[Insert appreciation for idea & endeavor] [Insert cultural pseudo-excuse for rudeness], but the name doesn't wow me. :/ Maybe something with more POW and "Of GM&M" as subtitle? Others will correct me or can help otherwise. (Don't know if existing book titles could be a problem.) Probably would help if I knew more about Greek mythology to make an own suggestion. Maybe as development progresses something comes up, names like "Hephaestus' Hammer" or "The Dilemma of Prometheus" would only make sense if it's related to the gameplay.

Did you look at how tower upgrades are coded?

How to turn buildings before placing them
Gurken Khan replied to Elzakida's topic in Gameplay Discussion
That depends on the kb layout. That only makes the building disappear for me? @Elzakida Title screen > Settings, or in-game > menu you can see (and change) the hotkeys. -

Yeah, I didn't mention CCs although they're my main target. If I don't have one already pressuring the territory of my current victim I build one if possible. I like to control as much territory as possible, to gain access to additional metal, to prevent enemies' shenanigans and if the territories connect I don't have to garrison captured buildings.

@hyperion The times it happened to me I was on Vulkan and had played awhile. What I found curious: when I killed the game after 1/2hr or putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up again, there was one last entry in the log about loading something (after I sent the kill command). As that specific item didn't seem necessarily suspicious to me I didn't save it tho.

I love capturing as much infrastructure as possible. I even have an elite force to garrison those structures (my "tower guys", eight elite spearmen with a dedicated ctrl group.) For towers it helps consolidate your conquests and can also help eliminating roaming stragglers, saving you from searching for them. Barracks let me fill up my inf should I loose some, temples just because (and should I need a healing pause), and in most games (depending on the civ I RNGed) I use captured stables to ever increase my cav champs.

Mythos_Ruler's Playlist
Gurken Khan replied to Mythos_Ruler's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
RIP Tom Lehrer. For our math fans: He snuck this song as a source in a NSA paper he wrote and no-one noticed for sixty years. I will always remember him with this though: -
Limit the amount of trainable heroes in Alpha 9
Gurken Khan replied to Deicide4u's topic in Game Modification
Knowing next to nothing about coding I'd guess as per usual: copy & paste. Find how it's done now, copy it to the old source and build. I'd imagine building that old source could be quite a pain, especially if you'd have to implement that whole function into the engine. -
The Iberian conundrum - Solving a misleading patchwork
Gurken Khan replied to Genava55's topic in General Discussion
I don't think we should whatev it but look for a better name. I'm also leaning towards solution 3, if there's consensus that it is justifiable to keep them grouped together. I don't know if there are enough sources to make an interesting purely Iberian faction and just going by gut-feeling I doubt it for the other groups. -

For years I've been told "theoretically yes" but no-one ever was able or willing to elaborate. Just having a franknfile in my saves made the game crash. Maybe it's more robust now, but just in case know that you have to delete it from outside the game.

Hello @HeWhoWanders, welcome to the forums. I'm not really certain where all the anger and frustration comes from. Is it because you can't beat one hard AI after a week of playing? It's certainly possible, but you might need more experience. If the previous replies didn't give you enough to go on, people here will answer questions, but just ranting and generally saying that your attacks aren't successful aren't good cues to give you hints.

The meaning of Aggressive and Defensive AI
Gurken Khan replied to vanz's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Sure. But I like to manage XP, especially with my healers; so I like to gather my holy bunch ASAP and take it from there. Probably because they're fully garrisoned, then it's a real pain: hard to capture, loads of arrows... If necessary I do "inhale, exhale": attack, if they garrison withdraw out of sight so they come out, rinse & repeat. -
The meaning of Aggressive and Defensive AI
Gurken Khan replied to vanz's topic in Gameplay Discussion
I like to take ten healers along on my "great peace & unity world tour", they mostly negate any losses, even when capturing CCs. (Put 'em on aggressive so they don't fn flee when they catch a stray arrow.) -

Blacksmith : Weapon or Armor? Slash or Piercing?
Gurken Khan replied to vanz's topic in Gameplay Discussion
I go for the ranged (pierce) first, usually armor then dmg. -
As a note to our international noobs: that depends on the keyboard layout; I never changed anything and it is 'Z' for me. Hotkeys can be reviewed and changed from the menu.

The limit is lifted when the limit is reached??? Anyway, was there a change? I remember a number of new members being stopped cold when posting too often (five posts in three days?)...
