0AD - Is it 2D or 3D - like SWG, ETC.

[Lorian]

Lol you should have left that in there as a cheat code, it would have been funny

[Aeros]

Remember the old build in summer where you could send houses to walk (or probably better: "hover") around the map? 

Hahahah, one of the more enjoyable bugs that we've had Later on when the game is playable I'm seriously considering modding my own gamemode where you can move buildings like in that one bug, I wonder how interesting that would make gameplay

[Lorian]

Ya gotta make it so it moves around on other players computers even if they don't hve the mod, that's would be hilarious

[Wijitmaker]

move buildings like in that one bug, I wonder how interesting that would make gameplay

A forshadowing of the Huns perhaps?

[Bakayaro]

Buildings ought not move:

If I recall properly, the huns' yurts were movable, but those can be made into supplier units, like Overlords from SC.

Moving buildings has some flavor issues, in my opinion.

Charge of the Possesed Towers! Sounds more like a TLA thing.

[av_nefardec]

TLA only has packable homesteads for the Rohirrim.

[Titus Ultor]

Aw. Towers with ten insect legs would be cool.

[Dnas]

Well, our engine will be highly moddable. You can do something like that.

[Lorian]

Lolol

[Titus Ultor]

I have no skills, though. I might be able to make a blob that slides from place to place.

[Centurion_13]

I dont think you would have to worry, we're making it pretty easy to mod

[Paal_101]

Plus the Huns will be completely mobile

[Titus Ultor]

Those dastardly barbarians.

Ye more ye better -

once controlling a few "Cohortes" POP Cap of 150 seem very low, especially when you want to put several (big) Armies at different Locations -

and such Stuff - ye more ye better - (that is important for example for BIG Maps)

The Game Engine should be the Limit (so if there are maximum 8000 Units possible to be managed for example, and the Game is going to have 8 PLayers max - then take 1000 for example)

you could also make some other "requirements" for HIGH Pop Counts that Limits the possible Maximum of Units in another Way - for example additional Settlements or special technologies that help raising Population-CAP (Medical Things, or better Food/Farm-Technologies - or there can be only a certain Number of Units produced in a while, becasue of another resource "Population" - and if you "train" you also need to pay Population, and some Buildings produce this automatically (and also imaginable that some Technologies improve this - or there are several Buildings that will produce "Population" (with a different Rate), and there could be also Buildings that cap the MAXIMUM REAL (not the "resource") Population (for example with 1 "main Settlement" Building you could hae POP100 - makes 10 "main Settlement Buildings for (theoretical) POP 1000 - Houses need to be placed nevertheless of course to make this theoretical POP useable)

but maybe thats all not nessessary and just a POP-Limit of 1000 (or more or less of course) is ok

- thats my Opinion (more Units more Fun, combined with a nice "System" thats Limits this somehow it also offers more and additional strategic elements)

[StrikerShot21]

How about this. The pop cap depends on how many players are playing. If 8 people are playing then each player can have maybe 200 units. If only two people are playing, you can have around 500. Just a thought.
