Ok here you go enjoy. I would love to hear peoples ideas and more practical applications. I am working on getting the unit to sit on the very top of the tower now If it will work or not I do not know!.

I Think The One With The Woman Looks Best.

I got some questions that i would like you to answer:

1 Does it still look like that after you have started the game?
2 How did you do it? (Let me guess? move the villie into the castle?)

Probably Map Copy.

It still look's like that after the game is started.

Nice screens Philip!

and...how do do it??

Nice. Though I like the lower one better. Probably because you forgot rotate the top one.

wait..let me guess..

You create a castle..put a villager inside it. Then you remove the castle. After you do that, you put a new castle in it's place.

The villager garrisoned is hence..not removed, but "hanged" from the castle

what tricks with bridges?

and where's that utility?! 

Don't Worry Shiva I was not referring to your bridge trick.

The utility has been submitted twice but I believe it is because the person that takes care of the updating in that section is on vacation.

Let me think for a sec though what can be placed almost anywhere and units can stand on :-).

Bridges of course but how do you get a bridge up to the top of a castle that is the hard part.

Although I got the final result in the editor I had to test it a few times to get it that way.

As the bridge is placed by using the max elevation the bridge is map copied and then the elevation is lowered.

Then you must get the unit on it which is very difficult and if you don't do it right you get the colored line around it. It is complex and not as easy as I just explained like the farm trick. I used the same principle for my walk able mountains with some other things thrown in.

If you look in the editor there are some more clues as my selection was on move and delete in the two PICS.

You basically must layer bridges it takes practice and a great deal of patience.

Hey, Phil, try getting an archer on top of the biggest castle tower. Only pretty for Saracen-type Castles - but pretty indeed.

I will try hey idea Should have a new trick contest lol. :-P

* Points gun at Phil's head *

It has been enough.

Bah... all this is nothing compared with my latest discovery. I've discovered a previously unknown freeze object code, which works without triggers! Type "Philip Dunscombe" into your chat box, with the result that designers freeze in front of their screens, drow their jaws and say "how the heck did he do that?"

Try sticking a tower on the end of the Frank monastery - I thought it looked kind of cool if it was a guard tower/keep.
That and you can see an early example of this trick with a unit map copied inside the castle in Shadows' Shadowmind Episode IV.

LOL thank you Ingo I am trying to get people to start staying with AOK:TC.

I have also found a beta unit that looks exactly like you lol. When you click it, it displays the message "For My Next Trick I will rule the world.

ROFLOL @ Ingo

I am glad people are so much nicer then other forums I have visited makes me want to stick around alot more :-).

If you put an archer there or any of his partners, instead of villagers, it'll look like they're guarding the castle. It'll be good if you can put them at the castle balcony.

Andan

My point exactly.

wait though..was i right?

I put archers on the castles now :-)

Go to here for the pic!! :-)

WOAH!!! THAT...THAT..WHA..

*applause*

[w]we should really invent a new nick for ya. How's Trickmaster sound?[w]

Sure if ya want to call me that go for it :-) .

I have some more ideas but I would really like to hear some more.

Well, perhaps I'm not reading correctly, but the trick is that you're able to place a unit on top of a building?

Great that you guys are finding new tricks, just hope someone is actually making a scenario.

I am don't worry about that it is the cherubs dropping the ball I submitted a utility on other things I have discovered about 1 week and a half ago but yet I am still waiting I know its because spine is on vacation but I am doing the best I can.

I have a campaign in works called A Far Off Land it will be released soon.

If you are not sure what the castle trick involves look at the pic's it is the best way to see :-).

Every trick ever found has been used in a scenario I believe if it was any good and I would not mind in the least if some of mine ended up in other peoples scenarios before mine.

So far included in my campaign is this castle trick, My swimming trick and the new terrain. There are others I am going to let you find once you play it.

Trust me you don't have to worry about a lot of smart people in here finding a lot of different ways to exploit these things ;-).

If I included every trick I came up with the campaign would be something along the lines as Person climes over mountain, shoots from top of a castle, swims a river, and farms all that neat terrain. Tricks are one thing but the application of them is the hard part.

I emailed Spineman about your utility Philip to try to get the ball rolling so to speak and await a response.

Thank you BNC I hope it does get sorted out soon it does slow things down ....... )-:

Thanks Phillip for the links...those are some pretty cool tricks you discovered it sounds like, but I can't see any of the pics cause of Geocities bandwidth limits....Do you have them on any other sites?

Thanks for sharing...

BGAofK

As of Yet I don't but with all the complaints I guess I will move the pics errr.
