Ageless Era - Current Version: 4.37

[IPS]

btw Temuchin Khan I'd recommend you to take a time to view the Ageless version of imperial era units as many things are different from the original project because certain things were too abusable in XP mod / orocia shrine upgrade (like Legionaries shield + pilum attacks with extra strikes, particularly if BOTH attacks have SLOWS special and with extra strikes unit is most likely to use this attack always in retaliation) , which was pretty overpowered that pilum dealt as much damage as a lv1 archer strike...) , as well some lv3 late game Sidhe got flat defense of 50% because it was required to make them to not underperfom this much to even default (as well of a important XP reductions to some units).

Lastly, in 2024 we got more resources to nerf stuff like pilum attack being too powerful... for example the attack could be changed to 6-1 and be still a +slowing attack if for example it has a cons of -10% accuracy modifier, which would make it a GREAT attack if fighting on flat, but being terrible if something at very high defense uses a ranged attack againist legionaries. This would also fix lv2 legionaries to not be absurdly too OP in flat terrain which is most common terrain tile in the game , and finally allowing them to have either less cold weakness (which it was massive in Laviginian legionaries) OR at having more HP in lv2-lv3 and to not be massively OP in flat.

I still remember very old times which altering flat defense was something very uncommon and still a powerful feature that been used to buff some Ageless units that without this bonus, they would not have any unique feature and still low stats.

As well as the accuracy/parry stat exists, which can be used to buff/nerf things in convenience. In 1.18 elvish champion only gains +1 strike (to 8-5) in comparation of lv2 hero but gains +10% accuracy on their melee attacks , meaning they miss less often while taking a while to deal their full damage.

Other stuff

Spoiler:

Lv1 / Lv2 rocketers in Dalefolk is a sad unit... 22 dmg on main ranged on a lv2 is terrible... but it gets doubled damage in lv3 , lv1 rocketer damage is also awful in the bonus artillery attack. Consider it needs even lower XP from lv2 to lv3?

Lv1 artillery range damage should be increase even more (from 10 to 13-15?) or even 16 as full ranged damage so AI could be using that attack againist archers without taking any damages but the problem is the consistency issue regards all levels. But if ignoring the bonus artillery range, this unit is really awful...

If got something in somewhere else to comment feel free to comment something

Ageless Era 4.34 is out on the 1.18 add-on server

Code: Select all

Version 4.34:
* Units and Factions
    * Era of Magic update
    * Rashy Era update
* Balance
    * Many small balance changes. Detailed notes can be found from github - ProditorMagnus/Ageless-for-1-14
* Bug Fixes
    * FL summon
    * EFM trample interaction with other addons

[octalot]

Will 4.34 or later be released on the 1.16 server?

Here "no" is the easier answer for me - I'm wondering whether I'll need to do further uploads of SXC to 1.16. I have to do one last one anyway, having missed the deprecation, and in 4.31 removal, of AE_myh_Mistress.

[Ravana]

It will run in 1.16 if someone wants to copy it over, but not planning to upload.

[IPS]

I'm actually working in balance changes, but expected for this release will be the mentioned in this post.

Spoiler:

ELE --- Centaurs, pending from previous version
ELE - Horned Skeletons factional arcane res from -50% to -40% (+10%)
They must use witches and arcane aura to counter their increased arcane weakness... in comparation of defaultish skeletons.

EOS era full review
EOS --- Free Saurians , minor buffs, new unit planned.
EOS --- Minotaurs , minor buffs (again)
EOS --- Triththa , Runefighter/warrir will gain magical resistances as bonus.


Feudal Era --- overall review
Imperial Era --- overall review

Mercenaries Era , pending from previous release
ME --- Cult , buffs as they don't have any high accuracy attacker (mages or marksman...)
ME --- Hive , minor buffs
ME --- Infernai , no physical ranged, needs reviews in compensation.

ME - Enchanters , another review for few things to adjust

Mie Era , overall review.

