Dev Diary #10 Units: Abilities and Modifiers

Units in Empires have very diverse profiles and different roles. Some are heavy hitters, like phalanxes, legions and other heavy infantry. These units cost a lot to recruit and maintain, and will use a lot of metal, so can’t be mass produced easily. They have drawbacks too, like being relatively slo...

Re: Field of Glory: Empires Dev Diary #3 - Buildings

Sounds like some great depth to the game. The black market is intriguing. So a slave market will let me enslave captured enemy units from battles I win? Is there a mechanism in the game to convert the enemy troops listed as 'captured' in the FOG tactical battles into 'slaves' in my slave market? Th...

And of course due to the randomisation of leaders, a great leader rising from among the random leaders is possible as well, for any countries.

Re: Leaders and their traits

Presently we do not have traits for military leaders (rulers have them, but leaders do not). They have an attack and a defense rating. Traits were at least important for flavor. Do leaders have historical name? not random (Not so a joke, it's a sudden worry wondering) See above on how historical le...

Sorry for the late reply!

It is definitely an interesting idea. Possibly a bit challenging to make it easy to oversee and manage for the player, but it would be an interesting solution for games set in later historical eras.

Presently we do not have traits for military leaders (rulers have them, but leaders do not). They have an attack and a defense rating. These give the units bonus dice during combat and can be decisive when there's a big gap between the opposing leaders.

Re: Leaders and their traits

Whatever I write is subject to change until release of course, but the historical leaders we have are basically semi-random: during the years of their active period, they have a chance to appear in the game. Rest of the leaders are randomised of course. They do not have the long list of traits the l...
