Doesn't look that good... you should include it!

We're still discussing this...Cybrxkhan still needs to update it.

 

[cybrxkhan]

No, that stuff is final. Sorry, although if circumstances be different, than D. Afonso would have been considered. And he was, I"ll tell you that.

The reasoning behind no D. Afonso H. is that he'll be making an appearance as a hero. Frankly, Portugal doesn't have too many famous "heroes", and we need all the people we can get.

'Dems fightin' words, varmint! I'm sure that will offend quite a few of our Portuguese users.

Off the top of my head, I can think of Cabrillo, da Gama, Magellan, Cabral and Dias. That's a pretty good start. Just how many of these "heroes" did you want?

 

[cybrxkhan]

^okay, okay, sorry. but we already planned this all out. the heroes will be, anyhow, D. A. H., Magellan, and Da Gama.

 

[Angst]

are you going to include some crappy UU's too? (like Gallic War)

 

[cybrxkhan]

^i don't understand... secondary UUs? probably not. for the main version, at least.

 

[Ball Lightning]

Could be a good idea to make each civ more different.

 

[Angst]

Could be a good idea to make each civ more different.

Agreed. More units alike the innovative Ballista Elephant

@cybrxkhan I found your unit list very balanced. Actually, most units are good - or even insanely overpowered (Cough cough Battle Elephant ) The problems with UUs are mainly:

1) Too much resemblance (Hence: Maybe too many of the UUs have extra first strikes, making the Extra First strike a little less unique). New innovative unit abilities would be great (As if, as I think you suggested, the Canadian UU increases City Happiness by 1)
2) Units are too good sometimes... I think you should add crappy situational ones too (Like the mountain fighting GallicWar or the Jaguar)

Oh, and something completely different.. Is the Vietnamese UU being nerfed? I don't think its a possibility, as it is great you add a immortal uu for vietnam, and as cybrxkhan's the leader. there's nothing wrong with it, just wanting to know

This poster is often Off-Topic, please bother him if he isn't

BOTHER BOTHER!
...
Anyway, I've set up a UI for WOL. I think you guys will love it! Just trying to stay somewhat on topic besides bothering L.J....

 

[cybrxkhan]

@lord_joakim: thanks for the insight. consider these statistics for now "drafts"; they may even remain the same for the first released phase version. however, i and the team will be reviewing the statistics to fix them up for the final version.

hmm... maybe a crappy UU for the... POLISH!!! yea, well, the Vietnamese UU HAS to be awesome... otherwise then they cant kick anyone out of their lands, right?

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

+25% inside borders ?

 

[dutchking]

^LOL. For the poles...they always have a way of having the crap beaten out of them and coming back to life again!

 

[Ball Lightning]

dutchking & cybrxkhan, i'm making a huge list of potential promotions, for normal units, great generals and heros.

 

[dutchking]

Cool, nice to hear, I guess your back from vacation BL?

 

[Ball Lightning]

Um.... well let me think....................................






YES.

[Angst]
