people on boats/castle parts wont move or attack unless they are ranged and if they are they only shoot,so its impossible to do boarding or wall fights.this has been a issue since castles/boats first came.
when putting down units,if a harpoon units weapon touches another weapon,it fires.
sharks don't do anything.idk if there supposed to do nothing,but I think they should attack boats. and eat dead bodys that float in the water.even the sharks jumping out of the water and taking enemys off boats would be cool.
cant place certant units on walls/boats.things such as the ballista,cannon,and other things cant go on those.
when you place down a mortar and probably other things,it doesn't stay on ship and will float in the air.
those are some issues I encountered while playing.love the game still though.
also can you add a lot of new maps in next update?i want to see beach battles really badly.when is next update?
Hi mate, thanks again for all your suggestions and feedback!
People on boats and walls will fallback to a low level mode, which will increase the performance. This mode allows to place many ranged units on walls without cpu impact.
I will check the harpoon bug. Sharks are useless at the moment, they are decorative units, but maybe I will add what you suggested for them.
Ballistas, mortars and animals can't be placed on walls at the moment, because the movement of those kind of units is limited.
I could add height aim to the ballista, so that you can add it on walls. The bugs with ocean battles will be fixed asap.
The next update won't take as much time as the last one and I'm thinking about adding more smaller updates instead of working a month or more on each update...
UPDATE 5 has been released, and I've covered it (and everything that came with it) here in this video! Definitely some great things brought to AW2, but my two personal favourites are the performance increase (runs much better now), AND, the random castle generator! Feel free to take a look :)
Also an idea for two maps and two units that go with it: Grand River with a large river that can fit boats and they shoot at the men on the land. Units: Tribal Member (with a hut) that has a unique spear and animal skin clothes, Tribal Chief with a cane that can bop people in the head. Island, where the boats can board the island and attack from there. Units: (idk)
since its close to St. Patrick's Day,i have an idea for a unit:
leparchaun (or how ever you spell it) (has a pot of gold and he throws many small pieces of gold out of the pot at enemies.and when he kills a enemy,they turn into gold.)
also when are you going to put chariots into the game?
see,when you make a game,before realeasing it,make sure BASIC COMMANDS WORK,i've seen games in earliers states that weren't as instable,with perfect controls of units and where hte menus where FINISHED
1.if you have a bad computer dont blame it on the game
2.You can exit the control menu there is a big X in the top right of the screen
3.You can make a castle defence thing dont be so childish and be like ¨oh this one unit doesn't go on the wall I suppose none of the other units can go either¨
4.Do you suppose that in the ancient world the armies were the most coordinated armies in history and this is a free work in progress game so dont expect the AI to be at the level of all the big companies.
Sorry, but I don't need any help with the project. And if you really want to do game development work, you will need to learn at least one topic (Programming, modelling, concept artist...)
maby necromancers in the game or some unit that summons an army very slowly like one or 2 at a time but deadly in hords and they have a magic blast attack magic
wepons for the player id like that but you dont have to its your game not mine
Have you fixed the bug for Mac which causes the game to get stuck after the game starts? The bug where the game name shows up and then the screen is just stuck?
You don't need to in the next update, but sometime, will you add IronClads? And older subs like the Hunley? And, there is a kind of torpedo called a spar torpedo (The weapon on the Hunley) and it rams ships, and explodes! Can you try to add these?
Sorry but there is still no release date. The release date in game can't be disabled... The next update will release in max. 1-2 weeks, because there are heavy changes in terms of performance, graphics and the ocean battles are not 100% finished yet.
If I wouldn't support direct x9 gpus, the update would be ready tomorrow...
that's a cool idea.im 10 years old and have my own computer even though its not very good I'm still older then you :P also you had caps on if you didn't know when you made that comment.
I ligit love this game and thank you so much jni but i am like a type of fan who likes muskets if you could i would be very happy if you added a musket unit i love it already but i am just asking.

I love the new update!put there are a few issues:
people on boats/castle parts wont move or attack unless they are ranged and if they are they only shoot,so its impossible to do boarding or wall fights.this has been a issue since castles/boats first came.
when putting down units,if a harpoon units weapon touches another weapon,it fires.

also can you add a lot of new maps in next update?i want to see beach battles really badly.when is next update?
I second beach battles. Land and sea maps are a must.

