[Submod] AOPK 3.0: The Kings Beyond the Wall

[crazycow222]

Yeah, I get that. The idea is that while a computer can launch a DDOS attack pretty easily, by including wait times and post-limits on everything they make it harder for that to happen. My critique is that I feel they've overdone it a bit. As long as you have some delays in place, it doesn't really matter how much you have. A computer can do tens of thousands of commands per second, so as long as you limit it to, say, one per second, then you should be good. I have a lot of experience with web development, and I'm taking a security class right now so I'd be willing to help them make the change if they're willing to consider it.

Either way though, whomever designed TWC did a sweet job, I'm just offering some advice on how to make it a bit better .

Yeah, I wouldn't do that, I've seen people get posts deleted and suspended for that. Just be patient, you'll get there eventually.

No those are Mountain Clansmen, Burned Men i think, the Skagosi are the picture below, the javelin-men.

[AdmiralThrawn]

OK, I just finished making over 300 unit info images (ugh ). Thanks to Dawnbreaker all that's left are the House and Campaign descriptions, along with some strat placement I've been planning to change (the Gardeners and Stormkings will start at war, as otherwise both are WAY too OP).

[Dawnbreaker]

Lookin good, from the pictures i'm guessing, Arbor marines (redwyne grappevine on shield). Knights of the Vale or some such. hmmmm, this one could be a few things, clansmen? (probably wrong). Coldwater mountaineers i'm guessing. errr, Tarbeck swordsmen? Spearmen obviously but their shields are behind them so i can't see any symbol, could be mercenaries anyway. The Mighty Sistermen Sergeants. Some cavalry of the Rock i see the shield of the Lannisters of Lannisport. And some swordsmen of house estermont to finish?

[AdmiralThrawn]

Yup, pretty much, though the swordsmen on the top right are from House Crabb and the pikemen are Starks. I'll probably release a couple more of these over the next week or two.

[cloudfly]

It looks awesome! Out of curiosity, when do you think 2.0 will be ready for release?

2 posts above you Admiral said when it will probably be released smh...

[Lord_Imrahil]

Really awesome mod. I have played v1.0 so much and I am waiting for the new one. The new units look so much better

[arthur wolfblood]

The new unit models are really good.The map and the campaign too. I am waiting for the 2.0.

Hello AdmiralThrawn
Just wanted to ask/suggest something for AOPK 2.0 or maybe 3.0 if its too late for 2.0. I was thinking it would be cool if after you conquer a House, for example I like the StormKings, let's say i beat and conquer the Reach and defeat House Gardner. If public order falls to a pre set lvl, it would be a nice touch if a castle, or rebel turns back to House Gardner in an apparent attempt to restore the Kings of the Reach. I feel this would bring some more game continuity and show that just cuz you beat a faction once does not mean their down of the count. (similar to how i think Hosue Stark/Targaryen will return to power.) I know your planning on releasing this game very soon, and I understand if there is just not enough time to add this feature, but I thought I'd suggest it as an idea. p.s. I think I posted this twice, if I did, oops, lol

[AdmiralThrawn]

Well to an extent houses already do that. It is built into M2TW mechanics that if a house rebels and it's parent faction is still alive then it will revert to that faction. However, I'm not sure how to resurrect a house in that way if it is already dead, and I'm not even sure if that's possible...

Also, here's a preview!

IMPORTANT:
Just throwing this out there: does anybody actually read the faction summaries in the campaign screen? That's the only thing I really have left to do and I'm not stoked about writing unique descriptions for 28 different factions. I could reuse a few, but the lore has changed enough that just about all would require re-writes. I have put together shorter descriptions that pop up at the start of new campaigns and apply to the whole region. Unless anybody out there really wants more lore I'll probably just copy/paste those into the campaign selection screen as well. Otherwise it would delay the release at least a few more days (more if I slack off on it). Any objections?

[arthur wolfblood]

I think that the summaries aren't important. The game is also good without them, I don't read them I just want to play with the game. I've got other mods where the summaries are from the M2TW and nothing is changed. The game is the most important.

[HolyBob]

I would say just reuse the old ones and don't bother writing any new ones. If we're playing around with the lore and stretching it, why does it matter what the summaries say?

[rj2long]

I don't think anyone would object if it meant the mod comes out sooner

[cloudfly]

I don't relay care about the summary. just release it!
