Woops, ignore this comment.

I think we should post that there later.

But back to Akkad, I'm not sure of a design but they should definitely be militaristic and specialized in early game war, similar to the Huns.It's a pretty generic idea but maybe Great Generals could grant nearby units a city combat bonus in addition to the regular 15%. That way they could take down cities even faster, especially if you gave the Battlewagon "transfers movement to stacked GGs" which I recommend.

but thats China....

 

[GPuzzle]

China is a regular combat bonus, Natan.

 

[DoctorMcGann]

Yeah, giving nearby units Siege/Volley would be very nice.

 

[Natan35]

Now that's better.

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

That's exactly what I said....

 

[DoctorMcGann]

Natan. Read. I was just expanding on what Uighur said, it wasn't my idea.

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

Sorry that I didn't explicitly describe how nearby units would acquire a combat bonus against cities...

 

[regalman]

So we got one part down thanks to Uighur-Caesar:
Great Generals grant nearby units +15% combat bonus against cities.

What about repairing pillaged tiles grant great person points in the capital(bonus increases every era).

 

[DoctorMcGann]

Random Great Person, or all Great People?

I like it - but is it do-able?

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

I liked the "Get Great General Points from building Improvements." I think that'll represent how they were the first empire since the whole UA would now show the military aspect and the developing a civilization aspect. As the state formed, an army formed and that's all a result of agriculture and building and developing settlements.

 

[Natan35]

But repairing improvements will be more synergetic.
(You ruin improvements to heal you units, conquer the city and then repair them to get more GGs)

 

[regalman]

Yeah the points should be limited towards Great Generals then.

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

If it's going to involve repairing then maybe one of the UUs should get some kind of pillaging bonus.

 

[regalman]

Current UA: Great Generals provide +15% combat bonus against cities to nearby units. Building or repairing tiles gives points towards Great Generals.

Great idea Uighur Caesar. The Wagon could gain extra xp and cost no movement when it pillages. The Lapattu can give an extra movement to start off to nearby units.

 

[COF]

Issue is that Generals aren't earned with points but EXP.

 

[regalman]

The XP for the wagon is just a side bonus. The Lapattu on the other hand could also be able to repair tiles instead of the extra movement. Or it could be both

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

Issue is that Generals aren't earned with points but EXP.

You can still change Great General progress directly through Lua.

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

BTW what is a Lapattu exactly? I looked it up and I don't see anything besides this post and a PDF where it refers to the Sabbath.
