More good news, everyone! It's been a while since atWar had any new content, so today we'd like to introduce an idea for a new type of unit - buildings! There are two crucial differences from regular units: they can't move (duh!) and you cannot build more than one of the same kind in one city. Here are the buildings we have for starters:

  • Recruitment Center: gives the city 3 extra reinforcements per week
  • Forifications: +1 defence to all city troops (similar to General)
  • Radar Array: 150 view range, helps to see what your neighbours are doing and catch stealth units
  • Anti-air Defences: 20 defence against air units
  • Coastal Battery: 20 defence against naval units (former rare unit)
  • Bank: -10 upkeep for every unit in the city NEW

    All buildings cost 700, have 20 hit points, 0 attack (duh!) and 1 defence. All of them are also discoverable in captured cities, similar to rare units. Unlike rare units, you'll still have to pay for their upkeep.

    It's currently possible to build/find Coastal Battery in non-port cities, this is a known issue and will be fixed later.

    Before we introduce buildings to the live server, let's get them some thorough testing at https://atwar-game-test.com!

    Feedback and tweak suggestions are welcome. I know you'll want to give suggestions on their mechanics as well, but at the moment we won't be able to change that, sorry. Here's the list of things that can be tweaked (useful if you want to suggest new buildings as well):

    Own stats:
  • Max. defence
  • View range
  • Cost
  • Critical hit chance
  • HP
  • Stealth

    Increasing other units stats (all or a particular unit)
  • Same list as own stats

    Defence:
  • Extra defence against certain units

    Special:
  • Extra reinforcements in the city

    Please note that we'd like to keep things like attack, defence, cost and HP uniform for all buildings. As you can see, you can't do that much with these limited tweakable things, but hopefully we'll be able to add new mechanics at some point later.

    Remove turn cost for buildings... they should be expensive but a one-time cost (low maintanance)


    No, it's fine.
    It will reduce building spam, especially in competitive Europe+ games. You'll need to be wise where and which building to buy (build).

    My idea for a building unit...

    Market
    Markets would cost the same as any building, but would have a negative upkeep, ergo giving the player income in the long run. This would allow players to focus some of their cities on economy, giving them more money to fight on the frontlines. The amount of negative upkeep is something to be considered, I have ideas like -70 or -100, requiring 10 or 7 turns to make their money back respectively.This would transform Africa combat, just like the recruitment centers are going to transform Balkan combat.

    Fascinating ideas! I like the concept, overall, and the examples you are testing seem sound. Thanks for the new dimension to the game!!

    A few thoughts from someone who loves units (and atWar) and has had some success with various World Map clones supplementing the standard unit list:

    ~ there are already AA units, so I don't see the point in having another AA-type unit, unless 1) you plan on removing the existing AA guns from the unit list, or 2) the AA buildings would have higher defense for something like missiles.

    ~ the radar sounds like a neat idea, but the range sounds pretty large to me. In my clones, I set the Spy Satellite (air rare) to 50R and 200V, and that 200 view is seriously OP when it comes to stealth detection radius! At face value, being able to build 150 view range in any city for "only" 700 cash is alarming. By contrast, with the cheap support upgrade, you can get Sentry Planes for 350 each (60 view) and cover more ground in the open areas between the stealth radii of your defense lines around your cities. What is your rationale for making the radar range so large? Are radar installations that more effective in real life than reconnaissance aircraft in terms of detection radius? I would recommend no more than maybe 100 view for a radar installation.

    ~ as others have posted, I would fully support a Market or Bank or some sort of Commerce Building that would have negative maintenance costs, so that it would be effectively a modest source of additional income.

    ~ it would be potentially great to be able to claim an opponent's building as yours if you conquer a city that has a building in it.

    That's all I can think of for now. I should try the test map and see how it goes.

    I think it would be really nice if we could make something related to transport,its very annoying how unconnected you can be with the more sparsely populated areas,and lose them easily to a concentrated attack,for example russia will always lose far east to lets say japan,even tho in real life it would move units from its population centers to the far east to fight,and i don't think carriages (or other land transport in custom maps) are a good solution,because in real life you can move units(or anything else really) along highways and railways,that are expensive and cover 1 rout(you shouldn't just make a train unit that lets you move units anywhere,but rather make an infrastructure building-road or railway that links 2 cities and lets you move units faster)

    08.12.2017 - 19:23
    So,what i would suggest is that you can build a railway link between 2 cities,and get bonus movement range for any unit you move from one city to the other

    Fortifications is OP. Imp/GW Ukraine will receive a lot of attention with this building.

    Most of these buildings improve defence which rewards a very defensive playstyle.
    This might hurt game dynamics, as it makes "turtling" easier.

    Recruitments center is a fresh idea, I like that. should be added.

    Radar is good too, its similar to the sentry plane ( no it doesent spot marines in a huge range, it just lifts the fog)
    here is its actuall range in which it can spot stealths:


    About the forts, we see them all the time in scenarios its nothing new as an unit, it probably needs a balance, don't think its good in its current form.
    but yeah add them to the live server we could test them in games and see how all of them preform, then we can decide.

    Added Bank building, it currently reduces upkeep of every unit in the city by 10.

    Great idea. Supported.
    Another idea i have is the classic starcraft idea and upgraded units. Like you make a research facility and have it research a troop type that leads to improvements of the troop. I don't know how the coding would work etc, but if there was a way that i could go GW, make an expensive research facility to upgrade my militia/marines, i think it would help people with strong money skills scale well into the late game. Just a thought. For example make this research facility a "city" that's 5k to make, and every time you want to upgrade a troop, you have to put x dollars money down research grant, and wait x turns for the research to be completed, and implemented.

    I personally would make it not included on a city, rather it's own city that after it is destroyed, your troops go back to normal/ the research that has been completed. This would add more complication to defending, since you have to defend your capital and this facility. Plus would promote multi-front attacks. To avoid issues, you can only destroy this facility, not hijack it.

    Perhaps the city with the research facility rocks a triangle, while the normal cities are circles, and your capital rocks the flag.

    I feel like ( Buildings) could foreshadowing one of the new strategies ( Scorched Earth). Imagine that building are special unit that can be captured -by conquering enemy city- and strategies like scorched earth may allowed player to destroy all the building in the next following turn- In order to not let enemy get a hold of it. Also I wonder if a Unit's collateral damage may give a certain chance that a building may be destroy when taking an enemy city. This could make a dynamic change to the play style of the game.

    I think you should never change them being destroyed.Because if my opponent wants to troll or he is just stupid he will spam buildings in all his cities giving me upkeep i didnt ask for and buildings i might not need at all.

    Why your opponent would want to troll you? If I'm your opponent, and I'm losing my land, I'll try to make you as miserable as I can so I can beat you, and that is a perfectly valid strategy, it makes perfect sense to let you as much burden as I can in my former territory
