loading screen tips

[Badnorth]

We should add loading screen tips to let the player not get bored while the screen is loading..
Idk about this but since its the pandemic shouldn't we add some stay at home things?
Here's some..there is also some jokes I put.

* The more spell resistance your unit has the harder it is to convert!
* Today at the bank an old lady asked me to check her balance,so I pushed her over.
* Stay healthy!
* Always wear a mask!
* If you get bored try making some maps in map editor!
* Pierce armor reduces the amount of damage you get from ranged attacks!
* Practice makes perfect!
* What do you call a bear with no teeth?...a gummy bear!
* Stuck on a campaign? Join the forums and ask some tips!
* Join the forums! Maybe your next idea will be in the next update!

* Stay home & Stay safe!
* Why did the bicycle collapse?...It was too tired!

Cool idea - maybe it could also be displayed somewhere at the edge of the screen while waiting for AI to be done with a turn.
@SirPat Net throwers are great convincers then if they can teach somebody to be a fish in the past.
Also nap editor is some sort of tool for changing dreams, right?
We have to be aware of misspellings.

[SirPat]

Yeah may be add it at all loading screens cause ill be making alot and i guess itll be too unapreciated if you'll only see it once every time you open the game and nice examples. How much bytes would a, let say 500 screen tips use up, cause i dont want to add 20mb of texts in the game ill make more examples tomorrow its 2:42 in the morning here hehe I woke up from a nightmare then went to the forums and wrote that. Ill go back to sleep good night

I edited the typo's i've seen

[Endru1241]

Text is the cheapest in terms of file size - unicode is 2 bytes per letter, but it can be compressed to 5-20% of the size in a zip.
Normalized page is around 1800, so to get 1MB of text data one would need 1024*1024/2/1800 ~ 291 pages.
Five to twenty if this in case of compression.
So good luck in writing a book.

Hehe i just got it right now
And thanks for the info

[Badnorth]

That's soooooooo many...
How much time did you spend making that?

It'd be enjoyable seeing those ingame..
I can read funny & helpful things while playin.

[SirPat]

I dont have time yet to make more. It didnt took much time It was easy to think of those cause ive been playing for years

[SirPat]

Its almost a year since north thought of this. Maybe we can work on this again and add it on the unity version so a little surprise

[Badnorth]

Mmm. Unity version will take long before publish so i guess no rush. And we already have quite the number of tips written here. Should we add more?

[SirPat]

Hmm yeah itll take a while. Lets just add this already on the game. And ofc add more

But im not in the right mind rn to think of new ones

Ill just write some new ones when im in a good mood

[Badnorth]

Ok, sure
