Santas little wishbox - What if?

[RedFox]

If you had the opportunity to change 3 things in XGM - Diadochi, what would you wish for?
Always be careful what you wish for though, it just might come true

Accepted wishes:
~Change some of the loading screens, I do not like the Osprey ones. (already working on it!)
~Balance the Romans a little more, please. (I'm trying really hard..)
-XGMD 1.0 (patience, please..)
- A new Greek factiom + New Provincial campaigns..
- New cool units for Barbarian factions!
- map to be cut from North (Britain and Scandinavia out) + Celtic Tribes expanded (2-3 settlements moved to Illyricum, more regions..)
- more depth to barbarian factions (improved unit rosters with unique/specific units; very limited access to phalanx and helenic units)
- Re-balanced Agema Hypasists stats (already done)
- Sparta as an independent faction (Provincial Campaign)
- A unique "Greek Cataphract" skin (could be looked into..)
Syracuse as an independent faction (Provincial Campaign)
- NEW AOR UNITS FOR BARBARIANS
- XGM - Diadochi to have a separate Sub Forum (THAT IS MY WISH TOO..)





Merry Christmas everybody!

Merry Christmas, one and all! And, Happy New Year! ME

Edit: P.S. The new loading screens idea is great. I'm in.

[RedFox]

I have some wishes too! (Oy, don't give me that look..)

- Someone to finish the Battle of Cannae - Historical Battle
- Some more +rep (Yeah I'm a greedy bastard)
- Someone to make all new sprites and put them into DMB for me.. (And lazy too.. ^^)

Happy holidays everyone!

I had to throw kegs aross a loading dock for 14 hours yesterday so I couldn't put my wish in on time. But I'll post them anyways.

1. An Illyrian or Bosphoran kingdom as suggested in the "instead of Scythia" thread.
2. No more "Gladiator" music. It makes me depressed for some reason. That Dead can Dance chick needs to get laid so she can perk up and quit whining and muling on the mic.
3. I like the loading screen idea too.


btw, I like the focus point on the rampant elephant.

[charles the hammer]

I dont really have three but a bosphorus kingdom would be nice.(I hate horse archers and thier nations so much.)

[Spartan 666]

-instead of the Bosphoran or Illyrian Kingdom, I would prefer and Indian faction
-some adjustements to the culture system:what does "official culture of settlement:barbarian. Set by world's dominant culture" mean???? then a you build a small colony,a large and then it becomes an "Indipendent western colony"??? The system in default XGM is awesome, you could ask Dimebagho to use it as it is.
-...ptolemies look more greek (characters portraits and cities)

[jakobh94]

- Indian Faction
- New cool units for Barbarian factions!
- NEW MUSIC AND SPRITES FOR XGMD!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[gaunty14]

I like the music for this mod, well all the new music, the original rome music is not great
.cool barbarain units sound cool
.remove the two turn recruitment for carthaginian swordsmen (look like romans)
. new Bosphoran kingdom

[Spartan198]

1. Sparta as an independent faction (I know, won't ever happen, but still...).
2. A unique "Greek Cataphract" skin (something like XGM's old Armored Cavalry skin).
3. Syracuse as an independent faction in place of the Scythians.

[Shadow_LT]

1. Illyrian or Bosphoran faction instead of Dacia.
2. Recruitment system like in XGM.
3.More shield wall formation using hoplites for IGCS.

[unDa]

1. new Bosphoran kingdom
2. Syracuse as an independent faction
3. NEW MUSIC

[Stilgar CG]

More specifically now ...

- map to be cut from North (Britain and Scandinavia out) + Kingdom of Illyria as a new cool faction (2-3 settlements moved to Illyricum)
- more depth to barbarian factions (improved unit rosters with unique/specific units; very limited access to phalanx and helenic units)
- Edit: oh, yeah, Dom9127 just remind me about AOR units. So, my last wish is to get a few extra AOR (barbarians, in particular), so the aux barrack system can be further improved
ME

[RedFox]

M.E. - You just copied those from my "To Do" list in the repository, didn't you? You dirty bastard Thanks for the support though

[Stilgar CG]

Wow, cool. (If I only knew it would be so easy, I would have asked for a new large map focused on Mediterranean world or something like this. Wait a minute, I still have one wish reserved. )

[Dom9127]

1. Re-balanced Agema Hypasists stats
2. XGM - Diadochi to have a separate Sub Forum (if Ancient Empires Elysium a mod based on RTR but changed in many ways can have one, why can't this mod have the same)
3. AOR tweaked

[Suppanut]

1. More Homogenous artworks, please.
2. Currently in xgmD, there are many files which extremely not modding friendly. if you looking into export_buildings.txt then you will understand. I want more friendly sorting.
3. Revised temple system, please. Both me and LucretiusTC are ready to help you as we both are once work on temple descriptions for xgm. I don't like how Spain and all celtic faction have same temple set, celtic and hellenic worlds were more diverse in religion than that. I also want buddhist monastary too but it is only secondary importance due to timespans of xgmD is only half of xgm. Only true problem that block this is 2!

[RedFox]

1. More Homogenous artworks, please.
>> It is already as homogeneous as it can get, due to the development times varying between factions, the style and also skill changes, resulting in newer units looking better than the older ones. Most of the artwork per faction is rather homogeneous; as for UI, loading screen artwork is consistent. So are the UI cards - the ones I make at least. Maraxus's UI cards don't look quite the same, but I was planning to redo all unitcards quite soon.

2. Currently in xgmD, there are many files which extremely not modding friendly. if you looking into export_buildings.txt then you will understand. I want more friendly sorting.
>> All files in xgmD are modified with Notepad++ which is a lot different from Notepad. What looks messy in regular notepad, looks very tidy in N++. I find that most of the files like EDU, EDB and descr_srat are very well commented and organized. No comment on traits files.

3. Temples
>> Units and new factions balancing is more important.


I just found some of these.. statements groundless or invalid, no hard feelings.

[Stilgar CG]

RedFox, do not forget to update the accepted wishes list

I also had an impression of messiness when I looked into XGMD files first time, but after a while I saw order and plan in that apparent chaos. Notepad++ helped to get the message, indeed . There is still some work to do though and would be so good to see XGMD 1.0 in 2009.

Happy New Year, everyone. All the best in 2009!
