Re: Era of Magic (EoMa) - new version coming soon!

Post by inferno8 »

It is time for another piece of information about the upcoming EoMa 2.0. Together with ForestDragon we expanded the concept of Drone upgrades even further by adding 3 new upgrades and additional AMLAs. Fully upgraded drone not only turns into a destroyer of worlds but also has functionality of most modern smartphones, portable furnace included! :shock: :lol: (ok, I was joking with those smartphones, but the furnace is really there :lol: ). The portable furnace mounted on a drone grants him the 'heat aura' ability - a new addition to the 2.0, made initially for Fire Elementals. That upgrade is obtainable only by having a mechanical dragon nearby. The other new upgrades are: berserker ai module (granting the drone a new berserker melee attack) and damage rune (granting additional magical ranged attack).

To sum up here are some interesting facts about the drone:
1.a fully upgraded drone has 4 extra attacks (5 in total)
2.the drone is the second unit with the kamikaze attack.
3.the drone is the only unit in EoMA with custom AMLAs

These AMLAS are varied. Here is the list of per advance improvements:
- +1 melee strike
- +1 melee damage
- +1 movepoints
- auto-repair+6
- hit and run 1
- +5 max hp

And for those who want pictures, this is the picture (to the left a basic drone, to the right a fully upgraded drone with the portable furnace).

Also, it is worth to mention that all Matriarchs from Tharis faction got many improvements. The Cold Matriarch's cold aura ability not only affects resistances of adjacent units but:
-turns water into ice in close proximity
-deals some cold damage to adjacent enemy units
-slows water elementals.
Thanks to these additions, the Cold Matriarch can be truly considered the Frost Lady.
The Matriarch of Emptiness has been updated as well. Not only her magic absorber ability negates all magic around her, but she is able to use her strange red orb of unknown origin to shoot powerful anti-magical shield-breaking red laser straight onto foolish enemies who dare to stand in her way!
Also, the Matriarch of Darkness received many improvements regarding her stats as well as she has got a new animation for her blood gate special attack.

Also, the concept of zombies has been widely expanded. Some of you may not know this, but EoMa has its own plague system, which was designed to be used specifically with era's units. Normally when unit dies from a weapon with plague special it is replaced by a walking corpse of enemy's side. But in Era of Magic 2.0 all these zombies will have many different attacks and weapon specials, just like their living variants have. For example, when a Child of Light (an angel-like unit from Kharos faction) becomes a victim of plague, she turns into a black fallen angel, who can emit a blast of dark energy onto all adjacent foes. This can really hurt.

And now the fun part :lol: ForestDragon has recently made a few ..."EoMa jokes" :P In my opinion they are amazing! :D If you want to look at EoMa from a funny perspective, you have to see these:

It looks like this is going to be the last news before Era of Magic 2.0 comes out ;) You should expect it somewhere around 24/25th March, if everything goes well. All major things are done and the addon is ready in 99%. It could be released earlier, but the user ForestDragon appeared with his amazing ideas a few weeks ago and ruined my schedule ...in a good way! :D Seriously, this is going to blow your mind, believe me 8)

Ok, so it's time to tell you more about recent additions to the Era:

New units:
Spoiler:
New/improved abilities:
Spoiler:
New attack icons:
There are new icons for Steam Berserker's frenzy and its mechanical fist. Also, there are icons for chaotic blast attack, Great Warlock's dark ball, Jinn's magic, Neutral Summoner's scimitar and hammer. Many other attack icons have been improved as well.

And here is another part of EoMa jokes made by ForestDragon :D More in "spoilers":

Not alone. It shows as "You are not authorised to download this attachment." (or curiously "The selected attachment does not exist anymore." when logged in) to those not involved in the private message where it is included.

I think they may laugh so hard, they cannot write :lol: But take into account that there was a problem with showing these jokes and the first person reported it ...a week later :shock: So probably during that time no one saw them so they had nothing to comment.

Era of Magic 2.0 is now available!

To celebrate 9 years of Era of Magic (and my birthday next week :mrgreen:) I am happy to announce the 2.0 release of the Era of Magic - one of the best umc eras ever created for the Battle for Wesnoth :)

It took months to complete but its finally there on both 1.12 and 1.13 add-on servers.

2.0 brings new units, new abilities, new graphics, new sounds, improved animations, improved balance and many more! :D The changes affected almost every aspect of the era. Everything has been improved. Forget about previous versions - this is a new beginning 8)

It is worth noting that Era of Magic 2.0 comes with... a map? :| :P Yes! And it is not an ordinary map but a MP SURVIVAL SCENARIO up to 4 players! :shock:
Ladies and gentlemen, let me present you the Zombies Challenge! :twisted: Some screenshots (more in spoilers):

Image
Spoiler:
This scenario allows players to test their skills against endless waves of EoMa zombies. These zombies are much different than walking corpses from the default BfW because they are very similar to their living counterparts in terms of attacks, resistances and types of movement. There is a turn limit but one can disable it and try to survive as long as possible. The map itself comes with a multihex lighting technology I used in To Lands Unknown campaign. Thanks to it, the caves are much darker and the zombies can really freak you out people, so do not play after midnight, ok? :lol:

In this very moment I would like to thank ForestDragon, who offered his help and shared many genius gameplay ideas for EoMa 2.0. He can be truly considered a co-creator of this release. Without this cooperation this add-on would never be as great as it is in its current state. Thank you so much! ;)
Also I want to thank kalfat (who optimized almost all animations in the era, which was a huge task), Hejnewar and ElderofZion (balancing suggestions) and many other users and fans who helped me to shape this add-on and make it great again! :)

Now its time for a changelog. I offer you two versions - one for lazy people, and the other one for enthusiasts :lol:

Okay, some small issues: Mystical Jinn image are stretched sideways in the interface, and Guru landmass attack gives 4 exp to units struck with splash every time it lands.

if a unit's sprite image does scale with 72x72 (for example if one side is larger than the other) it gets deformed to fit into unit description window.
this can be fixed by creating a square sized extra image for the unit info.

all units gain exp equal to the enemies level after combat, so if the lv4 Guru attacks, all enemies that survive will gain 4exp.
this is intended behaviour, but it might be new that it now works with special AoE attacks too ;)
