Upcoming Diadochi Features

[RedFox]

As I am finally back and able to start working on Diadochi again, I would like to get some feedback on new features for Diadochi.

What is being developed at the moment is:
- New successor units
- New Iberian units
- New Carthaginian units
- Cultural Barracks + Auxiliary barracks
- Colonies


Give any suggestions for features that could improve Diadochi here:

I would be intersted in colonies, this could be a different aspect of the game.

I really glad to hear you come back and start working again,

New units are always welcome. However, IMO, you should make one or more proper installer, those each of patch creates its own shortcut, this may confuse the newcomers.

Sorry for asking but can you give us certain time for next release?

Also, a small preview of new units would be sweet.

Good luck..

Great pack, maybe RedFox may decide to include it into next release.

I took the trouble of taking a few of those screenshots you asked, Hero SK.
You can take a look at the image here.

Thank you very much, RedFox, those units looks awesome

[DimeBagHo]

Those phalangites look great. Nice work RedFox.

[MEanBOb]

Ill be checking back here everyday for this release. Keep up the good work.

[Ferrus]

Mighty fine work there foxy. Cant wait for the next release

[RedFox]

Credit for the work on those Phalangites goes mainly to Maraxus. We worked hard on both the textures and the model.
Maraxus made some really nice skins. Too bad the shields cover the beauty!

What do you think of the new Menu implementations? As people never really used "Arcade Battles" and because Fatigue was always such a problem for newbies to figure out, it would just make sense to have the option right before you begin the campaign or a battle.
I also turned the Camera options into a game options menu, where you can change some settings.

[Dom9127]

I like the new options its quite unique, after this is released you should ask for your own subforum, Ancient Empires Elysium has one and it is a modification based on another.....

welcome back Redfox!
cant wait release of your mod

[CaesarVincens]

When you say colonies and cultural barracks, what exactly do you mean?

[RedFox]

When I say colonies, I mean Western, Eastern and Barbarian Colonies (+Native)
And when I say cultural barracks, I mean Greek, Roman, Barbarian, Eastern, Auxiliary Barracks

[CaesarVincens]

So, the same as in regular XGM (similar at least); were those not features of Diadochi before?

[ServiusTheGreat]

INASTALLER LIKE XGM.

you got me so excited when i was looking at the mod and then the installer screws up, i try again fail, i try again fail.....

WHY ARE YOU TORTURING ME LIKE THIS

[RedFox]

So, the same as in regular XGM (similar at least); were those not features of Diadochi before?

Diadochi is based on XGM 3. At the moment as you know Dime has released version 5.4
These features are old concepts that are finally implemented. They are vaguely similar, but their functions differ slightly, if not completely.

[CaesarVincens]

Ah I see.
Well, cheers and all on the new version. I think I'll have to try it when it comes out.

[RedFox]

I'm uploading it right now, so if you're patient, you should be able to download it in 3+ hours or so..
