[M] Empires of Faith (ex-Caravan Raiders)

[nijis]

AI aiming is hard coded -- nothing I can tackle.

Holy wars add five levels to any invasion. There won't be a player marshal for this iteration of the game, but players can affect the likelihood of them by bidding influence.

[Golradir]

Also can you make it so AI archers shoot at the body...... I am tired of this bullshit aimbot hitting me in the head every damn time

 

[ManOfWar]

The Orthodox Ecumenical Basilia now has 31 points in their invasion of syria and we still have not taken it?

Is there a reason for this?

And also the Holy Catholic Empire has barely won any field battles in europa from what I have seen and yet they have gained a lot of points?

[Specialist]

Since you're a dev, can't you grant yourself a subforum? I would shoot and say that it deserves one. 

[Comrade Temuzu]

Wait, what is this? There's a new release or something?

Goddamn, I approve the subforum suggestion.

I've been running a lot of random events to test the system. These can cause the points to jump around a lot. When I have a real campaign instead of a test one, these big five-point jumps should be rare.

You have to win a field battle in a province to actually conquer it. Any victorious field battle that knocks the score to 21 or above should count.


I'll put in for a subforum. Thanks for the encouragement!

[Kazzan]

Seems adding a AI mesh to a map the size you are using is causing some problems, too many vertices or something.
Gonna have to do it by hand... Sigh... 

[nijis]

Thanks, Kazzan. Don't actually do it by hand. Whatever approach we take I'll need to do it to all maps, including many more I plan to make in the future, so I need to figure out other ways around this using routing algorithms based on coordinates rather than the hardcoded pathfinding.

Thank you for trying.

[nijis]

Minor update: There's now a map that displays when you log in, showing the locations of the provinces and (if you mouse over it) the most significant conflict in each. At some point I will try to more comprehensively improve the look and layout of the web pages.

[Suspicious Pilgrim]

The map looks pretty cool, but it's a little off. Hispania, for example, is not controlled by any faction yet but the map says it's under control by the HCE.



Can we expect any ingame patches any time soon?

[nijis]

The maps show the major faction with which the province is associated, but I can fix that if it's confusing.

I'd been working only on the website side of things, but could try to push out some fixes for the WB side. Been a busy week at home, so I haven't done as much these last two weeks as I would have hoped.

[Suspicious Pilgrim]

Just wanted to say I won't be playing this mod for a while, nor Warband, because I have lots of schoolwork and Skyrim to juggle.




Nijis, I suggest fully fleshing out the website features and improving cattle raiding, that would help garner more players. Also, thanks for allowing spaces in our names!

[nijis]

Website overhaul and making cattle-raiding more interesting are indeed at the top of the agenda. Thanks!

Probably promoting the game and getting a subforum is what would garner the most players, but I want to do a bit more work before I push on that. Hopefully in a few months there will be a lot of new stuff for you to check out.

[Comrade Temuzu]

Looking forward to it.

[DrTaco]

Must have!
