version 1.156

In this forum I post the changes on the DEVELOPER version of the game.
These versions are (at the time i post them) not yet published to google play, only registered testers can download it and test it before publishing.

Non-tester forumers: if you want to get the DEVELOPER version (to see the changes sooner, or you want to try your own map designs) please EMAIL me to zerotouchsystems at gmail dot com to register yourself as a tester.

We need to apply the profanity filter to map game names (when making a multiplayer game). Please take a look at the currently used game names.

invisible units on bridges behave better from now, you can attack them, they appear/disappear depending on your stealth visibility things - as it should.
drawback: i might have ruined any unit appearance, in or out carriers (buildings/bridge), when moving in or out from buildings and so on. please check.

Upgraded cannon and balista towers can be seen in the preview of the advancement center before building, but I cannot upgrade/build them.

They require researching both reinforced towers and heavy ballista/elite cannoneer beforehand to show up in advancement center.
Green is the correct color, other colors are "less correct".

Oh ok. This does not appear to be clear (unless you already know this).

In unit/building doc (e.g. in help) there are requirements listed on the right panel as icons.
When you click on icon name shows.

But it's a little weird they don't show as greyed out like others when lacking requirements.

Yeah, I agree. I've seen some more people that also got confused because of that.

Turns out they are not shown because one of requirements is upgrade tech, so engine hides them, just like 2nd upgrade tech is hidden.

That makes sense. Maybe showing those that have multiple requirements would be better?

Many unit upgrades have multiple reqs.
Especially in AoF.
So engine changes regarding that would be hard.

i think it should only check the ones that upgrades the unit itself.
but that is not checked now.

whatever i will try to rewrite the whole thing, but that can take a few hours, and also testing is hard for the many cases

ok, i think i have a fix but... but ... really... i might have messed up many many things.
ao all buildlist possibility inall cases needs checkeing
- buildlist
- for all unit and tech setup cases so about 10-20 cases
- mapeditor listings
- help listings

i hope nothing else

As far as I see - there is nothing wrong.
Checked docs, map editor.
For buildilist - I tested various factories and combinations of 3 triggers - one giving various requirements, another - upgrades lv1 and the last - upgrades lv2.
What is shown in factories seems to be consistent with expectations.

There is one visible difference - upgrade techs are all visible (both levels), but honestly - it's good for AoS.

Unless I didn't notice something the only possible problems could be with other variants.

E.g. in barracks both TECH_UPGRADE_UNIT_BROAD_SWORDSMAN and TECH_UPGRADE_UNIT_MAN_AT_ARMS are visible, but latter one clearly greyed out.

I think previously only lower upgrade tech was shown.

Does this mean that Balearic singers doesn't require writing tech anymore?

So is Centurion supposed to be affected by them?

I don't think they are romans. Though the general boost should still affect them.

For now, according to logic taken from earliest assets, that I took all ancient units, so hellenic, roman and mercs employed by them should not be affected by blacksmith research.
Plus primitives.

It's just that only romans are compensated for it.
For now.

So on next assets I have fixed remaining ones mentioned here.
