Thread: Amazon: Total War 8.0 Release

    Default Re: Amazon: Total War 8.0 Release

    The lybian had almost in every army 2-3 pathfinders and armoured elephants but when they encounter 1 field trap they loose. Rome had 1-5 field traps in there armies. The battle here as showed with the Geothe was against 1 catapult, 1 field trap unit and 1 legion. It seems the AI can't handle the field trap units.
    Normally 1 pathfinder unit whipe out such an army with ease.

    Paul,

    We can not change AI's behavior as far as how AI battles against AI. That is why BB, Pea, and I advocate an open source game engine which can read all the Rome Total War mods to enhance the gaming experience.

    The Open Source Engine would allow us to
    - resolve this particular problem which has been documented since 2004.
    - enable naval battles as part of the campaign
    - enable de-coupling so Pea's pet project such as infantry supported chariot can materialize as part of the campaign.
    - enable siege engine to have better movement.

    When BB is back from vacation, I will see if we can have an update on the current progress of the Open Source efforts.

    Oh! My! They are beautiful.

    I also want to redo the grainy ones for the 48x64 tiles. The mistake I made is that I should have recommended using the upper torso shots. The full body tiles looks great for info, but just too blocky for the user menu.

  5. #215

    Default Re: Amazon: Total War 8.0 Release

    Yes I agree, can you give me a list of the grainy ones? I can do some units tomorrow and then will I be gone till july 22th.

    Actually I can working on it, basically using your unit info picture and can upper torso shot and then convert them to 48x63.

    There are only 3 or 4 models like that.

    BTW, BB is on vacation, so I can not speak on her behalf, but everyone else on the team really like the new unit info and unit tiles.

    Really nice work!

    Well, if that is the case, perhaps you might want to try to use the unit info tile 160x210 and change them to 48x64, or 43x63, whichever is better for the result.

    - Amazon Spear woman for Thyssa, Mercenary, and Slave
    - mano-ballista cavalry for Libya and Thyssa
    - Amazon Hoplite for Mercenary, Slave, and Amazonia
    - Amazon Sword for all factions
    - Amazon Archers for all factions

    These are the only ones I can find right now.

    I don't know if you had this error before, but MOUNT_AFRICAN_ELEPHANT_PARTHIA.TGA is missing from textures and will crush the game if there are Parthian elephants in battle.

    Thanks for the sighting! I will ask BB to log this and resolve it.

    I got this request, and loading the current 8.0A release, the Parthian Elephant seems to be working. Not saying this is or is not a problem, just that the file seems to load fine.

    I downloaded it 4 days ago from MODDB. And Parthian Elephants textures were not there. I copied the Egyptian textures and rename it, then it works for now.

    Looking at the log, if the download is from 4 days ago, it is the current release, and there is no Parthian changes.

    BB and I look over the problems, the only model uses this file (MOUNT_AFRICAN_ELEPHANT_PARTHIA.TGA) is "elephant forest", the model is no longer used by the Parthian faction.
    To help us narrow down the problem, we really need to know what change did you apply to the mod, or did you change the change to have any units using the "elephant forest" model?

    Default Re: Amazon: Total War 8.0 Release

    Change? How?

    I just copied the Egyptian Elephant .tga file and rename Egypt to Parthia in the name of .tga.

    I think what Celeste is saying is that the current release does not have Parthian faction with Forest Elephant model, they only have the elephant with the parasole.

    And the only problem she can find with the file name you provided is with the forest elephant which the Parthian can not recruit.

    Here is to relay Dragour's text changes

    Sarmatia-

    "was used for leather, its bones and even hooves used in armor and bows"
    Simply skipped the ' in it's.

    "Parthians have sent scouts in and ot of the Sarmatian land"
    in and 'out'-right? =P

    "But the worst threat to the Sarmatians is right under their nose. Most nomads, being superstitious lot. have for"
    'being a superstitious lot' and that period shouldn't be there between 'superstitious lot' and 'have for'

    Text changes from Dragour

    Thyssa Amazon-

    "Caucasus Albania is a term describes an ancient geographical domain around the Caucasus Gate by the Caspian Sea"
    'is a term that describes'

    "The Albani Amazons were the Amazons of Albania"
    Yeah.. somehow this feels self explanatory

    "The equestrian class were required to train and constantly evolving their tactics"
    'and constantly evolve their tactics'

    "Many of the units are copies of the Geothe warriors. But they have lost the secrets of the sacred fire and the horse breeding knowledge from their ancient days."
    'Geothe warriors, but they have lost' (comma instead of period)

    "But the worst fear of all, is the Geothe faction who possess knowledge that will end the world the rule of men."
    'end the rule of men in the world'? Not entirely sure how to rewrite this one, but it does need revising at the end there.

    More Dragour's text changes...

    Libyan Amazon
    "it become a secret federation of prosperity and enlightenment"
    'became', not become.

    "pillaging of the so-call the “Heroes” like Jason or Hercules"
    so-called "Heroes"

    "And soon Carthage become the most important relay-trade-station"
    Again, 'became' instead of become

    "All the priestesses except those who are away in the military are murdered"
    except those who 'were' away

    "The Oracle of Siwa, as in most oracles through out the Amazon land"
    'as with most oracles' instead of 'as in most oracles'

    "which would then allows the code to be completely deciphered"
    Just 'allow' instead of 'allows'

    More Dragour's text changes adding to the previous comment...

    Two lines down from previous comment.

    "before she may procreate, an Amazon must kill at least an enemy in battle", does it require the 'at least'? If it does then shouldn't it be 'at least one enemy'? Sorry if I am being too specific or something

    From Dragour...

    Hi there Bibi, not sure how to find the exact line within the text but for the very first faction, Thermodon Amazonia, around the 7th line this text just didn't.. feel right, like it needs to be said differently (personal opinion!)
    "maneuvers at the time when most of combat are personal and are usually duels between the so-called heroes"
    I understand what it means and what you were trying to say, but the way it is said doesn't feel right you know. Again this is just my personal opinion!

    Thanks BB,

    I know you have been very busy.

    The change plus Celeste's review has been added to the latest change. And it is been uploaded to the server right now.

    I think Celeste has identified a problem with this story, because the old map in 6.0 shows the Sarmatian is in controlled of the cities around Azov Sea shore, whereas in 8.0A, the Scythian has taken their place, so to say the Sarmatian is having a Camilla Sect rebellion is no longer accurate.
