Starting topic:

Just a quick suggestion: a low-tech version of Tech to fit a medieval techtree, like the Crusaders.

It's the same as Tech, but: the steampunk theme (mainly the battle machine and the air units) removed, and a few units/models/textures from other mods may be used, with the makers' credits though.

More on my next post(s) below

Why not rename it to "Feudal," to fit the theme?

If any of you are still busy with your other creations, I'll understand.
I tried to do this myself starting with the Militia but when it tries to load, the Militia gives me the StackTrace error.

Alpha 3 faction tree:

(click to show/hide)

PRO: High survivability of units
CON: High prices of units and upgrades

-Units-
(Castle)
Yeoman - mines and chops wood, and builds/repairs buildings
Militia - morphed from the Worker, basic melee unit, can re-morph back to Worker. For now I will implement the knife placeholder for the Yeoman until anyone volunteers to create a "Yeoman attacking with sword" model
Monk - morphed from the Worker (through an upgrade), can fight, heal units, and repair buildings (will be removed in the future)
Peasant - also mines and chops wood, and repair buildings, can throw stones
Armed Peasant - morphed from the Peasant, basic melee unit, armed with pitchfork, can re-morph back to Peasant
Knight - advanced melee unit, deadly in groups, can morph to a Champion, or (with an upgrade) succeed as a Lord
Paladin - advanced melee unit, intended to be deadlier than Knights, armed with an axe. If possible, can morph into a Honor Guard (which is the mounted version of the Paladin, can also attack with a lance like the Champion)
  *Power Attack - more powerful attack, but there are chances of lower damage than normal
Lord - the leader, can boost nearby soldiers
  -Abilities-
  *Battle Cry - slightly increases boost while idle. (based on Saxons)
  *Summon Guards - summons four Pikemen instantly on the field. (based on Dark Knights)
  *Power Slash - instantly kill/critically damage a unit (based on Crusaders)
Retired Lord - once a leader, but with his "Lay on Hands" (references the Royal Touch), can miraculously heal Workers and Peasants. He cannot attack, but can boost nearby soldiers as well. You can also decide to bring him back to fight, or in proper terms, morph back to Lord.

(Farm)
Chicken - gives a small amount of food, required for an upgrade
Rabbit - gives a small amount of food
Pig - gives some food
Deer - gives some food
Cow - gives a lot of food
Sheep - required for an upgrade

(Barracks)
Spearman - basic melee unit, can attack behind friendly units
  *Shield Wall - increases defence while stationary, optimal with other Spearmen
Archer - basic ranged unit, can morph into a Horse Archer
  *Fire Arrows - self-explanatory, slight damage increase
  *Stakes - can place stakes, a stake costs 100 wood and lasts 600 seconds; effective against cavalry
Swordsman (Guard/Man At Arms) - advanced melee unit, attacks with a sword, can morph into a Knight
Pikeman - advanced melee unit, also attacks behind friendly units, has a slashing and piercing attack
  *Spear Wall - increased boost while stationary, optimal with other Pikemen
Crossbowman - advanced ranged unit, but shorter range than the Archer, (in the future) can morph to either Pavise or Mounted Crossbowman
  *Snipe - defensive attack with increased ranged and damage
Banner Guard - the alternative to the Lord, slightly boosts nearby units, can also fight with a sword
Handgunner - advanced ranged unit, attacks with splash

(Stable)
Scout - basic cavalry unit, intended for reconnaissance, can attack with a sword
  *Locate - scouts for any enemy within a 20-tile radius (will be released in the future)
Horseman/Cavalier - basic cavalry unit, same with the Tech Horseman, no apparent changes.
Horse Archer - advanced ranged cavalry unit
  *Fire Arrows - self-explanatory
Champion - advanced cavalry unit, attacks with a sword (and lance, if applicable, through an upgrade), can be dismounted back to a Knight

