Draconian Mod Under construction

[Boron]

finally so far your mod seems already well balanced
if we can further improve it would the following scenario be possible ? :

should be really little work for illwinter only 10-30 minutes i think :

they could include your nation as a 18ths playable nation in the next patch .
and other well balanced mods .
especially pvks amazon empire mod comes to my mind there .

so that we have 20 races in the next patch :

your draconians , pvks amazons and illwinters 3rd water race which they announced


that would be a really gorgeous idea imho

Storm troops
I could give the storm troops 'storm res.', 15 gold extra for the commander, 5 gold for regular and for stormdragon 100 extra?

Didn't knew thee was problem with resisting abilities :/....is illwinter aware of it?

Temple troops
The protection is base protection, you have to add armour protection....ummmm is x-bows armor piercing? Can't remember.

The temple Lord and temple guards can't fly due to religious believes ....nah, just kidding. Well they can't fly...I just need a good story to back up why they won't/ can't fly.

Also the temple Lord go an extra misc slot, that's why I made him expensive. He can't fly but uses his wings to wear an extra item.

Temple priest any suggestion(s)? lowering the cost?

The Dragons
They got the same item slots as Pretender dragons.
I'm still unsure if they should have the option to lead. If they can't lead we can cut down some of the cost.
No magic paths for the dragons.

1: Fire res: (75) means 75% right ?

Right


Ummm...hope I didn't missed anything

yes, the possible permutations between N objects of which n are in position A and (N-n) are in position B are

N! / ( n! * ( N-n)! )

so, we have N = 6

for 5+ n = 5 and N-n = 1 so 6! / (5! * 1!) = 6
for 4+ n = 4 and N-n = 2 so 6! / (4! * 2!) = 15
for 3+ n = 3 and N-n = 3 so 6! / (3! * 3!) = 20

bye bye
Liga

BTW. about the mod ... it seems great! I hope to have the possibility to play it soon!

ok thnx . so you chose this formula
but i am unsure if you may only chose this formula or if you have to include something else .
because for 5+ of 1 path i think there should be 12 possible solutions :

AAAAAW , AAAAAE , AAAAAF , WWWWWA , WWWWWE , WWWWWF , EEEEEW , EEEEEA , EEEEEF , FFFFFA , FFFFFW , FFFFFE .

so 12 not 6 possible permutations right ?

i am unsure which formula(s) to use to get this outcome .
for 5+ it is easy to find it out because you can do the 12 permutations manually .
but for 3+ etc. you need a formula .

i forgot the permutations but i think you may not use your formula because this way you miss 6 possible permutations for 5+ example .

but i don't find a formula for this now so please tell me if i made a fault again or when you found a new one

i am not 100% sure with the resistences but i remember if you had 50% fire resistence and wanted to cast a spell which gives +100% the ai interupted .

so i think with 75% it may be a real problem .

could someone plz confirm this ?


with the protection i thought that is with armor values added so sorry .

because i have no modding expierience so far i was unfamiliar with some of your abbreviations

i think i will say nothing more now but say my opinion in the beta then
because e.g. that with the protection of 7 was a misunderstanding of me

so when i can see it ingame it is much easier for me

your mod seems so far very advanced do you already have a date when you plan to publish the beta ?
and do you draw the unit animations yourself or is it e.g. possible to copy some from aow 2 sm or something similiar ?

I'm afraid I can't put a specific beta release date :/ ....I make a little here and there on the mod due to the time I got... I still need nation preferences scale and description on the units, nation description.

The animation (the sprites) in first round gonna be cut, paste and recolouring of existing units to cut down the release date magnificent.
