Introducing the Official community mod for Alpha 26
alre replied to wraitii's topic in Gameplay Discussion
what about changing the multiplier for inf spears and pikes? 5x maybe? -

it's called "introducing a new subject". -

what I meant is I don't see noticeable effects of acceleration on inf vs cav gameplay. unit chasing with equal speed units is different in this regard, although one must factor running. -

melee inf should all deal twice the damage it deals now. that would solve the problem. -

I'm guessing 99999 m/s2 would still be hardly noticeable. let's hear for the math of @LetswaveaBook. -

I remember noticing from a25 that added value of champions was greater for cav than inf. it's like buying a minigun that can be either carried by hand mounted on a pickup. the minigun is expensive, but the pickup is cheap; if you can have the pickup, why would you carry the gun by hand? I must say I played a26 very very little though. -
Message System / Simulation2
alre replied to phosit's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
when I watched into it (a couple of months ago), the c++ function that is always called from javascript just run a query over all units. -
Message System / Simulation2
alre replied to phosit's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
I believe range queries used by fighitng routines and auras could be optimized wildly by implementing a matrix of moving units such as that used by the pushing component - in fact, no reason to use another one, that one would do just right. I don't know c++ enough to try this change myself though, and it sounds absurd to remake it in javascript (although that would probably be an improvement already). -
the strategic difference is that corrals are a long term strategy, because they require more resources and micro for the build up, while farms are faster and immediately productive, but less efficient in the long run. I don't love how corrals work, but they used to be fun sometimes. In A24 I used corrals a lot.

Why music is not respected as an art nowadays
alre replied to Pemulis's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
in the last years it has came up as a trend for younger people to watch movies while also playing games on the phone or using social media. I've quite picked up this vice. music is not alone. -
I will note that, when crossbowmen were given these stats, it was not in the intention of anybody to make them particularly strong against other ranged units. it's not necessary to keep them so, they can be changed.

Civ: Germans (Cimbri, Suebians, Goths)
alre replied to wowgetoffyourcellphone's topic in Delenda Est
wild idea: maybe peoples like germans and britons should not have a wonder. a bit sad but also maybe a nice differentator: they can only push for a conquest victory while the opponent alone can chose to go for the wonder. -

I don't believe I'm making any assumption, I'm just suggesting solutions after you suggested problems. -
Can or should 0 AD move past melee meat shield+ dps ranged?
alre replied to PyrrhicVictoryGuy's topic in Gameplay Discussion
they were in a23, maybe a24 too. swordsmen were faster than spearmen time back, I think. -
Production Building Batch Training (Barracks and Blacksmiths)

exactly, it happens to me as well. -
Introducing the Official community mod for Alpha 26
alre replied to wraitii's topic in Gameplay Discussion
guys I have a concern: currently a good half of the online players have never adopted the community mod. I hope when the next iteration is released, a big effort is made to have them use the mod as well, otherwise half of the players will br playing one game, and the other half will be playing another, significantly different one. -

nice. never noticed. mid game is currently the calmest moment of a game, I wouldn't mind making aggression easier. also keeping armies under fire is expensive, no less than having farms under threat. and finally because the CC is cheaper, it makes sense to supplement it with defensive buildings to defend it from hordes of slingers, or to lose it to them (it's cheaper to rebuild and it's cheaper to get a backup one). this I oppose. a fort that you can build in the hearth of your enemy territory is a p3 building to me. -
devs gonna make a new mistake in a26
alre replied to king reza the great's topic in Gameplay Discussion
totally possible by changing the batch training time multiplier of embassies, but I don't know if this can work with to mercs trained in buildings along with CSs. -

range is fine now I think. it needs to be no less than that of archers, for adequate protection. I would reduce the max number of arrows from CCs: now it's 23, which makes the CC super strong even in p3. that's too many arrows for a civilian building, there's fortresses and towers to provide that kind of fire. -
what's 0/10? the number of workers? in that case the wood icon would be misleading I believe.

yeah, use google instead, much better.
