[WIP] 3rd Unique Component Project

Would you like a database log when I try to load the redcoat add on?
 
Okay, here's the error
Spoiler :
[38247.794] Database::XMLSerializer (XML/Redcoat.xml): 'Row' or 'Delete' expected, got 'Buildings'.


Will upload a fixed version soon. However you can simply edit the Redcoat.xml and do the following
Spoiler :
replace
<Delete>
<Buildings>
<Delete type="BUILDING_PLAYHOUSE"/>
</Buildings>
</Delete>
with
<Buildings>
<Delete type="BUILDING_PLAYHOUSE"/>
</Buildings>
The Delete shouldn't be there. I had that piece of code removed to test the unit model, forgot to check after rewriting it, my bad.
 
Thank you.
 
Been reviewing some things around the project and I'm thinking of changing the Assyrian and the Babylonian uniques. I'm also looking for a new Swedish unique and alternatives to the American Saloon.

For now here are some changes to be introduced.
Spoiler :
Minor changes:
Hippodrome - Byzantium
Will provide +1 :c5culture: Culture and +1 :c5faith: Faith instead of providing +2 :c5culture: Culture.

Redesigned:
Waag - Netherlands
Replaces Bank
Keeps the Bank benefits
+0.5 :c5production: Production per resource traded in the city
+10% :c5gold: Gold from trade routes

Dojo - Japan - based on PrimoXanthous' Dojo
Replaces Armory
Available at Metal Casting
+20XP to all units trained in this City.
+1 :c5culture: Culture and +1 :c5faith: Faith
Costs 200 :c5production:
Maintenance 1 :c5gold:
 
...Armory/Barracks which add unique promotion: Swedish Allotment, which

Makes those units costing half of the normal maintenance and healing at double rate from pillaging
?

This would make historical sense, be balanced and useful ;)

EDIT
Uhm, mrc, I don't understand the way Unit Flags/SV are created, and I'm not sure if I can create them on my own - I will post here Optimal Silhouettes To Turn Into Icons, ok? I trust you are better with it ;0

EDIT2
So, my alpha versions of unit flags and SV:

Junk Ship
Spoiler :

Khopesh - I had a problem with Khopesh Sword - it is thin and lone sword looks like very thin line from further perspective :p

Spoiler :

Mounted Bowman (Hunnic Horse Archer has simple bow in its icon)
Spoiler :

Polish Uhlan - I am afraid that Version 1 can be too similar to Cavalry icon, so I created Version 2

Assyrian Guard

Clibanarii

Streltsy

Well any lua code I needed I'd ask LastSword and he would write them. Perhaps I can ask Thalassicus to help with this.

Uhm... So could you ask someone for help with lua 'when building is created receive X yield'? ;)

Actually this is the direction I'm following, an Armory replacement, the Indelningsverket, which stands for the swedish allotment, but I'm not sure about your idea...

Sure, no problem, for now the Redcoat is the only one with icon that doesn't have a flag

Regarding the Junk, I believe that the work I'm waiting includes that one.
For the Khopesh I would go with just one khopesh, if you could get me a silhouette better than the one already in use.
The Mounted Bowman and the Royal Guard are in hold...
Regarding the Uhlan, yes the first has a close resemblance to the Cavalry but I'm not inclined with using a national symbol alongside the flag
Regarding the Clibanarii and the Streltsy I'm a bit unsure about those flags

I would wait, if the artist that does the icons will also do the flags then it's something less to worry[/QUOTE]

LastSword is occupied and won't be able to help, Thalassicus has not answered...
 
Allright, news about this topic...

Been playing with HRE to see how it works and to try to get some ideas (I was thinking of adding the Rathaus). Need to play some more with them to see what would suit best, a UB/UNW or a UU.
Next in list to be played is the Papal States, although I already have something in mind, a Rifleman replacement or a new faith unit :D
Then to Norway, I feel the Stave Church would be a good choice, just need to see how to do it, I feel that the existing one is a bit blank...

Also, do to JFD's HRE changes to how Venice works, the Canals will be replaced.
 
Are you going to make a list with all the unique components added to the mod? So people don't have to download and load it into the game to see.

(By the way the sambadrome is still on the icon requested list)
 
How about State Legislature UB for America. No idea as to the benefits. Maybe ability to build some sort of National Guard unit. Perhaps krepost type benefits to purchasing tiles? Should only be buildable in cities founded by USA or gained by trade or peace treaty (ie not by conquest). Likely should have its own building class.

I've intended to finish that, needed a reminder xD

My bad, now it should be updated ;)

I've you develop your idea a bit more, but I'm not seeing that work. I'm looking for a UB, but haven't found a good choice, perhaps a UNW could be an alternative.

Too late, America already has Saloon with AWESOME icon :D

mrc, so what's currently missing? :0

Like Craig_Sutter said, I'm looking for alternatives.

What's missing?
Generally, reviewing all the uniques, finishing artwork, reviewing pedia texts.
Specifically, the Junk Ship, the Sala, the Indelningsverket and some lua codes.
 
Can I somehow help with pedia texts? ;)

Oh... It's late but I reminded one minor thing...

Well, let's be honest, I think that current icon for Agora is UGLY :D and doesn't fit the game very well... Do you like it? ;)

EDIT
Oh, and one suggestion - maybe you could also release Shoshone Tipi as alone mod which replaces Comanche with this tile improvement? I am pretty sure many people would love it.

Sure, be my guest :D

One of the things with reviewing the uniques will be reviewing artwork. For time being is fine.

Yeah maybe I could. Surprised no one launched that on Steam...
