REVISED LIST OF UPCOMING UNIQUE BUILDINGS


As you can gather, Koreans didn't get the Elevated House because I wasn't able to implement it. Here's a revised list with buildings that I'm 99% sure I can implement. Again, compromises had to be made, as modding in this game is an excruciating exercise in trial-and-error.


1. PERSIANS, NUBIANS, EGYPT

Booby Trap / Mines ( VI - VIII )

A building that can be placed inside your border that produces invisible mines. The building works best if it is razed after placing the mines to avoid detection (this is because I can't make buildings invisible..). Will cost some knowledge to build to avoid spamming.

2. DUTCH, JAPAN

Sea Outpost/AA Gun ( VII - VIII )

An outpost or AA gun that you can place anywhere on water. Will also have some limited capability against naval units. Costs knowledge to discourage spamming.

3. MONGOLS, LAKOTA

Raider Stable ( I - V )

A recruitment building that produces Raider Cavalry. Raider Cavalry are fast, cheap and really fast to build horse archers that are great for rushing enemies. Only 1 Raider Stable may be built at a time and can be placed outside your borders. The stable is defenseless, costs a solid amount of knowledge to build and is very fragile.

4. MAYA, BANTU, AZTEC

Raider Barracks ( I - V )

A recruitment building that produces Raider Infantry. Raider Infantry are fast, cheap and really fast to build melee units that are great for rushing enemies. Only 1 Raider Barracks may be built at a time and can be placed outside your borders. The barracks is defenseless, costs a solid amount of knowledge to build and is very fragile.

5. CHINA, INDIA

Recruitment House ( I - VIII )

A recruitment building that produces Army Reserve infantry. Army Reserve infantry are slightly stronger militia that cost 2 pop but are very cheap and fast to build. Only 1 Recruitment House may be built at a time and can only be placed inside your borders in city range. The Recruitment House is defenseless, costs a small amount of knowledge to build and is very fragile but is available from the first age to the last. The building will also be able to house a huge amount of these units (around 50-70 units).

PLANNED UNIQUE UNITS


This is also the final list of unique units that I'll implement into the game. With this, every nation will have 7 uniques. I might add more at a later time, but as I'm running out of entries in the files, this may not be possible.


1. FRANCE

Observation Baloon ( V )

The observation balloon will be a fairly cheap air unit that flies at a high altitude and has a large LOS. It will be slow, but hard to hit. But if it is hit, it will be killed quickly.

AND

Buccaneer ( V )

A fast light ship that is more powerful than normal light ships. Will cost mostly a hefty sum of gold to train.

AND

Remove Chevalier ( II )

The Chevalier will be removed to make space for the new units.

2. JAPAN

Yamato Battleship ( VII )

A large, powerful battleship with less armor and HP and more focus on firepower.

OR

Ninja ( III, IV )

A Spy (or Scout) unit that is much faster and has much more craft. (perhaps even an attack?)

OR

Helicopter Carrier ( VIII )

An Aircraft Carrier that carries Helicopters. (this one is questionable, if it can be implemented)

3. LAKOTA

Remove Repeating Rifle Horse ( V ) to make space for Raider ( V )

The Repeating Rifle Horse will be removed in order to accommodate for the new Raider unit from the new unique building - Raider Stable.

A SMALL UPDATE FOR THE STEAM VERSION


I'll start working on a Steam-friendly version after I iron out the graphical problems in the last few versions and work my way up to v6.0. Look forward to a Steam version of the game (and the link to the workshop posted here) this summer!

Well the Stratiotai are still in there. I only removed the Royal Stratiotai. I'm running out of free entries for new units and the Greeks had 1 too many.
