary.
Also, I don't know how to use Illustrator.

@windowtwink I'd love to but it's basically impossible to implement the way you'd want.
