...Novita' riguardanti il punteggio acquisito in game:...
nijis said:The mod's scoring scale (ie, in the thousands rather than 10s) may have a role in causing a bug, the failure of the stats board to show certain players. (Thanks to Patta for suggesting this.)
So, scores awarded will be decreased by a factor of 10, ie, from 300 to 30. But, you will still get the same amount of gold and hopefully the same amount will be uploaded to accounts.
I will reduce renown somewhat for players fighting as mercenaries -- ie, for a faction of a different religion. This will be a small extra incentive to play for one's own side, but not a drastic one.
This may take me a short while to get right, so apologies if you have reduced gold/renown awards, or wildly inflated ones, in that period.
...ed altre novita' riguardanti delle nuove features per la modalita' "Livestock Raid" nel tentatvio di renderla piu' avvincente:...
nijis said:I realize that many people don't like this game mode as much as the others. I'll grant that it's flawed but I've had some memorable moments playing it, so I'm adding a few tweaks to improve it (I hope). I think it has the potential for a sense of hide-and-seek, of standing on a hill scanning for threats and opportunities, that other game modes don't have.
Current and coming tweaks
IMPLEMENTED You should no longer spawn in the middle of a bunch of immobile bots
IMPLEMENTED Raiders should be a bit more aggressive about attacking the other side of the map, and less likely to defend livestock on their own side
IMPLEMENTED Livestock should move faster. I can't take this too far or you'll have unrealistically speedy cows
IMPLEMENTED One or two defending bots should go directly to the corrals to protect them
IMPLEMENTED You should get a score for each animal you capture that has been under enemy control for at least 30 seconds
TO BE IMPLEMENTED GRADUALLY I'm reducing the randomly generated vegetation with some pre-set props, thus cutting down slightly the time it takes to get started playing on the Mediterranean and Balkan map
I'm not adding more ambitious stuff yet because I don't want to make players download a new version of the game. Also, some village raiding ideas I'm going to leave for another mode.