Thanks for sharing you video. I posted it on twitter as a reference for the new update-
Much appreciated, mate :))
AWESOME
I have a bug! All of the units get in a massive ball! It makes ranged battles boring :( Please fix!
Thanks! ~Sean
wish I had popcorn a coke and elevator music lol.after school it has to be up.
7:40 am eastern time here and still no update.
It's uploaded since 3 hours...
is the update out yet? It's 9:50 pm western time.
No yet :(
Either he's lazy/forgot, his internet is slow, or itch.io hasn't approved of the update yet
Yeah...
Time zones are useless... The update will be out in about 4 hours
you should put in a thing that shows times for other places, not just UTC.im in EST and I have no idea what 12:00 am UTC is.
Just google it, it'll show UTC time! :D
ya that's what I did.
It should be up rn, right?
I think,dunno for sure though. guess we will find out tomorrow.
I'm gonna stay up all night to wait lol
so when is update? just asking
tomorrow, 12am UTC
I finally finished the level bundle and set a new personal record in gladiator arena!
1v1 me bro!
if jumping was aded will there be fall damege
No. Maybe I will add that later
Whats the name of the menu song? Also AWSOME game. I love it.
It's Rapture from Ross Bugden. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vja87ZXejyk
How to get in firstperson ?
The default key is 'c'
Why cant i download the story of lords bundle? i keep clicking the button download btw nothing happens
There is a bug on mac os, so you have to wait for the next update next week.
how do you download the story of the lords i can't
thanks
There is a bug on mac os, so you have to wait for the next update next week.
the lord units should have powers or abilities because they are lords
JNI, how do you fix the version on mac? Also did you publish ocean battles yet?
I mean is the ocean battles in experimental or are they going to be released on steam?
(JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE BATTLES COME OUT IN A WEEK SORRY)
Also an idea for two maps and two units that go with it: Grand River with a large river that can fit boats and they shoot at the men on the land. Units: Tribal Member (with a hut) that has a unique spear and animal skin clothes, Tribal Chief with a cane that can bop people in the head. Island, where the boats can board the island and attack from there. Units: (idk)
I have thought about something like that, too and I think this is something for future updates.
will there just be maps with water or is it placeable?
It would be a water map with procedural generated islands
keep up the good work jni i hopeto see a good game
I love the leprechaun!it looks so cool.all it needs now is a green hat and a brown beard! this update is gonna be awesome.
since its close to St. Patrick's Day,i have an idea for a unit:
leparchaun (or how ever you spell it) (has a pot of gold and he throws many small pieces of gold out of the pot at enemies.and when he kills a enemy,they turn into gold.)
also when are you going to put chariots into the game?
That's a good idea! I'm doing it right now.
I don't know then I will add chariots to the game. The priority is on ocean battles at the moment.
Since its ancient warfare please dont add like modern planes but if you can please make archimedee's plane and helicopter.
and will the ships in ocean battles be platforms or units itd be cool to be able to add additional units on ships.
Yes, youcan place units on ships, but they will work without them, too.
And I won't add modern stuff to this game, but there will be a spin off.
Can I get the experimental?
Which experimental? The spin off is not available at the moment and the ocean battles will be added next week. There is no experimental version.
Cool JNI you did created zombies it very cool now and this time this game will be a left 4 ancient 2
thx for adding it in!cant wait to see it.
thx for adding it in! cant wait to see it.
first of all:this is fucking glitchy as hell...we can't exit the damn CONTROL MENU
2:when i saw "custom battle" i though i could make a castle defence thing...and then...we can't fucking spawn units on the walls
3:so fucking unstable
4THE FUCK ARE THOSE FIGHTS?
first of all: it is still being worked on so of course its going to be glitchy
second you can spawn units on walls except for some of the newer units
third again,its still being worked on
fourth the dev is working on the fighting system.again,its still work in progress.
see,when you make a game,before realeasing it,make sure BASIC COMMANDS WORK,i've seen games in earliers states that weren't as instable,with perfect controls of units and where hte menus where FINISHED
It's called early access and it's to show an idea and develop the game based on the ideas and feedback of the community!
No one force you to play it while it's in early access....
HEY
1.if you have a bad computer dont blame it on the game
2.You can exit the control menu there is a big X in the top right of the screen
3.You can make a castle defence thing dont be so childish and be like ¨oh this one unit doesn't go on the wall I suppose none of the other units can go either¨
4.Do you suppose that in the ancient world the armies were the most coordinated armies in history and this is a free work in progress game so dont expect the AI to be at the level of all the big companies.
@sohovapottu
You are right! Of course I will have to do improvements, but I'm a solo developer, so the development is a bit slower...
And yes, I will improve the AI behaviour soon, but the concept of the game is minimalistic, so they won't behave like elite warriors.
im no game dev but i want to help update even if im no game dev
Sorry, but I don't need any help with the project. And if you really want to do game development work, you will need to learn at least one topic (Programming, modelling, concept artist...)
like the game im actually wantingto be a game dev when i become olderor a youtuber
maby necromancers in the game or some unit that summons an army very slowly like one or 2 at a time but deadly in hords and they have a magic blast attack magic
wepons for the player id like that but you dont have to its your game not mine
There will be fantasy unit, so maybe I will add necromancers, too.
I't dosent work
실행이 안돼요
Have you fixed the bug for Mac which causes the game to get stuck after the game starts? The bug where the game name shows up and then the screen is just stuck?
All starting bugs will be fixed with the next update.
i think u need to fix the swing animations and make a first person mode
their is a first person mode press c.
You don't need to in the next update, but sometime, will you add IronClads? And older subs like the Hunley? And, there is a kind of torpedo called a spar torpedo (The weapon on the Hunley) and it rams ships, and explodes! Can you try to add these?
Thanks for your suggestions, I will add more ships in the next updates, but I don't want to add too new ships. The Icon clads sounds good.
Thanks!
I cant wait for tomorrow!
what happens tomorrow
the next update.well should be the next update.
Sorry but there is still no release date. The release date in game can't be disabled... The next update will release in max. 1-2 weeks, because there are heavy changes in terms of performance, graphics and the ocean battles are not 100% finished yet.
If I wouldn't support direct x9 gpus, the update would be ready tomorrow...
oh ok.
MAKE A BATTERING RAM ALSO IM A 9 YEAR ON MY MOMS COMPUTER
that's a cool idea.im 10 years old and have my own computer even though its not very good I'm still older then you :P also you had caps on if you didn't know when you made that comment.
Keep up the good work! :)
I will :)
the ancient Romans used a kind of Harpoon to tear the seals of their enemies ships
Will we see a weapon like this in Ancient Warfare 2?
If so that would be rally awesome
That's a really cool idea, I will think about it and maybe you will see it in the next update.
I ligit love this game and thank you so much jni but i am like a type of fan who likes muskets if you could i would be very happy if you added a musket unit i love it already but i am just asking.
Muskets are on my list.
I gotta make a new video on this soon :p
