Age of Strategy Forums

I am not able to edit attachments properly (phpBB fault), so I only listed not done yet images.
Here they are visually.

I think it is map editor idea.

No, I don't think so.
It's just seems like a lot of work for stratego.

Crossbowman size is exactly the same, as his image was made using archer as a base. I removed bow and placed crossbow on another layer, then armor on another, lastly shadings, shadow and team colors. Shadings was remade by patroid, as well as some reshaping, but the size remained the same all along....

Wat r u talking about? Is this off topic? Personally I think this should b answered Thanks for noticing. Moved posts. Military intelligence and data gathering pretty much, yeah. With the better example being the US. But again not everything can be predicted and responded addecuately if it was that ...

Only on maps, where map creator put deep water tiles, the same goes for roads.

Right now I'm working on implementing frozen water tileset. It's water with ice floes on the surface visually. In flavor it's supposed to represent prartially/periodically frozen water, so on average both lighter units and ships can meet ve through it. It will have infantry moving with 50-67% effect...

That's right - even fire siphon ship has only +200% and it's almost pure fire. I think +80% - 100% would be correct for fire arrows (9 -10 base damage), so it would deal 5-6 damage at most to ships. The same bonus should be applied to any unit with burning weapon - raider, fortress, fire archer etc....

Exactly - group affected by high (and low) morale includes only U_WAR_UNITS_GROUND category, which is made of melee (light and heavy cavalry, melee foot, light, medium, heavy melee foot, polearm, otherwise listed in unit details) and ranged (archers, throwers and gunmen) units. There should be list ...

There is a ton of free e-mail services, where parent agreement is all it takes to create account for underaged. Gmail itself allows 13 years old to create account by himself.
I don't think it could ever be a problem.

I actually asked stratego some time ago to make new stat - bonus power, which is added after bonus multiplication or change default calculation. I wanted blacksmith and buffs to affect unit attack without bonus multiplication, as their counter is +armor, which is straight +1. Also I think there shou...

If the cooldown and buff time is the same, then nobody in their right mind would ever use ballad of the warrior. Also, having two attacks almost equals dealing x2 damage, so it's much more warrior buff than +3 power. I think instead of 3 turns - the one increasing action and speed can only last 1 tu...

That would rather makes things harder.
Also it would take forum attachments space without any real advantage.

I think it could be specialised debuffer. 4th (including sai) transformation of ninja, only allowed after research. I would make it have normal melee attack (kama) - 5-6 power with 1 attack, but requiring no action points debuff with 1 turn cooldown (so usable every turn once, along with normal atta...

This unit should have 2 melle armor 3x counter bonus, 3 action "Maybe bleeding wepoan"(2hp /turn) There is no way for 3x counter damage for now. 2x counter damage is really Full counter attack - it just removes 50% penalty of counter. How should this b implemented, one ninja with 4 transformations ...

So the bonus gain light foot melee is +50%, removed bonus damage to buildings,and add 1 p.armor and the time to produces this unit is 3.

Based on which unit?

Any blunt based weapon damage comes more from swing force, than weapon itself. Thus weilding two blunt weapons won't be very effective. In game terms it would be 6-8 damage with each attack. Meanwhile getting rid of shield would decrease his hp. Summing up - not really effective. 15 power withtwo at...

Carrack with 4 fire archers is 22 turn worth of units. It's understandable, that with this investment comes some good survivability. But I think carrack speed could still be decreased to 4. 3 is too slow imho. Fire archers without blacksmith deal 12base damage to ships. Most ships have pretty high p...

Not necessarily. Most "randomness" on battlefield is really insufficient knowledge about enemy or even own forces. With more uniform forces and bigger armies average stats assigned to unit are more accurate. The most spectacular wins among historical battles could easily be presented by stats, becau...

I am a little afraid of adding any physical based more complex abilities. Mostly because it would create precedence. If some hammer weilder can break legs or cripple why the hell other units cannot. And there would be unending list of abilities to add to pretty much all melee units. So I think there...

Normal units can be produced in town. Town aka Town Center aka TC is something placed on the map since the beginning. They have to be conquered by going to them with any unit, which can occupy buildings (human ones). Among units produced there is Worker, which can build towers, siege machines, ships...

It can be used without gunpowder. Gunpowder is only needed for effect action - Cannonball. I was thinking of adding some new milestone techs - techs, which are only used as requirements to define progress. In this case it could require some sort of sailing tech - something related to ship corpse con...

Actually AoS have Light Foot Melee category (peasants, celt, flailman, ninja) - they have weaknesses similar to most Medium Foot Melee (swordsman, samurai, zweihander, maceman), so archers, heavy melee, cavalry. Instead of transformation, effect action could be implemented, like throw taiaha or pilu...

Merged.

Merged.
Please post in already created topic.

Melee dodge:50%

That is the part neither me nor stratego will agree about.
AoS is all about strategy, like the name applies, so any increase in randomness is bad.
Few changes I've done were actually to lessen randomness in the game.

It's not cannot even one-shot cavalry. It's almost one-shots cavalry. Think of this - for twice the cost (time) you get spearman with +2 speed, +1 sight, almost twice of hp, +2/2 armor, +1 damage to most units, +3 damage to mounted, ranged, melee foot and siege machines. As a trade-off there's caval...

I think it's the other way. This particular map was based around a bug - transport ships could go through ground tile when wagon was on it. You eliminated that by adding to the engine additional check - before units could move using isCarrierRemovesTerrainDrawbacks=true engine checks if unit can be ...

And that is exactly what I was trying to simulate by giving them offensive bonus only.

gambison is extremely strong Not really. Gambeson can be sliced or pierced quite easily. It was used only by poor fighters or under proper armor as it only gives proper protection vs bludgeoning strikes. To provide full protection it was weared under chainmail or later plate armor. I believe gambes...

I was thinking more of monsters like Brain Storm from Paths of Rome, Invasion from Fire War, Paths of the Dead from Nyadhos Strategy. I'm sure there is much more I forgot about.
