Definitely too soon to release that. Wait for the conflict to end and maybe give it a year or so until everyone semi-forgets it (probably because we're all getting swamped by another new variant of COVID)

I mean it's the slog of getting past the Peacekeepers and then needing to use an item to survive the last one at the door. If an item wasn't required to beat it (and hence an item wasn't completely wasted if you stepped on a mine) it would be fine by me even if it takes a lot of tries to beat it. He...

It is indeed from AOMW Each Peacekeeper will immediately engage you after you open a door, leaving you with 4 health after dispatching them all. Since they do 5 damage to you, and they can see you from outside the building, one will camp in the forest outside the front door. Open it, and they dash i...

Peacekeepers move too fast and you can't escape them, plus they'll always damage you. By the time you escape the building one is camped outside and kills you immediately after opening the door. Is it possible without items at all?

Greek Phylax But then defenders of Ancient Rome? I am confused Plus ,those are some big stats, stealing stats. Plus, if it gets attacked by like a trireme, it gets 35 attack and it can now annihilate most land units, and if it gets any bonuses we have an anti ship land unit that runs around kicking ...

I would like to join this kind of game. Do you mind If I join the next "Quork" game?

Yeah well the trigger is the perfect thing for it. Just attach a permanent trigger to it and bam that's it the end

Yes, that is exactly what I was asking for. Buffs the throne keeper and nothing else, and loses the game for those who lose. Not really for a new game mode, I don't think: one can build a reasonable army to keep safe and attack at the same time. But it emphasises defense like sometimes in some maps ...

This is the problem with the Raid map in Revolution: not only does the initial army get bogged down by its sheer size, but then all the factories both armies have pushes it up to max pop.

Or maybe do a tougher version of the regular one? Banner bearers normally aren't good in combat, making a foot Knight version would help.

Sounds cool, but nobody seems to notice. Sad really...
But I like the idea! Hiding units beforehand sounds good.

No, it's not for training anything. It's just there and you need to defend it as best you can. If you neglect it, you fall. This could help teach some players the importance of defense as well as offense: instead of charging forward sometimes it better to hang back and reinforce your army first Edit...

Huh. You have a point. And it does serve to be better as an actually effective structure instead of just a background thing...
Maybe we could have a unit that does this, like the Celtic or Savage units when killing certain enemies mounts their heads on a spike.

Maybe creating one of these in place of a high tiered enemy unit would fit, like if a Centurion is killed their head is displayed on a pike, because my English class read Macbeth recently and mounting heads on pikes or spikes makes it apparent that someone important has died. It sounds like a lot of...

Also after thinking about it making it a map editor only unit makes more sense: if you lose your general in a battle usually you've already lost. And besides that you can't just make a new one whenever you need them. Like, I'm assuming 1 turn isn't that long, right? Losing a General and replenishing...

I mean it sounds good on a conceptual level. I look forwards to this unit.

Wait, so we're making a regular and a hero variant? So, like the Hero Knight or the Centurion Hero?

Couldn't find it in either unit tab.

Still not added.

Wait, are you talking about this unit, or a different one?

The peasants with shovels cannot build anything on any terrain. And before you all go off to test if this was intentional because you can still win you can't. Without any buildings the enemy cav can sprint up to your front line, and even if on turn 1 they don't reach you on turn 2 your units can't r...

I have no idea how to balance this but it needs to be tanky. That's the entire basis of this unit. Besides, since its so slow it is more a defensive unit. I think, if we also implemented the throne structure I have posted on this forum, they would go good together: my idea for the throne is that the...

... Anyone else looking for this or everyone just doesn't care?

Is this a stealth unit? Because when someone makes a regular white flag waving unit, and walks it over to someone's bases, even if the intended person knows what's going on, everyone else could also know, and go kill the truce man with an arbalest or something, and ruin all the truce plans. Or if th...

You know at first I though Royal Guard was going to be a normal ish heavy unit but this tough hero type is cool as well. But it needs to be producable at Castles. That's the whole point of a royal guard, to protect the King and his residences. So produce and upgrade to imperial at castle. Yes, I'm s...

... Did I play a game vs an alt of yours? Because that's exactly my strat . Also that's what the mercs are made for: they are more trained than most other troops because they are already elites, and they are looking for cash with their skills. They are made exactly for quick spam: short turns to mak...

Look at the Condotierro for that. You can make both him AND the mercenary units around him infinite if you keep them near. Besides I'm talking about the pay mercenary group "spell" having the same 2 cooldown that the Condotierro does.

OK what about a sword? I mean if its defending the king (likely in a throne room) they're mostly going to stop Infantry (in real life) so a sword would be best, no?

Built by a Condotierro (which appears to be spelt incorrectly? Google says the plural is Condottiere, so that makes it Condottiero for one, right?) when supplied with 3 units worth of money. Spends one unit per turn to build (which stands for 2 salt carts, 1 money courier, one silver cart, 1/2 gold ...

They use an axe or spear, not a mace. And uh... The crossbow ain't looking too good.

You're not listening to me. Look, let's take it slower. You see the battle drawings, on the "Historical Battles" Missions?
