I'd try copperplae gothic?

Perhaps look at the M&B screenies, since actually that's got as much or more activity as RTW atm.

Looking good so far though, well done.

Combat Abilities
When in battle you can periodically (every two-three minutes) activate combat abilities. They are

Rage (15 strength required, press J key)
+5 power strike, power draw, power throw, ironflesh.
+20 strength, +5 agility.

this costs 15 experience per level, and lasts for [twice strength level] seconds.
after that time the skills/stats return to normal.

Combat Focus (15 intelligence required, press H key)
+[ten times intelligence level] proficiency to all weapons.
+5 agility.

this costs 10 experience per level, and lasts for [twice intelligence level] seconds.
after that time the skills/stats return to normal.

Sprint (15 agility required, press K key)
+5 athletics.
+15 agility.

this costs 7 experience per level, and lasts for [agility level] seconds.
after that time the skills/stats return to normal.

The duration of combat abilities can be extended by 10 seconds by carrying an Endurance Charm.

Add to combat missions in mission_templates (random battle, siege, village raid);

Add to scripts;

     (add_xp_to_troop,":level","trp_player"),

These scripts are really handy to add some interest into a mod, particulalry fo rspecialist things (jooining a guild for example).

Notes;

                (try_begin),
                     (player_has_item,"itm_charm_b"),
                     (val_add,reg2,10),

                (else_try),
                (try_end),

This section, appaering in each ability, requires the endurance charm item and so can be removed in the majority of mods.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

     (0, 0, 150, [(key_clicked, key_h),(store_attribute_level,reg4,"trp_player",2),(ge,reg4,15),(eq,reg19,1),(neg|main_hero_fallen)],

One nice easy trick for this section is to add a conditional as foollows;

     (0, 0, 150, [(eq, "$player_is_assassin", 1)(key_clicked, key_h),(store_attribute_level,reg4,"trp_player",2),(ge,reg4,15),(eq,reg19,1),(neg|main_hero_fallen)],

This lets you enable the abilities after the player has done a quest or suchlike.

     (0, 0, 150, [(key_clicked, key_h),(store_attribute_level,reg4,"trp_player",2),(ge,reg4,15),(eq,reg19,1),(neg|main_hero_fallen)],

The highlighted section gives the conditional that the player must havbe 15 in an attribute to do the skill. You can remove this quickly by setting the number to 0.

Nice simple poll, who should be the next holder of arguably the most powerful title in the world?


Barack Obama would be my choice (I'm British, but hey).
I think he's the only cnadidate who can change global opinions of the USA and actually get his country some respect back. He'll be better at preventing terrorism, because he actually listens to people as well.

Total War Mods - The Engineer's Shed / Any interest for an enhancement mod?

« on: May 17, 2008, 10:49:42 AM »

Ok...

Dislikes;
Egypt. Overpwered, looked utterly stupid. Hellenise them PLEASE.

Rome. Post-marian troops VERY overpowered, please remove, weanken or hsitricise the worst offenders;
- Praetorians were not gods.
- The praetorian cavalry were not that powerufl.
- The Urban Cohorts were a fire brigade.

Although that said, all the late roman troops need a slight drop in power, they aren't that good.

Spartans (see praetorians)

Barbarian Factions.
The probalem here is really that they operate as one tribe, so they have been given really quite poor troops to make up for the abominable large land area.

I'd like to see Spain become Tartessus (slightly ahistorical, but would be a nice touch and fits in well wit their troop tree), with just Carthago Nova.

Gaul should have MUCH better troops individually, several Romans said Barbarians were as good as them individually, ti was just roman tactics, weapons and discipline that won the wars. Have gaul with 2-3 big stakce but jsut the province around Alesia to start. Germans and Britannia the same, 1 province with big stacks.

To Be Continued...
