Pent, code tags please in the future, it's like wading through a sea of code when reading about the giant sea turtle.

I do what I can, thank you for actually laughing at my lame joke.

How is the development moving along on the sea dwarves? (I have a vested interest in the success of this era.)

well right now the iggest problem is artwork. we can't seem to get any artists involved anymore. i'm trying to learn and mirion is back and making sprites, but any help with artwork is appreciated and needed.

everything is getting coded though. and we could use descriptions for the hunter line(and a better name for the sea dwarves)

i'll post a zip containing all the new stuff sometime tonight.

Okay, if you need any more help with description touch-up again or coding, let me know.

as Mirion said we want to keep this thread for feedback and balancing.
I merged the posts from the other thread into this one, but be aware due to their posting times, they are back a page.

i don't really get how those resistances work...

don't give him steadfast. give him 2 lvl 2 options, one (stoic crab) has more hp, better resists

it actually makes a lot of sense, cold=60 means that the unit will be effected by 60% of the normal damage dealt by that attack. the same goes for terrain defense, mountains=30 means that unit would get 70% resistance.

PS-sorry about that Turuk, i was having issues with the post. i will remember in the future.

Can someone please post a faction unit tree please? I'm totally at a loss for what units are existing and what units are just lame ideas...

I've started on some sprites but as of yet I have nothing to show from my efforts. (Partly because I don't know what I'm drawing, which usually helps a lot.)

Also, once I see the units and understand them a bit, I'll write up some discriptions if they're needed.
Take a look at the Era of the Future!
Current factions: The Welkin, The Brungar, and The Nordhris!

it's your idea. go ahead and modify the .cfg file also to easily make the level 2 unit. copy and paste the Giant crab's file. when irt gives you the notice about there already being a file with that name choose theoption that autio renames it. the just rename the new file (leaving the extension alone) and then just open it, modify it, and then save it. rezip the files and post trhe zip file here.

your idea means you can modify it any way you want. i'm busy coding the rest of the units and trying to improve my art skills


sure mirion no prob. give me about half an hour i'm on a slow computer right now

the folowing units exist

Code: Select all

Manta Rider(coded) -> Stingray Rider(coded) -> Serpent Rider(coded)

 Dwarvish Hunter(coded) -> Dwarvish Huntsman(coded) -> Dwarvish HuntsMaster(coded)

                                                            ->  Wave Rider(coded) ->  Wave Master(coded)
                                                          /   
Ocean Apprentice(coded) - - -> Ice Apprentice(coded) ->  Crystal Master(coded)
                                                          \
                                                            -> Ocean Shaman(coded) ->  Ocean Mystic (coded)

Baby Sea turtle(code needs copied from forum to .cfg file)-> Sea Turtle(code needs copied from forum to .cfg file)

Amateur Tamer(code needs copied from forum to .cfg file) -> Expert Tamer(code needs copied from forum to .cfg file)
i think that's all of them. i'll go get my other computer, finish the config files and post the zippeddevelopement version of the Era of the Future here
