Roxas: Sorry forgot about this. Painting terrain does not disable lush - it acts like it is still there. In facts on the next lush update it will actually update the lush to match the new terrain type.

However you can allow building on lush by changing the movement type of the building to air.

Thanks nottud. I'd been playing around with the lush just to see how it all worked, your confirmation ties in with what I'f found.

I'm assuming the lush is hardcoded to gaia?

Imagine if you could sneak a trigger in to make any unit/building generate any terrain type you could end up with some nice evil building sfx.

In combination with v/y triggers I think that would be possible.

Definitely - the main annoyance would be tracking the radius painted for each building already which I guess could use qvs.

What is the difference between Army in LOS and Army Visible to Player?

In LOS - What is says on the tin, so if any of your units can 'see' the enemy unit.
Visible to player - Whether the current player's screen is actually looking at the unit.

My friends and I play as a group of 5 vs 3 or 4 titan AI on a random map.

Does anyone know of a scenario or custom map that we can try that would accomodate 5 human players and 3 AI?

Look for custom Random Maps in download section of the site.

Anyone know of any editor tool to rotate objects sideways slowly (eg, in a more controlled fashion than just clicking screen arrow)? Don't know if there is a precise tool out there.

Also is it possible to shrink more than one object at a time?

Kronny is the solution for both of these things.

Thanks!

Hi. In the Trigger Request Thread (TRT) I red the following:

Can I request anything?
Although we can do a lot with today's knowledge, there are still limitation we won't ever get around. So if you think of a cool new trigger, make sure to post a request but don't forget you might get a negative reply. Commonly requested triggers that are not possible include (but are not limited to):

• Modify Unit: change the stats of 1 particular unit.
  
• Change Playername
  
• Change Major God
  
• Transform ALL units on map for player
  
• I'll add more when I think of them.
  

... But the ability to change the stats of 1 particular unit is precisely critically what I would like to have in order to play this game! I want any unit to be able to have their stats upgraded as they kill other units.

Why isn't this possible?

If this cannot be made by triggers, is there any other way to do so? Is there a simple way to mod the game so that this happens?

All the best!

Ironically Transform ALL units on map for player is actually now possible with patch 2.8 but for you that doesn't help.

I do know a way to give a different lifespan and LOS to a particular unit but I don't know a way to do it with any other stat.

Not only can you not modify protounit a specific unit, you can also not tell when a specific unit kills another unit, only player kills.

So yeah, it's over.

...

...or is it?

*music plays*

Age of Mythology is home to a mysterious hydra that changes appearance and attack when killing. After investigations and testings, the following conclusions have been unearthed.

First off, DragonQ's tooltip that each Additional Head gives +100% Base Damage is straight up boogoo. Hydra's ability is more like +15% Damage per kill. So after 3 kills, when the second head appears, it's not even getting half the base damage bonus.
This ability is caused by the ExperienceUnit flag. In addition to the +15% Damage, the unit also receives +9 experience per kill, regardless of how strong the killed unit was. This experience is then used by the animation to determine how many heads to show.
Now I don't know the game code, but if I were you I would ask WarriorMario to make us a trGetUnitExperience function for the next patch.

Fun fact: Did you know there is a third unit, besides Hydra and Scylla, that increases attack with kills? The Servant. I couldn't find this mentioned anywhere, but it's true. Place a Servant in editor and his attack goes up with each kill. Their history page says they can't fight well, so I guess the poor guys must be trying to prove it wrong XD

@Nickonhawk

Thanks for this tip. That's actually interesting to know.

Another thing that comes straight out of the game mechanics is the empowering effect by Einherjars or chinese Generals. They affect specific units differently. Perhaps there is a way to use this mechanism to our advantage?

I don't think attack boost affects specific units differently.

At a certain point in time, on the map, we have different unit of the same type and for the same player having different stats tho, through this effect.

The fenris effect is more suitable for this as it's constant. Even more suitable is the garrison boost from units like Helepolis that get more attack with each unit they contain.

But how can you tell when a unit kills another? With triggers you can tell a unit's target, so you could make a system where when an enemy dies all units that were targeting it are upgraded. Does that work for you?

Goodmorning everyone.
I am an old aot player (I have been playing since around 2004) and I remember always playing a scenario where one person started with many guardians and 4-5 people had to take refuge with rocs, build a civilization and try to destroy the guardians (which meanwhile they had to destroy the walls of Troy).

Anyone can remind me what this type of scenario is called and if they are downloadable on this site?

Thank you so much

Probably an Escape variation. Just search Escape in the downloads section and try to find one that matches your description.

The scenario sounds more like Cat and Mouse than Escape.

Yeah probably is cat n mouse. I will download some scenary and test them later on.
I remember 15 years ago playing it the whole day lol. it was a lot of fun

so this is nottud the legend of aom...probabably played some of ur scenary aswell 10 years ago lol

Yes you likely did - I am still making maps. I think you were in my new Gladiator Worlds game the other night.

Hey everyone can anyone explain how to grant resources for multiple kills. I should also mention that its for units that would not be on screen yet. much like a tower defence scenario. Ive tried going into tower defence modes to figure out how its done but none of them are in english so it makes it hard to fallow.
