So Jannik, I'm pleased to see you took my idea of adding armored horses! And I'm really happy for that. Let's get to the point. Here is my idea what to add and a bug.
Idea: Armored horses with armored riders/knights!
Bug: Archers shoot the enemies without looking at them which kinda ruins the cinematic part.
Hey mate, it's a good idea to add armored riders to the armored horses.
I'm aware of that bug. There is a hotfix to fix this behaviour if the unit is not on a castle wall, but I think there will be another hotfix for this issue soon.
It's just a bit slower. But it's better than the old one, because it doesn't freeze the application, which is a big problem on slower computers and it's a bit slower, because I can do some more optimizations for the runtime in the new system.
Oh ,ok. I have to just spend 5 euro on steam (because accounts that haven't buyed anything on steam can't do anything) And then i'll support you on Steam Greenlight.
NO! Please note that I created the concept of the game for ludumdare 36 "Ancient technology". I wasn't aware of tabs when I started the development and the only real similarity is that you can just watch the battles. The focus of this game is to actually play a character in different gamemodes.
i love this update i love riding on the elephants and i like the traps and the 2 new maps and the great new units and running and can,t wait to see what you have planed on your upcoming update on jan 25 and thanks for this update :)
-Castle building system -New building parts -Traps -Elephant/horse riding -37 new units -King vs. king mode -Quick battle mode -Procedural battles -Performance improvements -2 new biomes -Editor improvements -Faster AI
I want to ask you , dear creator, is there an option to pay with paysafecard on this site? (Not with the card, with the 16-pin coupon) , because i really want to support you :D
It sometimes protect from projectiles and it will reduce the damage from weapons. It will also stop melee weapons from cutting you into pieces. But all this will just take effect, if the armor is actually hit.
Are you ever going to make it so you can go back to custom battle editor during the battle? Because it's fustrating at times when for example your trying to make a battle so you start the battle to see how it is so far but you have to wait for the battle to end to go back to the custom battle editor or even go back to the main menu, having to build everything back from scratch
I am not a computer savvy guy but just a grandpa trying to help my 6 year old grandson. He wants to be able to play your game so I downloaded it and then downloaded winrar for 64 bit whatevers. I have an HP model 15-1211wm with windows 10. i dont know how to extract and am totally lost. Can you help me, please. Sincerely, grandpa Pete
It's really easy on windows. You don't need winrar, you can extract it with windows as well. Right click on the downloaded file -> Hover the "open with" entry -> Click on "windows explorer".
A new window should come up with a directiory inside. Drag and drop this directory on the desktop(or another location of your choise).
Close the explorer window.
Open the directiory, which you dragged on the desktop.
Double click the "AncientWarfare2.exe" file to start the game.

Ok, thanks for replying!
JNI i dislike the new loading system do to making the game slow
It's just a bit slower. But it's better than the old one, because it doesn't freeze the application, which is a big problem on slower computers and it's a bit slower, because I can do some more optimizations for the runtime in the new system.
oh will i have a really good PC and thanks for replying
Siege Battles :) This update is EPIC ;)
Awesome thumbnail, I will watch it later!
Great job. can camera speed in building custom mode be increased a bit? it is really slow now :)
BTW, it looks like optimalization is huge problem of this game right now
Thank you for your feedback. I will increase the the speed of the camera. But did you know, that you can speed up the camera by pressing shift?
The performance isn't the best. I know where the problem is and I will add a new movement system soon, to heavily improve the performance.
Oh, shift worked very nice. Thanks
The best game ever :)
Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed your video!
Hello there again, i want to ask you , JNI , will this game be on steam? And if it will be, will it be free to play? If not, how much will it cost?
Since yesterday, it's on steam greenlight. I want to release the game for free on steam.
Oh ,ok. I have to just spend 5 euro on steam (because accounts that haven't buyed anything on steam can't do anything) And then i'll support you on Steam Greenlight.
Thank you very much!
In the modern Version of the game, will you add tanks
Maybe. I delayed the plans, because I want to bring Ancient Warfare 2 to steam first.
Will you still update it here on itch.io?
will you add more levels to the campaign
I will add level bundles with different campaigns
Is this game highly inspired by TABS?
NO! Please note that I created the concept of the game for ludumdare 36 "Ancient technology". I wasn't aware of tabs when I started the development and the only real similarity is that you can just watch the battles. The focus of this game is to actually play a character in different gamemodes.
I was just wondering :P
i love this update i love riding on the elephants and i like the traps and the 2 new maps and the great new units and running and can,t wait to see what you have planed on your upcoming update on jan 25 and thanks for this update :)

