Thread: Adding Units - Balancing Guide?

    Icon7 Adding Units - Balancing Guide?

    Hey there,

    I'm looking to incorporate some new units for an FOTE submod. However, I'm not totally sure how they should be balanced stat-wise, relative to vanilla.

    I was wondering if there were any guidelines or internal formulas the FOTE team uses to balance units.

    Any insight would be very much appreciated!

    Greetings Perpetual.

    What I basically did was after Gunny did preliminary stat balancing, I adjusted each faction I went through with stats modeled around what his were set up to be.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

    That is the grand excel sheet I used to organize/stat/keep track of things. I would recommend copying the entire excel file and making your own so you can edit/adjust it. But as you an see on land-units workshop column C is the unit type and tier, D is the unit key.

    So if you wanted to make a new spearman what I'd do is copy a series of lines of like, a roman T2 spearman, a german T2 spearman, an arab T2 spearman, paste it below at the very bottom of the page, paste your new unit entry, look at the stats and balance accordingly, then move your new spearman entry wherever you deem fit.

    Thanks Ahiga, very interesting to see.

    Couldn't help but notice all those faction rosters documents

    I hope you get the time/inclination to work on the project further - and thanks for the rosters you've done, they make my attila experience much more immersive and impactful.

    AHIGA are you back mate?
    Thanks for the amazing work. Its when people like you are gone for so long I understand the value of such modders
    "Therefore I am not in favour of raising any dogmatic banner. On the contrary, we must try to help the dogmatists to clarify their propositions for themselves. Thus, communism, in particular, is a dogmatic abstraction; in which connection, however, I am not thinking of some imaginary and possible communism, but actually existing communism as taught by Cabet, Dézamy, Weitling, etc. This communism is itself only a special expression of the humanistic principle, an expression which is still infected by its antithesis – the private system. Hence the abolition of private property and communism are by no means identical, and it is not accidental but inevitable that communism has seen other socialist doctrines – such as those of Fourier, Proudhon, etc. – arising to confront it because it is itself only a special, one-sided realisation of the socialist principle."
