Fixed mentioned bugs: Added Cart_Quinquereme shield variations Uploaded file:Ships_Update.7z

Horrendously hacky but it works

Update: Updated textures as mentioned before: Added variation on shields (Rome, Carthaginian) Used visual studio to fix indents. Files:Ships_Update.7z

@Sundiata probably continue tmw.

Hmm, I am a noob and all but I thought about melee infantry only being able to walk up to enemies to kill them, even at similar speed to ranged infantry. From my experience some melee units seem to have difficulty chasing down lone rams, which seems weird. I think infantry should be able to break into a run when attacking units within a certain distance. This would mean you would need to protect your ranged infantry from melee units and rams could be more easily stopped. I think the run speed for infantry should be made up their current run speed unless it needs balancing.

@Sundiata something like this? oars would be useless or unused since reference shows oarsmen using them in deck and not under deck, so we will have literally "Ghost oars" Flying.

hello @fisherman, try to disable postprocessing and glsl in graphic options. If it does not help, please post here log files https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths. Have a nice day

Maybe not using cav at all then

Last update for comitting: Used Seleucus helmet crest as another crest variant for phrygian. Made Whole seleucus helmet props player color. increased variation mixing helmet props. replaced helmet actor properties with variants. Should the red & blue textures/actors be committed or leaved in this topic as a separated .zip file?. Blend file for the art repo since nothing else should be modified in the file:0.A.D Hellenic_Phrygian.blend

@Alexandermb, Perhaps deifferent variations of the SPQR, especially with the eagle. Nothing screams Roman like an eagle... Maybe a pegasus? Maybe some of the symbols of the Roman legions? Romulus and Remus suckling from the wolf? If you like any of the examples below, you can let me know and I'll make an outline for you.

I want this a lot too as well, that is why I keep harassing @bb_ about #2577 and #252

7zip anyone?

Counter systems are derived from real life. That's one reason why armies are usually composed of many different types of units. For example: infantry is vulnerable to artillery. Artillery is vulnerable to aircraft. Aircraft are vulnerable to anti aircraft. Anti aircraft is vulnerable to infantry. Within each class, their are even counters. Heavy cavalry takes light cavalry. Light cavalry takes ranged cavalry. Ranged cavalry takes heavy cavalry. In general terms. Anyway, horses tend to be terrified of elephants, also mentioned by ancient sources, so anti-cav should definitely be a bonus for all elephant units. Elephants are vulnerable to pikes, javelins, arrows and slings. Even if those weapons don't always immediately kill the animal, elephants really don't like people throwing pointy sticks and rocks at them. It makes them mad, and uncontrollable. Charging horses against elephants will cause the horses to panic and throw their riders. Really cool initiative though! I wish you all the success!

@stanislas69 should seleucus nikator feathers be player color? i'm thinking on use those feathers as props for the phrygian helmets aswell. Also baked again the laurel with less leaves.

I'm working on a solution on my GitHub to generate fonts at runtime. I need to do some performance testing. We can't use fonts on the system because we can't assume they will be there. In the future once I'm done with my experiment. I could use some help as well for now It only supports 255 chars instead of all.

I'll be honest with you, my files are in a 'by any and means necessary' state including ignoring most of the the simulation tree. I'll brush it up and maybe make a cheat unit of it that way any future mods have some standard rifleman assets to use

That's really fantastic! I had the uncontrollable urge to play "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" a couple times in a row today. I wonder why... Anyway, Hurrah, Hurrah! By the way, I misread the title of this thread and spontaneously imagined Stokely Carmichael tapping his microphone at a rally in the 1960's. darn those Freudian slips...
