Animals enhacement
Gurken Khan replied to cephalotus's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
I never encountered these in the game. Do you mean wolves instead of foxes? Agree. That's also why I'm fine with boars not attacking on their own; they used to, it was changed. Disagree. A lot of animals flee. I don't think it would be good if they were faster. Have you ever watched a camel rider chase a gazelle across half the map? It would only get worse. Disagree. Especially in the beginning they pose a real threat; with the uneven distribution they'd potentially seriously disadvantage a player. Agree. It was discussed before, guess nothing came of it. -
Hooray? Noticed the xp thing later. Guess I had them in the oven too long. Now I know, but I initially expected dudes who also could work... Do you have a suggestion?
-
I wanted elite spearmen and now I have city guards. Why? What do I have to avoid to not loose more of my elite spearmen? I'd like an upgrade button instead of a conversion I didn't ask for.
-
Yes, it's terrible. "Convert Infantry to Marian Legionaries" - infantry encompasses all pedestrian soldiers; if swordsmen are meant it should say that. "... and cavalry to Auxiliaries" - what cavalry and what the heck are auxiliaries? They're not in the structure tree. Neither is "conscript infantry".
-
It was on the minimap and had the birds overhead, but that wasn't really my point. Yeah. This used to be more common, I would like it to not happen.
-
Yesterday the game froze on foothills; it wasn't completely dead as the birds kept on chirping. After ~20 minutes of not responding I gave up and killed it. No error logs, last thing noted was something loading successfully. If I catch anything I will post it. Something more concrete: fish in land on Scythian Rivulet

@Grautvornix It's not "kind of "loot"", it's loot, as shown in the stats. As far as I'm aware it's 10% of unit costs + carried res and 20% for buildings, so very much related to the original costs. The fixed amounts are also shown in the structure tree.
-
This topic comes up from time to time, so far no consensus to implement it has resulted from that. Can't remember the last time I had to "move" a building. Depending on the civ I know what I want to build, so I try to plan my lots accordingly.
-
Yes, that's the current proposal from @wowgetoffyourcellphone. They used to be able to shoot by default. I guess I'd be fine with that tec. That may be. In this case I feel it was the project lead who told me that (I might be wrong), and the devs appear to have sufficiently agreed with it, else it wouldn't have been implemented. (Although my understanding is that a lot of devs don't actually play that much.)

From what I remember it was argued that iber had too much of an advantage when the joints were able to fire.

And then have the view of a random unit? I got pretty good finding those fishing boats. ^^ But I believe for a while now those fishing boats don't count as survivors anymore, only building and fighting units. (Split thread?)

Could still be enemies alive, maybe on a ship. If the game wasn't exited before, saving and watching the replay would answer that.

Improving the AI
Gurken Khan replied to Yekaterina's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
@Outis You can choose the AI's behavior in the match setup (click on the cog). -
Hurray for more garrison flags!
-
I believe the crew is built-in; additional passengers would make the ship slower, due to increased weight. (Don't implement that!)

I make them and get their health upgrade; they mostly sit in their ministry and produce trickle, I try to group as much research heavy buildings around so they can pop over and earn their cost. When I'm done with research in the fortress they join my army as champs.
-
@Adriano0ad Look how other people did it and copy that. I think Delenda Est for example has an extra resource.

Just curious discussion: The dress of the Thespians
Gurken Khan replied to Phalanx's topic in General Discussion
How do you know who's playing what role if all actors wear the same? -
Ah, got it wrong. Did you file a proper report (and still have the replay)?
-
I always felt like ships were ~doubled in size after the maps were made; I would very much welcome a reduction in size. By hovering your cursor over their sword & shield icon you could see their stats?
-
AFAIK all diplomatic changes are announced via messages to all, so provided you didn't continue from a save in the meantime you can look it up in the chat. The player's enemies were defeated, I guess that's the point. Apart from that I once again propose a diplomacy matrix where the player can see all diplomacy settings of the other players.

Just was curious about your opinions. Yesterday I captured a CC and couldn't build spearmen and jav cav from it, hardly exotic units. Strictly speaking it might not be arbitrary, but when I capture from a random civ neighbor it does feel random if I then can produce the same units as in my OG buildings. "The former tenant didn't do it" doesn't really convince me.
