soloooy0 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 that elephants can break trees (to open roads and in case they get stuck) Iberians and Lusitanians with Frisian fields, to jam battering rams and break infantry formations. that the siege towers serve to be able to capture and the Macedonian siege towers can carry artillery inside them. what more than one wants, a way to detect the last troops of the enemy, that requires some condition, like that the enemy has less than 10% of maximum pop or has no zone of influence. also make it so that mercenaries can take resources or give a raise to the workers, like women used to do T.T.

Nullus Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 It would be nice to have battalions implemented at some point. If I understand correctly, this would be fairly easy to add, at least in a basic form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nullus Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 What I had in mind was a system where players could combine groups of soldiers into battalions. Players could give orders to a battalion as a whole, and all of the soldiers in the battalion would obey them, for example move and attack orders. Players could group soldiers into battalions and break battalions apart into individual soldiers. That way, citizen-soldiers would still be useful for more micromanagement for economy during peacetime, but they could also be easier to manage in battles. The description of D2175 is pretty close to what I had in mind. If people come up with more advanced ideas for battalions, they could be implemented in the future, but I think that this would be a good base for them.

Dragonoar Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 - Balancing (obviously) - Projectile trails for ranged units - Make corrals more useful, or have maps where you can't build farms - Sound & particle effects for healers - Han Chinese & Scythians - Asset rework for the older civs; Persians, Iberians, Carthage (the Greeks still look fine) - Legionaries for Rome (I mean they're already in Atlas) - Option to set default unit behavior to attack buildings instead of capturing them - Turret mechanic for ranged cavalry units - Torches for night maps (in its initial implementation they could just be night variation of buildings) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetswaveaBook Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 By the way. If you save a game and then load it again, it does not generate a correct replay file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 The replay is generated starting from the savegame iirc. It's a bit like loading a map with everything set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions: - reconsider the availability of Cretan merc archers only at dock/trireme (Athenians); I'd love to have archers, but there's not a single puddle on the map (like a lot of MP maps) - reconsider potentially useless team bonuses (ele bonus for non-ele civ, naval bonus on land maps...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyrrhicVictoryGuy Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Less ranged play and more melee action. Give Macedon champions upon reaching phase 3 without the need to research the tech. More hero variety as in, tweak some very good heroes and add new bonuses to weak heroes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so for "naval" heroes, such as Themistocles, I think it could be possible to have a tech pair, where you can choose 1 of 2 auras for him to have. So, he'd have his naval aura as a possible choice, and then perhaps a walls/fortress aura, and the player can choose which one for him to unlock. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declare all Delenda Estians terrorists? ;P Since I had massive stability problems with previous alphas I didn't feel like experimenting, I might check out mods like DE in a25.

Replace the cavalry template with siege tower template 2. Tweak the siege tower template slightly 3. Replace siege tower actor with cavalry actor Just tell me what stats you want and I will make it for you. I think the Scythians and Parthians deserve this feature, as this was how Rome was smashed at Carrhae. Hmm, why has no-one mentioned Parthians yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of the horse that rotates it's the guy riding the horse, so archer cavs behave more realistically also allows for parthian shot and run n gun gameplay a la horse archers in total war (which could be annoying and/or OP). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I hate this feature, it's just that unless I micromanage everything, my soldiers often try to capture a building alone and end up getting shot by towers, or just waste their time because the capture point won't go down. at least with default attack behavior they help reduce the building's HP. it doesn't help either that they can't prioritize which buildings to capture first. like I don't need the houses or their farmsteads I need the barracks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdag Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Some sort of fatigue would be cool for a mod. Only replenishes when near a building which is tied to an area that has a civic center(to prevent capturing a building and instantly being replenishes) Fatigue affects move speed and armor/attack/combat. That way an attacking army that wins has a decreasing effectiveness over time. Maybe some way to control running/walking more. Maybe if they haven't run for 30 seconds then their next command will run for the first 5 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