(Tent)
Engineer - specialist unit, can throw rocks (instead of Molotov cocktails), repair buildings, or (with an upgrade) heal units
  > Catapult - advanced ranged siege unit, can be decommissioned back to Engineer to save speed
       *Stone Ball - low splash, large damage
       *Fire Ball - should be renamed "Ignited Ball", same with Tech Catapult
       *Flaming Barrel - placeholder for Sapper, splash of 3
  > Ballista - advanced ranged siege unit, also can be decommissioned to save speed
       *Bolts - no splash, but large damage to a single static unit
       *Fire Bolts - same with Tech Ballista
Sapper (if found) - fast specialist unit, hurls a barrel of flaming oil to enemies, must return to Cauldron to reload
Mantlet - specialist siege unit, the meat-shield, but cannot fight; used as cover for your ranged units.
Battering Ram - slow but powerful siege unit, effective against buildings.
Trebuchet (if found) - advanced powerful siege unit, can be two units: one to move from place to place, other to fire, also you can command to fire.
Ballista, siege (if found) - powerful siege unit, like the static Ballista

-Buildings-
Castle - hires Yeomen and can summon a Lord, knights, and paladins.
Farm - responsible for food production, produces animals
Barracks - hires footmen units
Blacksmith - has unit-related upgrades
Stable - hires cavalry units
Market (if found) - where you can trade (buy/sell) resources
Guild - has multiple upgrades, mostly non-unit related
Tent - hires Engineers and creates siege units
Statue - no suggested use for now, but slightly boosts your Lord's regeneration rate if he is nearby, for cosmetic appearance
Watchtower - Tech's Defense Tower
Defense Tower - the stone-textured Defense Tower

Warchest - the drop-off point for resources, secondary to the Castle/Guild
Banner - for cosmetic appearance, morph to Banner Guard if necessary
Cauldron - required for Defense Towers to use Oil, and to reload the Sapper

Don't forget walls, wood and stone (can block units, siege units can destroy them easily)

-Upgrades-
(Castle)
Honour - basis for some units and upgrades

(Barracks)
Training Field - self-explanatory
Beddings - any foot soldier staying inside a Barracks will regenerate health, provided no unit production is ongoing in that Barracks.

(Blacksmith)
Blade Weapons - self-explanatory
Piercing Weapons - also self-explanatory
Shield - also self-explanatory
Fire Arrows - allows Archers/Horse Archers, and Defense Towers to use a second attack (energy-based attack?)
Gunpowder- unlocks the Handgunner unit

(Guild)
Tanners - increases armor for Leather based infantry units
Fletchers - increases attack range of arrow-based units by 1 (huge difference), as well slightly the damage
Medicine - Allows Engineers to heal units
Monastery - allows a Worker to be morphed to a Monk, as well as an upgrade to the Guild (will be removed in the future)
Banners - allows creation of Banner Guards
Barding - required for Champions and Honor Guards
Jousting Arena/Quintains - allows Champions to use lances
Advanced Architecture - allows creation of advanced structures (will probably be renamed "Architecture")
Market (placeholder for Market building) - allows trade within the Guild, for now

(Tent)
Feudalism/Lordship - allows your Lord to be summoned
Chivalry - allows summoning of (and promotion to) Knights
Siege Engineering - allows use of siege units

(Lord)
Military Charter - If your Lord retires/dies, a second way to create a Lord is enabled: a Knight can succeed as Lord, provided the Knight is not dying while morphing.

~

It's a lot of work, doesn't it? Feel free to ask for reduction.

POLL RESULTS:
#1
25% Yes, 50% Maybe, 25% No; and the No vote was first, so I will not add the Retired Lord unit, unless there is any other suggestions to add such unit.
#2
Currently Yes, 66% Maybe, 33%; Honour Guard may be added in the future.

I'd like to encourage you to try and do this yourself. Checkout the wiki (link in my signature) for guides on creating mods. What's the error message you're getting?

Title: Re: Low Tech (feudal)
Post by: wciow on 16 January 2015, 19:49:35

I liked this idea so I've started working on it. The feudal faction is a mixture of units from tech, prax and crusaders. This mainly an xml changing faction to bring the units together and tweak the stats a bit. I will be remaking the icons for the whole faction to keep them coherent. There may be a small amount of retexturing and modeling as well.

This is a small mod to ease myself back into Glest modding before i take on a whole new faction.

Title: Re: Low Tech (feudal), edit update #3
Post by: Carl the Great on 16 January 2015, 21:22:48

Click spoiler for old post.

(click to show/hide)

wciow, were you working on something else?

