Next Update v1.0 beta - info leaks and sneak peaks

**Magnar** · January 01, 2017, 08:03 AM

Yes we are aiming to do something similar to EB though also different. EB was restricted with the number of facitons and units it could have and also has some errors in their accuracy (apparently). We aren't restricted by the number units or facitons and as such we are overhauling all the facitons with completely new units and hopefully no mistakes with regards to historical accuracy but im sure with time we'll find some

As for you questions:

1) For the next udpate we have completely rebuilt the startpos from scratch and have not yet announced too much about it. The existing thread no longer really applies to the next update. You'll have to wait till the announcement to find out about which map we are using and how the factions will positioned. It will be rather different to the current map

2) xp in the current release is very difficult to get, a little too difficult imo and as such has already been adjusted for the next update. We've not yet looked at the role of agents but it is something we'll get too and the xp gain from training is one of the areas we'll be discussing.

Been a while since my last post in here about what we are currently working on, so here is a little update.

- M@ximus has just finished a complete rework of the Ptolemey roster, im sure there will be a preview coming up sometime in the future.
- There is a massive number of unit cards to be redone in our new unit card style which ROMAL is slowly chipping away at. He is currently working on the Ptolemey unit cards.
- Carthage building overhaul has finsihed the planning phase and is currently in early implementation phase
- We've begun planning the Hellenic building overhaul
- Mausalos has been working on new unit descriptions and reviewing existing unit descriptions.
- Phal is in the middle of overhauling the anciliaries system with a brand new mechanic which we've been discussing and designing for quite a while.
- The startpos keeps getting chipped away at as always but is currently waiting on some more building overhauls to be complete before the cultural overhaul can be implemented

What'll we be working on next?

- Albanian roster
- A little more development of Mauryans (still early stages for them)
- Meroe roster
- More hellenic development
- More building overhauls
- More secret projects

Another update on what the team is upto

- M@x has just finished his work on Macedonian roster
- Romal is working on unit cards still as they are a never ending mountain of work and also playng with the punic building icons
- Phalangitis has concluded some testing into a new categorisation of units so that we can do some secret but intersting things and will also force units to be used better by the AI. (deliberately keeping vague on this

)
- Mausolos has been writing new unit descriptions and reworking existing ones. Dacians and Illyrian descriptions are the latest to be finsihed.
- Fridrotta has completed his research doc for caucasian iberians
- Magnar (thats me) has been fixing bugs, working on untis stats and hitting his head against a wall with some building implementation issues.
- Our modelers (Stealth4health and benjin) have both recently had some time to start on some new models as well.
