1.9 Screenshots
Changes for 1.9:
New items:
1. over 150 new helmets and helmet variations
2. 50+ new armors with variations of skin models for various races, including variations to leg armor as well. The degree in skin tone on armors is indicated by a (1) / (2) / (3), with 1 being lightest and 3 being darkest. No number indicates an unaltered tone. The variant skin tone items have been equipped to units to better represent the various ethnicities of the factions.
3. 5 new weapons
4. 1 new horse texture
5. 20 new shields and shield variants.
6. New faction banners, including banners which can be purchased at vendors (for aesthetic purposes atm).
7. 3 new trade good items for large parties
8. Additional overhand style spears have been made. Hasta and Bronze/Iron Doru have overhand models which can be found at vendors listed "Overhand x spear" if you can believe it.
- Standard spear variants have longer reach than overhand models. Overhand models have faster attack speed than standard models.
Changes to items:
1. A couple bow and arrow models have gone through name changes: Cretan arrows renamed to Bronze Tip arrows, and given an additional point of damage.
2. Several bows have had their projectile speed increased.
3. Almost all javelin models have had their projectile speed increased.
4. Falx given an additional 2 points of Damage.
5. Items have been rebalanced in terms of cost and armor rating in the case of armor types.
6. "Sling" projectile speed significantly increased.
7. Arrow capacity has been increased +3 globally for all stacks
8. Resized the Sandal model footwear. The legs may still appear a little overbearing on some characters (Females), but they are no longer Herculean.
9. Spears can no longer be used to parry. Player recommended to bring extra shield or sword
10. Many items have been retextured.
11. Hoplon block area slightly increased.
12. Shields have had their hit points reduced globally. This will encourage the player to carry extra shields or sink points into the nearly unused shields skill .
13. Higher tier horses have seen a reduction to hitpoints. Horses globally have had a small speed reduction. Armored horses have been given a slight increase to armor rating.
14. Added mail gloves to vendors.
Changes to gameplay:
1. Surgery now caps at 5 to better represent a wounded to dead ratio 1 to 4-5. No longer will the player have immortal armies.
2. Morale bonus of Leadership significantly increased.
3. The number of missle troops in AI stacks has been reduced and replaced with melee oriented troops.
4. Several factions have had a few of their units converted to pure melee units where before they had javelins with melee equipment. This should help to build depth to AI formation options, and give players of such factions a good account of the "Infantry" tree. Factions include Carthage, Gaul Federation, Tribes of Germania, Tribes of Iberia.
5. Sparta has been converted to a "Castle" model, yet will still retain a town icon.
6. Thermon has be moved to the Hellenic Cities faction, and an additional town has been included to compensate Macedon for the loss.
7. Several AI parties have had their map movement speed reduced.
8. 4 new starting options plus a replacement of the "freed slave" option.
Some other suprises
Changes to units:
1. Elephant riders have been significantly strengthened, and given access to better armor. In addition the units have had a reduction in cost.
2. AI heros and faction leaders have had an increase to stats and performance. In addition they are now worth significantly more experience when defeated.
3. Introduction of officer and general units for AI stacks. These units provide a role in deciding AI formations and can be a challenge to kill as well as give exceptional experience.
4. Gaesatae and Falxman have had their strength and HP significantly increased. It may be possible for you and your horse to both be one shot by a high speed bonus falx swing, so proceed with caution
5. Thracian Peltasts and Thracian Cavalry have been given Rhomphaia.
6. Several Sarmation cavalry units have been given access to Kontos.
7. Hetairoi has been renamed to Hetairoi Xystophoros and been given access to Xyston.
8. Hellenic Cataphracts have been given access to Xyston.
9. Several Sarmatian units which were equipped with daggers, have had those replaced with small spear models.
10. Iberian Lancers and Sacred Band Cavalry have been given access to Xyston.
11. Tribes of Germania units have had their axes replaced with spears/swords.
New units:
1. Germania now has access to a pike unit. Upgradable from Dugunthiz Spearman.
2. Hellenic Cities now has access to 3 meter Sarissa units. Upgradable from Hoplite.
3. Carthage now has access to a 4 meter Sarissa unit. Upgradable from Liby-Phoenician Infantry.
4. Dacia now has access to Rhomphaia units. Upgradable from Falxmen.
5. A new hero has been added to the tavern pool, bringing the total up to 11.
Corrections:
1. The Arena helmet which obstructs 3rd person vision has been replaced.
2. Corrected several "Sunken" town icons.
3. resolved the issue with some heros registering as minstrels.
4. Corrected issue with some bandit parties getting stuck on mountains.
Remaining bugs:
1. Some caravans may still get stuck ( I havent reinstalled M&B in order to get map ed to work). Continue to submit screenshots
of them so that I may iron them out.
2. A few arenas may still spawn you outside the arena area. I'm not placing priority on tracking down this issue since I will be going
to custom scenes shortly. Most of the arenas function properly. pick one and stick with it if you want arena combat.
3. Red text may still occasionally appear after battles. It's harmless
