It's in the church upgrade list.

What does leveling up the church to cathedral do? Increased heal rate for cathedral?

As much as I would love heavy elven infantry.. I agree with alexander. That said, I have some Elven swordsmen/spearmen reskins around here you might like to check out

Does this tech upgrade work? After researching this tech and then placing healers and missionaries around my army, none of them gain an attack bonus or a spell resistance bonus. There is also no graphical icon on any of the units like the Roman centurion

Good ideas. Guess we really only need artists to draw these things up. I have very little skill drawing buildings.

The eye roll, plus the sarcasm gave the impression you were just being rude and didn't like it.

I agree though, with my own suggestion, lol, that a pop cap option would be awesome and help players be able to make a come back late game.

Will the AI ever get the ability to upgrade their units? like from Knight to Heavy Knight, or Archer to Crossbowman?

Why not just call the game 'Age of Empires Strategy' and be done with it? :roll: If you don't like a suggestion, cool. But don't shit on mine. Also, stating why you don't like something provides everyone an opportunity to compromise. Crazy how that works. I merely suggested a population cap that co...

I was thinking about ways to make the random skirmishes more tactical, and I wondered why nobody has suggested this already: what about introducing a population cap based on how much each unit costs? So, for example, an army is given 200 pop cap. A basic swordsmen will take 2 of that pop cap. Build ...

Wait, what units can't walk through forrests?
Nvm. Just realized wolves cant walk through forrests. I think they definitely should be able to though without the need for that skill, and then just make the skill increase movement speed through forests.

Thanks!

I feel that catapults shouldnt be able to be put inside towers.

Ballista on the other hand would be fine IMOconsidering ballista were built for being stationed on ramparts.

Is this one still on the table? I really like this one and i think would fit great as an upgrade to the swordsmen. Also, i think the Elven spearmen needs tweaking. I can understand elven infantry being weak, but i think it's a little too weak when a spearmen dies outright by attacking an orc rider u...

It's been about 5 months since I've done any pixel art-so I'm a bit rusty.

I tried syncing all the shading up with what seems to be one light source. And adjusted the great helm a little bit. How's it look?

Alexander82 wrote:I think that elves already have many fast units on their side

I think the point of this is to introduce heavy units to the Elven roster to help them compete against other heavy units because the pretty much only have light fast units.

What, exactly, needs to be changed with the shading? Saying something needs changing but not saying what or why offers no constructive feedback whatsoever.

I really like them! are the replacement of the current image, or are they "upgrades" of him? I had intended them to be replacements, but we can make her an upgrade instead. Perhaps the silver versions could replace the swordsmen in game now, and the gold breastplate version could be the u...

Awesome! Glad you like it!:D

sorry - that map was ment to be the "Desert Pirates" map. - and the "River Defense" was the "River Pass" isnt it? (i did not find any map named River Defense :)) River pass was a "Random (skirmish/multiplayer) map" i made; it's ready as is, and it works perfe...

I remember Daniel saying to avoid increasing height past 50. Your idea would be good bit i think it would appear like being on the upper tile Maybe shorten and thin out the lance, to make it appear like a spear, and then raise the image about 6 pixels or so, and then add a shadow? That wouldnt be t...

Alexander82 wrote:Yep, it was also my first unit design, so i'm pretty proud of it ^^

Very well done i think.

Perhaps you could copy/paste the entire image half way up the overlap, and then add a shadow underneath to give it the appearance of flying?

How are you getting the audio clips so small (after cropping out what you dont need I mean)? I converted and compressed to ogg vorbis, and a simple "Yes" clip is over 20kb, is there some trick to this?

Very cool! I love that you used the heavy lancer as your base rider!

I thought the unit as a much stronger heavy knight that give bonuses to other units for an high cost. It's not like the banner bearer that is weak but give bonuses. The decurionr was MEANT to be a better unit. It's not meant to go down with some arrows. His bonus have a radius becaude is meant to f...

I didn't mean any offense. I looked closer; the real big issue here i think is that the dragon is tiny compared to it's rider. I think drawing a much larger dragon to emphasize the smaller knight would be beneficial.

You don't produce heroes in tcs Btw, elephants have high hp too. Anyway i think we might lower the stats but your proposal seems a bit too low to me. I still think we should still make this unit cost a lot because you should have just a few of it I also would be positive to a number limit for offic...

Looks more like a bat than anything else. You may want to try increasing the height of the image and turn the dragon sideways to give a better view of the Knight.

Been having an issue with in game editor, not sure if anyones aware, but my obstacles and rocks all disappear after quitting the editor (even after saving) and only reappear after pressing the undo button.
They also don't make it into the activated version Of the map either.

I dissaprove of this idea because it implies a 5 minute game is worth as much as a 30 minute game
