Unit Design

Units in NR will be designed to complement each other such that masses of a single type of troop will be weaker than a tactically balanced army.

Basic units will be available at the start which will upgrade to more powerful versions. For the core, recon and siege lines, units from tier 3 and beyond may only be acquired through the upgrade of units. For example, with the core units, you will only ever be able to build Militia Axeman, Militia Swordsman, Militia Spearman and Militia Archer. Only once these have acquired enough experience may they be upgraded to the more powerful units beyond. This will be possible through both combat and through training with certain buildings (more to be announced on this later).

When specialising units, there are various paths at which the "career" of a unit can be sent down. Many of these are an offensive and defensive path, whereas others are simply varied upgrade options to allow for tactical variation.

Below are the basic unit trees with statistics for each unit (subject to change).

Enjoy for now and please feel free to comment or critique what has been shown so far

Building Design

Here is the new design for the buildings in Naeralith Reborn.
Many of the buildings have been tweaked to allow for proper utilisation of resources.
As always community feedback is vital to the evolution of this mod, so please be critical of how we have designed these buildings.
Tech requirements are still pending the initial tech tree design, but will be added with time.
Many thanks to TheChanger who re-wrote our initial building design to include the resources!

Enjoy

Terrain, Resources and Improvements Design

Here is the initial terrain, resource and improvements design for Naeralith Reborn.

The concept of pigments will be expanded on soon as will the details of improvements and unique features

Originally we thought of quantifying luxuries like strategic resources but decided against it.
Now, various buildings (as detailed in the building design) will take advantage of resources found nearby or worked by a city.

I have briefly outlined the nature of each resource described below so that people know what they are actually supposed to be

I am aware that there are a fair number of luxuries and some may have to be culled.
I welcome community feedback on this and on the yields of all the resources shown (both luxury or otherwise)

Further details on terrain and improvements will follow in time.

What are your thoughts on the 1 Unit per Tile??

will the "military" be basic mass-infantry units .... while specialty monsters, demons, and commanders take up the "civilian" slot??

Or will there be a Commander slot, Monster slot, AND unit slot for each tile ....

OR ... will Monsters and Mass-infantry use the single "military" slot, while casters and generals use the single "domestic" slot.


Basically, I feel that differentiating what combinations you can have on a single tile will have important significance.

For instance, whats to stop heroes/ generals/ demons to have *commander bonuses* for Mass-Infantry units ... yet ALSO have their own combat ability if their bodyguards (the military unit in their tile) get killed.

For instance ... there is a grid of "military units" which, for sake of argument, is both mass-intantry units and large monsters.

Then, underneath that, the central unit has an Intelligent Demon Commander in a separate slot-> giving commander bonuses to most of the military units on the grid.

Surrounding units get killed ... then finally the central unit is attacked by an enemy military unit. The central unit dies ... but the General is still underneath, with his own combat abilities. Assuming he had spells, he could have cast spells during the entire combat ... but now that he is no longer "protected" by military units, instead of being helpless he has his own combat value (for physical attacks).

The average commander wouldn't be completely helpless, and might even be much stronger than Early units ... however over the course of the game, perhaps about half as strong (or less) than an average military unit.

Not only having sizable (1/3 of normal unit) physical strength .... but also having (perhaps) spells, having high withdrawal rates (to escape wounded), and generally having higher movement than the average unit. Higher movement, greater longevity, etc.

Now, having a physical strength (possibly different Attack vs Defense powers) ... theoretically he could attack military units (even while being civilian). This has the effect of a Naval attacking a Military-in-water (which means its possible) ... but in reality it is the general going on the front-lines and fighting the military directly ... with or without any support from his own military.

Some commanders might have attack bonuses if they have a military unit to "give him cover" or "back him up" ... however generally its the other way around (presence of general increases combat abilities of units)

However, we don't need to limit this to just "generals" ... we can also have Flag-Bearers, Magicians, etc. Any intelligent support officer or hero, which isn't mainstream enough to be considered a "military unit".

Basically you can move around generals, magicians, flag-bearers, heroes ... and powerful Commanders which are like a General/Hero/magician superhybrid.

As in ... you could have individualistic characters ... or just faceless support guys ... you can have them physically helpless, or with their own Combat ratings. You can give them spells, bonuses to allied units ... penalties to nearby enemy units (fear rating), etc.

Perhaps by utilizing the "Civilian slot" ... you can add Heroes, Generals, and other RPG-like characters into the military scene (instead of just the lore)


IE: Demons ...

