However we should only begin to make AI compatible with Amazons after they are somewhat stable, as we did with frisians. As Amazons are very different in comparison to other tribes Iwe need to think about proper setting of the Ai hints for the buildings anyway. But this is still very far away. For the treetop sentry we could allow the AI to build it togther with the tree (Ai could use that bit of cheat as it cheats in other regions anyway) We could also tell AI to not build treetop sentries. Shouldn't make much difference. Top Quote

Done. I also fixed the gold cost of training sites and the stone bowl for miners. I have decided to leave forester and rare trees planter as separate buildings, because i didn't want the wood economy to become completely interchangeable to the point that one can promote all buildings.

Shouldn't make much difference. Can be, but it will be big disadvantage for AI when expanding an territory. F.e. when crossing big forested areas... By the way, treetop building will still need a road to it, so you cannot build them in unconnetable terrain like dense forest... Top Quote

I wouldn't call it a big disadvantage. how many maps are there where you have to cross a forest that's just dense enough that you can make roads through it, but not buildings? I see the main advantage as reduced time and buildcost more than anything else. By the way, treetop building will still need a road to it, so you cannot build them in unconnetable terrain like dense forest... yes. I wanted them to be an advantage, but not too strong. Top Quote

The cahrcoal burner delivers 3 wood on dismantle while needing only 2 to construct. that is illogical andI chnaged that to returning 2 stone 1 wood. 2. currently the ropeweaver has no tool requirment. I would like to have a liana cutter in that building to make the ropes. 3. I would change the gold cost of the training sites to 2 gld for the medium building and 3 gold to the big one. 4. Currently a recruit costs 1 cassava and 1 meat/fish and 1 rope and 1 rubber and 1 ironwood. I think we should skip cassava here for 2 reasons: cassav can't be eaten without beeing leached and it might be too expensive. 5. As the ships shall be canoe like we could make them cheaper perhaps with only half the capacity of the other tribes ships. I am planning to finish my work tonight and give the whole thing a try with Nordfrieses Branch Edited: 2019-08-27, 09:25 UTC+2.0 Top Quote

I would like to have a liana cutter in that building to make the ropes. why would making ropes require a machete? I would change the gold cost of the training sites to 2 gld for the medium building and 3 gold to the big one. that way, if amazonians get 4 starting gold like everyone else, they won't be able to make all their training sites without a gold mine. atlanteans can. i don't see a reason for that nerf until some playtesting is done Currently a recruit costs 1 cassava and 1 meat/fish and 1 rope and 1 rubber and 1 ironwood. I think we should skip cassava here for 2 reasons: cassav can't be eaten without beeing leached and it might be too expensive. it's cassava bread (i may have typoed this one too), and I included it for a specific reason: any other tribe requires metal to make a soldier. amazonians don't. with the exception of barbarian, all other tribes require some farm produce to make a new soldier, so I saw fit to include one As the ships shall be canoe like we could make them cheaper perhaps with only half the capacity of the other tribes ships. if that won't mess up with making an expedition, why not? I am planning to finish my work tonight and give the whole thing a try with Nordfrieses Branch will you make it available? I am curious to try my creature Edited: 2019-08-27, 13:50 UTC+2.0 Top Quote

I would like to have a liana cutter in that building to make the ropes. why would making ropes require a machete? to cut them to the corecct length and to make splices. I would change the gold cost of the training sites to 2 gld for the medium building and 3 gold to the big one. that way, if amazonians get 4 starting gold like everyone else, they won't be able to make all their training sites without a gold mine. atlanteans can. i don't see a reason for that nerf until some playtesting is done oops sorry I meant 1 and 3 typo from my side.

As the ships shall be canoe like we could make them cheaper perhaps with only half the capacity of the other tribes ships. if that won't mess up with making an expedition, why not? Ok I'll make it fit to exactly one expedition and adopt the buildcosts acccordingly ( we could decide after playtest then) I am planning to finish my work tonight and give the whole thing a try with Nordfrieses Branch will you make it available? I am curious to try my creature as soon as I am sure it works without scripting errors ( which is not probable for tonight but we will see) Top Quote

Worth noting that 90% of the times a boat isn't required to carry many wares, so having many more boats with less cargo capacity is an advantage. To avoid this, I made a small change in cost, so it won't be a balance problem in the game Edited: 2019-08-27, 20:42 UTC+2.0 Top Quote

I would vote to have the same ship capacity as all other tribes. How about making the amazon "ship" look like a fleet of ~4 canoes? Top Quote