Please make sure to give credit to atze if you are using the Prax mod as a blueprint for the texturing.
I recommend two kinds of soldiers: leather armor and chain armor (metal), so there will be a working to the texturing of the leather soldiers only,

Omega: The error was this, I copied the worker attack tga file from the Axe Indian and quickly recoded the Militia and Worker,  but when I loaded it, there goes the unknown StackTrace error. Probably the morphing part. I decided to scrap this idea, but I am going to retry this for the second faction.

Here's the summary of the units (just a suggestion):
Castle (best defense)/Village (Forum from Romans)
>Peasant (can be same texture from Crusaders)
>>Mob (armed with axe/pitchfork, scrapping for the other faction)
>>Rioter (from Persians; throws rocks, also scrapping)
>Yeoman (repairs a bit faster, can be same with Worker)
>>Militia (Swordsman from Gauls)
>>Monk (optional; from Crusaders; slowly heal units)
>Lord (can retexture Richard from Crusaders, as a boost to soldiers)
>Paladin (see below)
Farm
>Chicken (from Egypt)
>Pig
>Deer (optional; from Woodsmen)
>Cow
Barracks
>Spearman (leather from Prax)
>>Spearman_ (chain metal)
>Axeman (optional; from Prax)
>Archer (from Tech or Norsemen, or both)
>Guard (rename to Man At Arms?)
>>Knight (with sword)
>Standard Bearer/Banner Guard (from Prax, boost to soldiers)
Stable (requires Farm, from Indians)
>Horseman/Cavalry
>>Knight__/Champion (from Roman Tribune or Greece 'Calvary' its Cavalry, or combine Horseman model with a Knight)
>Horse Archer (optional; from Saxons, or make it a mercenary unit for the other faction?)
Blacksmith (remove Technodrome? Rename to Smithy?)
>Technician (rename to Engineer?)
>>Ram (optional; from Greece/Saxons)
>>Catapult
>>Fire Ballista
>Siege Ballista (optional; from Norsemen)
>Mantlet (from Crusaders)

How about walls? Wooden, stone?

I would recommend scrapping the Tech Swordsman, or retexture the Foot Man from Crusaders.

Upgrades:
>Honour (from Castle; requires all four animals of the farm, allows Standard Bearer)
>Lordship (from Castle; requires Honour, allows Lord)
>Training Field (from Barracks)
>Blade Weapons (from Blacksmith)
>Piercing Weapons (from Blacksmith)
>Shield (from Blacksmith)
>Feathers (optional; from Blacksmith, requires Chicken; increase attack range for Archers/Horse Archers)
>Fire Arrows (from Blacksmith; allows Archers/Horse Archers to use fire arrows as a second attack)
>Chivalry (from Lord; allows Knights)
>Advanced Architecture (from Technician>Lord)
>Robotics>Siege Engineering (from Technician>Lord; for creating siege units)
>Medicine (optional; if made, from Lord; allows Technicians to heal units)

These are only optional.
I know it would be a lot of work (if anyone wants to), but please feel free to ask me to reduce the units/upgrades to save time.

Almost little to no remodeling needed (such as Saxon mounted archer replacing his arrows, and the Lord's shield), but a lot of retexturing

Update: I am currently testing this system myself, but wciow is trying to do retexturing and the like; so please stay tuned.

Update 2: The foot Knight unit (renamed as "Paladin") I have currently is based on the Prax Armored Axeman and the Palace Guard texture from Magitech-refit (please give credit to atze and Archmage for the model/texture, respectively), there will be three kinds of Knights: this one (with the axe); sword, promoted from Guard (replacing the current promotion to axe knight, will be called "Knight"); and on horseback (morphed from Horseman, will be called "Horse Knight"/"Champion"). How about caparisons, horse armour for Knights that requires more modeling?

I am also working on another faction (also medieval-based) that involves Peasant revolts; expect mobs, women warriors, mercenaries, and lots of food and upgrades (that's right! meat and wheat, windmills, et cetera).

(Thanks, Omega! I created an account with the same name.)

Click spoiler for old post.

(click to show/hide)

And here are the early screenshots!

(https://docs.megaglest.org/images/2/24/Mediaevalalpha1.jpg)
The Knights are actually retextured Palace Guards (Magitech-refit) with the Guard model, while the Paladins are also retextured Palace Guards with the Armoured Axemen from Prax, please give credit to Archmage and atze for the texture and the model, respectively.
Also, the Peasants, Mantlets, and the Lord are from Crusaders, the Banner Guards (and tents) from Prax, and don't forget the Spearmen, they are also from Magitech-refit.

