Assault Command MOD v3

[SnEptUne]

I really like this mod, which is using the model for Annex.

I updated the mod so that it can match against the east_vs_mega.  I removed oil (and switch back to gold/wood/stone), change the armour type, added warehouse, factory, troop_crawler, and balance the hp/damage etc... so that it will have proper match against the other faction.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the AI to work.  It won't build more advanced units.

Im glad you like,

For your Ai issue, it probably has to do with the fact that infantry generally acts as both workers and warriors. Which the AI struggles with, especially with multiple resource types.

[SnEptUne]

Perhaps, but the AI can farm the gold/stone/wood just fine.  It just seems to allocate the wrong number (e.g. it assigns always all worker to wood, the rest to stone, but only 2 to gold).  As a result, the AI is too weak to do anything due to this farming ratio, is there a setting to force more worker to farm for gold instead of wood?

Thank you. Glad you like it!

Yea scorpions are great for mobile defense as you push toward the enemy camp. Maybe a little OP

Is it ok when I put this in the game internal mod center ?
( ok it was a dumb question, as it is already in mod center. Maybe I need to update it )

titi the version in the mod center is the same as the the current git, so you're all up to date.

To all: unrelated, here's a video of a game I recorded today.

Ishmaru did a major update recently and I packaged the latest version available.

You're welcome! Thanks for the all the work you've done on this. I see from the stats that titi and jammy played it today. I'll probably get to it tomorrow.

I've been trying to figure out some good method for testing and releasing. I see you've done another update today.

The best thing for testing is for us to be able to play from the git version. It might be good to get some feedback first from titi about this, but renaming assault_command.xml to assault-command_git or _testing might be the best long-term solution. There is already "assault_command" in the mod center. Probably in the future, all mods should be versioned when being released in the mod center to prevent version conflicts.

We've been play-testing the Greeks a lot lately, using the "-testing" format, so any time a change is made, we can immediately pull the latest changes and try it out. Every so often I do a release, changing the directory and xml filename at the time of the release and creating the 7z package for it.

Yea that's a good idea. That last update was adding something I had forgotten in previous release, and I do have other ideas for updating units as well. Next build ill rename the directory and xml to have git in the name.

On Linux, me and Jammy were able to just create a couple symlinks

I feel like there's a lot of extra micro-managing because so many units use EP to attack. It's fun though, but probably something I wouldn't play very often.

Many EP units only have enough EP for one shot, and the EP is more for simulating a unit reloading, and to allow for a unit to move while 'Reloading'. But there is a lot of secondary abilities, boosts, transforms, and effects so I get it.

But mastering the micro isn't absolutely necessary to play. There are still plenty of standard units for one to brute force their way. This is especially true for the VISOR faction.

PS I finally updated the techtree diagrams:

Oh, good to know! I plan on playing it and learning it more very soon.

Ok Command Assault v 3.0 Is out.

Feel free to add this to Mod Center. If you do let me know so I can make sure i instruct everyone to use that one to download.

Changes:

- New Faction - Union - Airpower focused, limited variety of ground forces. They are dependent on slower means of gathering and building warehouses to add resource drop points. No Commando or superweapon ATM.


Balance changes:

- Visor Harvesters no longer return to base to process resources, however rehouse gathering rate decreased. Infantry can also drop resources to Harvesters.

- Bunker Crusher stats increased.

- Changes so there is more consistency with max resource cap across all factions. +5000 limit per HQ. Additional drop points only grant +1

- Atlus WASPs lower stats and increased cost.

- Other minor adjustments.

V3 is in the ingame modcenter now. THIS VERSION IS NOT COMPATIBLE with original V3 ishmaru did!

But for playing its the same,

 It's a lot smaller because I removed/edited:
- removed all unneeded files
- converted all textures to png ( before many huge TGA )
- fixed upcase problems so it works for linux too out of the box

So please use the one from ingame.
