Are...are you sure...that the "k" isn't at the wrong position? Because... 24k hours would mean he had to play the game 2.75 years 24/7, and the game is from 2012. That means...he would have to have played ~13hours per day, each day, since release till today, the 29.03.2017... ;)

Generated religious and social constraints is a really interesting idea. I haven't yet figured out how far to take the procedural generation - figuring that out will be part of the design process. I'll ponder how this might be layered in.
Take it as far as you can. While equipment might need to be manual, because of art assets and balance. World powers, names, religions, history... anything story related at all could be procedural.

Yeah, okay. AFK idling would explain that. :mrgreen:

This is pretty close to the first game design-related article I wrote, way back in 1993. ;)

To to larger subject of "game mechanics for negotiating organizational position," it's something that's been on my mind for a while. In part, it's "why isn't diplomacy better in games?"; in part, it's from working on my own diplomacy game over the past year+; in part, it's from playing Reigns and CK2; and in part it's from playing Sol Trader and reading the first blurbs about EaldorLight and wondering how it will build on relationship management in Sol Trader. This should be interesting!
