OK, now when I've done with some tests with critters, it's time to plan some actual balancing.

Here's a table of current resources and their prices.



And a critical hit table for different weapons.

I would like to get your opinion on these.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

my opinion is

[Deon]

Nothing more specific? I tried to make weapons different through various critical hits and chance.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

and i'm doing a similar thing for my project's battle system, and you just made my homework for me

Maaan, if you make attachments, it's great news!

Meanwhile, I rescaled some shields and weapons to fit your model. It was especially hard for those models with multiple geonodes.

If you want I can upload them for you once I get more. For now I have 2 shields, 2 axes, spear, pickaxe and a club.

P.S.

Also, a use of bedrooms in the new "crippling" system. To get rid of cripplings you have to use splints for broken limbs and bandages for cuts/stabs, and you have to be in your bedroom, and it takes some real amount of time (like 20 sec or more).

But a field medic profession will allow you to use these items on others while being anywhere.

More about professions later, I plan profession-trees (i.e. peasant -> hunter -> scout/ranger; scout leads to agent or assassin; ranger leads to woodsman or beastmaster etc.).

nah, i dont need the attachements, i want to make my own to keep the aesthetics coherent, i'm sorry i cant help more activelly, but i'm up to my neck in schoolwork and my other projects, but i'm taking a detour to make dwarvenly armour and resize it to fit this model...it'll also need a beard

also, you using oinkerwinkles' fer yer modelling first needs? search for the russian program "mdlvis", the russian version is better than the english one i'm using, and if i understand correctlly, you're russian, right? beware, it contains some anoying bugs, but it's one of the best programs arround

[Deon]

Thanks for the tip. I am buried in university work too, thus I don't have time to model too, but I spend most of my free time on this. To quickly modify items I use "VertexModify" utility.

P.S. Oh, and while we're here... I've suddenly started to have a weird problem: a health bar hovers FAR above your dwarf unit. Do you know what can cause it?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

i have no idea :\ possibly has to do with some kind of model data that i didn't know existed, will have to look it up

and mdlvis allows you to edit multiple geosets, for scaling it's great, 'ere http://xgm.ru/page/4235

Thank you!

Weapon table above looks nice, no adamintium (did I spell that right) though  It's also disapointing that there seems to be no weapon type for severed arms. Seems like this will be quite detailed combat anyway. Good luck to you with it 

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

Deon I cant help but find it strange that you seem to have a price value for steel ore, while there is no such thing as steel ore.
I think somebody got a little carried away. [:

[Deon]

what... lol. Thanks I didn't sleep a night before I made it in university during computer class, so yeah, I was carried away

It's also disapointing that there seems to be no weapon type for severed arms

I see, I will try to make severed arms to fit this table.
But I looked at it from a point of me being unable to hide model's bodyparts . And anyway it wouldn't be fun to play without an ability to carry a weapon (or impossible to craft) so you'd better die .

P.S. There's no bronze ore either .

P.P.S. And wood and bone should be swapped. I don't have wooden daggers or spears . Only wood club. I kinda screwed the table.

I found my WC3 serial keys, so I can play this now 

Can't wait for the finished build, looks so awesome.

[Deon]

I don't think it will ever be "finished", because I hope to constantly update it, but I can promise that it will take two or three weeks to turn it into a game.

Here're some tests of cameras (3rd person, chase camera, 1st person) and a preview of a simple interior I've made.

I've also changed the first post to reflect the progress and to make it more readable.
