Lion.Kanzen Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 I did a cavalry but they said it was horrible. That doesn't help wanting to make icons. I withdraw from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_tabasco_sauce Posted October 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 This doesn't look bad to me. I can't draw at all lol, I just take and edit images. That is my art hobby at least. If these upgrades are accepted, we will be needing a new nisean war horses upgrade, because I moved chamfron.png to the chamfron upgrade. I think with some changes to the your illustration, it could work for nisean war horses. I think the horse needs to be more tan colored tho. Might need some references.

real_tabasco_sauce Posted October 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 longer pikes (256x256) and (128x128) honestly 128 looks no worse to me: what do u think? Unfortunately, merging each pike onto the next blurred out some of them. However, it adds kind of a nice depth of field. I do like though that it shows the use of pikes (in a group). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 they should be less obvious with copyrighted material. There is an Alexander who is Collin Farrell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_tabasco_sauce Posted October 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) scouting tactics (could also be called scouting parties) should maybe be an eye, or maybe a map with something on it. Im not quite sure. Here is an idea: some tracks (horse, footprints) in dirt. Edited October 23, 2022 by real_tabasco_sauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_tabasco_sauce Posted October 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Ah yes thats better! I'm thinking the scouting one could be a bunch of horse tracks in some dirt, then the background could made greenish for trees. Definitely a more difficult one to make.

real_tabasco_sauce Posted November 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) I am thinking I could use something as simple as a campfire to symbolize scouting. Isn't there already a campfire someone made? I can't find it. @wowgetoffyourcellphone are you familiar with this one? Or maybe I am just crazy? @Lion.Kanzen any idea where this is? With that last piece, I could finalize the tooltips and descriptions and add them as a merge request to the community mod.

real_tabasco_sauce Posted January 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) The main feedback I got from hesitant players was that these upgrades are complicated. So, in an effort to simplify the overall system of upgrades proposed, the upgrades now affect mercenaries as well. In addition, projectile velocity modifications have been removed since this information is not very accessible to the player and its kind of obscure. I plan on proposing these upgrades again for trial in the community mod for a27, but this will likely not be for a while. I received a suggestion to allow all civs to access all the upgrades if they have the corresponding units. advantages: simplify the system further community mod playtesters would have access to more of the available upgrades at any given time. more content in general disadvantages: possibly OP units (ex. infantry sword upgrades + iber champ swords + speed hero = very fast fellas) too many upgrades in the GUI (clutter) Edited January 29, 2023 by real_tabasco_sauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed civ based restrictions and mercenary restrictions. Now all civs can get them if they have a unit of the corresponding class. It is now simple enough to be described in one sentence. The only remaining risk would be balance concerns. I would say after trying this in community mod, I could just remove upgrades from civs as needed. most cluttered: Macedonians (kushites similar) Spoiler Average: Romans Spoiler Least cluttered: spartans Spoiler Edited January 29, 2023 by real_tabasco_sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip the Swaggerless Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 @real_tabasco_sauce I am not bothered by the clutter. I have 2 main thoughts: It will be interesting to explore the options and come up with new plans. It will add to the learning curve, and potentially increase the gap between experts on non-experts. More broadly, this is an overall buff for soldiers. Even more so than at present, time and resources will be invested in soldiers rather than defensive & civil structures and technologies, and trade.

Not sure how the placement works, but at the very least, I could order the upgrades to be in the same order as the units. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already feel like Medieval Knights with Iron Plate Armor who time traveled into antiquity! Haha nice emojis. At the time this was written, I already had a nerf written for swordcav, so this was in anticipation of players that wanted their tankiness back. It has since been reduced to +10% hp Also, the upgrades replace the two generic cavalry upgrades one of which is a 10% buff to all cavalry hp, so technically they do not gain any health with the upgrades.

They already feel like Medieval Knights with Iron Plate Armor who time traveled into antiquity! Keep in mind that the 2 basic stable upgrades that give +speed and +hp to all cavalry are gone. To be honest I think that swordcav and spearcav have mismatched armor values, with swordcav needing -1 pierce and spearcav needing +2 pierce armor. Its an issue that is aside from unit specific upgrades, kind of like the nerfs that are being discussed about melee champ cav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
