Final Map Here!

 

[Mechanical Man]

Only 3 civilizations so far?

 

[Reaper51]

Yeah so far. More will be added soon like germans and turks.

 

[sonofjay]

I hope the terrain is not finished cause if it is, then you need a complete revamp of the terrain. And on the civilization, I guess they are well balanced.

 

[Reaper51]

The terrain is subject to change since the map has just entered beta.

 

[Mechanical Man]

What civilization is going to be released next?

 

[impulsecobra]

Not to be a history buff but the Enlightenment Age didn't end in the 1699 AD it was close to the end of the 18th century maybe alittle into the 19th. i love history ^^ just thought i might point that out if you were trying to have historical accuracy. Instead of the Imperial Age, i think it be better if you said the Industrial Age because that was the next age in our world history. if the map was based off the history correctly i think it could improve the map alittle. if you want your civilization pretty correct based with history PM me and i can help you.

 

[Mechanical Man]

If you see it closely, you will notice that he split ages in intervals of 150 years, obviously, if historically speaking, medieval ages didn't last so little and dark ages were basically overlapping medieval ages. Age of enlightnment occured in 18th century. While you saying the last age should be called industiral age, only 19the century can be counted industrial, in 1700 still not all armies had flintlocks, while in 1850 there was already percussion cap, revolvers getting ground and trains roaming on railroads.

I was thinking of the last age being called industrial because the enlightenment age ended right before it. England would be the first country to be able to industrialize because they started pretty early in the 18th century with agriculture and cottage (also the first to begin). i was just thinking it be kinda better if the map goes along with history, but thats my opinion.

 

[Animalpower]

I like the idea but ages are not correct.
Medieval:
Dark Ages (500-1000)
Middle Ages (1000-1500)
Early Modern:
Renaissance (1500-1600)
Baroque (1600-1700)
Modern:
Enlightenment (1700-1800)

 

[Reaper51]

Yea the ages are not accurate, they are not meant to be : )

Anyways the next civilization to be released are the Germans as The Holy Roman Empire.

They will be done by Friday.

 

[Mechanical Man]

uhm,

baroque was mainly artistic period, here we talk about war and technology

 

[Animalpower]

This looks like Age of Empires. Japanese and Russians what a combination. How about some eurocentric civilizations?

 

[Reaper51]

Yep a lot of euro civs are to be released.
Here is a list of possible civs:
-Germans
-Turks
-Spanish
-French

 

[RiotZ]

You snuffed me from the creds bro.

I told ya I would still do the terrain...

Edit: Spanish, definitely Turks.

 

[Reaper51]

sonofjay thought your terrain was bad, that why you are not in credits

jks, I added you.

 

[RiotZ]

sonofjay thought your terrain was bad, that why you are not in credits

jks, I added you.

It was bad, I put all of 30 minutes into it. xd

I'm sad you didn't use Aurellia though.

Edit: Get on Hamachi if you have time so we can talk sheesh.

Edit: Can't believe you snuffed Conquistadors too. D:

Edit AGAIN: You need to add these if you haven't already. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprichnik

 

[Reaper51]

Dude they will come with updates.

 

[RiotZ]

Dude they will come with updates.

Just note suggestions. :S

 

[Mechanical Man]

This looks like Age of Empires. Japanese and Russians what a combination. How about some eurocentric civilizations?

Then your map would be obsolete.

 

[RiotZ]

Euros suck. :S

He does have Germany and Britain. :|

 

[Reaper51]

Here is a nice euro vs euro battle:

 

[Lembidi]

Lol'z, this like AoE and RoN

 

[Animalpower]

But oprichniks are torturers not soldiers. Why would they be included?

 

[Mechanical Man]

because they were in aoe3 lolz

 

[sonofjay]

It was bad, I put all of 30 minutes into it. xd

30 minutes wasn't enough to make a good terrain, you should at least give a effort on it.

 

[Reaper51]

30 minutes wasn't enough to make a good terrain, you should at least give a effort on it.

It was decent for a melee terrain.

 

[RiotZ]

30 minutes wasn't enough to make a good terrain, you should at least give a effort on it.

It was Reaper's request that I be quick so he could begin working on the map. Withhold your scrutiny my friend.

And as for why Oprichniki should be in it... Because they are like the 16th century Stasi... They should be cloaked melee, low dps, early game harass unit.

 

[Reaper51]

1.1 Beta is here!

-New Civilization Added: The Holy Roman Empire
-New Russian unit: Oprichnik
-New custom tileset
-New internal music tracks
-Light Siege has been nerfed

 

[Animalpower]

I know some soldiers German used. The Swiss and Germans used pike, also they mounted on horse with a crossbow these were called Cranequiniers. The Germans used cuirassiers, they served Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian. In Renaissance the Germans used pistoleers, the earliest pistol armed infantry. They also used Reiters which are also armed with a pistol, they look like knights with a pistol. Also they would use lancers. Of course, the Swiss and Germans used the halberd.

 

[Reaper51]

ok you convinced me, next update the Germans are getting pistoleers and maybe a unique cavalry unit.

 

[Animalpower]

Make it realistic, without night elves and such. Many use non-human model that do not fit well into this kind of theme.

Also Russians used Riders in Baroque.

What about Turks. Use Sipahi model as timariot, make janissary if possible. Ghazi are Turkish warriors. Azabs, Qapikulu. There are not much models that can be used for Turks on Hive, but at least Sipahi model.

The English are a great idea, you could use Longbowmen, Billmen, Yeomen or such.

 

[Reaper51]

Ottomans are next for the 1.2 update.

Sipahis and Janissaries will be their unique units as well as a melee stealth unit called the Assassin.

Also the British are getting Skirmishers, an anti-ranged infantry ranged infantry unit.

Germans are receiving two new units:
-Pistoleers (Ranged Stealth Infantry)
-Reiters (Ranged Cavalry)

 

[Animalpower]

I think only Arabs used assasins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins

1. The English are the British, Great Britain is on the island of England.

2. Everyone used some form of assassin, just not called an assassin.

3. I'm quite sure Reaper has already given the British Longbowmen.

@Reaper: Russian cavalry, Oprichnik, and Cossacks. And you better have a damn Tsar Cannon, (not the actual Tsar Cannon of course, just a large-bore cannon ). Btw trees look like mega-shit on Lord's tileset.

Age of War 2 official multiplayer channels are here!

I will host tournaments soon...

I think only Arabs used assasins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins

Many Arabs were a part of the Ottoman Empire.

 

[Animalpower]

Yeah, but when they captured Egypt in Renaissance.

I advise that Tsar Cannon should be named Bombard or Giant Bombard because there was only one Tsar Cannon and it was not even used.
I know that the Turks used large cannons such as Dardanelles gun.

 

[Reaper51]

I bet riotz didn't even play the map since Russians do have a bombard cannon and I have a new custom tileset in version 1.1.

I haven't played the map because I have no one to play it with, because you have been ignoring my requests for you to get on Hamachi. Whore. :S

The map does have a challenging AI...

 

[RiotZ]

But no seriously. I would much prefer 1v1ing you.

 

[Reaper51]

Did you update your wc3?

 

[RiotZ]

You should increase the map size so the islands aren't so damn small. Also fix the grass tiles so that the borders blend.

And change Axeman to Axemen.

Was fun, will require minor improvement to balancing, possibly some awe-factor involving physics.

 

[Reaper51]

Riotz and me duked it out, here is our replay if anyone is interested:
