[Roman Castrum]

Just need some AO maps.

[Alpha 27 Pre-release/Release Candidate Build Testing]

Hmm. I might have one somewhere. 

[Roman Castrum]

Very nice. Could definitely be used in scenarios, etc.

Nice mockup. Looks like you've thought it through.

map-rheinland-v02-patch-delanda-est.pyromod REQUIRES 0ad A27 AND map-rheinland.pyromod AND Delanda Est

I loaded this up in Atlas and the only error messages I'm getting are these:

WARNING: [ParamNode] Could not remove token 'Siege' from node 'List'; not present in list nor inherited (possible typo?)

WARNING: [ParamNode] Could not remove token 'Elephant' from node 'List'; not present in list nor inherited (possible typo?)

 

So, there's an issue with Delenda Est where there are classes removed from a list somewhere. Might be with ships. I'll look into it.

I'm at work right now. I can maybe do a deep dive tonight.

There's a least one battle won because one side took too much time to get in formation and the enemy were able to charge them before they were ready.
(no, I don't remember which battle)

Several battles actually

Missing terrains can definitely cause the map to hard crash. A27 has removed or renamed some old terrains probably. Did you start designing the map with A26?

[Rheinland map mod (WIP)]

What seems to work for me is to load the map in Atlas without DE enabled. So, base game, no mods. Boot up Atlas, load the map in Atlas. You'll get a bunch of those errors. Save the map as <filename>_EA or something different. Atlas has a cleanup feature, so the act of saving the map will remove the missing files once you reload the map. So, once it's saved as a new map, close Atlas and reopen it again and reopen your new map and see how many errors you get. You might still get a few, but the previously missing objects will be gone. At least now most of the missing files will be stricken from the map file and you can see what you need to replace. 

 

Only other way is to manually edit the map's XML file. Look in the Pyrogenesis Log file for the list of bad files and then go through the XML file and delete them by hand (or use ctrl-H and replace).

Maybe nomadic, but with Germanic aesthetics. 

[Building: Shipyard]

Everything is pushed to Github. I think everything in the first post is in, except the Fire Ship tech, but I'll do that soon.  Some costs are slightly different, but the first posts is pretty close to the current implementation.

[Strategic Campaign]

I honestly think Heroes could do that if we refocused them more and allowed the player more Hero options.

A great basis for the Seleucid cult statue?

CC0 model^. Would need an AO and Normal map baked from the high def model, and then the model streamlined to less than 2000 tris, if an artist wanted to tackle it.

well, indeed, the alpha 0.27 D.E is quite nice. the new portrait are an improvement, the coin and glory balance is better.

Thanks! Still working on it.

I had not noticed the possibility to put ranged units on the wall before, is it new to a0.27? or it is a D.E element. No bug whatsoever in the game. My son tried to play the large Egyptian map, works fine. Thumbs up altogether

Placing units on wall battlements has been in the game for a few years now.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Awesome! This implements a good deal of what we discussed in

Looking forward to testing it!

Thanks. Just about to push some more to Github. 

Admittedly, the ramming ship implementation is hacky, but works well enough for now.

[Naval Overhaul (Alpha 27)]

Patch for Naval Overhaul

https://code.wildfiregames.com/D5213

Quote

This brings a number of changes to ships.

Most consequential:
A. Removes Building AI and gives them Unit AI.
B. Creates new Warship classes with a rock-paper-scissors countering system (Scout Ships, Arrow Ships, Ramming Ships, Fire Ships, and Siege Ships)
C. Ships can now transport Relics (aka "Catafalques"), a previous mistake (IMHO)

Sound problems: Refs #4000

Ship Classes:

Scout Ship

• Available in Village Phase
• Cheap
• Small ranged attack
• Good for exploring, harassment, and small landing parties
• Outclassed by every other Warship
• Every civ should have one of these

Arrow Ship

• Available in Town Phase
• Basic medium ranged Warship; most or all civs should get one
• Good vs. Scout Ships and Ramming Ships
• Countered by Siege Ships (Arrow Ships have low crush armor)

Siege Ship

• Available in City Phase
• Heavy ranged Warship; throws catapult stones
• Good vs. Structures (2x) and Arrow Ships
• Countered by Ramming Ships (Siege Ships have low hack armor)

Ramming Ship

• Available in City Phase
• Fast melee Warship
• Good vs. Siege Ships (3x)
• Countered by Arrow Ships (Ramming Ships have low pierce armor)

Fire Ship

• Available in Town Phase to a select number of civs
• Constantly lose health
• Cause "Death Damage" when they die
• Use a Fire damage attack, so applies equally to all ships
• Countered best by Arrow Ships

 

Possible additions:
D. A "Corvus" Ship for the Romans. A special "Boarding Ship" unit that captures enemy ships instead of destroying them.
E. Make Fire Ships have an 'upgrade' to set them alight; instead of them currently starting to lose health right away, they don't lose health or cause damage until they are upgraded to Flaming. This is very easy to implement (already in DE).
F. Garrison effects in a different patch.

 

 

Patch requires the latest SVN development version of the game in order to test.

[Normal maps]

I see an effect of the normal map in Atlas only when there is direct light on the texture, not in the shadows. Why is that?

Stan is correct. To see an effect even in shadow, you need parallax. Luckily the game uses the alpha channel of the normal map for parallax, so it's just a basic height map.