Suggested retexturing request(s): knights' armour (appear plated or with heraldry), technicians (remove goggles?), the mantlets (and their shieldbearers), banner guards' armour (too team-colored)...
Suggested remodeling request(s): Lord's shield, the banner guard's banner reworking (should be longer)...

(https://docs.megaglest.org/images/1/1a/Mediaevalalpha2.png)
As I said, I may have to scrap the Swordsman, if you see its attack model, there is part of the his hand appearing on his shield (did anyone else notice that?).
I may omit the horse archer as well, (the horse is from Indians, archer from Saxons) probably because of the arrows.
Thanks atze, for the horsemen statues (you can't see the rest of it in the picture)!

Suggested retexturing request(s): None here.
Suggested remodeling request(s): Aside from the Lord's shield, only the horse archer's arrows, different from the normal archers.

Expect more edits/screenshots!
If I missed any credit, please tell me!

For less "teamcolor" , I suggest  take the texture from spearmen or swordman, for the standard-bearer.

Hagekura-san, I will request this thread to be moved to Mods when the time comes.

atze, I've already seen the picture of the banner guard with the swordsman texture in your Prax mod, there's a green side of the banner.

I have edited the updated faction tree above so you can see the summary of the units/upgrades to be implemented.

Edit: That's unexpected, this thread moved to the Mods section. No "orders" were executed, though. Back to developing...

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (new medieval mod -- Omega is great)
Post by: Omega on 26 January 2015, 04:33:52

I moved the thread to the mods board, since I don't take orders from titles!

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (new medieval mod)
Post by: Carl the Great on 27 January 2015, 19:08:14

It's okay, this was once a request to create a medieval mod, but now with your advice, I am trying to make said mod for the future of this game.

The Feudal faction is almost done! I just need some help, such as new models (any working coded unit). I've been trying to find new models myself, but it has been years the older download links are not working.

For now, I am using placeholders:
Stable - Horsefarm (Indians), needs remodeling
Scout - Mounted Swordsman (Gauls)
Armed Peasant - Gladiator (Romans), remove shield and be retextured
Militia - Swordsman (Prax/Tech), suggest shield removed
Pikeman - Guard (Romans), suggest a Swordsman wielding Eliminator's Knight/Shadow Rider unit's weapon.
Crossbowman - Crossbowman (Imperial)
Trebuchet - Trebuchet (Crusaders)
Champion - Shadow Rider (Dark Knights)/Eliminator's Knight unit

Because of the placeholders, screenshots are probably going on hold; no, the unit appearances may not be medieval at all.

Edit: While wciow is working on the icons, I am going to make my own icons for the units for/as a test run. Expect to see the screenshot for some of the units.

Edit: ...and here they are:
https://docs.megaglest.org/images/5/54/Mediaevalicons.png
These unit icons are old. The latest icons I may try to attach will be here soon.

As I said, the Swordsman is going to be omitted at some point, and some will be revised as changes in many ways are implemented.

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (released alpha 1)
Post by: Carl the Great on 24 February 2015, 01:16:59

Apologies for double-posting, but I have released a link above to my working mod.

Not all units from the list are there, therefore any help/files to share is great (sorry, I can't model or texture).
If you have any questions/problems; post them here in this thread.

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (released alpha 1)
Post by: titi_son on 2 March 2015, 21:18:17

Carl your gold has a very high default-amount. This results in a bug for me. My gold spots have negative amount of gold. Why did you give the gold so much amount?
Well can't play like that. Maybe i will set the amount manually to a smaller number later. But the units i was able to see with my startup gold looked great :).

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (released alpha 1)
Post by: Carl the Great on 2 March 2015, 21:41:49

This mod is in the testing phase (default resources are at one trillion each), and you can edit the resource values to Megapack default if you like; I'll try doing so in the next release, this time at one million each.

Also, I have given most credit for the units based from other mods.

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (released alpha 1)
Post by: titi_son on 3 March 2015, 19:22:05

sry maybe i sounded a bit harsh  :angel:

One trillion gold does work, but you used more. this can't be handled in the code. You can only use values which fit into one integer.
Around 2.000.000.000 would be max
Yours is 1.000.000.000.000

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (released alpha 1)
Post by: Hagekura on 4 March 2015, 15:56:12

It's a solid faction. Looking forward to the progress of this mod.
BTW, shouldn't range of the crossbow longer or atleast same with the bow range?

