Age of discovery

[Stratego (dev)]

new version can only go with 64px.
(in the last decade (lol) we faced too many times that the 32 is too few pixels to draw something.)

[L4cus]

64x64 images are better detailed

[DreJaDe]

new version can only go with 64px.
(in the last decade (lol) we faced too many times that the 32 is too few pixels to draw something.)

So is it really possible to just create 32px then resize them to 64x?

What I mean is that if I do 32x32 and resize it to 64px, that's ok?

[DreJaDe]

Lastly, what is the timeline of this game?

for me it is ok.

[L4cus]

The timeline is 15 century till napoleonic wars (1790-1810 aprox)

[DreJaDe]

It's really hard to find specific units for countries in this. Besides the Spanish.

I tried the English Longbowman

[DreJaDe]

So this game will have the 18th century army? Like the granadier?

[Midonik]

Dre I believe Stratego is reaaaally for 64×64 files so...

[DreJaDe]

Guess I could only follow.

But since this game will make units like AOS not like in AOS then I'll just make unit like that.

Here's a French Crossbowman.

LOL, even info's about this age is scarce

[Squirrel5555]

The way i make mine is create a 32×32 image and rezise it. This is so it looks consistent to the other images, with the black outline going from 1×1 to 2×2 for example. Then i can add extra detail.
I really like the english longbowman, but im not sure about the french crossbowman

There should be no problem thinking about what to make images for, L4cus has posted a few massive lists of ideas

[DreJaDe]

I don't really find a fault in the french Crossbowman besides the guard at his right leg. Idk why it's there but it's there. Oh also the crossbow itself.

Anyway here an English Pikeman

[Maxbirykov2004]

And I need stats for units

[Squirrel5555]

Well since these need to fit you might aswell remake mine, or else it will look out of place

[L4cus]

Wow
I really like english longbow
French crossbow needs to be fixed in some few detail, but it is ok for a beta idea, actually i didnt think about make totally spcific units
The pikeman is nice too, but it feels like there is something wrong, it need something else

I like them, but there are some details...
The leg, as u said, of frecnh crossbow, also it looks more like pavisse crossbowman, it will bd added to the list i have
The arms of pikeman, needs something that make it look like english, even the longbow has it

I dont think we gonna need to remake o edit ur sprites squirrel, maybe later, we already have priorities.
Stratego wants at least 20 units with sprites and jsons. Sorry i am wrong
I will post stats soon

Oh I thought this game would have specific nation's for it's core. LOL

Pls tell me if you won't for me to know.

I'm actually trying to finish one specific countries full circle of army (Cav, Rng, Melee, etc). While also throwing some dif units here and there.

Apparently they really used the shield for their crossbowman, maybe because of their range?

SIDE SUGGESTION
This is just a suggestion but since this is in age discovery I thought on making the range mechanic somehow diferent from old one. The one did between the three rng (bow, Crossbow, Gun) is their reloading speed which to say their num of turns on their atk.

Also, do you really want the accuracy? I fully agree in the idea of the admins of not having one but of course it's on you.

[L4cus]

Check last post of page 7
I have a plan
We need a number of units for the beta version
After we get it, we can think on nations

About accuary. I was thinking about it, but it would be very hard to deal with units that only attack once every 4 turns or more

The reload speed is defined by accuary and attack
Thats y mimitia units will have less attack and accuary for 2 reasons, ghey were worse accuarate and they reloaded slower.
I am not a leader or whatever, i just suggest ideas, i like use my time searching for info and planning things, make stats, think on a lot of possibilities.
If people agree, thats fine, if not, i will post another idea, that until we get one.

All suggestion are wellcome
Since we still at planning seasson, we can change somethings, if others agree of course

[Gral.Sturnn]

If you guys need reference images just let me know, I have plenty.

Also, you can take all of my sprites resize them and work from there, right mow I have no means to work in sprites as Im in lockdown.

[L4cus]

Thank u very much Gnral.
We will u honor

[DreJaDe]

Here's an English Knight

Updated part 2

[L4cus]

I like it
Mmh, i dont know if i should make stats for each different unit, or making sprites just like skins
Is here the possibility of votes?
U will decide, i preffer it like that

[DreJaDe]

Here the ranged version

Still English though

Imma just complete their set

[DreJaDe]

I don't understand what you mean

[L4cus]

Sorry, i am not english native speaker
What i was trying to say is: idk how to say it
For example There will be alot of sprites of a single unit(crossbowman for example) then idk if they all should have the same stats or different
Since that is the situation, i want to hear ur oppinions

[DreJaDe]

They should have different stats for me.

I want to complete this English army composition because I want a complete set of units that can be used.

The problem would be the buildings. I think, should we just use the ones used by the AOS and AOF? Oraybe do you want the buildings I made, since they can be made to 64px they can have higher detail which I wasn't able to do because of the limit.

The next problem is what do you really want for the 25 units ingame? Pls tell me I'll create some IF I CAN. Based from what I see we already have like 8 units. Not including the buildings.

[L4cus]

I need basic units
Like swordman spearman archer worker knight healer etc, that kind of units every age of game has
These are:
-architect (like worker)
-doctor (instead of healer)
-swordman
-pikeman (instead of spearman)
-crossbow (instead of archer)
-arquebuiser
-late knight
-cart
-light cannon (needs another name?)
-Cog (instead transport ship)
-galleot (instead of galley)
-priest

Then some others
-musketeer
-pavisseman (instead of shielder)
-pavisse crossbow
-Longbowman
-halberdier
-dragoon
-Light cav
-handcannoneer
-officer

After that we can think on others
But first at all, these are our priorities
At least they are for me, idk what the others think about it
And yes, they should have different stats

[L4cus]

About england:
-they wont have crossbows units
-they wont have pavisse units
-they will have longbow
-they will have redcoats (musketeer upgrade)
If u have any idea for uniq techs send them plis

[DreJaDe]

English Artillery

[L4cus]

Looks really good
Could u try somethig more archaic (15 century) mike a medieval cannon
