I was just saying that if you want to adjust the stats of slingers, you should determine first what role you want them to have. Are they anti-archer or anti-infantry or anti-siege or anti-building or a raider or what? Once you know that, you can match up the attack and resistance stats and see how you can achieve that role you have chosen.

I think Friendly Fire in the game as it currently exists is an unnecessary complication. It sort of works for AOE2's catapults because they have "smart" unit AI that doesn't auto-fire into masses of friendly troops. It also works in a Total War game for the same reason, and you also have to manually target your archers almost every time, so that you can choose when and where to take the risk of friendly fire. In 0 A.D., units are currently quite dumb and constantly ZERG at each other like BERSERKERS regardless of consequences.

Any stray projectile will damage an enemy entity, whether a unit or building, as long as it falls into their footprint. Friendly fire is turned off for all (most?) damage though.

Hmm, what role do you want for them? Start with that, young Padawan Designer.

Yes, but now you make slingers, who sling little rocks or lead bullets, into siege weapons (structures are crushphobic as well).

What is this obsession with giving slingers crush damage?

Forgive me... This not quite accurate. The one stat they can alter is <WalkSpeed>, which I do in DE with column (increase), wedge (greatly increase), phalanx (decrease), syntagma (decrease), and testudo (greatly decrease).

Looks good. I just think the roughness is a bit much. I think it would be smoother.

Make them some hero portraits bro.

A number of times light troops such as skirmishers were cited in primary and secondary sources as able to pepper enemy elephants with enough missiles to drive them to rout and run amok, so I think I give javelineers a 1.5x bonus vs. Elephants in DE.

Well, game designers must, you know, design the experience of the game. It's not a sandbox game after all; there must be restrictions to define the gameplay. There is something to be said for a "standard" start for everybody (with some minor exceptions, which are designed and balanced against of course). Having said that, I'm not against allowing the game host to dictate starting resource amounts, but I can already think of scenarios where a host who likes to play a stone heavy civ giving himself an unfair advantage by weighing starting resources in his favor (else everyone else would have to choose the same stone heavy civ in order to remain competitive). Perhaps rated matches would require a standard resource start, while non-rated matches would unlock the host's ability to determine.

Very few of my proposals are self-contained. Obviously I'd like to change a lot about the main game, even under this specific topic. In addition to useful and impactful structural techs that cost stone, I'd also like to make all (except outpost) defensive and military structures cost some stone as outlined in my previous.

The game needs structure and construction techs. Cost, build time, health, etc. These can cost stone and wood.

I was just being cheeky about removing stone, guys. Delenda Est has 6 resources after all. I have made many posts about how to differentiate metal and stone collection. Perhaps an intrepid forummer can dig those up.

You might as well merge stone and metal into one resource or something. Or Wood and Stone. EDIT: Or maybe I'm not understanding you.

Ah, yes. I forgot that DE starts with 500 res, while EA starts with 300. But...... since stone is a rarely used resource in the first phase, the cost might not be that bad? Else, just drop it to 200 stone instead of 300. Meh, I hate the current way EA does towers, so I subtly tried to insert DE's tower paradigm into the zeitgeist.

The map and terrain overhaul will come with some new and updated maps, some ported from Delenda Est. Perhaps 10-12 new or updated skirmish maps will showcase how the completed map overhaul will revolutionize the look of the game. Work continues.

I just think that since they are similar taiko drum tracks some people confuse the 2.

I begin the process of posting this to mod.io if no one else has any bugs or requests.

I'd make all military and defensive buildings cost an amount of stone. Barracks: 300 stone Archery Range: 100 wood, 200 stone Stables: 100 food, 200 stone Fortress: 800 stone - Move champions back to Fortress Wooden Tower: 200 wood - Upgrade to Stone Tower: 200 stone

Do mod updates need to be re-verified before setting them as 'Primary Release'?
