Re: The Great Steppe Era (1.16 add-on server)
The 1.4.6 update for GSE is out, mainly focused on improving Triumvirate, especially in the late game where the faction wasn't as strong as we'd like compared to other factions, especially in survivals.

-improved fighter/apprentice sprites
-architect now has a magical tools alt. attack
-architect now has damage/repair AMLAs, but no longer has hiding spot/library AMLAs (since bard AMLA has those buildings' abilities now anyway)
-outpost/fortress are now upkeepless
-blessed beacon/divine radiance are now upkeepless
-blessed beacon/divine radiance now have more healing - +8/+12 instead of +6/+8
-ravenblade AI is now slighty smarter (can use raven form to flee)

Re: The Great Steppe Era (1.16 add-on server)
Ogre Crusaders (playable both in singleplayer and multiplayer) and Deeds of Sir Swine (singleplayer only). Both campaigns are mainly about the Ogre Kingdom faction.
I recommend asking Mechanical about that, since he is more heavily involved with making faction lore.hermestrismi wrote: ↑December 11th, 2023, 8:57 pm Is there a timeline for the major races (history, powerful kings, ...)

Re: The Great Steppe Era (1.16 add-on server)
I'm currently working on a massive graphical improvement to the Great Steppe units. I started with the Bull Tumen, as it is the first faction and its art is the oldest. My goal is to make the scales brighter, more saturated and with fewer colors, as well as to fit the sprites into 72x72 format and get rid of gigantism.

Re: The Great Steppe Era (1.16 add-on server)
Is there like a manual or guide for what each unit does in this, without playing the game directly? I really enjoy reading up on units.wesnoth.org about different abilities of different units in different campaigns, and GSE is famous (to me) for being one of the most complex and good-looking multiplayer factions. But on units.wesnoth.org there's a lot of 'dummy' in the abilities and it doesn't describe what the units actually do. So where can I find that?

Dummy abilities are mostly dummy faction abilities like "khaganatefaction", since it is relevant for some code.

Re: The Great Steppe Era (1.16,1.18 add-on server)
Hi FD! Thanks for bringing this great add-on to the game! I love it.
However I think there are some issues with the lua conflict during my game. Please see the attached pic.
![Image](https://steamcommunity.com/id/patzzzz/screenshot/2468610439974706171/)
https://steamcommunity.com/id/patzzzz/s ... 974706171/
Additionally, the game was dragged very, very, very slow during some battles with bigger maps....I don't know if it's the new units from this add-on or something else....

Glad you like it! The era is a team effort with me, Mechanical, Kordov, catbegemot and Bolyarich.

The era has custom AI code to make AI able to use some of the new abilities, so that might be what is slowing things down.
