There is a patch for it. https://code.wildfiregames.com/D4512 You might want to voice you opinion there. @bb_ might have more insights on the pathfinder and performance. This is for me a controversial patch (realism vs gameplay) so I do not have a strong opinion on it. I'll listen to the numbers I suppose.

The population "cost" (not really a cost (https://code.wildfiregames.com/D3353)) is in the Cost.js component file. The Bonuses provided by structures are in the PopulationBonus.js component file. I find your idea quite interesting.

If you surround a group of units and a resourse by buildings and then make these units gather the surrounded resourse, they will collect it and the overall amount of it will increase in the upper menu, despite them having no way of carrying said resourse to the warehouse.

bae^ btw, everyone, kul's first portraits are in! https://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/26580

What if you delete your saves?

Happy Sunday

The hardware configuration of my friend's computer is not very good. When playing a 2vs2 game, the population limit is set to 300. If there are too many units on the battlefield, the game will be very stuck. Is there a patch to improve this situation?

I want to add water, like the power provided by the power plant in Command & Conquer, to limit the size of the city. For example, if I build a well to provide 100 units of water, one military camp will occupy 50 units. If I build two military camps and use up the quota of 100 units, I need to build another water well. If the well is damaged, the total water supply will not be able to cover the consumption. , the efficiency of all buildings that consume water decreases. I don't know where to find the files for population resources, where can I get the relevant code?

I removed Halicarnassus from the git repo in February. Messina starts all black if you are playing, but if you set player slot 1 to AI instead of assigning yourself (making yourself an observer), then you can see the map. When I joined as observer, all the AIs had 0 pop and that didn't change after a couple minutes. I removed that map yesterday after you told me about it. I removed Southeast Asia today. That map was never finished... Besides the issues you mentioned, there was no metal or stone (except for some treasure) placed on the map. Thanks again @SolarEagle.

It's okay, I'm going to see if Lopess helps us. @Lopess You can make us carts like this even if they are not animated? Not right now. Please.

Submit the patch and find out. If your arguments are convincing, there is no reason why it won't be committed.

As far as adding gameplay mechanisms, there are many more areas where a simpler mechanism can get us much more gameplay improvement. Attack ground melee charging ship mechanics improvements cavalry momentum and accleration Alternative resource gathering systems changing/adding civ/team bonuses

If you guys have reached a consensus I'll change the specific names of the phase techs to what you agree to.

I modified the Ptolemaic quilted cloth helmet mesh for it and used its uv and texture file as a basis.

We could indeed make an EA-compatible Scythians mod, and then I'd draw assets for DE from that mod?

Scythian "Enaree" Shaman (Healer Class unit) HEAVY WORK IN PROGRESS. @wackyserious @Alexandermb Some references:

