My apologies, there was a major error in the water beetles that made the game crash, here is the fixed version: Hyrule-Conquest-Revival-0.2.1.zip

Hello! I am pleased to announce that the Deku Kingdom is finished! Here are some pictures of the gameplay and art: As you can see, there are a lot of monsters and plant life in the Deku Scrub army. A few units are missing, including Dekupults, Scrubrams, and other siege machines, as well as two more heroes. Also, I havn't touched the techs, so some may not be compatible with the Deku Scrubs. However, here is a quick breakdown of the Deku: - They don't cost any food, replacing food cost with wood. To add to this, their farmsteads are dropoffs for wood, and their farms generate a trickle of wood and farm wood. - They are weaker than average troops, but their monsters and champions tend to be equal to or stronger than vanilla units. - They have a cool feature: Deku Babas an be carried (turret) on top of Scrubs, allowing you to add extra attacks to every scrub. However, this breaks formations, as the Deku Babas have no movement rate of their own. Formations will stand there, trying to move but reduced to the speed of the carried Babas. This does not affect individual carrying however. - The beetles can carry Scrubs and Babas by turreting, though only the archers are carryable currently. - The Deku Crawler can carry Deku Babas and Scrubs. - Scrubs can carry other scrubs, allowing for some hilarious Scrub Towers. - The Scrub Thopters can fly above the enemy and drop bombs on them. - The Scrubs have a new type of hero: Titan. Every planned race will have a Titan, and the Scrubs have Stagnox, a massive beetle nigh invulnerable to pierce damage and resistant to hack damage. He can be trained at their wonder. Also, I have included my own, slightly more historically acurate bot, Hyrule Bot, and a new map (Deku Forest) featuring my Wandering Gaia Soldiers, as discussed in another of my threads. Well here it is for download: Hyrule-Conquest-0.2.0.zip

Disclaimer : Doing this poll on my own initiative. I didn't consult @real_tabasco_sauce about it but I believe that it would be at least interesting to have votes on balancing ideas that are probably going to be introduced in a28; or even maybe, it could be default of how balancing changes are introduced (like it was for the first version of com mod a26). Ideally votes should be only submitted after testing and building a good opinion on the changes through community mod. PR links for more infos: Cheaper Wall Han Ministers rework Carth Techs, Bonus and Unit rework Fort Accuracy Nerf Capture Elephants and Longswords tweak Mauryas Maiden rework

Strongly agree. Experienced players know that Alpha 24 was a big disappointment, because it was very turtle-focussed. Almost everyone hated it. This new community mod version is very similar.

On theses changes I only know about the changes to structures (The rest I haven't tested enough or have enough elements to form an strong opinion): Cheap Walls, Palisades especially spammed*, are very annoying for the game-play in current context. They just make pathfinder bug (I know it's not a bug, but a feature of the gates, but it feels like a pathfinder bug); when they are a lot of them, even breached, they kinda take too much visual space; most players don't like stalled games... Basically more walls = more frustrations. I'll rather have them actually strong, and hope for a feature to make them easier to snap with other buildings or even terrain. *In your PR you say that since they are weaker, they will be spammed less, but that's unlikely to be the case, cheaper but weaker incentivize spam, not the opposite. Fort Accuracy; defenses are already super strong this alpha, especially forts, increasing their ability to kill single units like hero doesn't make sens to me. Capture Regeneration Rate of Structures; again, defenses are already very strong currently. But if you really think some famous structures players strategically surround with defensive wheat fields needs be harder to capture, then I would rather increase capture points rather then capture regeneration. This would make capturing and defending easier to learn, because evaluating the effects of regeneration is kinda tricky. A lot of players complain that enemies always capture their structure so easily but themself can't, because they have not yet the experience of the trickiness (exponential effects) of capture regeneration.

Well, I'm glad that we can all agree on the Carthage changes, lol.

We did it like this for more than 25 years. In the 90's, control groups were the killer feature. Now, we have things like auto-scouting. Kids don't even want to play the game anymore, just watch pretty pictures.

My bad, I need to link the git PR. Also remember changes are in com mod.

In the short term, I think we should go with the health nerf for the regular melee champ cav, and for the cataphracts which are so tanky, we can significantly reduce their speed, which will create better differentiation for the cataphracts (possibly also nerf the +100 hp tech for them too).

I think he means the guy who sweeps the elephant poop away No wonder the guy doesnt want to appear in the game...
