Yes, the crossbow is helped by ranged upgrades. The other 3 are buffed by melee upgrades (because I don't think it's fair to have a 7 range unit with curse weapon if Shinobi were given extra range.)

More will be added in edits later

Work in progress, this list is being updated from old stat values to new, with additions and revisions. These are a more combat oriented variant of elves, working at closer range with greater survival rates in melee. Rising Sun Monk Cost 5 at training grounds/dojo/shrine Hp 80 Armor 1/1 Power 20 Act...

I'd go with the original idea here viewtopic.php?f=85&t=4081

I've suggested it before to give them a more fragile tunnel. Still cost 2, but much less armored and hp.

I think I can see your point. Using the mechanic to expand current races sounds interesting, forcing players to choose carefully on how they advance with options on this set of elite units or this other set. On the shogunate units: If I must pick a race, I'd actually prefer to make them elves, capit...

Alright, aside from usergroup alliances what is your stance on alliances with minor races @Alexander82?

See veteraning power in Age of Fantasy

This would be an entirely new way to include minor factions, rather than giving them a whole race or reducing them to a subrace. Each alliance can be obtained as any race, and should be limited to a maximum of 15 units, 5 buildings, and 3-5 techs. They are meant to support the main race, not replace...

I support this. It would unify the upgrade system, and exclude races that can't be stolen from. I assume this would mean the cavalry/infantry difference in human armor techs would be removed. For ranged: divide by bow upgrades (elves) and arrow upgrades (humans and dwarves) Bow upgrades give +1 powe...

And I'd say they should be built on mountains actually. We'd need to give undead a decent ranged siege unit, but still.

Besides, ever played scalefolk? You can build any mega building you want on forest, and keep can even be built on water.

I think this is a great idea. Besides, it's a good start to giving terrain advantages by race if elves are the only ones who can effectively use cavalry in the forest.

I'm thinking I might suggest a high number of attacks for this one, or even an ability to continue trading hits with the target until one of the two is dead if in melee combat. If anyone has ever played battle for wesnoth, think how ulfserkers and berserkers behaved.

Elf legendary should be a caster I think as well.

Really now. Considering I had to end that one and get you unbanned.....

If we're going to have more types of elves, I'd rather start with a stealth oriented variety

Could also do some smaller battles among individuals. For example, The Battle of Discord, where the tyranny of LOA is overthrown by General Brave after gaining the support of several other formers.

He's ranged. Actually we were going to do cannonball spell with no cooldown for him as an attack.

Peace territories. Nice, the ai will be able to adjust production by distance to enemies. May I suggest faster units have a higher weight in such areas as well? It's easier to get cavalry to the front from far away than, say, a cave troll with only speed 2, or even speed 3 infantry, which would be b...

As a subrace: Barracks isn't really good enough as another building (considering humans already have one) so either pack the stuff there into the original barracks or make a new building for them. Same with pier/dock. Do we need 2 versions? Also bridge. Forest outpost: too close to some ideas I've h...

I agree. We've got a lot of work to on the current 6 races, and putting so much effort into races not added yet does distract from the current ones.

Looks ready to me. Spell resistance and dodge counter are good to add for most units, and +3 power at maximum is fine.

Stratego (dev) can we make dodge counter alone ignore if the unit that hit has bonus against the one to dodge? E.g. The sentinel has dodge counter. Can we allow it to dodge a knight counterattack even tough knights have bonus against sentinels (that are infantry)? Giving this a topic to itself. I t...

Not sure if it's an issue in other versions, but the aof multiplayer lobby has about 20 private games in it that aren't expiring. They're kinda in the way.

I always make sure I know the terrain in each map. a random terrain obstacle won't fool me. I see a hill or tree where it shouldn't be, I just move something adjacent knowing to attack. It's worse than stepping on things, because it can be done deliberately. Honest and righteous soldiers aren't unde...

Exempl. Can used at. A) Illusions spells - create illusion has 1hp but enemy player sees if click it has 30. B) Ent hiding in forest. - help solving the steps on issue if they look like obstacles - trees what can't be stepped. Same for earth golem hide - no attack during it C) Partisans - enemy see...

if u mean the pathing needs improvement, than that is a different topic, in this topic imagne a flawless pathing Flawless pathing still doesn't calculate enemy range and movement, or stick to any kind of formation. It certainly doesn't factor in potential movement in future turns. It's only used fo...

Maybe just delegate some power to trusted forumers? I think you can find a few of us in each game to deputize.

I don't think the "big" in name means 2x2 size :lol: Capacity?? For the humans, What i have for The giant ballista, is that it could be something that shoots once every 3 or 4 turns (due to its size, it is slow to reload... no cqc attack, up to 9 or 10 range, really slow speed, like just ...