Some EOMA stats adjustment (AE adjustment for fairness)

If given the time, attempting to add the new units mentioned some time ago.

[IPS]

Just posting that all ballance band-aid fixes been done, but related to new content is still pending... as I'm advising this because it's posssible that there is an Ageless update, so if this is the case THEN this would mean it would be just a EOMA quick update and another balance reviews.

So here is the list of balance changes for this 4.35
https://github.com/ProditorMagnus/Agele ... g-4.35.txt


In case the update is not today (which I think it will) then I would try to add few more content.

Lastly... 4.36 will come with a BIG surprise like we seen a year ago, will need to see if the plan can be approved for 4.36 (not this release)

[Ravana]

Ageless Era 4.35 is out on the 1.18 add-on server

Code: Select all

Version 4.35:
* Units and Factions
    * Era of Magic update
* Balance
    * Focus on high level units price and balance. Detailed notes can be found from github - ProditorMagnus/Ageless-for-1-14
    * There are now ageless-specific EoMa balance adjustments that are automatically applied during each EoMa update
    * MiE vampirism now works on more units
* Bug Fixes
    * EoMa Battlemage cost

[IPS]

Will start working in new release during this monday or later, expecting to make it ready for August 1-15th.

Most important to mention that is planned:
- Add 10 new factions (EE - Drakes , EOC- summoners and 8 or 9 others)
- Lil rework on Despair, I don't like the status of some units
a) For example the 25% ressistances in lv2 spearman will be split in 20/30% instead.
b) Lv3 Officer will have higher stats, but leadership will get nerfed to Rally, so it can be more consistent to previous level and be a better melee fighter. This will lead Despair to have better late/end-game once all units are maxed.
c) Will probably remove Skismirher in Lord Knight, but higher damages... , it will keep the terrain differences in comparation of Officer, while also being a more offensive path.

- Add icons on missing attacks (roswellians, Sverd Skjold, few other cases
- Add icon for Arillery Range & Insects damage type
- Implement Orc Minuti & Laviginan Legion adjustments
- Minor BEEM review (again)
- Attempt NEW promised units in Kthon, Meganerie, Free Saurians, few other things
- Having a finished (even if very limited) version of AE- Greatwars...
- More minor (or not so minor... depending the case) EOMA adjustments for fairness.

[IPS]

Been working some bit in Ageless Era, all new factions from... AoA (Armies of Ambrerian) been reworked and adapted to my criteria in Ageless, soon in 4.36 it will get released, as well of other balance changes.

I'm not absolutely sure if I will add more units to some existant factions in this release, but guess it's still a possibility, but not 100% confirmable.


This is the actual balance-changelog , as well a small leak of each AoA faction that will be added to Ageless in this next release.

As a faction of no healers, they need trully formidable units



NEW FACTION: Rovahrian elves
A more melee focused version of Rebels, which features nobles, zerking lv1 and zerking + skirmisher lv2 and elfic variation of loy swordsman/pikemen.

Druid is weaker in dmg on lv3, but she can heals+10
Reemplacement of lv2 red mage is way better because of elfic advantages and chance of dexterous trait... but cannot go lv4.


NEW FACTION: Mountain Goblins
They feature weaklings lv0-lv1 gobbos, lv3 version of goblin leadership, superior wolf rider, healer and superior assasins
Faction counts as bonus +10% hills/mountain defense (like dwraves) , 40% defense in frozen and 1 MP cost at caves.
All gobbo factions gains ONE possitive trait instead of a negative one (because they're not oppressed by abusive orcs) and 10% cold res.
They count of suppoort of animals and trolls (EE vesion of trolls)


NEW FACTION: Galianos Imperium
Another loy variation, but this one is more adamant/resistant fighters and tanks (even archers) , but no mages.
They also havve the help of healers, pyromancers and ranger roles.
Very strong in fighting at open fields and plains.


