First of all,HOLY SHIT the combat is atrocious.Its basically like skyrim combat but worse considering you have to drag your shield instead of clicking a button and attacking is even worse because you have to time your attack based on the animation that it plays.Instead of awkward weapon flailing:sword,axe,pike,spear and club should have there own animation instead of the main character flailing them around like he have muscle disfiguration.Also,add more damage to the bow,its lacking some punch like an actual bow.
Second of all,the campaign is so repetitive.Go from one point to another while slaying some dudes while getting a key to open up a gate so you can get a scarlet from adventure time(Haven't finished it yet because i was bored to continue the armory quest).Add some variety to your levels.Don't just throw different enemy type see what sticks.
These are the two main problem i found from the campaign alone.Really hope you improve the combat and the really edgy full caps story.
P.S:You should be able to attack while the shield is up,else the shield have no real purpose on the battlefield or at all.
There will be a new fighting system with procedural animations soon. And the player attacks will be changed too, to allow dynamic attacks even with the shield.
You can always give your opinions nicely and not criticize the flaw of the game. JNI create this gmae by himself and its a new game so there is much more to be improve. It will be more nice of you if you can show more respect to people's hardwork. Thanks.
A bad game can become good after being criticize.Pointing out the flaw does not ruin the game for people.I'm just suggesting room for improvement.Criticizing a game is not disrespecting the creator,its basically telling them that there are problems with there games.To be honest even if a game is created by one guy,its still deserved to be criticize.
P.S; You really should look up the definition of criticism if you think i was hating on the creator mate :\
Side note:I mean if you guys can report bug and glitch why can't i report the flaws of this game?Why,because its different?
PP.S; And what do you mean i should give my opinion nicely?I clearly said at the last sentences:"I really hope you would improve the combat and the really edgy full caps story" i did not say : "Wow this game is utter garbage and should not be on the top page of itch io" Like i said,this game have room for improvement,i'm not trying to take this game down just because i don't like it.I simply just want to see it IMPROVE not removed.
Can I rotate the camera while making a army? If I can please tell me how! Its hard to make a execution place if I can only predict placing troops inside it :3
I was making my execution castle thingy and I accidently double click and I was like... Why are you flying to the abyss without my permission... And I was laughing so hard!
First of all, I want you to know that I absolutely love your game. I've had a great time playing it so far and am excited to see more of it in the future. With that said, I have a few questions to ask. Is there any way to increase the range of a bow or sling shot? Whenever I shoot a bow or sling the projectiles just seem to flop onto the ground. I haven't seen many bugs, but once my head was shot off by a ballista but I didn't die. I kept fighting and beat the level, because anytime after that when I was injured I could just keep going. Overall, I'm enjoying your game very much and I can't wait to see more of it.
When you are using bow don't aim directly onto the enemy... like on top of it! I'm sure that you can predict where is it going to land! Btw Crossbow is the best weapon if you know how to aim and use it! Just keep backing up fire to the enemy at the same time! And crossbow has the same damage with hand cannon! But hand cannon is more accurate but takes ages to load! That's why you need to know how to aim crossbow! I mean JNI still fixing something. He probably will make a lot of changes in the future!
Yep. The system isn't very good. But I'm testing other options to see how they are working. I'm pretty sure that the next update will improve the controls.
Can you please fix the Horse men? its weird that you can kill the guy that riding it (no pun intended) and the horse keep going... But when you shoot or kill the horse, the guy that riding it (no pun intended) also died... Maybe in the future you can kill the guy and than ride the horse! And maybe other troops can ride it (Again no pun intended) and maybe the Unmounted (You kow what I mean right? right? *wink* *wink*) Balista, Hwacha, and Catapult can be mounted by other troops! And please fix the AI so the troops wont just shoot the wall even they are inside it! Or maybe you should make 2 new castles! Red Castle and Blue castle! So they wont just wrecked their own castle! And the last one is if you put a melee troop inside a castle they will not go out through the door to fight the enemy, they just walking to the wall constantly, until the wall is broken (I know they love Trump's wall until they hug it and kiss it, but really...) And the weird thing is they can see through wall... You should change this... OWH YEA!!! When a troop is under a building and that building collapsed they still alive... And the one on top of it died instantly (which is make sense). And add a horse men holding crossbows, hand cannons, and bows. And lower the elephant speed a bit (they are whey to over powered).
Horseriding is already planned. The problem with the AI is, that it is very minimalistic. It doesn't event use an algorithm like A* to walk around. I want to improve the AI soon in terms of performance and intelligence. At the moment, they are just idiots.
