Introducing the Official community mod for Alpha 26
real_tabasco_sauce replied to wraitii's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Also, I just made an icon for the Nisean war horses upgrade so that the "chamfron" upgrade can use the chamfron.png icon. @wowgetoffyourcellphone now all the icons are taken care of. -

ok, I'll remove the diminishing returns part, since this is an obscure game mechanic that might be removed anyway. I think the building and resource cost is good on its own. Also, an update on centurions: Rank 3 swordsmen may be upgraded to centurions which are strong champions with an aura: +10% damage and -25% promotion experience. 3 things remain, however: 1. I need to add a limit to them (8 maybe). 2. give them a cost to upgrade. 3. ensure that the auras do not stack. -

wait, is it 90 percent for each farmer, or only for the added farmer? In any case, it could be removed or changed to .95 if it is too OP for seles. -
unit auras stackability
real_tabasco_sauce posted a topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Do unit auras stack by default? I am trying to design an aura for a possible centurion unit, but everything I can think of would be OP if they stack. Thanks, -sauce -

yeah not huge, but it's substantial. The main thing is that its present for the whole game time, unlike the discount on construction. -

90% return, so i think it's each additional farmer is 90 percent of the previous one. 1st farmer = 100% 2nd farmer = 90% 3rd farmer = 90% * 90% = 81% 4th farmer = 73% 5th farmer = 65% Maybe I am wrong tho. in theory, you would get pretty good benefits from spreading your women out after you move some to a woodline. -

also, I added a merge request for unit specific upgrades, after I finally found an image for the last upgrade. https://gitlab.com/0ad/0ad-community-mod-a26/-/merge_requests/25/diffs take a look, this could be a large content drop for the community mod. -

no, this is for farmers here. -

perhaps yes. Maybe this is something we could remove if it proves to be OP. -

I called it "fertile crescent" It should help with seles need for food, in particular for eles and cavalry, two Seleucid strengths. -

Ok everyone, I found a good civ bonus for Seleucids: farms -25% cost, -75% build time, and no diminishing returns for farmers. How does this sound? This way the bonus works in the short term, but also a little bit in the long term. here is the merge request: https://gitlab.com/0ad/0ad-community-mod-a26/-/merge_requests/24/diffs -

Try them with Boudicca tho. -

real_tabasco_sauce replied to wraitii's topic in Gameplay Discussion
yes, of course. As the merge request is written, rams are still a phase 3 unit, but just infantry may be trained during p2. At the time, I wasn't sure if an hp reduction was necessary as well, but I might still implement a few of these suggestions. Thanks. -

already done, see the merge request I previously linked. I agree, we don't need nearly 400 HP champ cav XD. I believe its closer to 13 percent, 300->260 for melee. -

Thats unfortunate. -

yes, engine changes and other important stuff (hopefully some improvements to performance ). Its very unlikely that the mod can be copy-pasted, but something similar could easily be rewritten. -

My understanding is that it will be incorporated into a27 after more important engine changes and stuff. -

@chrstgtr the noble cavalry are spear cavalry. Rome is the only civ with champ swordcav, and they are pretty OP. -

https://gitlab.com/0ad/0ad-community-mod-a26/-/merge_requests/22/diffs this addresses melee champ concerns as well as ranged champs and ranged CS cav. -

Also If anyone has an Agis idea, I’d be happy to hear it. -

@Philip the Swaggerless nice idea, I don’t really see any major conflict with Phillip II, since the Phillip II’s aura only effects champions. -

k all done: merge requests:https://gitlab.com/0ad/0ad-community-mod-a26/-/merge_requests branches comparison: https://gitlab.com/real_tabasco_sauce/0-a-d-community-mod-unit-specific-upgrades/-/compare/main...cav_speed?from_project_id=36954588&straight=false https://gitlab.com/0ad/0ad-community-mod-a26/-/merge_requests/22/diffs These 2 shouldn't make a very big difference overall, but I expect them to help bring down cavalry's survivability. Feel free to comment on other merge requests I have submitted. I did one lowering crush armor, one for allowing the roman army camp in p2, and one for adjusting pikemen damage/armor. also, there is a slight crossbow nerf. -

what about this? the cav speed nerf (is -1 m/s too much?) and this might be enough for the near term. -

real_tabasco_sauce replied to wraitii's topic in Gameplay Discussion
I think they should be differentiated units, rather than just superior versions of infantry. What do you think of the health nerf I provided? Would you agree ranged cav are also too tanky? I would say the health branch + nerfed jav cav damage + slight speed decrease is ideal. you can change that in options->session->battalions
