Touhou Project Civ (Tengu Republic)

Huitzil37 · May 10, 2013

Okay, first, I need to bring up the Crow Tengu UU again. There's 3 factors here that combine to make a bad situation for the Tengu republic:

Their trait gives them faster movement through hills.

They start in forest.

They have no access to Scouts until Printing Press.

Point 1 and point 2 make sense for the civ. It would probably be bad to change them to a hill start, because unless your civ gets a bigger benefit to get growth/science out of hills (Terrace Farms, Reiuji's research from mines), hill starts are rough. The hill movement speed is a side benefit, not really the main attraction, it's just a way to show "hey these guys can fly." And making that benefit movement through hills rather than movement through forest makes more sense than the other way around -- you could justify forest rather than hills, but it'd take too long to do so. But without Scouts until Printing Press, their scouting is REALLY slowed down, in the time of the game they need it most, as their Warriors or Archers trundle through forest one tile at a time. I highly recommend that the Crow Tengu lose its tech requirement and get the strength of a normal Scout and 4 movement.

Now, here's the text and notes, spoiled to not take up like five pages. I didn't do much rephrasing of the diplomacy dialogue and may have missed a couple typos or commas, but I am pretty sure I got most of them.

But for this one I think that A: it's better to have a more direct reference to a TH game title or concept, and B: the name can carry more weight in explaining what the ability represents. So:

(You can use either one, of course. Your choice.)

And similarly, instead of calling the nerf "nerf", the title can carry a little more explanatory weight:

That makes it clearer without using a lot of words that this penalty is because they are supposed to be journalists and not conquerors.

<Text>Aya Shameimaru is the intrepid reporter and publisher of the Bunbunmaru News, Gensokyo's most-respected (and only) newspaper. Aya can be found anywhere an interesting scoop might be uncovered, a trait that has made her an annoyance to most Gensokyo residents. She is one of the fastest crow tengu around, and uses her speed to help in her photography, as well as to dodge attacks from the irate subjects of her newspaper articles. She likes to spread gossip and believes the purpose of the news is to be interesting, with 'accuracy' a distant second.</Text>

About the dialogue: You are supposed to use the escape sequence ' instead of an apostrophe for XML text, so it won't misinterpret it or replace it with a double quote. When I do this, about 20% of the time it replaces it with a double quote ANYWAY, but I still did it here just to be safe.

About the UU, I believe I already said I wanted them to be more powerful than normal scouts for lore reasons. What you say it's plausible though, and I have 3 ideas on my mind:
1.- Stick lore up my *** and do as you originally say.
2.- Make it so that the Tengu republic starts with a couple of free scouts (could be the UU, the penalty being not having them respawn if somehow killed, though it'd have problems with the "one-man army" thing), they could be normal scouts.
3.- Make the crow tengu replace OTHER unit. If that's better I'd want to know wich one it would make more sense to replace.

About the "Nerf" promotion, don't take me for dumb, it was obviously a placeholder :crazyeye:

It's that easy to use the icons? I'm ashamed I didn't even know.

I kind of don't like the "Shoot the battle" name, but who knows, it could grow fond in me like the city name change.

Thanks for helping out :goodjob:

. Your suggestions are appreciated.

It would probably be bad to change them to a hill start, because unless your civ gets a bigger benefit to get growth/science out of hills (Terrace Farms, Reiuji's research from mines), hill starts are rough.

This is something I've been wondering about... I gave the onis a Hills start because it's pretty thematic for them, but I know I've seen a lot of comments that hills starts can be rather crippling. Since I generally play at a lower level (Prince, usually) I haven't noticed it myself, but I have been wondering if I should try to do something to help the onis out. (For example, they could certainly use the hills travel promotion...)

I'll probably bring it up when I post the mod tomorrow, to get some feedback on it...

By the way, Apolo, should I/we go back to the Sakuya mod and change it, or just consider it a "starter" kind of deal?

This is something I've been wondering about... I gave the onis a Hills start because it's pretty thematic for them, but I know I've seen a lot of comments that hills starts can be rather crippling. Since I generally play at a lower level (Prince, usually) I haven't noticed it myself, but I have been wondering if I should try to do something to help the onis out. (For example, they could certainly use the hills travel promotion...)

I'll probably bring it up when I post the mod tomorrow, to get some feedback on it...

The problem with Hills isn't so much the movement as the slower growth. Inca get the Terrace Farm, which negates that; Reiuji doesn't get a growth bonus on Hills but she gets a research bonus, which is (especially early) the most useful thing you get from growth. Even without the hills travel, Oni would need something that made their growth easier to make up for a hill start.

Nah, leave it be for now. I will get back to that mod eventually and improve it, but right now I'm working on something else. Thanks btw

How about having the Crow Tengu unit have 3 movement, the "Hovering Unit" promotion so they can cross impassable terrain (Tengu like mountains remember? and yes, I know it would make them hover above the ground, but that's the point, they can fly), and available at the start?