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (released alpha 1)
Post by: Carl the Great on 4 March 2015, 17:32:30

The crossbow in real life was a different design from the composite bow the Archer has, it had to be shorter with the bow range. Know that the Crossbowman unit has more damage inflicted than the Archer, best used in defense situations.

I just released my second alpha, feel free to test it; or retexture some modes if you have time. I tried the Mantlet myself. Sorry for the double post below:

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (new medieval mod, released alpha 2)
Post by: Carl the Great on 14 March 2015, 04:23:28

Again, sorry for bumping...

Alpha 2 released!

Link on first post or here:

Code: [Select]

http://www.tinyupload.org/ymgm6t6mrd5
Changes:
~Changed Champion placeholders: Tribune (Romans) and Silver Helm Lancer (Elves), can now attack with an actual sword and lance; Champion armour from Metal to Leather (for barding, note of placeholders has the Roman scale caparison texture, if anyone helps to retexture, great)
~The Horse Archer placeholder is now the Reaver (Elves)
~Changed Iron Horses upgrade from Blacksmith to Barding in Guild, required for the Champion
~Testing resources are reduced to 1 million per resource tile instead of the original 1 trillion (one game probably caused a bug, see titi_son's post).
~Spearman can now adopt the Shield Wall formation, increases defense of nearby Spearmen
~Changed Fire Arrow particles from Indian Fire Archer to Ornihopter/Ballista
~Catapult has now two more attacks: Stone (high damage, low splash) and Barrel (weak damage, large splash)
~Stakes! Archers can now place stakes, which is useful for instantly killing cavalry. Remember that some siege engines can crush them. I added a manual override command so you can let your cavalry pass without incident. At this time, stakes are only held for 600 seconds because of a glitch that you cannot remove them physically. Try it.
~The Guild has now a Market upgrade which will allow you to trade resources.

(click to show/hide)

Note for the upcoming Peasants faction, you will able to barter resources without selling or buying them first with gold.

~Replaced many icons with medieval themed ones (upgrades), and for the units, better view.
~Removed the Swordsman from the Barracks, only Militia can be morphed into this as upgrade
~Battering ram, courtesy of Madmanntis's Fallen Elder
~Retextured Mantlet

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (new medieval mod, Alpha 3 release)
Post by: Carl the Great on 11 May 2015, 19:22:43

Alpha 3 has been released!
The download link is on the starting post or here:

Code: [Select]

http://www.tinyupload.org/jg9psgv9lmx
Additions/Changes:
~Pikeman unit added, placeholder is the Chinese halberdier or Ji Bing (The Great Ming)
~As Yeomen can morph into Militia during building/repairing (for CPU's), temporarily removing the morph to Militia command.
~Swordsman can now be again recruited from the Barracks (temporarily)
~Changed "Jousting Arena" to "Quintains", requirement for Champion to use lances; jousting is more extreme than quintains, this is to greatly reduce the pricing of upgrade.
~You can now hire Knights and Paladins in the castle, provided you have the Chivalry upgrade.
~Retextured the barding and lance for the Champion unit, currently the texture image does not support transparent teamcolor.
~Retextured the Crossbowman and the Pikeman, will look probably medieval now.
~Retextured the Lord and Mantlet, crosses removed, Lord's shield, and Mantlet's wood (from atze's market model).

(click to show/hide)

Future releases:
New unit, Handgunner, placeholder is the Huo Qiang from The Great Ming faction, requires the Gunpowder upgrade
>The Handgunner unit is a cover unit, has good damage and small splash but has slow reload, strategy is to let them retreat after they fire
Market unit for Feudal Faction, separated from Guild
Removing the "Beddings" upgrade, all barracks will now heal any allied military unit over time inside it/them. Also, guilds can now heal any kind of allied unit inside them
A new Lord ability: Trebuchet, fires a projectile within the Lord's sight

Hello everyone,

My imagination has urged me to make a new techtree plan for the Medieval modification.
Here is the blueprint (will be edited):

