Re: New movement: Permutation/swap

Indeed, that's the idea. The change I suggest is that the "leaving" unit can move into an already occupied square, the unit which was there automatically taking its place. So potentially each turn you just swap the same two units: One is in front getting hurt, the other is in the back gett...

Re: LotR characters underpowered?

I'd suggest to give Aragorn and Boromir the same stats as the hero prince (foot) unit (except the 5 tile movement, which is too much). During a test game it gave me about the right feeling of them being mean killing machines, but not entirely out of harm's way either, the player has still to stay al...

Re: LotR characters underpowered?

Legolas is indeed the only useful one in the bunch, but he's underpowered too: He's just marginally better than the quickfire archer (3 shots instead of 2). Hardly heroic stuff. According to the movies, he's supposed to be able to kill a war elephant and all its riders all on his own... :roll: I'd s...

LotR characters underpowered?

Discovering these in the editor I just had to make me a map in which the company has to fight their way through a long path filled with orcs and Uruks. Those LotR heroes do seem a little underpowered to me. 2-3 standard orcs and they're dead... I mean, they are known to fight their way through hosts...

Same here, and almost immediately, too. Apparently bypassing the time to research and the time to build.

AI cheating or bug?

Does the AI follow the human requirements for building units?
Is it normal that in a map with "starting technologies = none" the AI immediately builds advanced stuff?
Does it take the same time as the human player to build a given unit?

Re: Taking enemy structures instead of destroying them?

I understand the basic idea of the game, which is well-known since "Warcraft" (the original, not "World of..."!) and the "Age of XYZ" series. The (my) idea is of creating a strategic structure which remains unless willingly destroyed, and would be fought over. Something...

Bef. publish - cutting human upgades - BUG - IMPLEMENTED

Referring to this thread.

The AI still creates "forbidden" units. In humans vs. human games I regularly get swamped by floods of samurai, hero knights and fireball-throwing mages the AI builds literally overnight, which means the human player doesn't stand any chance with his basic units.

Taking enemy structures instead of destroying them?

It would be more realistic if players could conquer and occupy big enemy structures like castles.
It could work just like for the town centers: Kill all occupants, enter, it's yours. It wold force the owner to defend his castle lest the enemy uses it against him...

Allied/Neutral/Enemies?

It would be nice to be able to create and manage alliances when building maps. Or, alternatively, create a really neutral faction which nobody is hostile to (the gray faction's units are attacked by the players). It would for instance allow having a neutral faction which might side up with either pl...

Not saving/Deleting savegames?

I can understand and appreciate the autosave feature, but there are times you don't really want to save; Either because you just messed up horribly, or because you're just playtesting, and don't want phantom saves to litter your game. When you playtest a map, then decide it needs changes, a phantom ...

Deleting? Where, in the editor or in the play screen (aren't they linked?)?

As for the other issue, I don't think I've met it (yet). Then again I'm just exploring. (I'm definitely an avid level designer and will definitely make dozens and dozens of maps, eventually.)

Small and unimportant bug, affecting only people playtesting their own maps: When editing and testing a map inside the game, the game doesn't refresh the game the first time you play it (you get to restart on the old, unedited map); You have to restart a new game a second time to get the new version...

Hm. I guess that's a "no". :(

I'd really like to know what all those technologies (for instance) are good for. I mean "ballistics" is marked as required to build catapults, but what is "writing" (or some such) good for?
