If I was King of KaM...

...and I made all the rules and choices and could just make things happen like *that*, I would have a RC with the following features/changes:

-> +15% (more of less) increase in attack for militia, axefighters, scouts (axes way too weak, can hardly kill bows from anywhere but rear(and even they they can suck))

-> Pikes and (especially) lances get an increase in their bonus against horses (maybe an extra 10%, 20% respectively)

-> Ability to send wares to your ally (via marketplace. I've already said how I would do it)

-> Rework of many trades in the marketplace, as well as how the marketplace works. For example, coal trade would be 3 coal -> 2 trunks (since 1 -> 1 is too strong and 2->1 is too weak), return of 1 sausage -> 1 timber, 1 fish -> 1 corn, 5 stone -> 1 coal (These trades were interesting and not abusable (on reasonable maps) Others....



But I'm not the king of KaM (how sad!) so I cannot make this happen. Instead, I'll just post them here so we can argue and bicker and have lots of KaM spam. Yay!
And as always, the Kamper always wins!
I used to spam this forum so much...

Taking advantage of the law of large numbers and of a little math, you can get a good approximation of these changes through Dynamic Scripting, which would allow to test them.

Re: If I was King of KaM...

I only want to say that I completely agree with the points of Ben.

I think that only philosophizing about these topics isn't enough.
It's nice to dream about these possibility's, but I think there is still a lot of room for improvements in the Remake.

So I want to ask Lewin and Krom wether it's possible to test some ideas which we are discussing about here?

I know you are very very busy with your new project Knights Province, which is absolutely amazing, but it would still be nice for us hardcore KaM fans, to see some new activity regarding the Remake.

I don't say this has to be done today or next week... But maybe we can start thinking about an idea of a new RC for new ideas and new developments.

Again don't feel pressured for this :D not at all!
It's just a silly post from a big KaM fan :)

Re: If I was King of KaM...

There are some edits and enhancements done already, there just need to be more interesting/big changes before a new release would be pushed. :P

If you can get a few players to use the attached unit.dat file. you can test these changes in multiplayer.

Remember to backup the original file, or you won't be able to play the unmodded multiplayer without going out of sync!

Re: If I was King of KaM...

Just in case anyone else cares, I've ran a little test to compare Ben's modifies vs the unmodified game.

Test setup:
Army 1: 30 Axe Fighters, 30 Crossbowmen
Army 2: 20 Sword Fighters, 45 Bowmen
Units split, no storming, let the ai manage both armies.

In the unmodifed game:
Army 1 won 122 out of 500 battles (24%).
Shortest/average/longest battle duration: 31/60/106 seconds.

With Ben's modifies:
Army 1 won 187 out of 500 battles (37%).
Shortest/average/longest battle duration: 35/62/107 seconds.
