sparta


athens

[Kleomenis]

good looking units. i like especially the greek clothes they wear!

[Amorphos]

thanks mate, there is a lot more detail than the screenie shows, you will notice it more in game.

[Hound of Ulster]

very nice

[Mediteran]

i cant wait for this

[Amorphos]

thanks, nearly finished the units and the new map is well under way

[DJOSD]

whats the ETA for this mod? looks great btw.

[Amorphos]

ETA when the map is done, maybe a couple of weeks or less even.

as far as units go, the slingers are done, just the rest of the greek swordsmen left to do.

[Killerbee]

Looks good quetzl .. map shouldn't take long , just descr_strat file , and if that's done and i haven't done anything wrong in .tga files , it should be releasable

[Amorphos]

thats great theo, i can’t wait to play the full version myself. i have resisted beta testing too much so as to enjoy the full product.

good luck with the coding! i know what a nightmare it can be.

[Agisilaos]

Great work from both of you guys. I am ready to start beta testing the new stuff

[Amorphos]

hi agi,

well i could upload the final mapless version in a couple of days, but we may as well wait until the map is done.

you will see a few general unit improvements too [graphical], not just the new units.

btw, i was in the library the other day, and i read about some kind of small balista [sounded a bit like a scorpion] that the greeks had. its name meant shield piercer or something, but i cant remember the name.

i am wondering if i could make it just by scaling the ballista. i would make a new skeleton of course, so we kept the old one too.

just a though

[Agisilaos]

since we mostly want the people to use hoplites in battles adding it, might made the AI to recrut it a lot. i can wait the beta with the map

[Amorphos]

yeah true, i could make it expensive and take 2 turns to build, but no we do want it to be mainly infantry battles.

[Killerbee]

No we don't I think beating phalanxes is easier with cavalry support ..

[Amorphos]

theo

yeah ok so no more missiles! i may yet give the archers missiles an accuracy value, so they are not so powerful. ..or just make them weaker?

[Killerbee]

Hmm .. Instead of doing that , i would think you make them more expensive or so .. i'm sorry , i misunderstood your prvious posts I thought you wanted less cavalry , instad of archers . but making archers expensive should be good

[Amorphos]

no i meant i would make archers lightly less effective. cav will remain as they are, we have mainly infantry units of 60 [base number] and they are strong, so the ai will only build a few for each army [hopefully].

[Killerbee]

AI sucks i think archers should be less effective , you can always change it for yourself
