Formation itself now can have bonuses using aura system.
Example is phalanx formation, when units are in this formation, they have +20% attack melee damage.
Fix when changing formations from D756 was necessary to apply, thank you temple.

Event TimelineComment Actions Currently some formations have a speed bonus (<SpeedMultiplier>1.25</SpeedMultiplier>) but it's kind of mysterious since it doesn't show in the individual units' stats, instead it's a property of the formation. So maybe that bonus should should be changed to an aura. Comment Actions There are ideas for particular values here (I'm not saying if they're good or not): Comment Actions Yes, but since they cannot fight as formation properly, it would be some kind of hack to give them more armour and attack bonuses now. Comment Actions Did you upload you fix for that somewhere @Angen ? Temple is in the team now so he will be able to commit it if it's good. :) Comment Actions No, I do not have solution for that, but this patch is about to be able to have + speed change is displayed in unit stats now. Comment Actions @temple I was thinking again and maybe you could commit it for only speed change using auras? Comment Actions Seems it was decided to hold off on this until formation attacks are mechanically practical (I agree, but wasn't sure if this still needed review), since it would be unfair if units can be physically spread apart, but still get formation bonuses. Linked in IRC discussion today: https://github.com/Yves-G/0ad/tree/BattalionSystem I messaged Yves to see where he's at on that git branch. If we don't hear back or he's unable to resume work, we can evaluate it as a WIP. |
