From Medieval to Industrial. - ANSWERED

Post by J.T.H »

Since this is called Age of Strategy, there
should be more ages... But we're only in the
Medieval Age... But i have an idea (3 of them,
actually), that will move the game into the
Industrial Age (but you can still build units
from the medieval age). 2 new units that i want
to recomnend for this, is the "Musketman (who
equips a musket, and is very powerful, but aim
is bad... Much like the catapult)", then the
"Cannon (which had good damage and range,
but can only move 2 spaces at a time)". Then a
new structure, the "Gun Range", which
allows you to train Musketman.
If this were to be added, it will take it to the next level.

Needed Research

Oh, also, you need to research Gunpowder in order to recruit Musketman and Ballastics AND Gunpowder to recruit Cannons.

Daniel has said that we will not leave this age for the game. BUT this may be a variant game later. Like AoF.
Thanks!

Maybe: case by case basis. :)

Approved because: Daniel is allowing some gunpowder units, but only units that were used in the Medieval Era.
So far.

Declined (or "Answered") because: Daniel has said that we will not leave the Middle Ages.
Thanks!

yes, it is partly accepted and already implemented.
but yes, we will not leave the middle ages.

maybe in a different game "theme" - but that is a bit far fetched.

Unless:
a) Daniel gets longer than 24 hour days to do all this or
b) his long-lost twin shows up to help him...

We might not get any more variants of AoS than we have currently :)
Thanks!

AOF will be pulished soon.
yes, SWS should be finished since we are on the verge of the new movie.
i also want the WW2 version (but we need land unit designs)
and i see that a Red Alert version is rising somewhere on forum :)

-----------
practically
- for me it is ONLY approx 20 hours to start a new game theme (if we dont need engine modifications - we needed many for the fantasy version tough)
- i only need these to start one:
- all unit/tech images
- all action icons/projectiles/explosion effects (rocket/arrows)
- all sounds
- all terrain tiles
- all unit/tech stats (balanced stats!), texts
- all "spells"/effects (like the spells in AOF, or the burning effect in AOS too)
- campaign and random maps
- main menu background in 9patch drawable.
- help file
if we have all these, i can build the first version in 2-3 days! - so this is generally not my time that is "short", unless i do all these :) :)

So, Daniel, what you are saying is, if we can get a version all ready, you can handle the engine very quickly?

Dust-n-steel hath desertedeth me. Methinks I must find me a new comrade in arms for WW2 infantry units. ;)

We all knew Daniel was a superhero. :)

All. :D

I think we have some basic riflemen for British, USSR, German, and American. And maybe a few A-T.
I am covering Navies fairly well and can move to air force easily.
Patroid is doing tanks, but is pretty busy with other unit designs.
Thanks!

no, i ment:
- i do not expect very many engine modification that will be needed, i think now we can handle most things any new game will need.
- i said that "if" we need no engine modification i can pull together all assets and stats and stuff to form a new game in sort time.
- naturally every engine modification that will be needed will cost extra time - but i dont expect much
-- --> i think mainly on "optimizations" of the ways of defining the game like
- unit types - what we do currently with unit.json-s to be more easy to define a unit type
- "spells",effects
- terrain affinities (like the undead can walk tru water with lower speed).
- etc
