Building Types:
1. Regular buildings (general type)
1.1. Neutral general buildings
2. Walls/Bridges
3. Towers
4. Castles
5. Special (towns)
6. Neutral decoration


Reasons:
1. it is hard to navigate through bonus lists. with this it will be MUCH easier and because much easier to plan attacks and seach disbalances of units.
2. will help to solve few human and elven problems of underpowered on certail level units (against orcs for both, undeads for elves, flying units for humans)
3. it will be much easier to plan new units with this. to which they have bonuses, weaknesses, which units they can target via spells, etc, etc...

And last thing - for units which can't be included in any category here we need to make new one (alas i hope that there won't be any)

Yes and while that at it, they can also update AI to more things like
Humans:
Use blacksmith and they're upgrades
Use the blue dragon in mages hut
Use catapults more often
Use imperial troops a little more often
Undead:
use phantom garrison, phantom troops and upgrades
Upgrade armored undead knight to golden undead knight
Spawn in graveyards and zombies less ( seems like AI really only cares about those 2 things)
Spawn in crypt a litte more often along with mummies and lich ( only a little )
Have undead spawn in archers more often since they lack range
Use the banshees
Raise the dead on the battlefield
Use ghost vessel more often
Use fireball from dark knight
Scalefolk:
Use dragon temple, dragon troops and upgrades
use the flame tower and poison tower similar to how humans use the fortress and guard tower
Use the small ship
Orcs/trolls:
Use master orcs upgrade
Use the warlord to king upgrade
Use master merlock upgrade
Use master trolls upgrade
Use master goblin upgrade
Spawn in turk tent and monster cave a little more often
Use orc dock more often
Dwarves:
Use the dwarven mortar
Use the drafnes zeppelin
Elves:
Use parapet
Use scared spring
Use elven craftsmen more often
Some of these i already address but im giving the full load here.
I know this requires time but i feel some of these should have been already implemented. For example the undead, all they ever do is spawn graveyards and zombies causing hardly any damage to any race. Humans and orcs/trolls i feel are getting strip of they're full potential. Scalefolk and dwarves are relatively new so i understand why some stuff aren't in yet but i put it down just in case.
Elves are honestly good in my opinion but im a attention to detail type person, so i noticed they don't use some units. In AOF and AOS i play solo and paid for all the upgrades so it would be nice to see AI to utilize everything.

this thing is different. Please don't suggest such things here because it comes to completely different sphere of ai progamming and not of just modifying units.

There is a naval section - for all water only units. №13, ships are sub of this with №13.1
ships are sub of it for ship wreckages and for counting for units like fire archer (who operates with fire) to burn these unit only and don't affect units like Sea serpent, turtleman and other living ones.

For a good amount of units it is already that way. I agree we might need to put some order into some situations but there are some categories I can't really get.

For example elite and elite hunters (I can't see the need for that since you cna simply use their counter from the right category and specific hunters can have specific units added to their bonus list). Also the heavy infantry seems really like the same as infantry. Heavy units already have a "bonus" against archers that is coming from their high p.armor.

Not exactly - some units will have bonus against heavy infantries BECAUSE of their armor (acid for example eats away armor) but at the same time they must not have same thing to normal infantry.

Elite units and Elite hunters: there is formed already such categories: Imperials, Uruks, Phantoms, Highborn. For example How do you think Elves can counter Uruks? Also another reason why i am adding these 2 categories is because i want to make them more vurable and thus to spur the use of non-elite units - like orc basic ones and giants, undead skeletons, human basic units, elven basic melee units. Also only elites usually will have bonus against other elites specifically.

Also first thing why am i suggesting some groups this is because
makazuwr32 wrote: Thu Jul 26, 2018 11:35 am And another suggestion: to write in bonuses instead of specific units their categories in general, as well as each unit's category in his info box (extended one)
Otherwise many units will not be in any categories or have too many weaknesses. Like for example Sea serpent of elves - Why in first place it is burnable and leaves shipwreck after death? Or Imperial shielder - why he MUST be vurable to archers? even if he has high p.armor why?

This way we can just write current category instead of writing each unit one by one in code and for players and just when we will add new unit we will just add to him some group tags and it is automatically is in his group.

And remember that now bonuses will apply to whole list, no exeptions.

Bonus system always used categories, only units with no json use the inefficient method of putting each unit in the bonus list, however stats description doesn't show bonus against category, only units that r within the given categories
There is no place for false kings here, only those who proves themselves to b the true kings of legend, or serves under me

For I watch over this world looking for those worthy to become kings, and on the way get rid of the fakes and rule over the fools

yes. money courier, spy, assassin and such units who are weak by themself and don't need any category.
As for special unit types categories - they are for spells, special anti units (like the one Stormsaint made, don't remember name, undead/demon hunter)

Yep, but that was a step too big to be taken at first, that's why it might had scared most of the ppl... This suggestion will simplify the things for now... Mine actually would need something similar to change the units catalog aswell. Maybe this would end being even the first step to put that on pratice... In any case. Both will have massive time spent to come reality anyway... So i really would like to see this done soon!

Would it be possible to take non siege units bonuses to walls away so there will be somewhat more of a use to the walls? Because right now infantry can just walls down without the need of wall breakers pretty easily and this could probably help the elves walls last a bit longer.

I was also thinking to change the bonus of archers.

To make it more realistic i'd create 2 category for units:

shielded and unshielded

I think that archer should have a bonus against any unshielded unit while they should have no bonus against shielded units

That is cause shields in battles are the main protection against arrows and arrows can more easily hit vital parts on unprotected units

This way archers will have more bonus against weapons who wields 2 handed weapons (no matter if they are on foot or on horseback)

what do you think?

Pikes will become shooting targets.
As well as other archers. and with current way of how dodge is working dodge ranged oon elven archers will become useless because all ranged units will gain bonus to them and 100% to hit.
Also will they have bonus against mechanical units? against dragons?

Also big units with no shields. I think it makes more sense than just infantry cause many times you need more damage against big units more than against infantry.

Of course, polearm bearer will suffer from this tough.

Also I think that bonus against flying units would be a great addition

maybe later. i need to look through my tables.
what bonus do you want against non-shielded targets?
against giants with no shields?
against cavalry with no shields?
against flying units?

Archers must NOT have bonus against other archers.

Same bonus for every unshielded should work I guess. Otherwise we will need extra categories

About flying units we might also go for 100% or 200%

I'll make some test later.

dodge ranged for archers then will become useless completely.
Also this bonus completely removes need in skirmishers because it will be EVEN easier to deal with enemy archers using your own ones.

100% or even more 200% is too much against flying units.
why not 2000%? this will have same effect - complete massacre of ANY flying units by archers. ESPECIALLY by elven ones.

i want to lower bonuses for units against other units, not increase them (if not count polearm unit and skirmishers i think max bonuses against units must be 50%, not more unless it is designed against special category and completely useless against everything else, skirmishers must have (all variants!) 100% bonus against archers and dragons.)

As I told you before it should have been tested

About lowering bonuses I don't think it is up to you to decide what must be changed

To be honest I think that this work you have made is pretty debatable since there are units with lower stats that might require a higher bonus and units with higher stats that might need a lower bonus.

Having the same bonuses in certain cases might not be the best way to handle balance.

Also I told you yesterday that is probably better to change dodge values but make it always working

i will prefer current system of dodges.

as for bonuses - most units have already 50% bonuses and let's stick to this number. ofc some special units can have different numbers but for most units 50% is fine.

Bonuses should not b standard, it should b decided upon how much base damage the unit has, and how much more damage the unit should give against units it has bonus, and that should b determined by how many atks u want to kill a particular unit, depending on that unit's cost too

This how the bonus thing works I think, if the unit have bonus against Unit B which is 100%. He would get hit a hundred percent of unit A damage. If Unit A have 200% bonus against Unit B, it would be two times the damage.

not exactly.
This is addition to their normal damage. for example unit has 10 damage and 100%, 200% and 350% against units a, b, c.
unit a will get 10 base + 10 bonus or 20 total pure damage which will be lowered by armor.
unit b will get 10 base +20 bonus or 30 total damage.
unit c - 45 damage.
