i am about to publish to google play the version in dev version in uos 10

please test and feedback me if has any problems.
(we with alexander have modified in deep core the splash/area damage part in the engine - please test them)

Wait a bit more. Alex is finishing dwarves revamp.

definitely not waiting for that, i will only put in fixes, nothing new.

a new update is in dev version - please test it! thanks!

again new version - uos 5

and update again!
burning indicator fixed

Attack Sprite for pikemen lvl 2 is messed up... They are shooting arrows now...
As for pikeman lvl 1, won't even let me select it, map editor or otherwise... Kicks me out of the game!

i dont find unit that i called pikeman
imperail pikeman?

i tried all human pike looking unit and caused no crash so maybe i could not find it.

please write me the exact name you see in game or if you know it the capital lettter unit type name like UNIT_SCALEDFOLK_HIGHBORN_KOBOLD_SPEARMAN

@Alexander82 can u check to the problems?

thanks!

ok pikeman attack animations are fixed.
uos already, please check every unit attack types if works right (was core modification)

i still hakve not found crash.

Once I can download latest dev version I'll check the crash problem

here also is a new thing: you can set the race to random and playerselect

please test it very much, all kind of games uses the same form (random games, campaigns, multipalyer games) to create and launch them.

IMPORTANT: in multiplayer use only PASSWORDED games to avoid non-dev version players to join.

Question: how is made "random" select games?
Every player gains completely random race?

Also for skirmish maps can you add option to generate starting units of chosen race in each tc player owns at start?


I will send soon (during next week) skirmish maps for multiplayer.

it is up to mapdesigner, which player is random and which is not, but yes, a random "race" (dice icon) will get a race randomly amon normal races.

Also for skirmish maps can you add option to generate starting units of chosen race in each tc player owns at start?

no need imho:
a) in a skirmish map you can place it yourself
b) also you can "call" generation by giving only a single empty TC and that case on first turn starter units will be generated automatically

coool!

I wanted a bit faster starting game:
When everyone has 2 or even 3 starting tcs with units.

Also i don't want to place units at start due to the fact that player can choose amy race.


Maybe... Add makrer units? Like "Worker marker", "Ranged marker", "Swordman marker" and "Light cav marker" which upon launching game will be replaced with corresponding units of player's choice for race.

This means that player with random "race" can't choose race upon joining game by himself?
What do we need is ability to choose freely for player that is joining into the game race for him(her)self.

I see the problem. Marker thing seems a little too complicated.

Idea: 2 or 3 starting TC seems to be almost equal that owning one TC but having 2-3 neutral TCs beside and i can occupy them in first turn.
isnt that good?

there are 2 options:
a) RANDOM(dice icon): player can not chose - it goes random
b) SELECT(question mark icon): player can select the race on joining (player MUST select race actually)

It actually isn't.
Owning 2 tcs with 1 worker in each will speed up start of the game a lot.

As for marker thing can you make "Worker marker" unit?

And thanks for explaining the way how it is working now.

Owning 2 tcs with 1 worker in each will speed up start of the game a lot.

sorry maybe i dont understand or i could not explain myself well:
you say having:
- 2 TC
- 2 worker

i say it is better having
- 1 TC
- 2 worker + 1 knight + 1 archer (if u set the game to many starting units) - these are automatically put there if u only gave 1 TC to plyer posession on start.
- 1 (or more) Neutral TC nearby to occupy

on first move any unit can occupy the TC and you are there where you suggested or even at better.

With many units you will have in 2 tc 4 workers, 2 ranged units and 2 cavalry units.

It is even better.

ok, i see
but we need to state how the engine knows when to spavn, current 1 TC thing is because of normal random maps where 1 TC is set for each player and into that TC (later when player joined) generated the required units.

in a multip-skirmish map any TC can be for player and any other units too.


so it is not so clear putting in - this would require some definition as u suggested "worker" archer and so on like indicator things.
we dont have these so please use current setup.

Alright.
Alas in multi-skirmish maps i am planning to make preset starting positions in my multiplayer skirmish maps.

sure, the main reason making skirmish maps is to make it fair eg. on tournaments.
(or i misunderstood u )

Not only for tournaments but for regular multiplayer as well.
For now i am prepairing 4 1v1 maps:
20x20
25x25
30x30
35x35

Reporting minor issues during testing:
I can't choose race on skirmish map that i made in single player in "own maps" section.

I've set for both players "question mark".
Randomizing (dice) also is not working.

And it doesn't want to spawn any units in that single tc.

Upd.:
Sent map to you. Add that map to the game and let's test it.

Yes, i saw that problem. But if u send the map and i put in it will work well.

I already sent map to you.
At least i tried.
