Tormy-

No dump, since I had to kill the process. Debug.err: http://pastebin.ca/1904411

Wow nice, a new version! Time to start the testing! :)

It still seems like mounted units will get an attacks (and thus effective damage) boost if they don't move though. I know we're sucking up your time here, but can you explain why NullAshton's idea was rejected? I think Brad responded to it pretty well. The connection between movement speed on the mai

[quote who="LikeTheWhirlwind" reply="154" id="2687766"] We're also separating the movement and attacking phases of each unit's turn. Once a unit attacks, they can no longer move that turn. [/quote] What is the logic behind this? [e digicons]o_O[/e]

[quote who="Tridus" reply="98" id="2686917"] Quoting Sareln, reply 97 Agreed. In terms of tactical combat, I really think AoW:SM had it done well. Had cover, high-ground, movement penaltys by terrain or spell... And takes care OK of the retaliation without abusing... pedroente, how did the AoW:SM system work? Units had a "moves" stat. Moves used the same number overland and tactical. Numbers ranged from say 12 for a

[quote who="Tridus" reply="77" id="2686100"] Quoting Tormy-, reply 75 Quoting Tridus, reply 65 edit - One thing I would say is that a unit should be able to attack once. That is if you have AP = 4 and combat speed = 1, you should be able to move 3 and attack once (the attack in this case would cost 4, but just uses whatever you have left). A unit with AP = 4 and combat speed = 2 could also move 3 and attack once, or move 1 and attack twice. Ab

[quote who="CharonJr" reply="55" id="2685992"] I think that with different stats for movement abd attacks we basically keep the AP system and give the player choices (always good IMO) while being able to "realistically" represent all kinds of units form slow and weak to fast and strong in addition to being able to set up defensive positions if leftover APs can be used for additional retaliations.

[quote who="Gorstagg" reply="47" id="2685969"] Quoting igorCRO, reply 45 what I would like to see is adjacent armies joining the battle like in AoW 2. That sounds like a great ability, as a special ability that can be unlocked, and trained from the tech map... hmm... [/quote] Eh, I've suggested this a long time ago. :) Here is the topic. This is a must have feature. Attacking 1 tile

[quote who="smakemupagus" reply="5" id="2685301"] Quoting Ashbery76, reply 4 My initial impression of tactical battles is not good at all,and not only from a visual standpoint. Indeed... so I'm assuming that the implimentation in 3B is just the skeleton of tactical battles to come. clearly some more depth is needed to make the battles compelling and fun. Here, in no particular order, are some of my favorite features from other

Weird stuff, because this isn't working for me. I skipped the intro since I updated to the new version, and I had lot of save/reload problems. Some saves just won't reload even after 5 tries...and in some cases the game was locked-up as well. I reported these of course.

..and here is one more. This time the game locked-up as well, while I was trying to reload the saved game. I had to upload the file, because it's more than 2Mb. Note: This wasn't a "fresh" reload. I was playing -> quitted to main menu -> tried to reload. Debug.err: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6604769/debug.err

[quote who="goodgimp" reply="13" id="2685042"]I feel that maps need to be about 50-100% larger.[/quote] Nop. The size of the maps should be dynamic. It should depend on the total number of units or groups. [I copy&paste this reply of mine from an other topic ->] Example: Number of units [or groups] on the battlefield / size of the map ->

I was wondering about the tactical [battle] maps....I hope that the size of them are dynamic. -> Example: Number of units [or groups] on the battlefield / size of the map ->

I reported 3 different CTDs, 1 lock-up & 1 save-reload problem so far...0.9 is kinda unstable. :|

Oops, I replied to the wrong topic. :P

Okay, I was trying to reload a saved game 5 times in a row, but it just won't load. I don't have a lock-up, I can see the animated background, but nothing happens. So, I had to kill the process all the time. Debug.err, after I killed the process: http://pastebin.ca/1902387 Saved game: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6604769/aaab.EleSav

I was able to cast a fireball. :P

I haven't tested tactical battles yet, because I had 1 CTD + 1 Lock-up after like 15 mins of playing...the last build was very unstable as well. I've reported these problems of course.