NEW FACTION: Farengarians Kingdoms
Very similar to loy, with some variations...
Horsemen heavier and more armored knights, lancers that can go lv3
Stronger mages in late-end-game, weaker healers
Equivalent melee/archers to loy but small stats variations

Few LV4 that players cannot obtain, but are added as unit data...


NEW FACTION: Mauvis Federation
Aggresive gameplay with superior mages, more mobible but double-edge melee swordsmen, leaking of scouts and a bit on pierce damage.
In overall, their units have lower ressists but usually good in HP-Movement ratio. Most lv2 melee/archers move 6.
Druids in Lv3 can heal+10


NEW FACTION: Kingdoms of Rovahr
Equilibrated loy variation that has knights/spearmen/archer variations, one optional tanky archer
Superior duelist/mat-at-arms , and two types of heavy armored fighters
While featuring inferior cold mage and rasonably good priest fighter healers.


NEW FACTION: Farengarian Countries
Knalgan aliance with slight changes, no berserkers or outlaws, but other units instead.
Features bulky bear fighters, gryphons with extra lance attack, leadership but weaker steeclads and a variation more similar to Steelclad.
They also have ballistas and a cannon (with artillery range fire too) and unit that can repairs them.


NEW FACTION: Morkenost and Darfenlend
Another knalgan variation without outlaws and zerkers.
Trappers and Rangers are dwarf instead of human, Gryphon rider with weaker melee but a bow.
Acess to Healing and Slowers, Dwarven HI hybrid and one leadership unit.


NEW FACTION: Norse Jarldoms
Hybrid between loyalists and Knalgan faction, they feature superior ressists and terrain mobility, but they are 50% defense in villages.
Crossbowmen are well armored ranged, meanwhile archers are trapper/ranger like.
Their horses feature aggresion (which is bit worse than charge) on secondary attack , they got plenty of interesting melee options.
1) Plunderer who has +10% accuracy at the cost of -10% parry
2) Axemen that are 50% flat defense and somewhat agile , but less armored
3) Jarl that are very strong swordsmen variation
4) Guardsmen with steadfast

They are strong because of no owning mages or healers.


AoA - Finn's Empire
Loy variation with more mobile spearman/swordsmen/pikemen variation but less armored.
They feature 36 HP loy calvary but without bonus cold res (on lv1)
They also got cannon and mortar with artillery/ranged attacks , healers with magical melee and a ranged attack (at lv2-lv3 slows)
They also have a lv2/lv3 option of spearman/bowman which is like heavy infantry.
With superior fencers in their recruit list.

Additionally, there will be high changes that I add few more factions to Ageless in our next release, factions that are mentioned are these:
- EOC - Summoners , after being removed long ago, they will get re-added again (hopefully this release)
- EE - Drakes , an EE version of drakes which features more units and etc.
- Under Burning Sun's Quenoth Elves, I still have to view about what some auras do before viewing if they need buff or not.


As well other planned thing on this release is to add images to Insects damage type as well of Aritllery range.


More balance changes are coming appart of the mentioned, but these are absolutely official and coming to our next release.
Will keep you informed as soon as a large mount of things be added

[IPS]

Getting you updated by a little.

I think that in this upd there will be no new units for following factions:
1) EA - Desert elves
2) ARCHAIC - Menagerie (will also add a lv4 version of blue beast due delays)
3) ARCHAIC - Khtons
Few other units in some other factions...

Reasons: there was the need to request more attention and time at polishing AoA content (clearing it of minor bugs I commited) , as well of making AoA mountain goblins be more playable with extra attcks/recruit units/leader lists because the faction was very poor in lv2+ gameplay.

For example, mountain goblins to be viable I've decided to add them the following extras:
1) Troll Whelp been changed to EE - Troll Whelp (which can level up into Troll shaman lv2)
2) Added Sidhe Elf bears, this is actually a good idea because in the same era a dwarf faction has bear riders
3) Added EE Monster's Gryphon's, which can go even to lv3 unlike Knalgan Gryphon Riders
4) Added Archaic's Stork riders (are an hybrid between wolf riders & naga fighters, but can't lv3)
5) Added an extra Sling attack in the lv1/lv2 goblin assassins (Lv1 5-2 and lv2 6-3 +50% marksman) as faction is still missing of decent ranged attackers.