Units:
>Peasant - worker unit
>Herbalist - healer unit
>Soldier - armed with a spear (range 2, lower damage) and axe (range 1, higher damage)
>Pikeman - armed with a pike, can attack at range 3, effective against cavalry
>Longbowman - ranged unit, also armed with dagger in case of melee
>Yeoman - can be morphed from Longbowman, also armed with a sword
>Crossbowman - ranged unit, lower range than Longbowman, also armed with dagger
>Pavise Crossbowman - slower, but more armour, has the ability to deploy to add more defence.
>Knight - elite unit
>Captain - armed with a battleaxe and shield on his back
>Knight Crossbowman - heavily armoured
>Squire - basic cavalry unit, armed with a sword

>>Ballista - deals high damage to a single unit
>>Bombard - static unit, a powerful cannon effective against groups of units and large ones
>>Mantlet - meatshield siege unit

Buildings:
>Estate - base
>Barracks - summons basic units
>Guild - summons specialist units, center for upgrades
>Castle - summons elite units
>Stable - hires cavalry
>Drop-off point - secondary storage unit
>Watchtower - defensive unit

Faction II: Peasants
Units:
>Peasant - worker unit

Post by: -Archmage- on 2 June 2016, 07:02:03

I had some fun trying your mod, but I have a few issues with it.

1) The AI only gets like 1/3 of the way through the tech tree, making it incredibly easy to win against the computer.
2) It feels too much like Tech, the buildings are built in the same order, most of the infantry is familiar.

I suggest creating a more realistic progression. Barracks should be late-game, a professional standing army is really a final stage of power. The stronger infantry all feels about the same to me, the paladin and the foreign knight are basically identical for example. Making each unit more unique will make the gameplay much more interesting.

3) The Lord's guard spawning is quite OP, I was able to create a horde of his guards pretty quickly.

It's also pretty cool to see my old unit mods being used again. 8)

It's good to be back, Archmage, "your old unit mods" only mention the Spearman and the Paladin (Guard with axe).

As you can see, aside from making a new techtree plan, for this modification this is a good time to try to greatly revise my Alpha 4 (there will be no more gunpowder, this is for another modification perhaps to remain in medievality). My modifications skills are slightly unbalanced, that is why some tips are of good help. Do you still have your "knight with two-handed sword" (just wondering)?

No, I never finished the animations and it didn't look very nice anyway.

Good luck with the next Alpha!

Here's the plan for Alpha 4 (everyone ignore the starting thread for now):

Code: [Select]

Units
>Food-producing animals
>>Chicken
>>Pig
>>Cow
>Worker units
>>Peasant
>>Laborer
>>Engineer
>Basic units
>>Armed Peasant
>>Militia
>>Spearman
>>Archer
>>Scout
>Advanced units
>>Pikeman
>>Yeoman (archer)
>>Crossbowman
>>Banner Guard
>>Horseman
>>Horse Archer
>Elite units
>>Knight
>>Paladin
>>Champion
>>Handgunner
>>Lord
>Siege
>>Mantlet
>>Battering Ram
>>Catapult
>>Ballista
>>Bombard

Buildings
>Castle
>Farm
>Blacksmith
>Barracks
>Stable
>Tent
>Guild
>Watchtower
>Defense Tower
>Cauldron
>Moat
>Stake

Upgrades
>Blacksmith
>>Swords
>>Polearms
>>Metal Shields
>>Chain Armor
>>Plate Armor
>>Casting (allows Cauldron)
>>Barding
>>Gunpowder
>Barracks
>>Training
>>Advanced Tactics
>>Fire Arrows
>>Stakes
>Guild
>>Fletchers (allows Crossbowman and Yeoman)
>>Medicine
>>Siege Engineering
>>Advanced Architecture
>>Banners
>>Caparisons
>>Quintains
>>Market
>Cauldron
>>Oil
>>Moats
>Lord
>>Chivalry
>>Military Charter

There will be a re-haul of the Upgrades: some units will now require upgrades to train instead of upgrades boosting your units' statistics.
Any reductions? Will try to reduce units first.

---
Next Alpha:
There will be no more Rabbits and Deer, which would've been required for an upgrade to allow your Lord to join in the battle. The Chicken will still be used for an upgrade though.

The Armed Peasant and Militia will be about the same with the Daemon and Swordsman. The Guard/Man-at-Arms will be replaced by the Knight, the Paladin would be about 25% more health than the Knight.