And I will add ranged horses, too.
Thank you for your feedback, I will use it to improve the game.
I found a feature that when you build something and you press h even whey you are playing, it will destroy the building! Speaking of building can you please make building can be build easier! I want to build something but its hard to make it. Because you need to choose the building and place it and choose it and place it again and again... Maybe you should make pre build walls! and STAIRS! And I know there is no reason for this, but can you add when you place building you can stack them. So I can put an elephant and tell it to wreck it. And maybe when a part of an entity got dismember, make it to they getting blood loss and if they got dismember on their leg they cant move. But since there is a setting said no dismembering or something like that... it will be no reason to add it. And maybe you should add poison arrow since in there is fire so they can make a "Chemistry". And maybe you can add how many arrows you have or bullets to make it more realistic... And you can get arrows from a dead archer. And maybe put a diffrence about horses and elephant by putting red or blue saddle on it. So I can see the diffrence about them and not shooting my own team horse. And can you add Pyromaster? And maybe add a new website so you can share your builds!
Thank yoiu again for all the suggestions! "h" is an old debug button to test destruction. I removed it for the next update.
There will be a building system with build parts, which will snap to each other, so that you can build your own castles.
About the shared battles. I will find a solution, but it's very difficult to find enough webspace, since the game is pay what you want and web space is expensive.
JNI:thanks for Answer! But i tried out with all my Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge. And i find out that the problem dont is in Ancient Warfare 2, it is in itch.io. I cant download any Game from Itch.io. But other Sites Work. I normally use Chrome
There is nothing I can do... Sorry but the download is provided by itch.io. Check if your browser up to date and your connection is working. And please use a common browser like firefox/opera/chrome. Which browser do you use? Btw, I tested the downloads with firefox 50.0.2 and all is working fine. If nothing will work, please message me again, so that I can contact itch.io about the problem.
i'm pressing the right buttons to pick up a weapon but its just not working :( maybe its because i'm on mac... oh and JNI srry i grabbed your game for free i wanted to pay but i'm just a kid :(((
I dont know if i am doing something wrong but when i go on campaign it shows the flags so i click on the first one and then it it takes me to like a loading screen with a back button but then nothing happens. I mean ive probably done something wrong. And anyway love the game. But its just that one thing.
Whoever developed this game, I would like to say amazing job!!! The mechanics are really fun to use, just an all-around great physics game! And the fact that you made it "name-your-price" if really generous of you guys, I know for a fact that people would be very willing to spend a bit of money on this game! Anyways, great job and thanks!
I just downloaded this game and really enjoy playing it. There is one problem thought, I can't pick up weapons. I hold down the right mouse button and press e when the circle is pointed at the weapon and it still won't pick up.
The circle has nothing to do with the pick up. You have to get really close to weapon. There will be a notice in the top left corner of the screen if you are close enough. But that system is really bad and I changed it for the next update.
I highly enjoyed playing this game. I find that actually being a soldier in a battle is fun, unique and much more enjoyable than just watching the battle like you do in TABS. Being able to change the outcome of a battle in a game by taking part in it rather than just watching is always a welcome feature ;)
Question: Will you put this game on Steam? If not, why? I feel like this game would be quite popular on Steam.
it is a totally different game that shares different physics & game play, JNI will not be happy if his hardwork is mistaken as the replica of another game
I really like this game but I would love to be able to look up or aim with ranged weapons in first person and 3rd person.. Just the aiming is horrible and I love ranged :D
Hey so I had a few suggestions, overall I thought the game was really good but there seemed to be somethings that need to be fixed.
1. Picking up weapons is way to difficult I'm not sure if this is just because e is also bound to shield movement as well as pick up weapons but anyway something isn't quite right.
2 You can only swing weapons at the same angle, you give us such great target with dismemberment and armor making points do less damage/take no damage but the problem is we can't control where we swing. It feels like trying to his a pinata but only able to swing at the same height.
3. The animations are hard to see in first person mode and make it unclear when you are actually attacking
4. a lot of the animations don't make sense with the weapons, its stuff like why would I swing with a spear or stab with a hammer
Thank you for your feedback! The weapon pickup system will be much better and easier after the next update. And I want to change the fight system completely. It should become procedural and the player can control its weapon with the mouse input.
This game is pretty good, However I have a Complaint/Sugjestion.
Custom Battle Loading: When you save or load for the Custom Battles you have to start from My Computer, and locate the save. I would like for the loader to start in the directory where you last left off. This isnt too big of a deal however.
There will be more siege weapons and weapons soon. The content list is extremly long!
