However, they are pointless vs buildings. See for instance Dark dwarf crossbows: you upgrade them with a very expensive research and they are amazing vs any unit (dragons and heroes included). A balanced game is also the one that makes all units necessary (warcraft 3, rise of nations, etc.) Just an opinion, but in the future, infantry and archers should not be able to destroy buildings like they do now (although much better than vanilla, that is for sure).

For now you don't need to build siege weapons or good units against buildings (races are not prepared for that), so you can just create hundreds of mino axe throwers and win. One of the issues that TPC currently has is building resistance. Of course they are very different than in wbc3: they are now strategic once more, like in WBC1, the original game. Their strategic position in TPC makes their extra damage vs BUILDINGS an issue, independently of the AI level you are playing against.įinal example: if you look carefully, since 0.8.5 catapults saw their damage dropped (in combat, against units) BUT they gained 3x extra damage vs buildings. So Earth elementals and rams are not designed for combat, but to avoid units and face towers and other buildings. They were Strategic units vs buildings in WBC1 and they were good - just like you have nuclear bombs in other games: strong vs buildings only. TPC and WBC3 are now much separated games, so this needs discussion: these units are STRATEGIC not regular infantry. This is extra damage vs buildings (not vs units) issue, as Joe also says, not an in-game difficulty problem. ani file for it, that is also a little tricky to understand and edit, be we have an official tool that can do that (not for public use, though), alternatively, you would have to work it out using a Hex editor - like what I did :)Ī battering ram has 10x damage vs buildings (not UNITS). (ABEX.bmp) You'll also see many other image files for it with the same name but ends with a lower case letter (ABEXw.bmp or ABEXi.bmp etc.) These are all found in Barbarians.XCR (It is the only non-converted unit in the game). See the Barbarian Warlord to find out how the game displays units and what image files are needed. Once you have a fully functioning model, it then needs to be rendering into a sprite sequence. (Although I hope to get back into 3D modeling at some point). So far the only new avatars in The Protectors have been recolours as a result. The source code is required, unless you are referring to making new models for The Protectors, in which case you only need the art work and Patrick will do the rest.īut modelling is the tricky part of it all.