Military Units: Giant Monster Demons .... + Units of Demon Infantry

Special Units: Demon Casters, Demon Tacticians, Demon Overlord (powerful fighter, caster, and tactician)


IE: Humans

Military Units: Mass-Infantry .... + Cannons .... + Steam Tanks

Special Units: Heroes, Bards, Magicians, Tacticians, Political Leaders

[Seon]

And you are back, Alzara

[darkedone02]

I got to ask you, what are you planning on adding as a major setting into the game? Major concepts such as FfH 2 Armeggedon, are you going to add something major into the game that could make the game more fun and interesting? If you can add a special major important element into the game, your mod will be more special instead of just a mod with different packs. Since this is a fantasy mod, that will most likely won't occur, so what are your plans on adding a special feature into your game?

[Tssha]

The art in the flags is really good. Really evokes the personality of the new civs. I can already guess what a few of them are...but the ones that really intrigue are the ones where I have no idea what their faction looks like. I know they look like something specific, but I can't imagine it from the flag itself.

I wanna see what those Civs look like. I want to wish you the best of luck with this, I'm looking forward to seeing a finished mod. May your bugs not be show-stoppers and may they be easily resolved.

[Tasunke]

I'd just like to re-iterate ... combat is awesome, please make interesting/fun combat mechanics/ balance a high priority

Also ... are you planning on Planar Travel? (ie. if Civ V allows multiple persistent maps, will I find out by following your mod? xD ... I'd follow ur mod anyways, but still, it'd be great if you were planning on adding multi-map functionality)

[Cheshiremythos]

When you say 2-3 traits does that mean that your nations won't have unique units/buildings or that they will have a combo of two UU/UB in addition to the traits?

Look forward to more info, especially on the Lewenkai. Good luck.

[TheChanger]

YAY Naeralith Reborn is active! im loving the flag art there Al your artists have done a fantastic job so far cant wait to wee your leaders.

(FYI to civ community, leaders will be static 2D images that Alzara has hired artists to do for him )

However, we don't need to limit this to just "generals" ... we can also have Flag-Bearers, Magicians, etc. Any intelligent support officer or hero, which isn't mainstream enough to be considered a "military unit".

Basically you can move around generals, magicians, flag-bearers, heroes ... and powerful Commanders which are like a General/Hero/magician superhybrid.

As in ... you could have individualistic characters ... or just faceless support guys ... you can have them physically helpless, or with their own Combat ratings. You can give them spells, bonuses to allied units ... penalties to nearby enemy units (fear rating), etc.

Perhaps by utilizing the "Civilian slot" ... you can add Heroes, Generals, and other RPG-like characters into the military scene (instead of just the lore)

I REALLY like this idea Tasunke, ill definately discuss this in greater depth with Alzara when we get to Unit and Combat design. im making a note

Also ... are you planning on Planar Travel? (ie. if Civ V allows multiple persistent maps, will I find out by following your mod? xD ... I'd follow ur mod anyways, but still, it'd be great if you were planning on adding multi-map functionality)

i would love this also, and the Levels of Alzara's Hell could make interesting layered maps, and i can see one civ in particular utilizing a sky layer (Alvacon) and another civ utilizing the under sea layer (Vjasjekii), i also see later technologies around crystal tuning enabling travel into such planes and possibly even city building there.

When you say 2-3 traits does that mean that your nations won't have unique units/buildings or that they will have a combo of two UU/UB in addition to the traits?

Look forward to more info, especially on the Lewenkai. Good luck.

each civ has 2-3 civ abilities/traits like Manifest Destiny in vanilla civ 5, each trait is a hybrid of some of the vanilla ones, new ideas and concepts and some that we will have to create new code for entirely. heres an exaple of traits:

Industrial Prowess: +20% production when building Wonders. Strategic Resources provide +1 production. Iron, copper and Coal provide double quantities.
Isolationists: -33% foreign trade, +1 culture per city. +1 beaker per domestic trade route

+10 points if you can guess who those traits belong to

there will definately be Unique Units and buildings for each civ, we have yet to design any of these so you will get more information on this as we design it but i can safely say there will be more UUs and UBs per civ than in vanilla Civ 5.

what are you planning on adding as a major setting into the game

Its early days yet but we have some grand designs that we will reveal when the time comes

[darkedone02]

That sounds good but let make you guy's don't abandon the game too soon. I'm plan on making a mod on my own if I could learn how to mod on Civ 5, if I could I might help you guy's out.

