Arg, unfortunately I am neither But would love to work with people who can help create props, art work for CWA. We have a lot of new ideas, like brit hill forts etc, but cant use any new actors yet

I love these! I would like to do stuff like this, but I only know how to create icons with AI. I tried to get it to help me create some new props and what not for buildings but it said 0ads coding/way of doing it was too complicated and not worth it. OR at least something along those lines. Do you know how to actually make new actors, props etc? Or just created the images?

I didnt even notice it on moderngui, will need to study more carefully.

Wait, call to arms button? I must be nub. I agree do some degree. But I still think from a practicality/logical point of view; if you are out working the fields and you see an enemy raiding party, or more importantly one of your comrades is being attacked chances are you are going to take up arms and defend, or retreat if your opponent is really good, and you are nub like myself and they are attacking from 2 or more areas, you might just be focusing on one and not realizing you are being attacked somewhere else.

I am already receiving grief for farms not being able to be placed next to ccs There can be too much realism, as I think @Thalatta has mentioned too. But this is something that has annoyed me, especially if you have a women chopping wood and she gets attacked, fleas and all the men right next to her keep chopping wood... Or even if its another soldier... it just doesn't make sense to let you friends get attacked and you mind your own business and keep gathering resources. I think maybe a stance would work better. If there are enmey within x range and ur in that stance you will always attack first gather resources second. But you dont want them chasing.... Ill have to talk to op @stevenlau about if we can code something to help...

@Asher here are three examples of Athens Spearman. Keep in mind you still can't attack in formation, and brace is stand guard. So if you are in Phalanx and Brace, you only receive the extra resistances until you engage. You can't move with both of them because brace is 0 movement.

I can create some in a little I think, making some minor adjustments now that these new features are added. IE pike and spear dmg reduced if they are in normal stance .

A couple more new ideas/features thanks to @stevenlau Pikeman/Spearman went set to stand ground receive "brace" mixin bonuses. Formations can now have - resistance to help offset some of the speed bonuses! So it may be risky to use certian formations, but they decrease travel time.

Here is an updated version of the manual I am working on. Thoughts? Is this helpful for you? Things you would like to see added?? Thanks! CWA_Simplified_Manual_Alpha2_manual_layout_proposal.pdf

can you give me an example? and where do you get the warning?

how? I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

It’s being implemented in Classical Warfare AEA! We don’t quite have the attack part yet, but at least you can receive bonuses while in formation for moment. In particular Phlanax and Testudo. I may add/tweak a few more.

Oh ok so I think you do need @stevenlau for that.

Yes, if you get Ahisma (all units), you gather berries faster and farm faster, but gather meat slower... whether ur a horse, civilian or soldier. germs civilians gather meat 100% faster, you can see it in stats. IT says civilians, there is only one type of civilian unit, dont confuse it with citizen

How?

OP! Thanks!!

yes sir!

Can you control just gaining resistance from ranged attacks, for example? Sorta, but not 100%. Are you referring specifically to Testudo? in Testudo they get +3 pierce, +1 H/C resistance but move 40% slower.... The main issue right now is pierce is both a ranged and melee attack. I'm not sure if you can do pierce from ranged only, would need to talk to Steven about that. We also have a charge attack, raider and shock They do what the github says they do Charge - Charge the enemy and do intiial +10 Crush and 2.5 Hack/Pierce dmg but lose 1 of each resistance while charging Shock - Gain 15% walk speed and 20% accleration Raiders - Raiders 20% faster walk speed and +0.5 capture attack but 5% slower run speed

Haha yeah, obviously he had to do something there. Cause I think I tried playing around with it in the past and never got it to show up.

I don’t know if he had to do anything in the background. But check out the formation templates. I was able to do it there. It took a while to figure out speed. I can explain more later But @stevenlauis the real hero.

Thanks to @stevenlau we now have formation bonus working for testudo/phalanx. You gain resistance but lose speed while in formation. You still cant attack in formation. We also have a charge attack, raider and shock mixins that set units apart. I can't promise everything is balanced and error free... which is why I am always looking for people to test with!

They are supposed to be the skiritai camp in p1, and the perioikoi town in p2. Basically where you can train "allies"

@Thalatta better?

templates for mods too!

Should be an ez fix
