Monster's Cave IMPLEMENTED

In these building orcs can train their big units like cave troll and ettin.
The reason why i'm proposing it is that orcs right now rely too much on the volcano.
against a enemy that fires a lot from a distance and in maps with a few room to build orcs lose most of their best options.

I think this is a great idea

lol! i wrote the same thing to ettin thread without reading this thread
i also suggested to make it able to build only on hills but maybe that would be a big restriction.
or. we could have 2 type of caves: one taht can be built on hills (and have bigger build bonus so needs less turns to build) and a version what can be build anywhere.
other properties the same.
?

Lol, Great minds always meet xD
Abot the restrictions seems a bit too hard n certain maps, and after all you can build an entire volcano from nothing. The cave might be a cave or a simple nest, like a hole in the mud, so it might be built anywhere, even on forest i'd say (you don't need plain land for it).

i dont have specific, seems a little crowded with stuff, and maybe too big cave on it what is not fit to the mountain - i will make outline suggestions too.

i have 2 concepts but i am not so happy with it...
ideas: keeping almost the same image (u did the same but with more characteristic "cave")
only coloring one of the stones (not putting complex extra images like a banner)
the little torch would indicate occupacy.

- cave_big.png (2.66 KiB) Viewed 6903 times
and a version what we could simply draw "over" an existing terrain mountain (building time eg: half) and we will get the same effect.
- cave_over.png (936 Bytes) Viewed 6903 times
(however this would face problems on how to show it on the building selector list... this transparent stuff can not be there, we need the mountain under it...)

Daniel, do you like this one?
It should be able to build all the volcanoes unit's except uruk-hai
We also might put in worg riders (they ride trained monsters).

yes... but my idea does not work well, the colored part look like a bump on a head

Units you can make there should be:
Ettin, troll, wolf rider, hamletback
You should also make the research wolf rider to worg rider tedearchble here

I am not sure about wolf rider and hamletback there.
Re: Monster's Cave

Hamlrtback is some sort of giant. Wolf riders ride giant wolves or worgs, that are monstruos creatures.
Uruk hai instead are better at volcanoes, even for bg reasons. The units already at volcanoes might stay there too and later on we might add other uruk hai at volcanoes.

Thanks! I need some more practice for jsons
Also i think we need an updated list of every string and/ore more jsons to edit to speedup the process

There is a issue. I unlocked the upgrade but it doesn't work, the goblin slaves don't have it in their list

Tried it again, it still doesn't work (it won't appear on the goblin slave construction menu)

have u started a new game? (you need to have brand new goblin slaves)
also dont forget that it is only buildable on mountains.
Re: Monster's Cave IMPLEMENTED

I see, that's why.
I think that might really limit its usefulness.
I remember you mentioned making two versions. One on the mountains and another you can build anywhere. do you want me to make that one?
