Pros and cons of killrate modding alternatives

[Duke John]

Posted by Red Harvest:

A true battle line could stretch well over a mile. You couldn't go running that length in 30 seconds. So to simulate the true "flanking potential" you need slower than actual movement speeds.

Lateral movement may now be 5 times too quicky, but forward movement is not (with some edits in animations). If you make movement slower to get a better lateral movement you are messing up the forward movement. I think edited animations so that the running/charging speeds are on par with M:TW will fix most issues.

Good to see you back! But "sprites"? Boy, do you need to learn some things about R:TW

Really CA ought to make killing routing units far more difficult so you are less willing to chase after them

S& M gave routers their charge bonus.
That meant that they could potentially desperately cut their way through an enemy blocking their exit. (a trapped foe is at his most dangerous)

It also tended to make me more careful about who/what I went chasing with.
However I seem to recall this was 'fixed' in the VI patch?

I'm pretty sure that RTW has routers unable to attack at all or with highly reduced stats to the point of irrelevancy.

Interesting idea about the soldiers having been scaled down.
I'd come to the conclusion that various objects had been scaled up to be more 'epic' but scaling down the soldiers kind of makes more sense with what we see.