I mentioned one or two things I think should be changed in the video ,but I still love this game.
Thank you for sharing! I will watch it this evening to hear your feedback.
will this game have a thing that you can use battles that peeps made
I would like to create something like that, but since the game is for free, I have no money to buy enough server resources.
oh maybe you can put this game on steam and make it cost money or something
Is it just me or is the campaign really hard?
i agree
I want to ask you , dear creator, is there an option to pay with paysafecard on this site? (Not with the card, with the 16-pin coupon) , because i really want to support you :D
Hey mate, thank you for your intention to support me. Unfortunately you can't pay with a paysafecard on itch.io or gamejolt....
Oh, that's a little b shite right here :/
Santa in this new update has to be stronger. Why is he so week and only have a stick? HE IS SANTA! Atleast give him a new weapon thats really strong.
His weapon is an one hit weapon... What weapon would you suggest?
A candy cane...
will you add more edditing for the selfmade maps?

I thought about a tool to allow players to change the height of the terrain. Maybe I will add some more features for map modifications.

Yes, two new biomes will be added in the next update tomorrow.
Will there be any prehistoric maps and some WWI and WWII stuff in the future?
There will be a modern version with content from WWI to future. I haven't thought about maps, but I will do it.

In C#

There will be a modern version with content from WWI to future weapons. So yes, there will be lasers

Nice to hear that. Thank you for sharing your videos.
is this game going to have more weapons
Yes, there is more stuff on the way

geoil
palllettttttte
does armor do stuff or what i don,t know what armor can do in this game
It sometimes protect from projectiles and it will reduce the damage from weapons. It will also stop melee weapons from cutting you into pieces. But all this will just take effect, if the armor is actually hit.
ok now i know
Is that the full version with all units unlocked ?
Yes, it's all unlocked.
In the next update, will you improve the game engine?
I'm using the unity engine and I don't work for unity, so I can't improve the engine...
what game modes do you plan for this game besides king vs king
There are many possibilities.
I have 3 concepts finished on the paper:
Maybe there will something totally different... we will see
out of all i like multiplayer and make the game fun
Hey played this game and had quite a bit of fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmcmQnZyNgE
I play a bunch of indie games so check it out :)
Thank you for sharing. I will join your army!
CAN YOU MAKE A SURVIVAL GAMES ??????
Of course I could, the problem is that I want to finish Ancient Warfare 2 and the modern version first. After that, I will think about my next game.
Are you ever going to make it so you can go back to custom battle editor during the battle? Because it's fustrating at times when for example your trying to make a battle so you start the battle to see how it is so far but you have to wait for the battle to end to go back to the custom battle editor or even go back to the main menu, having to build everything back from scratch
I already added a button in the pause menu for the next update. I was really annoying..
I am not a computer savvy guy but just a grandpa trying to help my 6 year old grandson. He wants to be able to play your game so I downloaded it and then downloaded winrar for 64 bit whatevers. I have an HP model 15-1211wm with windows 10. i dont know how to extract and am totally lost. Can you help me, please. Sincerely, grandpa Pete
It's really easy on windows. You don't need winrar, you can extract it with windows as well. Right click on the downloaded file -> Hover the "open with" entry -> Click on "windows explorer".
A new window should come up with a directiory inside. Drag and drop this directory on the desktop(or another location of your choise).
Close the explorer window.
Open the directiory, which you dragged on the desktop.
Double click the "AncientWarfare2.exe" file to start the game.
Greetings to your grandson!
it wont let me play ancientwarfare2
To be honest, I need some information to help them...
Have you followed the troubleshooting guide?
What is excactly happening?
I don´t know how to enter the game,i click on the program(with a picture of a Blue man and a Red man) and it don't do anything.Please answer. :v
Ok, please make sure, that you extracted the game.
Check the task manager, that there is no process of the game active.
Restart your computer.
If this won't work, I would like to know your system specs(OS, CPU, RAM), maybe you haven't enough free ram.
