Empires Script's Redone Test Sunday 31st 20:00 bst

Awhile ago i found some scripts while going though some old stuff from a couple years ago that were never really finished. I never actually got a chance to test them on a large scale i did however test with a few people. If you are interested please join this group for more details about upcoming tests. These are based on 2.6.9 the time when nothing could actually be push because of the push server was broken. I will attempt to play a normal round of empires with these scripts however i need about 20 people to do that. I finally get to test like 2 years later....

There are way too many changes to list so here is the general idea

Changes and tweaks include
Redone infantry combat
Better recoil
Redone version of the engineer smg's
minimum damage falloff of 10 for all infantry weapons
slight tweaks on all weapons
redone bear
redone spread patterns on some weapons
an overall better feel to the infantry weapons
Infantry resists - gren = 25% scout = 25% rifleman = 10% engineer = 15%
scout is now the close range class
tweaks to the rpg that include a faster projectile moving speed and a closed aiming reticle when moving
Scoped rifle rework

vehicle combat changes
All of the existing missile weapons redone to make them alot easier to use
4 new light tank weapons to make the early game tank combat alot more interesting
All of the existing mg's redone
every anti tank mg now have an apc hmg version this includes bio hmg and he hmg
be meds and nf meds can now carry the same amount of weapons and Armour to them more balanced
Cost of base tank chassis and armor reduced (tanks to be made cheaper and tanks being easyer to kill)
Armours
Regen - 70 hp - 10 cpp - 15 weight - regenerates - take more damage from bio weapons
Compo - 90 hp - 20 cpp - 15 weight - takes 20% less damage from weapons - 10% rpg resist
Reflective - 80 hp - 10 cpp - 15 weight - angle modifier
Reactive - 100 hp - 10 cpp - 15 weight - takes 20% more damage from gren rpg's
aluminium(plain) - 40 hp - 5 cpp - 10 weight
absorbent - 80 hp - 10 cpp - 15 weight - takes less damage from faster projectiles (cannons)
The whole idea is for every Armour to have a positive and negative then comp to become like it was in the past the strongest Armour in the game however to most expensive

Planned changes
A upgrade for the grenidier rpg to make it more viable later on in the game EG damage upgrade
New smoke grenade particle effect (zooms smoke effect that is sexy as fuck)
Conncusion grenade = EMP grenade
Grenadier specific sidearms - Burst pistol for NF - Machine pistol for BE

If you do attended this test please provide feedback it is key.
Please not this test is not official
THESE SCRIPTS ARE BASED OF 2.6.9 Credit goes to the previous scripter trickster that these changes are based off.

 

Is this official empires test or just random spikes ego test?

 

It was stuff that i was going to test years ago when candles was still around however i never got the chance because of when all that shit happened. Also paradox how many times do i have to tell you im not spike im scar. I don't really have much of an ego anymore.

 

lol okeeee "scaaaar"
lol
I dun even

 

talking about people with ego's paradox can you actually lead whiskey in the league game as theres no one else to do it and i had to do it last time...

 

ill play this saturday yes

 

i never this this very often but i fucking love you paradox

 

fuck off spike

 

</3

 

This is not official.

Yeah, this title and how its placed under "Events" are pretty misleading.

 

all of the fucking infantry weapons are too goddamn good, completly no recoil
but the feel of smg2 was breddy good
and pinpoint shooting pistols are shit, the same with autoaiming rpg (the faster projectile was actually good)
resists were too big, the enemy armor was literally eating bullets
armors were nice, rails felt even too powerful, but balanced
mk1 auto was shit, too small dmg to kill anything, but the mk1 bio was pretty good, and could be too good with tactic to block enemy rax entrances (because it's very fast research prob)
blimps when

 

thanks for the feedback for the small scale test earlier avatrix hopefully we will get alot more people in this test so everything can be tested alot more thoroughly

 

i won't be able to be on the next test then

 

yeah the mk1 auto is abit shitty if you don't land all the shots :< 25 dmg per shot if you land all 3 its 75 dmg

 

thats when the light tank weapons are from https://forums.empiresmod.com/index.php?threads/afew-more-light-tank-weapons-yes-or-no.19661/

 

Been helping test these over last few weeks, its a lot more interesting to have new weapons for lights to give early research trees a bonus.
Overall the smgs are way more satisfying and ML's for tanks are a lot easier to use which helps NF out compared to BE's fast dual point and click cannons.

Still needs balancing overall but a good step in the right direction.

 

As long as it is the right direction then thats good.

 

Thanks for the feedback vulcan i fucking love you

 

I think its based off 2.6.9 however alot of it is completely different.