The old Yeoman unit is renamed to "Laborer", while the actual Yeoman is a heavier version of the Archer.

There might be a "Moat" which your Peasants can dig, which slows down all units by 50% and decreases their armour by about 10%-25%.

The Ballista will be like the Norse "Crossbow", no longer static, but will deal some heavy damage to a single unit.
 
Gunpowder will be one of the late-game upgrades, which allows unlocking of the Handgunner (small splash, slow reload) and the Bombard (cannon, can also be morphed from the Catapult and Ballista).
---
Future plans:
If there are models available, the Pikeman will be able to attack at range 3 (like the Japanese Nagae/Ming Wolfspear, to easily pick off the cavalry), and the Paladin may replace its weapons with a halberd or two-handed war axe to be able to attack attack at range 2.

The Scout and Horse Archer may be merged into one unit probably, with a melee sword attack and a secondary bow attack.

The votes for the "Honour Guard", 2 YES's and 1 Maybe, the unit will be considered an elite cavalry with metal barding, can be morphed from Paladin/Champion or recruited from the Stable with the necessary upgrades.

There might be a change in the attack and armor names.

(there are more edits to come)

Any progress? As someone who doesn't care much for steampunk goofiness, I'm pretty interested in where this is going.

Post by: Carl the Great on 25 June 2016, 19:12:18

Yes, Archmage, thanks for replying; it's almost done! In a few days or weeks, will upload the Alpha 4 after doing multiple fixes and tests. Everyone's welcome to help me in any kind (any unused G3D models or related).

---
Faction tree for Alpha 4: https://docs.megaglest.org/images/9/95/Feudaltree.png
Alpha 4 changes:
Four new units:
*Armed Peasant, morphed from the peasant, but can be recruited from the Farm for now, has almost the same statistics as the Daemon.
*Yeoman archer, supposed to be like the Longbowmen of medieval England, used an old Crusaders archer model as placeholder
*Handgunner, an early firearm and late-game unit, model from one Mr War's Great Ming faction units as a placeholder.
*Bombard, an early cannon and another late-game unit, model placeholder also from Great Ming.
Upgrades re-haul, units now require some upgrades to recruit.
A new structure, Cauldron, used for some oil-related assets.
No more beddings, Barracks can now heal military units inside them when inactive; the Guild can heal all units inside them even when doing an upgrade.
New defenses for Watchtower and Defense tower: alongside the normal Arrow, Fire Arrows and Handgun; the Defense Tower also has Boiling Oil, effective for melee units.
Renamed "Yeoman" worker to "Laborer". (In the future, the Laborer and Engineer might be merged into a single unit)
The Militia unit is back, the damage is the same as the Tech Guard, can now promote to Knight.
No more monks, Engineers can already heal units with the Medicine upgrade.
Man-at-arms (Guard) and Swordsman are removed for now.
Statue is removed, for now.
New ability for the Lord, Trebuchet, a 15-range attack like the Catapult, used as placeholder for a future Trebuchet unit
The Battering Ram is now made from the Engineer instead of made from the Tent, for AI spacing issues.
The Ballista is now movable and multi-commandable, currently the Tech Ballista is a placeholder (The siege ballista should be like the Norse Crossbow).
The Ram, Catapult, and Ballista can now morph into the Bombard if you have the upgrades, but you can also buy one from the Tent
Some of the upgrades no longer use the Tech images.
And other bonuses (please reply if you can see them)!

(click to show/hide)

Forget my previous posts about a new techtree! Some new future long-term plans:
"Feudal" faction will be based on medieval England (why's there a Yeoman archer, a Lord), will have some reductions on units to prepare for the upcoming factions,
...upcoming factions like:

(click to show/hide)

*"Kingdom" - based on medieval and early modern France (the Champion and Honour Guards are such examples)
*"Late" - based on Central Europe (handgunners and pavise crossbowmen)
*"Church" - lots specialty units and boosts (the Monk)
...and some smaller factions:
*"Peasants" - peasants in a town revolting (armed peasant with "pitchfork")
*"Wolves" - a pack of wolves
*"Outlaws" - a small camp of outlaws raiding

Again, if anyone has any G3D models or advice to help out in this modification in the long-run, they're welcome.

I like the detail going into this mod, but make sure that you make each unit play/feel a little differently.