Scythians version 1.1 Units Support Units Scythian Peasant Male and Female variations References Resource Wagon Dropsite for all Raw Resources Can "unpack" into these buildings Yurt (+10 to pop cap) Storehouse Can train Slaves once the Trade Depot is built Enaree Shaman Healer/Priest Class unit They wear shaggy clothing, drooping robes, tassels, and animal skins. They have eagle feather or deer antler head gear and carry a stretched leather drum. References Barracks Units Scythian Spearman Spear Infantry Saka Axeman Sword Infantry Scythian Archer (male and female actor variations) Archer Infantry Maiden Archer Female Archer Infantry Less armor, faster speed Only costs Glory resource References Stables Units Scythian Scout Scout Cavalry Sarmatian Lancer Spear Cavalry Massagetae Sagaris Cavalry Sword (Ax) Cavalry Dahae Cavalry Archer Archer Cavalry Royal Maiden Headhunter Female Archer Cavalry Less Armor, faster speed Only costs the Glory resource References Mercenary Camp Units Bosporan Hoplite Hoplite Thracian Peltast Javelin Infantry Tocharian Swordsman Fortress Units Alani Cataphract Champion Lancer Cavalry Extra Armor, slower speed Can upgrade to a strong anti-building attack (flames) References Royal Cavalry Archer Champion Archer Cavalry Extra Armor, slower speed References Battering Ram An uncovered Ram Lower armor, faster speed Heroes A civ bonus for Scythians is that their Heroes are allowed to upgrade to Mounted from Village Phase, while all other heroes in the game have to wait for City Phase. Tahm-Rayiš (Tomyris) Hero Cavalry Queen of the Massagetae, a powerful Eastern Scythian confederacy. Her army defeated Cyrus the Great and checked his expansionist ambitions. Her look is very Eastern or central Asian, in contrast to the more Western look of the other heroes. References Ateas (Ateas) Hero Cavalry United dozens of Western Scythian tribes to form a kind of "Scythian Empire" over his lifetime. Fought against and was killed by Philip II of Macedon. References Skilurus (Skilurus) Hero Chariot King of the Crimean Scythians, whose capital was the Greco-Scythian city of Scythian Neapolis. Warred against Mithridates of Pontus. He has a mix of Greek and Scythian equipment. References Scythian Structures Scythian structures, like the Huns and Xiongnu, can be built anywhere on the map, in neutral, allied, or enemy territory. This is their "nomad" bonus. They also have half the build time and cost. Consequently, they are the weakest buildings in the game, at 50% health of standard. Their buildings are very fragile. These bonuses and weaknesses also apply to their Fortress. Cult Statue: Ovoo This is the "Cult Statue" building for the Scythians (and Xiongnu). Not only does it give a trickle of Glory like all Cult Statues, but also a trickle of free Stone resource. As an additional bonus, Enaree Shaman healers gain greater healing powers when in range of this structure. Wonder: Royal Kurgan tumulus. A large earthen mount with eye candy around it (see how the mound is surrounded by standing stones; we can add additional culture by using the enigmatic Scythian "statues" found throughout the steppe instead of simple stones). Can have various "stages" of construction like the other Scythian and Xiongnu buildings do: Technologies "Fill of Blood" Prereq: Choosing Tomyris Tomyris +25% attack when mounted on her war horse, +50% attack vs. Enemy Heroes. Social Reforms Prereq: Choosing Ateas Scythian Peasants +50% health; Scythian Slaves +100% Loyalty. Greek Engineering Prereq: Choosing Skilurus Unlock the ability for Scythian citizen-soldiers to construct Catapults. Goldsmithing Prereq: City Phase Research at: Forge (the only economically-focused Forge tech in the game) Traders +40% trade profit per trip. Archery Tradition Prereq: Village Phase Research Building: Barracks Ranged Cavalry will automatically kite away from approaching targets if the enemy targets get within 15 meters. Parthian Tactics Prereq: Town Phase, Archery Tradition, Advanced Cavalry Research Building: Cavalry Stable Ranged Cavalry will automatically kite away from approaching targets if the enemy targets get within 15 meters. Falconry Prereq: Village Phase (also requires Husbandry) Research Building: Civic Center All Structures and Cavalry +25% vision range. Scouts +25% meat gathering rate. Scouts gain a new Falcon prop actor that circles over them. Extensive Husbandry Prereq: Town Phase (also requires Husbandry) Research Building: Cavalry Stable Domestic Animals -25% train time, +25% health. Slave Trade Prereq: Town Phase Research Building: Market Slaves -50% train time. Other civs have to first capture a Trading Post before being able to research this tech. Scythians can research it from their Market. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We need to find a Scythians expert to help parse all of the reference material. I don't think it has to be super granular, but I would like to separate everything into some categories: Western Scythians Cavalry Infantry Potential Hero References (Ateas and Skilurus) Eastern Scythians Cavalry Infantry Potential Hero References (Tomyris) Support Units Healers Peasants Males Females Traders Fishing Boat (necessary for gameplay) Trading Ship (necessary for gameplay) Structures Specific Buildings Materials Need to try to find era-specific reference materials: 6th-4th centuries BC.

I haven't created the auras or techs yet, so feel free to give ideas or criticism. The Portraits will eventually need to be replaced. I wish I had the cash to just hire an artist.

Yeah, a little more like their colorful tunics and textiles:

A not very serious and quick attempt, I used the British texture, so I understood the sides of the kurgans that could be made of terracotta (??) and the entrance to stone walls, or without entrance. Which would be the best? I believe it must contain enough props to not be too "poor" in detail. I accept criticism and beautiful reference images.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone The units look nice (Ummayads?), but the helmets make them look very medieval (especially that nasal guard). Nabataeans were also pretty Hellenized. I'm sure historical accuracy wasn't at the top of the list for these reenactors at Petra, but the helmet "looks" more authentic: Jewish headgear (probably very similar to their neighbours: The only depictions I've ever seen of actual Nabatean camels dating to our time-frame, 1c BC -1c AD: Bedouins in Antiquity could even have some locks or pleated hair.. King Tiglath-Pileser III, King of Babylon, and of Assyria, executing a Bedouin Bob Marley (apparently he didn't take the killing of his sheriff lightly): The struggle is ancient y'all... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXosJKsKetw&frags=pl%2Cwn And a little bonus, Petra, the Heart of the Desert:

Nabateans? I don't have contact in many years.

Using Linux will help. Lowering graphics settings too. There is no big patch for performance around these days.
