Cont'd.
I've noted there's no manual for this mod (or hidden very very deep), and the civilopedia is lacking in this manner, while there's a lot of stuff about the RoTK history. Now I really enjoy reading about those warlords, however, to do that there's wikipedia - in civilopedia I'd like to read about what those letters and numbers mean in the heroes screen etc. Also, the concepts page in the pedia is in alphabetical order, which is not really good for a beginner's guide.
I'd like to help in creating a proper manual, but I still don't understand many things.
Suggested additions to pedia:
- Info about not being able to build Settlers in scenarios with predefined cities.
- Info about bonuses of Nomad Camp on different resources and on probability of spawning.
- Info on creating Warrior Camp from merging two Nomad Camp.
- More info on what different hero stats mean (Leadership, Might, Loyalty, Combat Levels)
More bugs:
- Some wonders produce "Renowned Scholar" . But there is no such normal specialist. When I want to settle this great person in the city, it would become great Philosopher. Even worse, the Philosopher produces 2hammers and 5gold! (Vs according pedia the scholar should produce commerce). Normal Philosophers also produce hammers. Craftsman, on the other hand, produce research (and academy). I think it's really mixed up.
- In the military advisor screen, at first (or after I use it again), no units are displayed. I have to change one of the categories to see anything. Then I exit and back, again no units displayed. Some refreshing error.
Questions:
- Liu Zhang's unique spearmen list as bonus vs mounted units. Prof.Spearmen, however, have a listed bonus vs only 4 types of cavalry (not including some unique horse units and non-horse units). Is it on purpose? Or does the pro spearmen also work against all mounted?
- When I view the hero info screen, I see a few heroes from other factions (even if I have no espionage against them). Why is it?
- In combat, sometimes I see this text: "The enemy's attacks were guarded by our solid defense sometimes!" (I am attacking, not defending!)
Suggested features:
- There could be an option to stop Nomad Camps from spawning when I already have dozens of them.
- Liu Zhang's UU (spearmen) don't seem very useful - they are available early in the game, but there are not many mounted units early on; by the time there are more (and by the time I got to attacking civs with horses) I already researched the professional spearmen which replaced the UU.
Also, it's a civ with archery promotions feats, so maybe a special archery unit? Or a unit with hill promos?
- When creating random heroes, if I select siege combat level, it seems to always spawn with the same promos as mounted and naval heroes (maybe because they also get some mounted level?) : assault and flying wedge. Now Flying wedge (remaining movement added as bonus) is not really a useful promo for siege units (I guess if a unit has one movement, it is used up in the attack and doesn't count, does it?). Assault might also not be the best (as it only increases the chance of the catapult dying, attacking the strongest defender).
- In the hero info screen, there should be more info on hero: might, loyalty, leadership. These can be seen on a prisoner, or in a historical hero in pedia, but not in the hero info screen.
