Thanks I really like your game very fun. i look forward to more updates, I rate it a 9/10 very fun, a few glitches but not enough to ruin the experience!
In the campaign in phase 14, I get close to the ballista, I brake I do not walk I just move the camera, it's not only in the campaign, also when I get close to the debris of a construction this happens too, please fix it, and thank you ;)
Just found out this glitch where I was on like level 3 and I got a spear thrown into me and I fell over like I died but I didn't die I'm still alive and it won't let me get back up
I was alive, could move my camera and such as if I were alive but I just couldn't move, I was stuck laying down like I was dead but the ai still targeted me, I could turn my camera like I was alive instead of it being frozen like when you die and it was fixed when I reset my character but some people might not think to do that and report the game as broken or uninstall it thinking it's a broken game that has all this content but is unplayable
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.

The only glitch that makes me rage is when you kill the guy on the ballista. You get stuck in the ballista and can't do anything but wait to die.
Other than that, fantastic game!
Tomorrow is the next update. It will fix the glitch.
Me too!!! But I resolve it by throwing the sword! XD
Always improvise! :D
Can you rotate the characters
Yes, press y and x.
i know now
Jannik, where are you from?

Thanks I really like your game very fun. i look forward to more updates, I rate it a 9/10 very fun, a few glitches but not enough to ruin the experience!

Ok, so for you is the update at 5am
This game is a ton of fun! The campaign mode is definitely my favorite :)
Thank you for sharing your video.
Just found out this glitch where I was on like level 3 and I got a spear thrown into me and I fell over like I died but I didn't die I'm still alive and it won't let me get back up
Are you aure that you were alive? I mean was you able to move the character. If not, you just have to press escape and spectate.
I was alive, could move my camera and such as if I were alive but I just couldn't move, I was stuck laying down like I was dead but the ai still targeted me, I could turn my camera like I was alive instead of it being frozen like when you die and it was fixed when I reset my character but some people might not think to do that and report the game as broken or uninstall it thinking it's a broken game that has all this content but is unplayable
ok
it says its free but then it says i have to pay
There is a button "No thanks, just take me to the downloads"...
did you*

Next update will be on 17th december...
in the next update will you fix the undo problem because you cant undo people after there been used In a fight
I can add this if you want.
I tried out all of the gamemodes and made a castle siege in the custom mode! Super excited for the new update!
Thank you for sharing your video!
can you make a world war one themed map and weapons?
This would be to modern for Ancient Warfare. But I will create a modern spin off, where could be some world war weapons.
When i choose campaign it just puts me on the level one screen with the words on the side
I will look into it. Sorry for that issue
haha this is a ton of fun, hoping to make more videos of it <3
Thank you for sharing your video! I will watch it later today
In the next update, can we use horses and elephants?
The next update is about controls and preparations for whats comming next. Horse and elephant riding is planned for the update after the next one.
Would it be cool if you would add old oriental weapons?
I will add them soon. There will be much more units
Why when you press the "h" key the towers you placed breaks apart in custom battle?
It's an old debug key, but I removed it for the next update.
Why when you press the "h" key the towers you placed breaks apart in custom battle?
JNI: are you a single person or a group?
I'm a single person.
wow respect !!
this game needs update
Next update is on 17th december. After that I will have more time for more updates.
ok thanks
How do I kill an elephant (dismembering)?
With a ballista or catapult.
thanks
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.

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.

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?

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“.
