Structures (factories)

[Squirrel5555]

Looks a bit crumbled maybe someone could adjust the lines to be more straight and perspective.

[L4cus]

That style iss from early medieval. Try barroco style and gothic too. Thos are more historycally accuarate

[DreJaDe]

Hmmmmm, can Fort Sennivile be the Mega structure for the British factions?

[Squirrel5555]

Sure, I was thinking of something like that, along with star forts or whatever they were called. But this fits aswell

[L4cus]

Yeah, its pretty nice to have those...

[DreJaDe]

Hmm, I kinda wan the star fort also

[DreJaDe]

I just remembered that if I will do fort, this be the a 128x256. Yikes!!

[DreJaDe]

Guys, I just want some opinion about the Fort Sennivile. About the 4 towers if it. In one picture it has a roof while in the other it looks like I has flatforms. Which one would you think would be better?

[L4cus]

I was searching for an image...it looks really good. If u can, please do it!

I think you misunderstood my question. Which should be done for the tower tops. The ones with roof or the one with just flatforms?

[L4cus]

Maybe one could be the upgrade for the other. Just like castle hss its own upgrade...
The more basic cpuld be the default structure...

Moved the village here.

((1)) A Village this can produce only peasants and Can be Upgraded to a factory or defense post
Consumes the Village.

Factories: 3 - 5 turns
Defense towers: 2 - 4 turns

((2)) A normal village :

Can be occupied
Produces only peasants/militias ( forced to go to war )
Cannot be upgraded.
Can research:
Town patrol
Tight fabric

Pls choose Between 1 & 2

[L4cus]

I like the second one. But we shouldnt just throw away the first option. I mean, is is a good idea too.
My suggestion would be to keep the 2nd idea. When u get at "Discoveries Era" then u can upgrade it.
Also, it should be cheap (3 turns) and the upgrade to a factory shouldnt be that expensive (it wouldnt be viable)
Also, some techs like town patrol or tigh fabric could fit on it.
We could leave this for later?
Its a very good idea, but is kinda not a priority

[Squirrel5555]

Or

You start with one town centre, but instead of town centres, the map spawns with these. Then you can choose to keep them as villages(can produce only very basic units and techs), or upgrade them to town centres(this would be quite expensive). Just a thought.

But like you said, we can come back to this later as it is not a priority.

[Maxbirykov2004]

Sorry, guys. But i think better to add manufacture, and then add its upgrade to factory, using tech start 19 century...

[L4cus]

I had the same idea, but i dont still know how usefull could a manufactur or a industrial factory could be...(we cant add vehicles)

[DreJaDe]

Fort Sennivile

[Badnorth]

Awesome

[Gral.Sturnn]

Looks great

[Maxbirykov2004]

Looks defensively...

[L4cus]

I was thinking about make it a factory...similiar to original aos castle...but it only can produce "fortress garrison" special infantry that becomes extremely good fighting next to fortress (fortress would have an aura effect)

[Squirrel5555]

That aura sounds interesting. Maybe something to think about more

Also, lets not make the same mistake as AOS, giving mega buildings lots of special, cool units, but make one so powerful (trebuchet) others are never created.

This aura might be as officer aura or as defense aura (when unit at fortified Tc

[Badnorth]

Brit Command

A unique aura that encourages nearby units moral to defend their Fortress.

+3 attack
+1/1 armor
+40% mental resistance

[Badnorth]

Whats the exact size for mega buildings? Im working on a castle

[Badnorth]

128×128

Castle

[Squirrel5555]

Very nice

Also castles went out of fashion in the 16th century and were replaced by artillery forts, so I'm not sure if castles will be very useful, maybe at the start of the game, and take extra damage from siege cannons

[Badnorth]

I stole a European castle on aoe and resized + a TON of changes

[Maxbirykov2004]

Looks great

Actually, it could be its role...to be replaced by star fortresses
