Age of Imperialism

[Zantonius Hamm]

I disagree, because the promotions given are quite powerful, and the Great Writer points earned will be quite many.

 

[Natan35]

Perhaps too many?

 

[Zantonius Hamm]

Hopefully not, but Steam'll let me know once it's released...

 

[DoctorMcGann]

The only thing I don't like is the UU. I'm always a bit bothered by units that replace another unit yet have nothing in common.

 

[OrderofOlav]

But is that a personal thing, or do you really think it will effect the game that badly?

 

[Zantonius Hamm]

I like it, though.

EDIT: Wow, ninja'd

If the AI gets flight and attacks you, it's potentially rather bad if you don't have AA guns.

 

[Zantonius Hamm]

That's part of the point, though. The Dervish defeat was caused by British aeroplanes.

Relevant to the actual Dervish though.

 

[DoctorMcGann]

Right, didn't know that. I like the idea now.

 

[Natan35]

When exactly it'll be available?
(The Maraa-weyn)

 

[Zantonius Hamm]

Probably Replaceable Parts.

 

[Natan35]

Probably Replaceable Parts.

Bad choice. The statue of liberty, great war infantry and Maraa weyn? I'd rather have it unlocked with ironclads or even more accurately, with dynamite.

 

[Zantonius Hamm]

Dynamite is too early. The idea is that you unlock both the Qalcad and Maara-weyn with the same tech.

Dynamite is too early. The idea is that you unlock both the Qalcad and Maara-weyn with the same tech.

And do you need replaceable parts to build a Qalcad?
I mean, in real life, thereof the answer is no, and they should be unlocked in the industrial era.
also, idea, cause me is obsessed.

Maraa-weyn
Replaces anti-air gun. Unlocked at Dynamite, and has nothing in common with the AA gun. When stacked on the same tile with a great general, yields great writer points. May enter the territory of neutral civilizations during war.

 

[OrderofOlav]

Haha why do you want them to cross neutral territory so badly? I saw that suggestion before

Also, you know the Qalcad replaces the military base (which needs replaceable parts) right? It is historically a defensive construction -it still ups your city defense- so I don't see how it could/should replace anything in the Industrial era which has no defensive building types.

Personally I'd rather have them have an ability that forced enemies to retreat, it's both thematic and useful, which is why I've put it in every suggestion I've done.

Wouldn't that just dupe the Hussar though? I don't remember your exact suggestion, it just seems very similar.

 

[Zantonius Hamm]

I think that early Modern era is the most fitting time period for the Dervish. That being around WWI, and arguably even the late 1800s, what with the Eiffel Tower being unlocked with Radio. I stand my ground, and will not change the civ further.

That is one of the promotions granted to all Mounted units with the UA. Your suggestions have gotten through to me.

 

[OrderofOlav]

I think people should take a look at all the upgrades, this civ essentially has UU's and an UI throughout the entire game!