I've been really interested to steal the sprites of lv1-lv3 halfling in barrel armor for a goblin unit (nobody can realize what is inside the armor XD) , but I haven't found the sprites yet... but as soon as I find it (if before the release) then mountain goblins would have an armored lv1-lv3 goblin on spear (who knows if with steadfast or only superior physical/arcane/cold ressists).

As well, there will be another delay in AE Great Wars getting updated.


Did also made some ajustments to some few units in specific... what will make the game feel more fair.

Spoiler:

ME - Highlanders
- Lumberjack ranged damage adjusted from 9-2 to 4-4
So it nerfs him in XP mods

ELE - Fallen
- Asperser ranged damage to 6-5 (+1)

EFM - Pygmies
- Toad Breath / Wyrd XP to 93 (-7)

EOS - Eltireans
- Siren/Tempress pierce res to 10% (+10%)

EE - Dwarves
- Dwarf Flame Thrower HP to 45 (+3) , price to 28g (-3g)
- War Wheel AMLA XP to 134 (-16) , price to 45g (+10g)

EE - Undead
- Doom Prophet HP to 63 (+3) , all ranged damages increases by +1 , arcane res to -30% (+10%) , price to 67g (+2g)

Will also readjust some lv3 EOMA units stats because they out classing their lv4 thanks to the help of XP mod... will just mention the final changes in balance changelog 4.36.

[IPS]

Did some changes to planned things for 4.36 , sadly, UtbS Quenoth Elves will not get added this next release, still almost all pending units from really long will be added to certain factions.

Note: Arhcaic - Phamtom will have AE own version of slaves or adivinators, or whatever,will see how to suit them correctly in the era (not in this release, but later).

So including everything, the defenetive balance changelog for 4.35 to 4.36. Note this is long, reason why I added it inside a spoiler.

Spoiler:

AE - GLOBAL MESSAGE
PENDING, LV2 NEW XP STANDARIZATIONS
Same as of lv3 and lv4 having this tiers (126/134/150/166/175) for lv3 , (175/200/250) for lv4, there will be certain values for lv2.
- Lv2 values might be (90/100/111) depending out of unit's potential in late/endgame based in their stats and special qualities.
There will be exceptions.
Idea is to be consistent in this thing in a future release (maybe in 4.37?)

PENDING, NOTED CHANGES
- Certain Free Saurian units adjusting manually to 10%
- Adding the wanted AMLA for Altaris Scouts.
- SIMPLIFY THE UI in certain units (too many specials in certain specific cases... will try to fix that in 4.37)
- FEW new units in multiple factions
1) AE - Desert Elves - Desert Warrior & its Lv3 (same 9-4 blade melee but 20% on blade/impact & 10% on pierce) , very XP thristy for lv3
2) Wanting to add something else in SteelHive, but no concept yet.

FACTIONS PENDING TO BE ADDED LATER:
1) Postponed UtbS Quenoth Elves in prior of decreasing the list of pending units that been so long ago.
2) 4.37 will add a EE - Rebels faction which was removed because being so mediocre add, but will make it somewhat decent in more recent times.

ARCHAIC - Khtons

- Lv2 Prokyon will now have a new Lv3 option : NEW UNIT: AE_arc_khthon_Argamarok

This deadly lv3 fighter features 10-4 melee attack at having +10% accuracy and -10% parry, which makes it ferous but vulnerable in melee range.
Features 72 HP (which is a lot more HP than Orthurus) but much worse physical resistances ... and only 5 movement speed which is notably slower.

Second Melee features a 14-2 secret melee with both +10% accuracy and Mind-fog Special
with the addition of a special that debuffes enemy being hit (lowering all common res by -20% less)

The unit also features very odd resistances (10% to blade/pierce/fire, 50% on impact, 60% on cold and -20% on arcane.
This unit is an extremely strong addition to Deep Elves , faction that was leaking with damage types so the unit comes very convenient.


