I don't know what you refer to when you speak about MP savegame features, because so far there is only one MP savegame feature on the table, which is picking a savegame, starting a host, and then running that match.

Yes it does, amongst hundreds of other files.
grep -r decal_struct_wall_med didn't yield any results either.

Changes in collada do not matter :) It's just best to avoid them when there is no reason :)

Blame arcanist; I have no idea what those .dae files are, I didn't even open them.

Nescio added a comment to D2585: [gameplay] Cavalry archer speed adjustment.

Initially, I did 0.90 but then they were slower than Heavy Skirmishers, which didn't feel too correct. When I tried 0.95 (in a single-player test environment) I didn't feel like the change was significant enough. So 0.92 was a nice middle ground.

Then why not lower heavy skirmisher speed? Or raise cavalry javelinist speed? (Again, just curious.)
By the way, this makes elephant archers slower, since they have the horse archer as their parent. Also, keep in mind there are two cavalry speed technologies (+10% each), from which elephantry and infantry don't benefit.

Jan 20 2020, 9:39 PM
ValihrAnt added a comment to D2585: [gameplay] Cavalry archer speed adjustment.

Out of curiosity, why exactly 0.92, not 0.95, 0.90, or 0.85?

(I guess it takes a bit of time, but it wouldn't hurt to document the test sample (i.e. approximate number of matches, list of participating players who may be considered either capable of judging or capable of playing representatively for competitive players. If its easier, one could also just upload replays and perhaps a link to the mod. The purpose of the list of test participant would allow (1) the reviewers to determine in how far the patch was tested and (2) later consumers of the patches (a24 players and devs) to find identify which players were capable of judging, or what might have gone wrong or right in case it was a fail or success.)

Changing just speed is my idea. Christmas wanted the changes to include a reduction to speed and range, but an increase to dmg. badosu suggested having a small (0.3 to 0.5) damage increase to make up for the reduced speed. Then lastly I have Boudica and Stockfish agreeing with how they are nerfed.
Test match wise I have participated in 8 matches were cavalry archers were used. Though, the matches were spread across the mod versions, which I only have the last one on hand. 2 of the matches had cavalry archers as the main army, in the others they were used for rushing.

Could this make skirmisher cavalry rushes too strong?

I don't see how this makes skirmisher cavalry rushes any stronger. Previously skirm cav struggled to get even 1 hit off on camels running away, now they should be able to fire off at least one shot. Still, when the camels are back at home they will simply be laying suppressive fire from the safety of the CC due to their vastly superior range.

Nescio added a comment to D2568: [gui] remove empty space between logo and buttons.

Perhaps it would look best if the space between the top of the window and the product logo, between the product logo and the mainmenu buttons, and between the main menu buttons and the top of the project info box, and the bottom of the project info box and the bottom of the window would be divided uniformly?

This is what you meant, right?


I still think sticking with top-down and bottom-up looks better.

Nescio added a comment to D2586: delete duplicate and deprecated unit icons.

Personally I think icons ought to match the actor. The ptol archer uses the mace actor, which looks the same as the athen actor, so it would make sense for all three to use the same icon.
Both brit and gaul slinger deserve a new icon, I believe their actors were separated and updated last year.

Jan 20 2020, 5:37 PM
Nescio added a comment to D2568: [gui] remove empty space between logo and buttons.

Regardless of the implementation, the productLogo would need to be moved to a different parent object.

Do you mean the 0 A.D. at the top or the Wildfire Games at the bottom?

One could make a mockup with different size numbers and then decide if it looks better or not (for 3840×2160).
Actually another possibility would be to use percent numbers. So perhaps one can use something like 10% +/- offset for the product logo, so that its not aligned at the utter top for large resolutions, only for small ones. (Its quite boring to compute / implement, so I guess one can also argue with the best implementation being too boring to implement and this one being the best one that is feasible given motivation.)

(The idea was actually to improve things for 1280×720; if it works for a small screen, it typically works for a higher resolution as well; the reverse is not true; anyway, I'll do some tinkering with the numbers and see what I can get.)