Long-term advice: Learn Blender. Seriously, just do it.

Thanks, Archmage, will try to make every unit a difference in future releases. Unit reductions, expansions, difference in statistics, for example.

Yes, that's one of the expected outcomes in my intuition, the models in this modification are based on other modifications, either retextured or not. Using a modeling program adds more pressure and time, no offense, got other things to do in the net. Do not worry, you are not obligated to create models for this unless you want to help.

Also, release link of Alpha 4 is in the top thread, or here: http://tempsend.com/D95679B0C9

Hosted Alpha 4 on my Google Drive. No need to use time-limited websites.  :D

Much better download speeds as well. Tempshare was giving me a pretty slow download. :|

This modification is somehow unbalanced, it's still an early Alpha, for example: the Militia unit has the damage of the Tech Guard and the health of a Tech Worker, while the Armed Peasant unit has the damage and speed of a Daemon while keeping it's 500 health of it's Peasant brethren. Some are only slightly modified Tech units.

In other words, yes, meant for itself. If you can, you can try to add links to Megapack factions, probably have much of the damage/armour names in this developing techtree. Trying to keep this techtree as historically medieval as possible.

Hey dude...I have downloaded ur faction I can tell by the pics that u've made that is pretty cool good job'n'all BUT!...
You'r faction doesn't work! like I am trying to load it and it says that something is wrong with the Banned guard.
Attack type not valid:none. this one... I cant fix it myself I dont know how u guys are even creating theese factions,which programs are u using'n'stuff...
If I am doing something wrong please reply to this message cuz there is a high chance of that being the case.Sorry if my english is imperfect :D

That's odd! The "none" attack-type is in the mediaeval.xml. Try replacing the <attack-types> string with this if it works:

Code: [Select]

<attack-types>
<attack-type name="slashing"/>
<attack-type name="piercing"/>
<attack-type name="blunt"/>
<attack-type name="impact"/>
<attack-type name="energy"/>

I get an error. It says that something is wrong with the battering ram.xml file something with ''invalid closing message'' something like that. I've tryed to put the faction in my megaglest folder so I can play it with the other factions.Becouse I am kinda bored with just 1 faction :L.

Can you please copy the code of battering_ram.xml, so a fix may be made? My modification files are in my old laptop and I need some time to transfer them to my new one. My laptop kind of broke down, so I can't get the files unless it is repaired or my hard drive has an enclosing.

I should have typed to Archmage to change my the .7z file into a .zip to make it more easier.

Heyaa I opened the battering_ram.xml and it didn't like show up its like it was empty.But the I opened it with notepad and the code was there this happens only with the battering_ram.xml.I checked other troop's xml's and all of them were showing codes'n'stats everything was fine.Somethings wrong with the B-ram.

Title: Re: Low Tech/Feudal (new medieval mod, Alpha 4 release)
Post by: Carl the Great on 6 May 2017, 01:23:42

Glad you like my modification. I didn't know something was wrong with using .7z, thought the battering ram's .xml did not have any problems. Maybe the compression?

Edit:
After releasing Alpha 5 (this will be my last), my plan is to make faction(s) without any gunpowder (much as possible), to make it as historically close to 12-13th-century.

Code: [Select]

First faction, based on England:

Castle
>Laborer, Foot Squire, Foot Knight, Lord
Farm
>Farmer, Peasant, Armed Peasant, Hunter, Animals?
Blacksmith
>Upgrades
Barracks
>Spearman, Poleman, Pikeman, Man at Arms, Captain, Bowman/Yeoman, Crossbowman
Stable
>Scout, Squire, Lancer, Knight, Lord
Market
>Trading, Highlander?, Upgrades
Guildhouse
>Upgrades, Herbalist
Storehouse
>Storage, trading
Tent
>Engineer, Mantlet
>>Engineer can morph into: Ballista, Catapult, Ram, Trebuchet?

Upgrades:
Archery, Architecture, Caparisons, Chainmail, Charter, Chivalry, Crossbows, Destriers, Feudalism?,
Fire Arrows, Herbs, Hobbies, Maces, Medicine, Mercenaries?, Oil, Pikes, Plate Armour, Polearms, Retainers, Rounceys,
Siege Engineering, Stakes, Swords, Tactics, Trade, and Training
