Age of Strategy Forums

I'm sure there is a topic on this somewhere, but I couldn't find it. This topic is basically going to deal infantries gaining movement in hostile environments when they don't gain movement in friendly environments. For example, a Russian MGs movement on plains and roads is 3. Pretty typical. However...

I've heard a lot about planes needing an overall change, if not all planes then some planes.
Here we shall discuss that.

I'm going to post some of my ideas soon, once I get in some research.

I can open or find a topic for that discussion. I've actually heard a lot about overpowered planes, I think it's time for that discussion to take place.

In the meantime, though, for this topic, you reckon the image is good? I think the wings need to be curved a little, or maybe shortened.

I've updated the picture with proper shadow.

Here is the name string. <string name="UNIT_GER_PLANE_MESSERSCHMITT">Messerschmit 262</string>

Here is screen shot of the plane in comparison to others.

Here they are, all entered on the XLS. I'll send it to you soon. Cost: 8 (This plane is extremely powerful, one of the few that can face a Messerschmitt BF109.) HP: 30 Attack: 12 Armor: 3/3 Speed: 13 Sight: 9 BONUSES: Planes- 150%, 100% as is usual plus 50% for speed. Buildings and Ships- 270% This ...

Alright, so essentially it's a special ability that, once researched by Japan, will allow players to crash their planes into enemy targets on order to deal massive damage. I reckon I figure out the JSON, and I'll implement a plane using the image below. Also, is that plane based on a Mistubishi A6M2...

I think I can find the time for this, to make both an image and a JSON. I'll research real war characteristics and make the stats based on that, Ill post them here once I've finished. I might have both done by Sunday (2 days, unless my math is wrong. I certainly hope it isn't).

Once again, I've been forced into absentia by unfortunate circumstances. I'm not sure when I'll make my return, but hopefully it will be sometime soon. I apologize for being unable to make any true contributions of late, I am deeply irritated at how often this happens, but unfortunately I reckon I w...

Here is a screenshot of what it would look like in the game. I had to super crop it to get it under 600 kb, but I think it still gets the message across.

Looking back, I've begun to grow dissatisfied with the image I made to replace the original TC image. It doesn't fit on the tile, looks flat out strange, and I've decided to create a better version. This here is that better version, first draft. bld_tc.png bld_tc_occupied.png It might seem like I've...

Some of you ideas concerning Black History month I've found to be somewhat impractical and difficult to implement, and as such I don't imagine that they will be acted on. Similar sentiments to the Abandoned Tank Specialist, which I reckon would serve no real purpose in a game that is mostly devoid o...

The sniper was made a map editor unit only, because when it was implemented its stats and the nature of the unit itself were still under discussion. We had been testing it at the time, and didn't want an OP or underpowered unit able to be used in the game. The unit itself is still under discussion, ...

It should use the Hatftholladung AT grenade as its primary against tanks, however I just realized that you can't use the grenade special ability because it has no range. (At least on my version, I just updated the game 3 minutes ago as of this posting.) Same goes for the other grenade, which is unus...

Just stumbled across here. <string name="UNIT_GER_BRIDGE">Bridge</string> <string name="UNIT_GER_WALL">Stone Wall</string> <string name="UNIT_GER_LAND_MINES">Land Mines</string> <string name="UNIT_GER_WATER_MINES">Sea Mines</string>

Here are all basic infantries in the game. All except Germany are first drafts, and as such need more work. Mainly, I was trying to just get the colors and the helmets right. U.S.- First Draft unit_us_inf_infantry.png Germany- Finalized (for the most part) unit_ger_inf_infantry.png Russia- First Dra...

Turns out I have no more suggestions.

What do you think of my idea concerning the names of the techs?

I have not forgotten this. However, I have been delayed something terrible by the Mortar Unit image redesign. I couldn't figure it out, and my Will to finish basically broke after a while and repeated external distractions. However, now I think I can finally finish this. You'd think after a while, I...

I will be active for the foreseeable future, though there will likely be occasions where I go offline for days at a time.

So if I vanish for a couple days, it's not unusual.

Apologies for being late to the topic. I tested this out, and I must say I like the direction it's going. My first suggestion, though, would concern the names. "Mid War" and "Late War" don't neccesarily make much sense, since you can unlock them relatively early in your battle, d...

Here I'm gathering together all the units that need descriptions. At the top are the completed strings, then templates that need completed, then the units that I have not yet made a template for. <string name="UNIT_TXT_RU_ARTILLERY_SPG_SU_122>Built on a T34 Chasis, the SU 122 self propelled How...

I'll tackle the descriptions for these, as for more campaign maps, I'm afraid others will have to handle that for now.

I will be absent from the community indefinitely. All my projects I have put on hold except the infantry redesign on AoWW, which I hope to make more progress on in the coming months. (And to think I once thought I could do it in 4 days. That clearly didn't work out.) Aside from that, my presence her...

<string name="TECH_TXT_LOYALTY">Researching this instills strong morale and discipline in your ground forces, leading to fewer defections and a strong sense of National Pride.</string> <string name="EFFECT_TXT_AFFECT_HAFTHOHLLADUNH_DAMAGE">Hafthohlladung AT mines are capable of d...

These are all the strings except for the loyalty one. What does the Loyalty tech do in this game?
I ask so I can make the description.

Here they are. <string name="EFFECT_TXT_AFFECT_SHARP_SHOT_DAMAGE">The Damage dealt to infantry units is immense when snipers aim their sights.</string> <string name="EFFECT_TXT_TRANSFORM_UBOAT_SUBMERGE">Submerge U-Boat, rendering the ship invisible to most units.</string> <string...

Sorry for that, it's easy to lose track of errors like that in a sea of text. Here are some more strings. <string name="EFFECT_TXT_AFFECT_RGD33_DAMAGE">The Soviet Anti Personell grenade, deals good damage to infantry.</string> <string name="EFFECT_AFFECT_BUNDLE_DAMAGE">Bundle Dam...

Here is the cool version.

@General Brave, here is the Map I promised.
Sorry it took so long, but better late than never, I suppose.

What do you think? Perhaps it could use some work.
