Game Balance and Yomi — Sirlin.Net — Game Design

Game Balance and Yomi. August 20, 2014. I'll tell you two myths about game balance, then about how to measure balance with tier lists and matchup charts, and then about the long process of balancing Yomi over the years. Game Balance Myth 1: If it's too well balanced, it's boring. I understand where this one comes from. Game balance is really hard, so if you had a cast of characters (or RTS races, or card decks, or whatever) and some of them were too good vs other ones, what should you do? That's where yo...

Overwatch's Competitive Mode — Sirlin.Net — Game Design

http://www.sirlin.net/posts/overwatchs-competitive-mode

July 3, 2016. Dear Jeff Kaplan and the Overwatch team,. I think your game is great and it's not lightly that I rate it a 10 out of 10. Respectfully though, I think you're a bit lost in the woods on how the competitive mode should work. That's understandable because it's a complicated problem that's nearly unsolvable given your constraints. By Kaplan is excellent about sharing thoughts from the dev perspective, I'm concerned about the specific thoughts laid out there. Anyway, draws range from bad news in ...

http://www.sirlin.net/articles/balancing-multiplayer-games-part-2-viable-options

Balancing Multiplayer Games, Part 2: Viable Options. August 15, 2014. In the previous article. I divided the idea of balance into the two sub-concepts of. I also defined the concepts of. Games, where the more varied the different starting options are that must be fair against each other, the more asymmetric the game is. How do we make sure we have enough viable options during gameplay? To protect against dominant moves, we should be aware of the concept of Yomi Layer 3. I wrote a chapter in my book.

Solvability — Sirlin.Net — Game Design

http://www.sirlin.net/articles/solvability

September 13, 2014. Designing competitive strategy games is a constant fight against solvability. It's a struggle to make a system simple enough to understand, yet complex enough that players. Figure out the best way to play and then always play that same way. Pure Solution vs. Mixed Solution. It's a much different situation if a game has a pure solution rather than a mixed solution. To understand why, we'll first have to define those terms. We'll call a mixed solution (this is also a Nash Equilibrium.

Game 後語：Ora et Labora、Caylus Magna Carta. 的去年的作品，自面世後好評如潮，之前的 Merkator. 和 At the Gate of Loyang. 遊戲背景在中世紀的法國和愛爾蘭，每位玩家帶着三個修士，建設修道院和附近的鄉鎮。修士們的生活很忙碌，要不停地幹活，也要負責砍伐樹林、清理泥沼、建設建築、開拓土地等等。 有點類似，不過建築物的可建位置有地形限制，而且建築物的位置也會大大影響鄉鎮（settlement）的得分，這方面比 Le Havre 多一重考慮。另外，建築物的出現時間是固定的，不像 Le Havre 般有點隨機成分，也沒有特殊建築，所以遊戲中大部份的事情都可計算出來。然而，大量的建築物和物品種類，讓玩家沒法輕易地找出最佳發展路徑，甚至會造成分析癱瘓。 之前已跟 Jelly 玩過幾次二人局了，覺得很好玩但還未上手，這天到 Clement 和 Grace 家試試玩法國四人局。 這一局中我的建築物都吸引不到大家（雖然我大惑不解），所以很少人來光顧，都是我自己去踩，修士們流動得很慢&#1...Grace 開局的時很迷茫，不知道要做些甚麼&#6...
