RladalFatih Hmm... There is some good ideas in this mod (like the splash dammages for trebuchets and bombard cannons), but the principal problem is that, in my lopinion, these changes unbalance the game. Age of Kingsd is still enough balanced like this.

I am curious, what exactly unbalances the game? And how it should be fixed?
Dave3377 "•Monk with relic can walk on water." --awsome, but I wouldn't call this realistic. lol.

Something interesting I read, a hand thrown spear though slow moving, can peirce a shield or chainmail better than a viking-age bow and arrow.

So maybe the skirmisher should have a longer reload time, greater attack, less accuracy, a lower bonus vs archers, make the javaline move slower.

This changes the whole purpose of the unit it makes it more realistic.

Make archers have an even quicker reload, less attack, but better accuracy.

Make crossbows more accuracte like the archer changes I suggest, make them cost less, but make the reload time much higher.

Just suggestions.

If you wish I can remove that "•Monk with relic can walk on water."

New changes?:
•Slices of Skirmishers archer/spearmen attack moved to base pierce attack. 2 and 3.
•Crossbow/Arbalest reload time 2 -> 3.5.
•War Wagons reload time 2.5 -> 3.5
•Spear Galleons reload time 3 -> 3.5.
•Longboats reload time 3 -> 2.
Damages balanced to reload times.
•Spear speed 7 -> 6.
•Wild Horse food amount 0 -> 400.
•Jaguar food amount 0 -> 100.
•Wolves food amount 0 -> 50.
•Crossbow accuracy 85 -> 95.
•Arbalest accuracy 90 -> 100.
•Skirmishers accuracy 90 -> 80 (95 by Thumb Ring?).
•Crossbow and Arbalest gold cost 45 -> 30.

Why longer reload time to Skirmishers?
Is it faster to load a hand cannon than a crossbow?
Dave3377 I was just thinking that skirmisher would have fewer spears to throw so they run out faster then archers but this can't be incorporated into the game, so use the reload time to balance it.

I still love the monks walking on water, there has to be some sort of religious/divine intervention-themed mod for it. Maybe one where certain civs regenerate while others are the "powerful forces of evil" or something. I love the idea though.
RladalFatih An example: the towers. If a fully upgraded tower can shoot three arrows at the same time, why a player should build castles that only throw four arrows, and that cost 5 times more stone? An other problem is with scorpions: if you give them a range of 10, and all the bonuses of blacksmith techs, they became, especially with Chineses, a too powerfull weapon.

Also, there is other examples, but I just want to explain a little bit what I said with changes that unbalance the game.

I can change Skirmisher reload time from 2.9 back to 3 if you wish. I don't see why it should be higher than that.

Keep is part of a castle and it's its most protected tower. You build castles because you can train units from them, and they have more attack and HP than towers.

New changes in version 1.2:
•[1.2]Scorpions range 7+1 -> 5+4.
•[1.2]War Wagons range 5+3 -> 5+4.
•[1.2]Turtle Ships range 6 -> 9.
•[1.2]Turtle Ships reload time 6 -> 3.5.
•[1.2]War Wagons reload time 2.5 -> 2.2.
Damages balanced to reload times.
•[1.2]Scorpion damage reduced for Blacksmith increasements.
•[1.2]Korean Singijeon tech affect to War Wagons instead of onagers.
•[1.2]Keep fires 2 arrows simultaneously.

"religious/divine intervention-themed mod" sounds cool.

Blueway Questions for authonr:

Are you a important person like one of game developers or you are just one guy with a cool ideea?

Which realistic-style imprivements you want to get? Real life like: chance of hitting, change or crrittical hit (1 blow-enemy down) or just the normal games thing: hp, medium Ap, medium range, so on...

Anyway, i advice you that at close distance archers should have 10& of fiering rate and 50%critical chance.

Also, fast units like spearman should have at far 70% dodgee chance, at medium distance 30% and close 10%

Slow units like man at arms should have 40% dodgee chance at far 10%at medium distance and 2% at very close.

those are my suggestions and have fun maing it. Ant when you will finish it ... it will be a pack like 1.0d or just a file?

I am just one guy with many ideas. So I am limited by the power of Advanged Genie Editor 1.7 and 2.0b.

I am hoping to have as realistic comparative ranges as possible. For example, in real life longbowmen can reach trebuchets attacking at their castle. So I probably should reduce trebuchet range even more.

Also somewhat realistic projectile speeds and arcs would be really nice. And realistic reload times.

Damages and armors should also be somewhat realistic at least compared to other units. For example, katanas do more damage than any other swords.

Too low hits to kill would make damage/armor techs unnecessary. I can't make any chance of hitting or dodging thing but cool ideas you have. All archers could have a minimum range of 0.5 or something. You can manually dodge by moving out of the way.

This is gonna be just a file(s).

Blueway Could you please add this at your pack :

In aoe if i have 30 archers in a group all of them are shooting in only one units. Could you do that 4 units shoot in 1 units so that in a 36 vs 36 4 units will shoot in 1... so 36 will shood in the same time at 9 units.

thanks.
