@LordGood So white smoke ? going a bit up ?

@LordGood better impact effect ?

@user1

Rumors of his demise have been wildly exaggerated

I guess we could hack the Phenotype to switch sounds also but the attack effect would only be cosmetic cause we cannot change states on the fly (also would break balancing,) One thing that could be done is offer multiple options to player for the tower to upgrade to. That would be more of @borg-'s area. Not all of civs have those towers I believe.

That can't do... Unless you mean three different towers. Something that might be doable with turrets though and careful planning Then again turrets

Should be doable. The problem is all the example shoot straight, if you rotate the building it would shoot through the wall ^^ Bigger windows won't change that

Made it a bit faster tweaked the impact particle. @LordGood Thoughts ? Not yet @Freagarach working on something like that.

I also asked @Samulis as well.

@HMS-Surprise can you spread the word so people give feedback ? Thanks ! @borg- @ValihrAnt @Feldfeld

More data

Maybe it would make more sense to actually be able to capture units in that case...

As I don't like to go unbacked when making some claims, here are some stats from a 2v2 AI game of 29:05 min {"Component":"Auras","FunctionName":"RemoveTemplateAura|teambonuses/cart_player_teambonus","TotalTime":0.6760000000000446,"Count":7,"Average":0.09657,"TurnAverageCount":0.0008022922636103152} {"Component":"Auras","FunctionName":"RemoveTemplateAura|teambonuses/sele_player_teambonus","TotalTime":0.7779999999999632,"Count":7,"Average":0.11114,"TurnAverageCount":0.0008022922636103152} {"Component":"Auras","FunctionName":"RemoveAura|structures/temple_heal","TotalTime":23.631999999692198,"Count":62,"Average":0.38116,"TurnAverageCount":0.0071060171919770775} {"Component":"Auras","FunctionName":"ApplyAura|structures/temple_heal","TotalTime":36.10199999980978,"Count":55,"Average":0.6564,"TurnAverageCount":0.006303724928366763} {"Component":"Auras","FunctionName":"RemoveAura|units/female_inspiration","TotalTime":2777.575000000241,"Count":8538,"Average":0.32532,"TurnAverageCount":0.978567335243553} {"Component":"Auras","FunctionName":"ApplyAura|units/female_inspiration","TotalTime":2930.252999999917,"Count":8599,"Average":0.34077,"TurnAverageCount":0.9855587392550142} Time is in ms. Turn time is 200ms. So that means it's in average called 5 times per second. (To add and 5 more times to remove) So I wouldn't call à 5s (in total for that aura) delay on a 30 min game slow, but it's not fast. Also notice those are the only auras that were called. mileage may vary.

Of course. But as long as it has a good reason Not removing one sexist thing to replace it by another Indeed

Why split it when you can have both use the same button ? With the new features in A24 you can have a button train man or woman randomly.

The only pushing allowed is this one https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1490

Thanks. I fixed the twitter link at the bottom, and sent them to the printer. Should have them for next week. Thanks a lot for your time @Lion.Kanzen

@borg- Maybe we could consider replacing the woman aura with something else if they are workers, I think it's incredibly sexist and I am ashamed each time I need to explain it.

@Alexandermb IMHO, we should have catapult + charge knockback, syncing anims, finishing anims, climbing on walls (this one is tough) and maybe upgrading weapons by tech. Realistically if we have syncing anims and knockback I'm happy.

They are both named Alexander. But I do think he meant elexis. @sphyrth I am also happy when I see elexis commit things. He maintains a constant flow. I think he is the most active team member of all. He also probably has the most number of commits. Yeah, and we're sorry. I wanted a Christmas release also, but there are too many things to be done before that... I have a list of features I want for A24, borg's mod is one of them, and then there are the tickets on the actual milestone. We try. But I guess elexis would have a much better teamwork if there was a team helping him We all have areas to work on. In the art dpt that would priorizing things.

There is a lot of talk all over the forums. no plan yet. If you play Delenda Est you'll have access to some of those.

Would you like me to replace arrows by laser bolts ? The actor you are looking for is props/units/weapons/arrow_front.xml

I always wanted to have M2TW like combat in this game so I am all for it but I can't commit code...