Animations should become procedural in the future. Multiplayer is unsure. I can't decide that at the moment, because I first want to optimize the game.
my channel subs almost quintupled from one video of this game at youtube.com/watch?v=WeVNYzgJT98&t=853s. I usually get around 20 views, this one got over 9,000

When does Ancient Warfare 3 leave?
I have nothing planned about a 3rd part. I want to continue the development of the second one.
There will be a spin off with modern stuff, but no 3rd part.
When it leaves a new version of the game, with new things?
First of all,HOLY SHIT the combat is atrocious.Its basically like skyrim combat but worse considering you have to drag your shield instead of clicking a button and attacking is even worse because you have to time your attack based on the animation that it plays.Instead of awkward weapon flailing:sword,axe,pike,spear and club should have there own animation instead of the main character flailing them around like he have muscle disfiguration.Also,add more damage to the bow,its lacking some punch like an actual bow.
Second of all,the campaign is so repetitive.Go from one point to another while slaying some dudes while getting a key to open up a gate so you can get a scarlet from adventure time(Haven't finished it yet because i was bored to continue the armory quest).Add some variety to your levels.Don't just throw different enemy type see what sticks.
These are the two main problem i found from the campaign alone.Really hope you improve the combat and the really edgy full caps story.

Hold the right mouse button and move the mouse.
Thanks this is very helpful!
OMG I FOUND THE FUNNIEST GLITCH!
Try putting 2 enemy catapult on the same place! And see how SCIENCE WORK!!!
The catapult will start flying! Well if it doesn't works when you tried it, I'm sorry I wasted your time :(
It's a planned feature :P
I will look into it, thank you for reporting!
I was making my execution castle thingy and I accidently double click and I was like... Why are you flying to the abyss without my permission... And I was laughing so hard!

I have check the dismemberment system... Sometimes an elephant will lose his leg, but it continues the battle.
Can you please fix the Horse men? its weird that you can kill the guy that riding it (no pun intended) and the horse keep going...

Ok, I will write an email to itch.io. Maybe they know a solution.
Thank you jni. I love her to answer so quickly
i can´t download it!! It downloads 1-2-3 mb. and then it says inadmissible!! Please help jni.:(
There is nothing I can do... Sorry but the download is provided by itch.io. Check if your browser up to date and your connection is working. And please use a common browser like firefox/opera/chrome. Which browser do you use?
Btw, I tested the downloads with firefox 50.0.2 and all is working fine. If nothing will work, please message me again, so that I can contact itch.io about the problem.
why does it sey unknown publisher
Where?
I think he means when on Windows 7 (and other versions? I'm not sure I don't use windows :c) there is usually a warning when trying to run it..
Shouldn't effect anything anyway, just click the "do not show this again" check mark and press run.
Ah ok.
well its probably because you download it from the internet. I mean mine says the same :3
Most games you get from the internet it say Unknown Publisher
do you need to buy it
No, you can click on “No thanks, just take me to the downloads“.
i'm pressing the right buttons to pick up a weapon but its just not working :( maybe its because i'm on mac... oh and JNI srry i grabbed your game for free i wanted to pay but i'm just a kid :(((
That's why the game is "pay what you want". Don't worry I will change the pick up system in the next update in a few days.
But you have to press "e" while holding the right mouse button to pick up weapon
do i just extract the file
This depends on your OS, you better use google to find out how to extract a zip file on your OS...
I just changed the name to zip file ;3
thabks
I dont know if i am doing something wrong but when i go on campaign it shows the flags so i click on the first one and then it it takes me to like a loading screen with a back button but then nothing happens. I mean ive probably done something wrong. And anyway love the game. But its just that one thing.
Ok, I will look into it. Maybe the button is just not working...
Well whenever i go onto it i dont get a button at all So im not sure what it is
I have a suggestion for the game!
1.Add Weapon damage and armor durability
2.Add Buff and debuff to armors, like heavy armor but more durable
3.Add EXPLOSIVES
4.On desert change grass to dead bushes
5.Maybe add more teams?!?!?
6.Put an option to add hills to the map!
7.Maybe add Cannon?
8.Add a Cheese pizza... yummm (jk, But if you did that would be "Grate")
9.Maybe in a another mode you can command your army to attack where and go where?
10.Maybe a musket??
That is all of my suggestion (for now atleast) Keep up the good work and maybe you can take some of my Suggestion :3
I like the way that you Coorperating with Us all that who played the game :3
by means of coorporating you take suggestion and actively chat with us all!
Hey, thank you for your suggestions!