Additionally, unit being massively resistant to impact is to help her at counter HI type units which usually struggles deep elves so hard.
(and also makes some sense if thinking in the art concept...)

In overall, their units have lower ressists but usually good in HP-Movement ratio. Most lv2 melee/archers move 6.
Druids in Lv3 can heal+10


NEW FACTION: Kingdoms of Rovahr
Equilibrated loy variation that has knights/spearmen/archer variations, one optional tanky archer
Superior duelist/mat-at-arms , and two types of heavy armored fighters
While featuring inferior cold mage and rasonably good priest fighter healers.


NEW FACTION: Farengarian Countries
Knalgan aliance with slight changes, no berserkers or outlaws, but other units instead.
Features bulky bear fighters, gryphons with extra lance attack, leadership but weaker steeclads and a variation more similar to Steelclad.
They also have ballistas and a cannon (with artillery range fire too) and unit that can repairs them.


NEW FACTION: Morkenost and Darfenlend
Another knalgan variation without outlaws and zerkers.
Trappers and Rangers are dwarf instead of human, Gryphon rider with weaker melee but a bow.
Acess to Healing and Slowers, Dwarven HI hybrid and one leadership unit.


NEW FACTION: Norse Jarldoms
Hybrid between loyalists and Knalgan faction, they feature superior ressists and terrain mobility, but they are 50% defense in villages.
Crossbowmen are well armored ranged, meanwhile archers are trapper/ranger like.
Their horses feature aggresion (which is bit worse than charge) on secondary attack , they got plenty of interesting melee options.
1) Plunderer who has +10% accuracy at the cost of -10% parry
2) Axemen that are 50% flat defense and somewhat agile , but less armored
3) Jarl that are very strong swordsmen variation
4) Guardsmen with steadfast

They are strong because of no owning mages or healers.


AoA - Finn's Empire
Loy variation with more mobile spearman/swordsmen/pikemen variation but less armored.
They feature 36 HP loy calvary but without bonus cold res (on lv1)
They also got cannon and mortar with artillery/ranged attacks , healers with magical melee and a ranged attack (at lv2-lv3 slows)
They also have a lv2/lv3 option of spearman/bowman which is like heavy infantry.
With superior fencers in their recruit list.

Btw, I got a new goal for 4.37 somewhere in october or early november, some of them will be listed at here:

- Fix some little inconsistencies/wrong values at certain things.
- Viewing a method to make certain factions more fun (Example: Frozen Human, Dark Legion) as they feel so meh in comparation of others.
- Working in AE-Balanced and AE-Great Wars
- Various other things.

[IPS]

This post is mainly done to advise that there will be another wave of EOMA adjustments in Ageless.

The main focus in here will be the following:
1) Nerf very powerful attacks such as the 45-1 magical lightning from lv4 master of elements, by just a bit (that attack is an extra, unit doesn't entirely need that attack at all... but it still has it...).
2) Minor EXP nerfs to specific lv2-lv3 units , meaning it might require more XP to have specific units.
3) Price increases on lv3 for WC II fariness, as in EOMA lv3-lv4 units are underpriced because EOMA is full of high accuracy slowers in almost all factions so such units cannot be correctly priced to Ageless/Default standards.



Aditionally, will add a list of all oficially published balance changes that will be on this 4.37 release.

- Saber Cat HP to 57 (+2)

This type of units is a remminder that players must always have ARCHERS and not only mages.
- Land Mage HP to 59 (+3)
- Illusionist XP to 63 (-7)

Lastly, EOTF brungars will get a new unit, an advancement for lv2 stingray giving a lot of HP and only 1 movement and very minor increase of damages to make it still viable in late/endgame gameplay.

Very low chances that few more units gets changed/rebalanced (excluding EOMA) , but still possible.
