wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I like these, but I'll probably use them as outpost upgrades in DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm a bit concerned with the wooden tower icon the title "wooden tower" in the first place, since most of these models look like they include stone. So perhaps we could rename it to light, little or small tower or similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentry Tower Upgrades to Guard tower, very like AoE Classic. can be nice buildable in neutral territory, I miss tower rush from Aok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordGood Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I saw the new alpha had a defense tower upgrade on the wee towers. It makes me wonder if we could do a full progression like AOE had, but selectively. And perhaps make defense towers non-buildable, only an upgrade? I gotta say I miss the good ol ballista towers of the original AOE, selective upgrading sounds like it gives just enough control to make defense towers both powerful and balanced. Also selective upgrading from wood towers means we can recycle the defense tower icon. I'm all for renaming the wood tower, in any case. Sentry<guard<defense<ballista? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Ok, so let's go with Guard Tower for alpha 21? (If one unit can upgraed into another, we have to ensure that the building requirements are met. Outposts can be built everywhere, towers only in own territory. That could be solved by code though (preventing the upgrade if the build requirements are not met).) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm partial to sentry tower. Might just be due to my exposure to aoe/aom having guard towers as higher tier. guard tower seems to have a bit more weight behind it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shieldwolf23 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Definitely, progression for towers would be a logical choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Committed "Sentry Tower" in r18786 yesterday. An updated icon could be used (though not essential for this release). Adding stone cost would change the gameplay significantly, even if it's only 25. So perhaps it's good as is for now. Progression is a nice concept. Also the XP system for units should become more prevalent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