There are many suggestions and most of yours are already on my todo list ;)
(Trust me, this list is very long)
I want to create a public trello page soon, to show you what will come to the game and to keep all ideas ordered.
Until then, happy playing!
How do I throw weapons?
Btw Cool game. I'm Lovin' it.
You have to hold the right mouse button and press the left mouse button. I'm glad that you like it!
Hehe thanks! You deserve More Likes anyway :3
when is king vs. king and quick game be available?
I think the update after the next one.
Whoever developed this game, I would like to say amazing job!!! The mechanics are really fun to use, just an all-around great physics game! And the fact that you made it "name-your-price" if really generous of you guys, I know for a fact that people would be very willing to spend a bit of money on this game! Anyways, great job and thanks!
Thank you for your words! Feels good to hear that.
how do i use dual weopons
you cant in this update
When I create a battle, I add something, but how do I make that object spin (rotation)?
'y' & 'x' key
ummmm why cant i pick up weapons? i neeeed to know
right click, when you are close enough, press 'e', the current system for picking up weapon is a bit complicated but it will be easier in next update
what if i tried that :(
HOW DO I SHOOT THE HAWACHA??
Press g to use it. Increase/Decrease the range with r and f and press the left mouse button to shoot.
ok thanks
HOW DO YOU GIVE YOURSELF A HORSE
Not possible at the moment.
Sorry Im a bit of a noob how do download the game coz it's just a folder when i look at it
Which os are you using? You have to extract the downloaded zip file. there will be a new folder with the executables in it.
sorry i wasnt being smart i can do it but thanks for responding quickly will tell my friends about this game

Hi, I'm glad you like it. And yes, I will put the game on steam, but I have no time to do that at the moment, but I will do that soon.
is this like TABS
it is a totally different game that shares different physics & game play, JNI will not be happy if his hardwork is mistaken as the replica of another game
Yep
how do you change range of ballista
You can't. The ballista shoots as far as it can.
Hi im new on this site and i really enjoy this game :D
Good to hear that!
will you add a jump function to this game later?
I'm not sure, but it's on my list. I have to create the new fighting system first.
this game would be more good if it was for free
It's pay what you want, so you can download it for free...
This game is great, just look read the actual text.
I really like this game but I would love to be able to look up or aim with ranged weapons in first person and 3rd person.. Just the aiming is horrible and I love ranged :D
I'm glad you like it! And I will work on the aiming soon
try pressing "C" it will make your camera to first person
Hey so I had a few suggestions, overall I thought the game was really good but there seemed to be somethings that need to be fixed.

Thanks for you time
Thank you for your feedback! The weapon pickup system will be much better and easier after the next update. And I want to change the fight system completely. It should become procedural and the player can control its weapon with the mouse input.
This game is pretty good, However I have a Complaint/Sugjestion.
Custom Battle Loading: When you save or load for the Custom Battles you have to start from My Computer, and locate the save. I would like for the loader to start in the directory where you last left off. This isnt too big of a deal however.
Oh yes you are right. I already wanted to implememt this, but I forgot it somehow... I will add this in the next update.
when is the next update coming?
17th December
thanks, but whats new abou it
i need help i can't do anything after the game starts running, the only thing i can do is exit the game but not with the button
Which os are you using? Does the main menu show up?
mac ?x720 and yes it does
Hey, nice game. I just had suggestion, can you put slow motion in the game?
In the spectate mode, there is a slow motion slider. Maybe I can add this to the other gamemmodes too.
i kno im asking alot but will there be multiplayer and ne animations?maybe even new weapons and siege weapons!btw love the game.
There will be more siege weapons and weapons soon. The content list is extremly long!
Animations should become procedural in the future. Multiplayer is unsure. I can't decide that at the moment, because I first want to optimize the game.
k but can u tell me about how much time will you need to imploment all things on the list and will it be done in 2017?
i kno im asking alot but will there be multiplayer and ne animations?maybe even new weapons and siege weapons!btw love the game.
my channel subs almost quintupled from one video of this game at youtube.com/watch?v=WeVNYzgJT98&t=853s. I usually get around 20 views, this one got over 9,000
That's cool, I'm glad that the game could help :D
Yeah!
Hey I really enjoy this game and just to let you know loads of major youtubers are playing it!! Youre getting tons of publicity!!
Hey, I'm glad you like the game. And the publicity is awesome. I just don't understand why the game isn't in the itch.io top list...
The first part has less downloads and views but has a higher rank.
Im not saying they are bad but in the next update maybe you could improve the Fighting animations
I want to replace them with procedural stuff. At least I'm going to try it.
