Skirmisher upgrade cost reduction IMPLEMENTED
Honestly speaking 6 turn for upgrading skirmisher is too much wen catapults r more effective at killing archers, their damage is too low against other units, even for defending shielder is more useful, and skirmisher is cannon fodder to even the weakest cavalry, all in all, i think their upgrade cost should b as cheap as spearman at 3 turns
There is no place for false kings here, only those who proves themselves to b the true kings of legend, or serves under me
For I watch over this world looking for those worthy to become kings, and on the way get rid of the fakes and rule over the fools

Re: Skirmisher upgrade cost reduction
good for me, lets ask @Endru1241
Re: Skirmisher upgrade cost reduction
I agree.
I am only concerned if it wouldn't be too less if skirmishers gets +1 speed and +25% damage bonus vs mounted (as disscussed in Skirmisher bonuses tune-up)
In case of overall skirmisher boost - would 4 turn upgrade tech be more fitting?

Re: Skirmisher upgrade cost reduction
Even with bonus, max upgraded skirmisher only deals 1 more than archer and same damage as max long bowman, in which case its still better to use higher range archers against cavalry, speed might b useful, wat about also making skirmisher horseman have 6 speed?

Re: Skirmisher upgrade cost reduction
Yeah - arbalest is still better, but with 3 upgrade time it would have to be compared with crossbowman - and I think master skirmisher is slightly superior then.Even with bonus, max upgraded skirmisher only deals 1 more than archer and same damage as max long bowman, in which case its still better to use higher range archers against cavalry, speed might b useful
That's what I'm indenting.wat about also making skirmisher horseman have 6 speed?
After all, I started to calculate and additionally slightly increased upgraded skirmishers bonus vs archers.
Look at Skirmisher bonuses tune-up and please tell if 3 turns for upgrade is still OK.

Re: Skirmisher upgrade cost reduction
As long as base dmg and hp is still low, its ok

sorry i didt not think of making it to be 3 turns but a only a few turns cheaper than 6, but whatever you think is good.Endru1241 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 3:03 pm I agree.

Re: Skirmisher upgrade cost reduction
The thing is that once catapult becomes common skirmisher loses its usefulness against archers, especially as elite longbow man deals 10 dmg, enough to kill any archer wounded by catapult area damage, from safer distanceStratego (dev) wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 6:05 pm

On the side note i suggest to raise upgrade cost of longbow man to 6 turns, combined with high morale and religious fervent they become too deadly
