just one question, how do you get it to bombard? the bombard button doesn't show up for me :(

It is a defensive bombardment.

When one unit has bombardment ability but with range "zero", they will only bombard when a unit stacked with them is attacked.

That represents javelineers or skirmishers weakening the ennemy during his approach towards your main defense troops.
 
thanks just keep up with the suggestions:)

But about Rome, how fast do they expand now? I need to know.
 
thx loulong, and that doesn't work when a javeliner is attacked or attacks, right?

It works when it is attacked, but not when it attacks. And as LouLong said, it also works when its stacked with another unit.
 
Yoda: I noticed that Daamat lacked the civilization advances of:
Polytheism
Writing
Monarchy
Construction

They should be given these advances for these reasons:
Polytheism - At that time, Daamat's religion believed in multiple gods
Writing- The language of Daamat (Sabean or South Arabian Script) has been found in engravings long before 250 B.C.
Monarchy - Daamat was a Monarchy, hence the name "The Kingdom of Daamat"
Construction - There are some ancient dams left over from that period and earlier periods existing today, such as those in Kohaito and Marib.
I understand if you don't give them monarchy so as not to disrupt the balance of the game, but I feel that the should have the other technologies.

sorry Yom I will do it:)
 
I would like if the people who are testing it could post a list of things they would like to see changed/added. That would make it alot easier to me:)
 
thx yoda :) , I'll see what happens with Rome's expansion, it wasn't a problem for me in the first version though. What I DO think might become a problem though, is the Hellenized Kingdoms expansion, Daamat's expansion, and to a lesser extent Nubia's expansion. There are enough barbarians to the south of Daamat, but there is so much space that daamat can grow easily. Nubia, as well, can grow southward and westward easily. Though the Sahara is a good barrier, Sahel doesn't expand rapidly enough to impede on Nubian expansion. Hellenized Kingdoms basically have Russia to themselves. Maybe you should think of a Russian civ to slow down H. Kingdom's advancement, and perhaps some sort of south african civ to slow down Daamat and Nubia's advancement. The addition of new civs is optional, but there should be a few more barbarians to the very south of Daamat ( maybe at the "pole" of the map and a little north) and some west of Nubia, in Algeria and Chad.

One more thing I noticed that's less important, is that Daamat still has the adjective of Axumite and noun of Axumite(s). A quick edit to make it Ethiopian and Ethiopian(s) would easily solve that problem.

Last Suggestion: Daamat should actually be Militaristic and Religious and not Industrious, Daamat and India apparently engaged in a naval war in the 7th Century B.C. in the Indian Ocean, so Daamat had a formidable maritime navy.

One Question: You said you were going to add new technologies, are you going to make the region completely ancient and take out/rename the Middle, industrial and modern eras?

Thanks for your patience, I know I'm offering a lot of suggestions. :)

no, that would be more work than im willing to put into this project.

Yeah, everytime I have played as Daamat/Axumite Kingdom, I always happen to get into naval skirmishes with the Mauryan Empire. They're always much larger and more aggressive so I always lose.
 
the naval forces should be about the same I think, you're not gonna get into a war in the Indian ocean without a formidable navy
 
Btw Yoda, I noticed that in Despotism, you can only support 1 unit per city I wanted to know if you edited the properties of the other governments.

Oh yeah, and maybe you should update the poll
 
I really dont remember Yom, if I did. I proberly did, but I woundt change it back, afterall I must have had a reason to do it:)

polls cant be updated, but when the new version is complete, I will make a new poll:)
 
hey yoda, I have 2 questions:
1. Is it really necessary to have that many barbarians in micronesia to slow chinese expansion? there were LITERALLY 1000 swordsmen on papau new guinea alone, another 30 on the phillipines, and 20 closer to home on socrota (that island off the coast of yemen/Africa w/ barbarians.

2. Why'd you change your name? I like Yoda better :)
 
didn't your name use to be just plain "Yoda"? or am I hallucinating?

I dont know what you have smoked, but since the day I joined the forum my name has been Yoda Power. Everyone call me Yoda though;) :p
 
hehe, didn't smoke anything, I probably just convinced myself that your name is just plain Yoda since that's what everyone calls you :)
 
Nope!
