Age of Mythology: Retold
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to borg-'s topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
The first shield pattern with the lame stripe really bothers me for some reason. There's zero creativity and it's strange. -
Narrative Campaign General Discussion?
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Lion.Kanzen's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Checkboxes for starters. -
There are also different sizes of crossbows. The ones depicted for the standard Han Crossbowman are smaller personal weapons with a lower draw strength than the siege crossbows shown for the Macedonians where you need the force of your upper body to help push/pull the draw mechanism. The Han of course also had larger crossbows as well.
-
They are already differentiated by dynasty. Mauryas and Han.

Art Goals -- Release 28
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to wowgetoffyourcellphone's topic in Art Development
This is very good! It'll be in DE for A27 and in the base game for R28. The hanging banner consistent with the Pirate ship sail is a nice touch. -
I'd honestly rather it be something in the game world rather than an options menu item. But either way, that would be ideal. But to make either option attractive, we gotta rebalance capturing vs. attacking.
-
I think the problem is that building hitpoints (or resistance/armor) weren't adjusted to balance. :/
-
Even "Celts" comes from Greek "Keltoi." Is that true @Genava55?
-
True, so it makes sense to differentiate.
-
We did group them when it was 1 civ. We only differentiated them by name when we split them up into their constituent civs.
-
I'm actually partial to naming the civ Cimbri again. I've done so in my own mod.

The game is built in English, so "Germans" and "Germany" is correct in English. And in the German language as far as I know, the word for Germanic people is Germanen.

Why 0 A.D. Units Prefer Buildings Over Enemies!
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to leopard's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Indeed. The real problem is that it takes too long to destroy a building. -

wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to leopard's topic in Gameplay Discussion
I don't think this behavior is much different from A26, except they would try to capture it instead of destroying it. -
A27: Very poor performance on weak hardware?
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Meister's topic in Bug reports
I lose this one, lol: I try some kind of flanking thing. Need to perfect it better. -

Attacking in formation
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Emacz's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Looks better, but one of the problems with formations is that they auto-focus attacks onto one target, so there is a ton ton ton of overkill (lost attack value). Ideal, units within formation should spread their attacks across the full width of the formation. -
The Problem With Hippocrates
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Thorfinn the Shallow Minded's topic in General Discussion
I like Socrates as a hero because he actually fought in battles as a hoplite before becoming the famous philosopher. He even saved Alcibiades' life, I believe, when the Athenians were routed at the Battle of Delion, and was given a commendation for bravery. His execution was a reactionary blight on the Athenian government, similar in my mind to what they did to all of those poor generals and admirals after that naval battle they won (lol). You wouldn't disqualify Thucydides for having been banished, would you? -
This couldn't, well, be less abstract?

The Problem With Hippocrates
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Thorfinn the Shallow Minded's topic in General Discussion
Right. I was thinking his nearby presence could make a building work faster (productionqueue; training and research). -
The Problem With Hippocrates
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Thorfinn the Shallow Minded's topic in General Discussion
I propose this: Keep Hippocrates, but move him to the Greek shrines, that way you can capture a shrine and then train him (just once per player). He's not bound to any specific civ. For an Athenian non-combat hero, I suggest Socrates and we come up with some other kind of bonus for him besides healing. Perhaps the Athenian version of the Han Minister or (Maur) Chanakya. -
Attacking in formation
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Emacz's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
At some point, yeah. Just takes someone with coding experience to get annoyed by the current behavior and create a PR fixing/extending it. -
Attacking in formation
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Emacz's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Formation attacking in general is bugged.
