Warhammer Conversion Beta - Download/Debug Thread

I'll need to go through possible Civs again as I didn't have any but it was another Civ that had them so I'll get back to you once I isolate which Civ it is.

Oh and I forgot to mention the specialists. I'm talking about the three Civics that give you +1 Free Specialist.

Religious Academies give you +1 Free Specialist and Unlimited Priests.
Merchantilism gives you +1 Free Specialist and +1 Gold per Specialist
Cast System gives you +1 Free Specialist, +2 Culture per Specialist and Unlimited Spies (though that makes absolutely no sense to me o.o)

The three of them together are soooo unbalanced. I can't see myself wanting anything else as it means any Citizen not on the job of getting Food can be one of my unlimited priests. This nets me +1 Hammer, +2 Commerce, +2 Culture, +3 GPP per citizen. While this doesn't seem like much the kicker is all of it combined with the +3GPP.

With three free specialists all in Priest you get +3 Hammer, +6 Commerce, +6 Culture, +9GPP for free on your new Pop 1 city. Now you just divert as many people into Priests as possible to let the city keep growing and because you have so much +GPP you pop out Great Priest after Great Priest after Great Priest and you either practically unlimited Golden Ages, huge tech advantage or make your cities even more wealthy and productive (thats usually my choice). It just becomes utterly absurd how much advantage you get from this and the expansion abilities brought on by this are also impressive. I just can't see why I'd ever want to pick any other Civics in those categories besides those three.

BTW aside from isolating which Civ is having that issue is there anything else you'd like me to check out specifically?

Edit 2: Just started a game as The Hung (OMG such naughty thoughts XD) and after the standard Warhammer movie the Firaxis logo movie started playing.
 
Ah yes that's a good observation. I will make some changes there. Civics will get a revision later but for now:

Tyranny will now give unlimited Spies
Religious academies loose the free specialist
Castesystem loses the free specialist and unlimited spies
 
Two issues.

First off the first Horse unit seems to come a tad bit late. Took me ages as the Hung to finally get the Ancient Horsemen out, something with just a Horse resource requirement and pushing the Ancient Horsemen back a tech might be good. When I did get my Ancient Horsemen out (which is the same time I got my Axemen out) they totally dominated the field and made my axemen pretty well obsolete. Alternatively you could simply add a 4 Str Horsemen to the same tech and keep the Ancient Horsemen but make it Iron only instead of Copper or Iron so that it comes out at a reasonable time period.

Also the Horde doesn't seem to be working properly for me. When I look at my Financial Adviser it says I have free support for 11 units and that all my other units are costing me money. However I currently have horde selected but don't seem to be gaining the +34 free unit support I should be getting.

That's alright for the Hung as they get some bonus on Mounted units(they are horsepoeple). Unless Axemen don't get obsolete for other civs as well I see no need for big changes here. Allthough I will probably reduce defensestr for Ancient Horseman to 4.

Will have a look at that but honestly the free unit calculation in civ remains a mystery to me:mischief:

Thats kinda why I went the horse route expecting to see something special but so far I really haven't. They don't get a bonus to production, or attacking and I haven't encountered anything unique yet. I'll keep playing and I'll check out the same route with a Civ a little less Hung to see if it really is any different.

Their mounted units get +1 Movement and stables are produced faster.

All my mounted units have two movement and I can't comment on the stables as all my cities already have them at this point. XD

Well to clarify all means Ancient and Chariots. Haven't reached the later techs yet.
 
Here is my save file. I've got a group of Ancient Cavalry and Chariots just outside of Tylos and you can see they only have 2 movement.

Ignore the fact that I was sucking really badly in that game. XD

I can confirm the Hung bug still exists. The problem is that the Insanity trait will remove the Horsemen trait that the Hung have so any horsemen made after the Insanity trait switches will not have the any of the Horsemen trait bonuses, including the free Mobility promotion.

Including is my save file with the new patch, you can view that the Insanity trait has changed and removed Horsemen and that my current Ancient Cavalry I've constructed lacks the Mobility promotion and thusly only has 2 movement.

Oh and on another note, the Under Empire's adaptive trait doesn't seem to kick in. Ten turns into the game and I haven't had the option to select my traits.

Additionally I noticed that there seems to be an issue with the Under Empire's tech advantage. In my past three quick test runs I've had the Under Empire and they have always sored beyond everyone in tech and points even while retaining only one city. So I loaded up the Worldbuilder and checked it out.

The Under Empire starts with Raw Magic (146 beakers) and Mining (429 beakers)
Sylvian and Bretonnia on the other hand start with Hunting (86 beakers)
Great Arabi starts with Mysticism (114 beakers)

So something needs to be fixed with the starts techs.

Ah ok my fault I thought permanent traits apply to insane as well not only adaptive. I'll try to find a way around that in python.

Yeah I know the startingtechs are unabalanced atm but I aim to balance that in another way later than simple beaker equality.
 
Really great work, i have no words to say how it's great. Well, i just downloaded and going to play and already have silly question. Can i start playing to be in historical locations? I like that my Impire capital Altdorf appeared in Cathay, thou i would like to see it a bit west. :rolleyes:
Can i do it somehow?
 
You can always edit it in the Worldbuilder.

Btw remember that Milita Swordsmen that had the red blop for nonshaders? I confirmed that it belongs to the Chaos Dwarves.
