[Maxbirykov2004]

What wrong about terrains what exists now?

[Badnorth]

We already have? Lucus said we need em.

Amm standard terrain package from Aos Aof Aoww...
But i think lucas right because this package is pretty simple

[Badnorth]

Oh ok

Well AOS has most terrains, but I would request marsh terrain if possible. This could be impassable for siege, and defensive buildings would be unbuildable, and maybe have a slowing effect on units on it. I know this is similar to forest, but I would really like another sprite for it.

[Stratego (dev)]

we will have AOW terrains in AOD by default, not AOS (those are 32px based not 64px)

[Badnorth]

Oh thats cool

[Squirrel5555]

Nice.

But some terrain requests that I have are:

Marsh: no defensive buildings, considerably slower movement speed, siege cant move through it

Hills: improves range of siege slightly, impassable for wagons maybe

Are these effects possible?

[Badnorth]

Muddy : Reduces speed of Infantry by 1 and cavalry by 2
Siege cannot go through

[Badnorth]

Ruins/Urban : Reduces speed of Infantry by 1 increases infantry piercing armor and Artillery miss chance. Siege cannot go through also wagons.

Marsh and muddy are not the same?
Uphill bonuses...could be ok but not only rising piercing armor
highgrass terrain: not bonuses but u can hide units there(only infamtry) (idk if its possible)
Rocky terrain: slightly rises melee and piercing armor

At aoww there are some ruins u can set at mapeditor for campaigns...the spritrs could be changed

[Badnorth]

Maybe we could also add a corpse for structures?
Rubble - buildings,fortifications : Vanishing 3 - 10 HP 0/0 Armor
Large rubble - Mega Buildings : Vanishing 6 - 30 HP 0/0 Armor
But it may lead to a disadvantage.

[L4cus]

I understand unit corpses to desappear, but a ruin...it doesnt just dissapear that easily...i dokt think so...

[Badnorth]

a bad idea but.

Rubble - Vanishing - 16
Mega rubble - Vanishing - 32

[L4cus]

A new idea:
1 heavy cavalry lose 2 speed at forest and any other disadvantageous terrain
Also some terrains like shallow that allow cav to pass trought but some big ships cant
Also, muddy terrain and some others would reduce heavy armored and light armored units speed by 1. Unarmored infantry isnt affected
After techs and some uogrades i will learn to mod terrains

[L4cus]

a bad idea but.

Rubble - Vanishing - 16
Mega rubble - Vanishing - 32

How would it work? If u step on it, then desappears?
It doesnt desappear if u step on it so its an obtacle?
U have to wait 16 turns until it?

[Badnorth]

Lasts for 16 turns unless destroyed.
An obstacle yes.
But I still think it is a bad idea.

Maybe for the future...mmh
I havent decided yet if corpses are be on the game...

[Badnorth]

It may be a good sign when the enemy just killed a unit.

When is stratego gonna mark you as moderator? So you can merge and delete things..this could be useful .

[L4cus]

Ywah it would...
Dont worry...he must be busy with soemthing related or unralted to the game...
