Amazon: Total War 8.0 Release

[Balgeron]

One thing is, that Linked Clad Cavalry should still not be so easily attainable (same for Battle Wagon (not the Horde one!)) and Far East Celts shouldn't start with it maybe? They still have a lot of good units, even in the beginning of the game.

And other thing - what is Quest Campaign? I never seen anything like that anywhere in game, nor in readme - i just start the Anti Imperial Campaign, and start the script as you suggested (with adviser X, after show me).

Perhaps we can allow only one Linked Armor Clad Cavalry units instead of more. Like Paul mentioned, in AI, the FE Celt behavior can still be aggressive but usually retain no more than three regions after the initial flair of aggression.

For 8.0A release, the Quest Campaign is the third selection of the game menu.

Below the Anti-Imperial Campaign, you would see custom battle button, below the custom battle, you would see Quest Campaign.

An emergency fix is being uploaded, this is to resolve the problem with the missing Amazon character gallery entry #217.
The missing character can cause undefined pointer and system crash.

In addition, some place names have been changed to prepare for the 450BC quest campaign.

So are we allowed to check in new fixes now?

[parthian shot]

Not yet, first of all BB is not back, so if we go ahead with the changes, the test result will not be logged.
Second, we are still waiting for the completion of the 43x63 unit tiles.

Thank you, i still had 8.0, but now downloaded a new one.

And what i meant, is that to just add some tech tree requirement to the Linked Armor Clad Cavalry and Battle Wagon (besides the Blackmisth upgrades or stables upgrades). Or even better increase their build times to 2-3 turns instead of one.

If you had a chance to review how Linked Armor Clad Cavalry is first created, from the anthropology perspective, it is a tactical formation out of desperation of a defeated army.

It does not require long period to train. And its combat stat is what our best calibration allowed.

Despite that understanding, for the mod, it requires a city (level 4) infrastructure to recruit, so I am not sure I quite understand what are all the complaints about?

Like I mentioned before, there are plenty of units on the high end of the unit tree which can reduce the Linked Armor Clad Cavalry to dust.

If the game play failed to obtain such units before the player encounters the LACC, it is a strategical failing, not a tactical imbalance.

I am willing to put this to a vote by the team, all campaign testers and development team members are welcome to vote on this, if any team mate want to second the motion of Dragour (who advocates Balgeron's recommendation).
