I get this error:

:arrow: It seems that unit is missing:

And can you please explain what do these functions Enable AMLA and Knalgan Alliance do when TGA Config Mod is enabled, because I don't see any difference in the game?

Also, I see some "unused" units (folder) inside the units folder, why they are not included?

However i find small bugs:
1- On Monsters faction, Young Dune Worm (And Dune Worm on Aoh Monster faction too) cant recruit. Also, i tried moving it and after i wanted to go back to the keep, i noticed it cant move to keeps. (Making dune worm move on keeps & castles should fix it?)
2- Sometimes a message pops up: "error: unit "Merman Stormcaller" does not exist.". Maybe the id is wrong.

And if possible, make a lv1 version of the basilisk for the normal Monsters faction. (Imo, petrifying gaze should be 2-1, as more than 1 gaze would be op for level 1.) I just love that basilisk, petrifying whole armies (even if just for a couple turns xD) RULEZ!!! xD
1-ooops! i will fix that.
2-will take a look

oh, i wanted to add that a while ago, but forgot to remove it. sorry for confusing you, i'll remove this not-working feature.

well, it depends case-by-case. some units are the ones i first wanted to add, but then decided to remove them either due to the low quality of artwork, scrapping the idea, or, in Kensai's case not finished animations. often it is due to the fact that old units are replaced with unit with the same role, but different name.

Hello, i just noticed that the animation of your Dwarvish Cave Runner's melee (with the axe above the head) has a glitch. One frame shows the level 3 Dwarvish Explorer's attack animation instead.

When looking at the code it appears that the Dwarvish Cave Runner's 5th attack sprite is not a sprite of the cave runner at all, but instead of the Explorer.

:D

Hey there!
Glad the Vilkai made it! Hope they're doin' good. :D

One thing I noticed is that the german language is very inconsistent, so if you need help with german translation, I'm happy to help out with it!

well, yes. Remember how many bugs have i reported about them to you? well, now that we are cooperating about the Vilkai, they have become more adequate, and much less buggy. Btw, increase tye cost of the hunter in your era. Main unit is one thing, but an OP one is another.

Well, making translations wasn't my main intention, but if you want to help, then feel free to!

@The_Gnat: glad you like the update :)


btw, if you have any suggestions (i am talking to everybody here) feel free to post them!

Many updates these weeks :-)

I will try it out at some point when I have time. I am happy to see that there are some changes about the void mage. At first, I felt he might be too strong comparing with the arch/great mage line since he only had a small decrease in damage, but then again he also didn't have any huge bonuses... In the end, maybe he just didn't feel different enough to me. I didn't really make up my mind, so I didn't mention it at all - I should play humans at some point ;-)

2000 downloads milestone!

i just noticed that i have 2008 downloads on TGA! i am amazed by how big my fanbase is! even the amount of people on the forum who like my era is very large already, not to mention all the others who have downloaded it.

i am planning to change Guardian of Irdya's name to 'Ancient Faerie', since she's way too weak for her title.

hello everyone! so, i released an addon called 'The Golden Age Singleplayer' it is a tiny add-on whose only purpose is to have a main.cfg file which make units from TGA's units folder appear in any campaign (even mainline ones ;) ). It requires the actual TGA addon to be installed in order to work. to disable it, you just delete the addon. unlike the normal TGA, it doesn't need to be updated to include unit changes, or new units of existing race. you only need to update it if i add a new folder in the 'units' folder

hopefully this addition will make TGA even more popular :)

Later than expected, but I'm here.
Loyalist/Rebels/Drake balance update.

Reworking Carapacian into something more fair and equilibrated costed me really much, so I'm tired, I'm going for some other factions later on. Seems I don't have the vitality I used to have.
Spoiler:
edit1: didn't revise at all lv3 price in carapacian forager, will work on that later...

I haven't been making TGA updates in a while, due to the loss of interest in maintaining the add-on. I decided to release an update with the changes that have slowly piled up over the months. I will most likely not continue to work on TGA, so if someone wants to become a maintainer of TGA, you could probably PM me (I am not really desperate for a maintainer, though, since i don't really care about TGA that much). anyway, changelog:

increased Thundergobo's cost to 15, increased Avian Rhea's damage back to 8-4, removed the 'desperate' ability, since it didn't work, and added the 'inspires' ability instead, fixed Peasant Farmgirl having no portrait, as well as the fact that she had male sounds, added a new sprite for Militiaman, and made him have 23 hp and also unable to advance to Infantryman, added a new portrait for Gryphon Lord, added Dawarf, slightly buffed Crusader and Warden of Light, nerfed Armored Crossbowman's damage, nerfed Horse Archer's resistances, nerfed Chariot line's bow attack, and did some tweaks to War Chariot's melee, and gave it a trample attack, buffed Horse Lord and Dragon Rider. Nerfed Merman Storm Caller, nerfed Mounted Signalman's hp to 32, buffed Elvish Grand Sorceress's fireball to 18-3, changed Elvish's Assassin's bow attack to 11-6, nerfed Elvish Juggernaut's hp, made Elvish Trapper and Elvish Prowler cost slightly less, nerfed Elvish Vanquisher, nerfed Elvish Mage, nerfed Elvish Bowrider and Elvish Cavalry Marksman, Elvish Spearman now costs 15 gold, nerfed Elvish Shielder's resistances, but buffed his ranged attack, nerfed Mermaid Nymph, decreased Merman Spear Master's physical resistances back to 0% and made his ranged attack 11-5 lesser marksman , made TGA copies of Merman Spearman/Javelineer have lesser marksman, but with Merman Javelineer having 9-4 damage, decreased the cost of Great Wisp, Radiant Wisp, and Elvish Treewalker, buffed Elvish Wisp's entangle attack to 8-4, heavily rebalanced every carapace line (it largely involved strongly nerfing them in certain aspects),fixed Naga Marksman being unable to advance, added descriptions to Naga Assassin, changed Exterminator drastically, removed the Vilkai faction, since it caused issues with having the original Vilkai add-on istalled.
