You also then need some GUI code work, which shows levels. Just mentioning it, in case someone wants to make a patch.

Just to add additional opinion and muddy the water and assure inaction: I hate the term "resistance" altogether and much prefer the term "armor." But to answer the question as to why the armor, uh, resistance is calculated the way it is, is that each "level" of armor takes away exactly 10% less damage than the value before it. Look at it this way. If you keep adding 10% on top of 10% you're not reducing the incoming damage by an equal amount each time, you're reducing the incoming damage by a greater amount each time, actually. 10% armor against an incoming attack of 10 hack, gives a received damage of 9. A reduction of 1 from 10. Research a tech that adds another 10% armor on top. That gives you 20% armor now. 20% armor against an incoming attack of 10 hack, gives a received damage of 8. The incoming attack is reduced by another whole 1 point. But 1 point from 9 is not 10%, it's 11%. Each new 10% you add ontop of the armor exacerbates the issue. It's "easier to understand" for players, but negatively affects gameplay. "Levels" were introduced to fix this. Each additional level takes the above problem into account and cancels it out, so that each new level reduces received damage by exactly 10%. That's why Level 1 armor is 10%, but Level 2 armor is 19% (not 20%).

For Alpha 19 or?

Let's see if he shows up. I hope he doesn't mind if I use the word "Mythos."

Elon Musk is a parasite. That is all.

I was thinking further into the idea of an Age of Mythology mod for 0 A.D. Such a mod would entail quite a bit of work, obviously, in the form of Myth Unit models, animations, and scripting God Powers. "Favor" as a resource would be pretty simple to implement (nearly identical to Delenda Est's "Glory" resource), and many of the regular human and hero units can be reskins of units already in the game. Choosing "Minor Gods" already has a proof of concept in Delenda Est's "Hero Selection" feature. All of that is true. But I was thinking further into the mythological aspect after playing the latest Hyrule Conquest release and hit upon having two types of civs in such mod: Human and Magical. Human civs are obvious, but the Magical civs would 100% be mythologically based. Amazons Centaurs Draugar Djin Dryads at al. Just brainstorming here.

@vladislavbelov and @Freagarach might have information as well.

Have you tried Delenda Est? What do you think about the Slaves implementation? A tech which unlocks War Elephants for the Romans would be cool. Train them at the Fortress with a match limit. Maybe 5 or 10? The Romans indeed used War Elephants about a half-dozen times (a couple times against their own in civil wars).

This is actually super cool and would love to try a mod like this. The blocks could have flags (like the formation standards in A26), that also have the unit type on them like in R2TW. I grew up watching documentaries on PBS, History Channel, and BBC where they would often use blocks like this to detail battles. Many books do it too.

Maybe? Perhaps that's what's missing. Where does it go? Health?

A turreted unit on a wall just ungarrisons when the wall is destroyed. I personally think they should die. Depends what others want I guess.

Somewhat true, but it also depends on the rig.

lol, depends. The poly count for the soldiers and props would be reduced by half and you'd probably not have many battalions, maybe 10. lol. Anyway, hypothetical is hypothetical.

The only problem with that patch as-is, is that the catapult doesn't die when the ship does. lol IMHO, turreted units should die when the turret dies. That includes walls and any other structure we might add it to (fortress for example).

Yeah, the building "details" are scaled to fit. Yeah, if you're reducing unit sizes by 50-75%, then you'd for sure need battalions. And not just 18-24 units per battalion like my proposal. 64+

So, yes, this is nice. Heavy Warships can come with catapults already turreted. In my suggestion, these would be smaller than normal catapults to fit on "bireme" sized Quinqeremes. Garrisoning troops onboard can still add to arrow count if we want.

There never can be consensus on anything. lol If anything, I'd go the opposite route and forget about "units on the deck" and turretable stuff (unless the ships comes automatically with a turreted catapult or it's some kind of upgrade). Manually placing stuff on the decks would be a pain for anything more than a half-dozen ships. If you just want small squadrons of ships for your naval combat, then I guess that's fine, but you still have the huge problem of the scale of the current ships. I think the engine should allow for manually turretable things, but the core game should streamline the ship combat and shrink the ships to around the current "bireme" size.

Right, but their units are making mincemeat of your meat shield. And now since your meatshield is dead, their meatshield can walk right up and kill your archers.

When you select a group of units, the UI chooses a "primary" unit to determine a few things, such as sounds. I think the primary unit in a selection is determined by "Entity uid". While this isn't ideal to say the least (IMHO, it should go by preferred class, so Hero->Champion->etc.), it's probably efficient. Unfortunately, in this case if the unit with a lowest uid in the selection doesn't have acknowledgement sounds then you won't hear anything.

Question. Why would the player want their archers to ignore the enemy's meat shield? Whoever wins the meat shield fight usually wins the battle. It's something I've been meaning to ask.

This one here is my biggest peeve. Any hero or unit with a training limit reached turns the queue off. Ideally, the queue should only queue up 1 instance of the hero, similar to techs.

Thank you for parsing the issue. This is the solution I went with and it fixed the issue! @anony5496 This will be fixed in the next release.

The Seleucid idea sounds like something out of a single-player campaign.

Not a bad reference. The iron parts could be different colors/metals.

No, only wood and stone.
