It was a one-sided ass kicking. xD

Versing the maker of the map is not an easy win you know.

 

[RiotZ]

Versing the maker of the map is not an easy win you know.

Yes, yes that's why I plan to make my Warhammer map playable within the week. So you too can experience and unrelenting ass kicking.

 

[Reaper51]

Screenshots of the new terrain are up!

 

[RiotZ]

Did you fix the AI yet?

 

[Reaper51]

Yes it is fixed, I will release it with version 1.3.

Btw the next civilization is Spanish.

 

[RiotZ]

Yes it is fixed, I will release it with version 1.3.

Btw the next civilization is Spanish.

Oh btw, make sure both Spain and HRE have there own inquisition units.

I would be awesome to get witch hunters from the church etc.

[The Reanimator]

Looks pretty interesting

 

[RiotZ]

Looks pretty interesting

Damn straight.

 

[Reaper51]

1.4 is almost here!

It is bringing the French, with arbalesteers, cuirassiers, and grenadiers.

 

[Animalpower]

I would advise the musketeers, called Guard Musketeers. Those three musketeers that are Cardinal's guards. The French (Franks) used fransisca (throwing axe) in dark ages. Also Chasseurs that are modern French infantry. Also speaking of modern infantry the Spanish could have Cassadors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caçadores. Though they are Portugese they could be included.

 

[Reaper51]

Throwing Axemen will be given to the Scandinavians.

 

[RiotZ]

Throwing Axemen will be given to the Scandinavians.

There will be Scandinavians?

On that note, Norsemen ftw.

 

[Reaper51]

Yep right after Japan is tinkered and China comes out.

 

[RiotZ]

Yep right after Japan is tinkered and China comes out.

So are the Scandinavians kind of Vikingish.

Also China yay.

 

[Reaper51]

1.4 is here!
Download it while it's fresh : )
1.5 won't be out for another week so have fun!

1.4
-New Civilization: French
-New Unit: Militia
-Infiltration units are no longer restricted to 2
-Added an option to select a random civilization

 

[Mechanical Man]

What is China getting?

 

[RiotZ]

What is China getting?

Flamethrowers no doubt.

Early gun powder units would be pretty cool.

 

[Animalpower]

I think China should get rockets and bombers (infantry that throws bomb projectiles)

 

[Reaper51]

I think China should get rockets and bombers (infantry that throws bomb projectiles)

Yep China is getting Rockets, Japan is no longer going to have those, they are getting Flaming Arrows (Cannons with fiery explosive rounds against infantry)

 

[RiotZ]

I think China should get rockets and bombers (infantry that throws bomb projectiles)

No no, I think grenadiers should be exclusive to the French.

 

[Animalpower]

grenadiers and bombers are not same.

Grenadiers throw grenades.

Bombers throw bombs.

The classic type of bomb. Search bomb images and you will know what I mean.

 

[Reaper51]

The Chinese are getting Chu Ko Nu, auto crossbowmen.

Grenadiers are French, and as far as I know, Chinese people didn't run around tossing exploding cannon balls at their enemies.

 

[Animalpower]

Yeah and Prussian too.

 

[RiotZ]

Grenadiers, is a fancy name for bombers.

Like Reaper said, nobody threw cannonballs at their enemy, they threw small canister explosives with a primitive fuse... As far as I know Grenadier is a French word for grenade-tosser, and grenade is a French word for small bomb.

1.5 is turning to be a big update, bigger than 1.3

How does bow/crossbow dps fair versus gunpowder? Imo gunpowder should only be a bit stronger, just have much longer range.

Did you make cannons do more dps to infantry, less to buildings, and the opposite for bombards?

The crossbowman should be armoured, have a high defense base and hitpoints. While the gunpowder units would have no armour. In the middle ages and early modern period, gunners were not so effective, and longbowmen could beat them, the gunner's firearms slowly reloaded.

But balancing like that would defeat gunpowder units as a whole then. They should do more dps than arrows and primitive range, while having longer firing range.

Keep in mind that bullets could penetrate the thickest metal armor, and even those they couldn't the concussive force killed the wearer, so gunpowder weapons were far superior, only inferior when pertaining to reload speed, which was pitiful until cartridges were designed.

Gunpowder VS Primitive
Armor, tied, (because 1v1 the armor from a bowman would get shredded by bullets, and the lack of armor by a rifleman would get shredded by arrows)
DPS, tied, (higher damage for gunpowder, faster fire rate for arrows)
Single-hit damage, gunpowder wins,
Range, gunpowder wins,
Penetration, gunpowder wins,

In the end range is always the supreme advantage to all ground forces.

^Did all that.

Gunpowder in aow2 does have an advantage vs armor, and has slightly more dps than arrows ofc since you are upgrading to get better units.

As I said, HP and dps for all units is being refined to make other units useful.

Equal resources?

 

[Reaper51]

Equal resources?

As in number of trees.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Do you have any other civilizations planned atm?

 

[Reaper51]

Do you have any other civilizations planned atm?

Yep I'm planning 2 more civilizations:
Scandinavians and one more that I don't know yet, maybe ill let get a poll for it.

I'm also going to release two more AIs.

 

[Animalpower]

You could add Sweden. Early Modern Swedish empire and the dark age Varangians.

Mongols, please do Mongols, excellent hit and run cavalry. Good infantry.

 

[Reaper51]

Swedes will be part of Scandinavians, idk about mongols though since their empire fell to pieces before the 1300s so they were not a major player on the battlefield from 1300-1850.

 

[Animalpower]

So you want to implement Scandinavians? There was never Viking empire, but there was the union of Kalmar through the late middle age. You could add civilization named Scandinavia. The Union of Kalmar made Denmark ruler of Scandinavia that is why most northern islands are Danish. The Union of Kalmar broke up when Sweden revolted 1522 and broke a united Scandinavia.

 

[RiotZ]

They were still a major power... Perhaps Prussians? But I guess they would be under the Holy Roman Empire, since that was partly Germany.

 

[Animalpower]

You could add generals as heroes. I have morale system that is based on mana. The general can heal mana. Without generals units flee and slowly regenerate mana. They flee when mana is 0. The general could be a hero that keeps morale high and command. I think the general should have names, if German then Karl van Waldemar.

Definitely won't be adding generals or morale.

 

[Animalpower]

It suits the map, but your choice. I think this map will get popular.

 

[Reaper51]

The poll for the 10th civilization is up!

If you want to vote, you must provide 3 unique units for the civilization you are voting for.
(These units have to be between 1000AD to 1850AD)

I am not going to make any native american or middle eastern civilization since I lack the models and space.

 

[Mechanical Man]

For Poland I can suggest you that gay hussar and cyclone cannon made by em. Maybe I can make up the third one.

Hey, i didn't vote twice!

Sure you didn't : )

 

[RiotZ]

I'm between Italy and Portugal, Portugal had a massive and overpowering navy at one point... And I'm Italian in heritage,

But isn't Italy part of the HRE?

Maybe this is more historically accurate? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Venice

Do you have 3 unique units for Italy?
