version 1.108

In this forum I post the changes on the DEVELOPER version of the game.
These versions are (at the time i post them) not yet published to google play, only registered testers can download it and test it before publishing.

Non-tester forumers: if you want to get the DEVELOPER version (to see the changes sooner, or you want to try your own map designs) please EMAIL me to zerotouchsystems at gmail dot com to register yourself as a tester.

I must admit that such powerful melee-type armor increase on ships is rather big change.

Now there is carrack that can carry a whole range of powerful high DMG melee units like flail soldier and samurai, other than that, all physical damage on ships r from catapult, cannon and trireme, and they all very high, I like defensive ships having higher defense

Can someone resize the ice terrains for AoWW and AoG? Ice would be great for winter campaigns.

new things by Endru:

Added Bard - suppoorting unit capable of buff increasing movement and another giving 2nd action.
Added two new ninja trasformations - sai and kusarigama. Sai ninja is defensive oriented - he has first strike, x2 counter damage and because of blocking melee damage is lowered vs him (armor stat). Kusarigama is specialist on locking enemy in place, allowed only after research in dojo.
Change - ninja actions 1->2, bonuses changed to be the same as swordsman,
Change - backstab ninja (stealthy one) power 12->4, +400% bonus vs all flesh and blood units

Engine change:

this one is implemented:
[IMPLEMENTED]Maptiles modifies stats of units (power, sight, production speed, worker mendrate and so on)

in AOW there is a sample set if infantry goes on hills it gets extra defense values and extra sight.

configurable in consts.json.

I don't know current speed calculation mechanism. I think current mechanism is complex. It should have stright and easier way to introduce how it works. I think it's better to ask more players.

Every unit has speed and terrain modifiers defined in their stats.
Terrain modifiers gives more movement, the higher they are - 2.0 means double movement, 0.5 half of it, so it's probably movement divisor.
When unit moves through more than one terrain type the speed is proportional. E.g. Knight having 0.81 modifier on forest and 1.0 on plains gets 4 speed if even 1 tile on his movement path is forest.

In AoS road, forest and icewater movement bonuses are set experimentally and can be changed to fit more.
They are:
1.17-1.51 on roads,
0.76-0.814 on forests for cavalry,
0.251-0.51 on icewater
It corresponds to idea of +1 speed on roads (apart of chariots, which get +2), -1 speed on forests for cavalry and movement limited to 1 or 2 on icewater.


In AoW terrain modifiers are more uniform, depended upon unit category, but unit categories also have more uniform speed values.

I still have 2 questions about speed modifiers.

1. Mameluks has speed 4 (6 if in desert). When I use bard to give adv song buff(speed +2), its speed goes to 9(all desert tile). Will it be too high? (4+2)x1.5=9

2. I found that terrain tile on starting point are also included. How to calculate that tile?

Hopefully those terrain can be in fantasy, perhaps added along with the lava. Also great that tiles and now effect units stats.

The terrain itself seems ready, but I had to change most of units movement definitions to allow moving with lower modifier, so it's quite some work.

1. It's the same as chariot speed in the road - it may be too high, but it's by earlier design.
Maybe camel bonuses on desert should be limited to +30% or so.
2. I am not quite sure - I never saw the code about movement.
