Armor stat in game doesn't correspond fully with physical, real armor. Armor stat sometimes means ability to dodge attacks, e.g. Celt, Ninja. In this unit, I believe, its his ability to dodge and parry incoming melee attacks. So 4/0 seems acceptable. Maybe make it 3/0 for balance reasons, but it's ...

Hi, tryed some shading but it looks maybe too much different thenthe other units in the game? patroid I love the second shaded one. It may look different, but I like the intimidating design choice, and intimidation played a role on the medieval battlefield, so that's cool. Hope it gets implemented ...

I tried, but we might need to remake the sprite down the line

Rotholz

it looks too dead about give it Eyes that we can see and make smaller they weren't as big as humans right? No, I made it just slightly bigger than a wardog, because a wardog looks like a greyhound to me, but the Canis Pugnax was bred specifically to perform demanding tasks, and is therefore somewha...

I tried my best

But I didn't know how to make the shadow like the other troops in the game have, so I'd like someone else to be so kind and take care of it

Slave-keeping: Allows capturing slaves. Cost: 7 It was suggested before at the start of this year, but it wasn't really all that fleshed out, and I have some ideas for this unit. Slave HP: 4 Power: 0 Speed: 2 Sight: 3 Gets converted 100% of the time. 25% chance to turn enemy into a slave instead of ...

I have an idea - Aenator could have second researchable in roman garrison buff similar to fervor - good communication in legion could provide better attacks and make conversion harder. Latin chanting doesn't fit imho. Latin sounds much softer to my ears than e.g. german. Opposite for me, German sou...

Well, we didn't talk about a moralising unit or effect for the romans at all

Rotholz

Just like makazuwr said I ment Aenator (really aēneātor) - I always somehow misspell their name. They are represented in the game by the buccinator image - long curved brass truphet. They are drummer counterpart specific to roman armies - so they have aura with +1 speed for roman units. Oh, I never...

Rotholz

That's right. It's great idea too. Only two things about it - which building could research it and what counterpart ability could be given to roman aeanator. Aeanators were responsible for various sound based communications, marching coordination was only one of them. About telescope - archers alre...

Cavalry charge - something similar is already planned by me. I want to add strategist something building, which will have researchable auras applicable to various unit types - archers salvo (+power) - big shields infantry shield wall (+both armors) - small shield infantry shield over head (+pierce ...

That's great to hear! Will any of these ideas get into the game and are they balanced? I'd gladly do the textures for all of them

A building that needs to have a garrisoned peasant at all times for the effect to work.
The effect is that all units that lose their loyalty while within the range of the block die.

I have a lot of different ideas for the game that I want to share, but I realize that the engine is so terrible most of the ideas probably won't get through at all. Should I pit all of my ideas in a single thread, or should I split them up?

Well, it's not like it changes much - there is much less use of mercenary units near the enemy fortifications, though he will be missing 6 additional damage vs siege. How do You see the image? Maybe a sketch in 32x32 pixels? It's very important part of unit. Just to have an overview of how I envisi...

Rotholz

With how bonuses work right now giving bonus vs everything is pure waste of CPU. It just makes it 12 power, but with unnecessary calculations. So it's actually heavy infantry with 30hp, 12x2 attack, 4/0 armor and no bonuses. I'm such an idiot, I didn't even realize that I could've just upped the at...

When exactly Maceman was supposed to have high damage? Original topic shows nothing about it - Maceman . I haven't found any topic on forum talking about higher damage on maceman - on the contrary - there was few mentions about nerfing it's damage. Besides 14 power is plenty strong - it's barely le...

Rotholz

I based the attack damage off of the Maceman, who's premise it was to have high attack damage, but low defence, which was kinda what I was hoping to achieve. The effect nullifying healing was supposed to represent a serious wound, but if that is too overpowered, or unfitting, then the AoE with sligh...

I must admit that actually healing prevention can be done via reducing healing rate on unit by -100% (so all healing it receives is reduced to 0). That's great. If you can make the healing prevention, but not the damage then I'm fully satisfied. Perhaps the balance needs working on and I wouldn't m...

Units one-shoting pricy, quite slow heavy infantry units just makes players not use them at all. Cavalry have their counters, but at least they also got manuverability in exchange (or huge hp in case of elephants).

I think that the Lancer units needs to be affected by the reach upgrade. Especially the Gendarme looks like he'd have very good reach, and since they have polearms it fits in my opinion. Also, the Lancers are quite weak with their low HP and damage, so an upgrade like that would be just what they ne...

I think the current upgrade columns are quite badly designed, and there's a couple reasons for it. I think the worst aspect is that the upgrades aren't revealed, and although it gives the player a sense of mystery, it also leaves him quite confused. With the "roman" upgrade columns as an e...
