Neetpia releases Age of Ethanols - Trial version and will release full at C80!
Helepolis:
Ye the path finding is indeed something that is still dodgy.
About the building not being able to finish a unit if surrounded -> good find! I could swear in regular Age of Empires the unit would still spawn and able to walk along the building side.
Have you been able to beat the AI stuffman? Because man, even on easy mode I have hard time killing them. They rebuild so fast that it is kind of hopeless to fight.
Stuffman:
I'm messing around in practice mode to find out what everything does first.
Basic overview:
Red fairies are melee, I think the passive upgrade from the library gives them evasion.
Blue fairies have the longest range. They are the slowest though.
Green fairies are shorter range, but they get spread attacks. They cost faith though which is the hardest resource to mass IMO.
I think the fairies have a weapon triangle, I think it goes red>blue>green>red.
At Hard mode you can also build spellbook units from spell circles.
Red books are like battering rams, they are melee and they kill buildings hella fast. Useless against units though.
Green books are like ballista, they shoot a piercing projectile that does tons of splash damage to units.
Blue books are all-purpose siege units, they do AOE damage to both buildings and units. Their projectile is rather slow though.
There's also some sort of ultimate black book you can build from the town hall, but you have to spend a few minutes just researching it in Lunatic...I can't tell what it does, though! It looks like it has some kind of huge aura.
Also of note is that armor in this game seems to be a ratio rather than a flat number. So if something has 0.5 piercing armor, that means it takes half damage from piercing attacks.
SDM Hero abilities:
Sakuya has Private Square, which gives her infinite move speed for a while. Note that this combined with the pathfinding causes her to spaz out when you try to move her somewhere she can't easily find a way in, such as through enemy walls. This looks very glitchy and should be looked at.
Remilia has Gungnir, it does damage in a line.
Flandre has Laevatein, which causes her to do huge damage in an arc in front of her.
Still messing around with other factions.
Each of these is on a cooldown, but you can expend resources to use the ability even if it's on cooldown!

Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin:
I keep misreading this as "Nepeta." On that note:

Helepolis:
How about a game tomorrow then, a 2v2 or something. Hime , Acidus, Stuffman Helepolis ??
I'll be on IRC for it tomorrow (after my morning RLstuff)
