Aeros Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 That likely won't be very hard to do, Argalius We'll definatly be experiamenting with that durring playtesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion_13 Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Collateral damge please!so when you have a heap of archers shoot into a crowd they do damge to units the arrows hit if its not their target.like when you turn collateral damge on in aomIt makes archers sooo much more effective! and realistc.allied damage should be optional for offline but online shouldnt be used, unless those settings are made by the host so everyone gets the same settings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 LOL, that was debated back and forth a lot when I was still on the team...I don't know of the final decision, but I'm pretty sure collateral damage as far as arrows are concerned won't be in the game.

Mythos_Ruler Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I was unaware that "collateral damage" was an option in AOM . . . . . . . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 From what my poor memory can recollect of the design document, archers have 2 modes of fire. One is volley (aka shoot a ton of arrows at a concentrated group and do damage to all or most of them, kinda like the archer model in Rome Total War), and the main one is the standard aim at a target and fire.Just like with all of our wacky and seemingly innovative ideas, we have to test these out in-game to see how much of an advantage, disadvantage, or nuisance they'll be, so we can't promise everything.

TrashA Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 about the horses standing in deeper water then non horse units. well, thats kinda unfair for civs with bad horse units. imagin my army of horse archer units standing in deep water and killing your nicly formed army and you cant do a thing about it except run, while i mow down your units. Not a nice sight for you to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 And that's one of the many things we have to test and balance for, which we'll do when testing starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it shouldn't be a very big difference, because the men on the horses aren't that much higher than infantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion_13 Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I like the idea of those two modes, the voley mod would make formations more inportant when approching an army.I was unaware that "collateral damage" was an option in AOM . . . . . . . . . . .

Aeros Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 AoM's meteors didn't deform the terrain, they just added a crater texture to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion_13 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 the heka gigantes spc attack deforms itAlso, if in the editor you can scale units (hopefully you can, if not im sugesting it) make sure that the attachpoints scale with the unit unlike aom, that is so annoying to scale something and find its head levitating 10 metres above it.

Aeros Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 We'll obviously be trying to avoid that. From the way we do our attatchment points (we call them prop points, and we call attatchments "props"), I don't think we'll get anything weird like that, though we have yet to find out.the heka gigantes, you're right, that was a kick-@#$% attack the way it moved the terrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nawen Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Just wondering: will there be magicans in every sivilisasjon and what kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Giant Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Since 0 A.D. is a historically based real time strategy game, I guess you won't be seing anything like magicians in it - since there is no proven evidence of any magician, wizard or witch and their abilities. We try to keep quite near to real history, as long as gameplay doesn't require otherwise.For fantasy stuff, you'll likely have to wait for TLA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
