That's okay... I would wait for a couple months before you start developing for A25, so that your mod doesn't continually break because of code changes.

As for the aura problem you have, in DE I give the Gallic Carnys Player this aura: { "type": "range", "radius": 20, "affectedPlayers": ["Enemy"], "affects": ["Unit"], "modifications": [ {"value": "Attack/Melee/RepeatTime", "multiply": 1.1}, {"value": "Attack/Ranged/RepeatTime", "multiply": 1.1}, {"value": "Attack/Capture/Capture", "multiply": 0.9 }, {"value": "UnitMotion/WalkSpeed", "multiply": 0.9} ], "auraName": "Intimidation", "auraDescription": "The Carnyx Player reduces the enemy's attack and capture rates and movement speed -10%.", "overlayIcon": "art/textures/ui/session/auras/broken_sword.png", "rangeOverlay" : { "lineTexture": "outline_border.png", "lineTextureMask": "outline_border_mask.png", "lineThickness": 0.075 } } See line 4: "affectedPlayers"

Neat! Alpha 24 release or Alpha 25/SVN?

Honestly, I think they're using the method I mentioned.

Would it look weird at gameplay zoom level? Dunno.

I think the top of the body would be the "turret", while the lower body sitting on the horse would be a separate prop attacked to the horse actor. We'd then need logic that limits turret rotation angle.

Speaking of turrets. AOE4 has cav archers that fire while moving.

Why not? It's funny.

Thank you, but this doesn't work right. Hmm. Flames should billow out of the front and it should almost work like a ram, melee. If it can be hacked to look good with a ranged attack then we can go with that, but I always envisioned it like a melee attack.

I am attempting to do exactly that, but I am hitting a wall of errors. I asked @Freagarach to assist me with the template.

Alright, the only think I think that's holding them back from official release on mod.io is their Fire Raiser. It throws an error. Once I figure that out, it might be all good to go, unless someone finds another bug.

Strange how they gave the Numidian leader a Thracian cloak.

I had no idea the Jewish kingdom hired Numidians.

Theban Greeks https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/theban_greeks Concept, Discussion, Design Development Phase Testing Phase Freeze/Release Candidate Bundle; Test Bundle Release <- https://0ad.mod.io/theban-greeks

Download to test: https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/theban_greeks Ready for testing! Works with Alpha 24. Adds the Theban civilization to the game as a playable faction. They include 3 new heroes, 2 champions, custom actors, a fix for the plumed Boeotian helmet, 2 special technologies, a team bonus, and more! Will release on Mod.io in 2 weeks or sooner if all the bugs are ironed out!

I like the God Ray thing because it can be nice and subtle. It literally points at the hero. I am familiar with the "hero glow" from Age of Mythology. It's not bad. Perhaps an Option item to turn off and on.

Lol, I forgot I had the Theban Greeks civ mod laying around too. https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/theban_greeks Currently bugs out with A24. But I'll fix those and eventually make it available on Mod.io.

Teehee, I work quick! The parent cavalry template didn't have an attack specified, so I had to do it in the scout template.

I liked the "God ray" effect from Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War.

The projectiles just look so weird. Straighten those out and it immediately looks a lot better. If I look at it as a kind of 3D update for AOE2, then I like the look of everything.

That can be very possible. I might do that as well. I will try to make these mods compatible with each other: Better Scouting, Two-Gendered Citizens, and a possible Slavery mod.

I'll give this one 1-2 weeks for testing, then I'll bundle it and post it up on Mod.io. It's a small mod, so if you guys test it out for me and give me feedback I can quickly make changes and finalize everything. For those who know how, feel free to submit pull requests for changes and fixes. Otherwise, feel free to ask for changes here in this thread or to report bugs.
