Subdued Animals in C2C discussions

[strategyonly]

I don't know how to convert dds back into JPGs for editing so I had to use the orginal jpgs I did for those sea creatures. Thus I could not do ...

- Blue Whale
- Kraken
- Leviathan
- Mermaid
- Sea Serpent

If you can send me JPG versions of those I could make them.

Do you want JPEG or BMP?

Either, but I prefer JPG since it tends to keep its quality better.

Unfortunately the buttons are not distinctive enough in game. I will have to come up with something else.

Yeah I did not think they looked good either. Blue on blue is hard to see. Also the lower right corner is not the best to see on some of them.

Why can't you keep the original icons?

because then I would need new ones for the subdued animals. You need to be able to tell them apart since they can build different buildings and will have different actions. I can't see a gladitorial combat with the tale of a shark having the same drawing power as a naval battle in the coleseum with real sharks to eat the vanquished. Do you?

Is there anyway you can turn DOWN the "eagle" from being produced, its about 1/2 of the animals that i get and they still keep coming?? Just Askin'

Sorry didnt see this till now, must have been the server problem thats going on.

1. Thanks for the icons. Note sure if DH still wants them made.

2. Yeah I know. The texture mirrors the sides. With no writing it looks weird. Hopefully your not looking too close when playing.

I hope your not going to have sharks kept in the arena. Before modern aquariums sharks die in captivity. Crocs on the other hand would work.

Dont know what alphabet your on yet, but just incase you missed it for the butchering: Walrus.

 

[Koshling]

The new 'Tales of' that result from sea subdues are not slaughterable (which means that if you subdue but have nothign to build they are useless again). Any reason they don't still have a slaughter option equivalent (since it's a tale maybe it 'slaughters' for cultuer or science though?)

Edit - nvm - I see they can - I just need certain buildings present

Fix is in the SVN.

Should I have one for when there are no buildings?

Working on "Study Animal" for yet more science and "Gladiatorial Games" for culture. While hunting for some images I found a mosaic of gladiators fighting ostriches.

Put a jpeg of it here, i'd like to see it.

quick question: what factors improve my chances to subdue an animal rather than killing it?

high attack value? high hunter skill? defending vs attacking? pure luck?

thanks for your answers!

Promotions on your unit influence that, especially the hunter promotions.

thank you!

@Hydro, please convert these new animal mission buttons. Wont be using until v21 is out and I am not sure which is the better sacrifice one. Thanks.

 

[Hydromancerx]

@Dancing Hoskuld

The first sacrifice one was too hard to see and the other one was not much better. I tried to enhance them too and even had to re-size since there is a border to deal with. I added 2 more icons in case you needed them. They are from AOE3 and are of the "Great Hunt" and and Aztec Sacrifice. Personally I think you need a Animal Sacrifice button. I will let you know if I find one.

 

[Hydromancerx]

@Dancing Hoskuld

Here I made you a better Animal Sacrifice icon. I think it turned out really well.

Something like this maybe?

 

[strategyonly]

btw the NEW Big Animal Hunter btn is superb.

 

[strategyonly]

I found some interesting looking units, hunters/trappers what ever . . .

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

Isn't the first one the one in C2C?

 

[Hydromancerx]

@Dancing Hoskuld

Here are 2 new animals for you, a Pigeon and a Loon. Along with the normal bird features you can give them perhaps you could make a subdued animal building similar to my Pigeon Coop building except only buildable from the Pigeon.

Enjoy!