What are your idea's on making the policies? It's obvious that your game must have magic if it want to be a fantasy mod. If your adding just a magic Policy, it won't be much in depth, I'm thinking of adding more policy of a specific type of magic, from holy, darkness, fire, water, whatever policy. If you could, make sure that specific policy allows specific use of magical spells. So that nobody be spamming fireballs if they don't got the fire magic policy (and the mana resources).

I also wonder how many ages are you going to include in your game? since it's a fantasy mod, it need to be change abit to make the feel of magic in the game and how revolutionary it can be. are your going as far as from stone to renaissance or from stone to apocalypse, or stone to fantasy sci-fi future?

If it is possible, see if you can make tunnels and new multi-level maps. So we can make tunnels, Portals, Astral Planes to travel from one part of the map to another part... Just think Age of Wonder's or Heroes of Might and Magic. This be a grand, and hopefully this can also happen on generated maps instead of one custom map that is always the same (custom scenario maps from Civ 4 and 3).

[TheChanger]

thanks for the offer, well bear it in mind if we need help.

If you could, make sure that specific policy allows specific use of magical spells. So that nobody be spamming fireballs if they don't got the fire magic policy (and the mana resources).

magic is one of our grand designs, and magic in Naeralith is nothing like in any other fantasy world (that ive ever heard of) so its going to be very unique (nothing you describe will help with magic in Naeralith really). Magic will not be in the form of policies i think, we have yet to discuss much on policies at all. Alzara had some good ideas for civics in the civ 4 version of the mod.

I also wonder how many ages are you going to include in your game? since it's a fantasy mod, it need to be change abit to make the feel of magic in the game and how revolutionary it can be. are your going as far as from stone to renaissance or from stone to apocalypse, or stone to fantasy sci-fi future?

Its the Rebirth of Naeralith after Thje Daemon Lord Alzara destroyed a lot of it (i believe, Al can clarrify this better) so itll start slightly after stone age and end in steampunk era with a lot of highly advanced magic technology.

If it is possible, see if you can make tunnels and new multi-level maps. So we can make tunnels, Portals, Astral Planes to travel from one part of the map to another part... Just think Age of Wonder's or Heroes of Might and Magic. This be a grand, and hopefully this can also happen on generated maps instead of one custom map that is always the same (custom scenario maps from Civ 4 and 3).

i think everyone wants this, but it is not a priority of ours. it would be cool however.

[Hankc]

A sugestion about policies: They could be used to simulate religion. Each religion branch would be mutualy exclusive with one branch being free religion and one atheist/agnostic (if aplicable). The free religion branch could provide the lesser, initial bonuses of the various religions, while dedicationg your civ to a religion could unlock some fairly powerfull bonuses not availible to others. The problem with this aproach would be policy-bloating if you combine this with the government trees.

I figured it would be a shame to waste the ideas and designwork put inte the religions.

[TheChanger]

the religions are going to be worked directly into the individual civs i believe we might sepparate them in a religion mod later but its unlikely.

so the design wont be going to waste

These are some very promising ideas; indeed I will go as far to say that Sorcerers in the game will likely work in a very similar way to this. I hadn't thought of extending it to special generals/monsters/flag bearers, but the more I think about the idea, the more it makes sense. Certainly myself and TheChanger will discuss the potential of these ideas. If you have any further elaborations that you think might work then please share them! I feel that community input is of great importance to any mod!

If you can add a special major important element into the game, your mod will be more special instead of just a mod with different packs. Since this is a fantasy mod, that will most likely won't occur, so what are your plans on adding a special feature into your game?

I have plans to include a concept known as "The Great Seal", which is a dimensional barrier introduced after the Daemon Lord Alzara's first defeat. The implementation of this feature is still under consideration but hopefully that will be one of many aspects that should be new and interesting for the game.
Another will be the way magic works. Tiles will have another yield known as "Pigments" and this will accumulate in a similar way to culture to be used in the construction of magical buildings, wonders, projects items etc. It will also determine the effectiveness of 'living' sorcerers that are placed on the tile (undead work slightly differently). This is all due to the way colour defines magic on Naeralith. More will be revealed in relation to this concept.
Other ideas are floating around at the moment and I will let the community know when these are confirmed

I wanna see what those Civs look like. I want to wish you the best of luck with this, I'm looking forward to seeing a finished mod. May your bugs not be show-stoppers and may they be easily resolved.

Hehe thanks! I'm glad you like the flag art. I have artists which work on various aspects of my world and flag art was something that was produced a while back. I will be updating the thread with some basic descriptions and design tonight so you will be able to see more of what each civilisation represents

And thank you for your blessings on the mod's success. I hope you stick around to see how it develops
