A while ago, we posted some statistics about our melee units. Since Swords & Soldiers is a strategy game, the most fanatic gamers will probably want to see more of those, and behold, today your dinner is served!

The entire game is controlled by some 600 numbers that define all the strengths and weaknesses of each unit, and today we show the settings for the entire Aztec army. To keep this post from being too long, these are just those for the Poison Cloud spell. I will post the rest of the Aztec settings in the forum topic at the link below!

aztec_poisonCloud_width = 3
aztec_poisonCloud_cloudDuration = 4
aztec_poisonCloud_poisonDuration = 6
aztec_poisonCloud_damagePerSecond = 8
aztec_poisonCloud_walkSpeedMultiplier = 0.4
aztec_poisonCloud_price = 65
aztec_poisonCloud_coolDownTime = 15
aztec_poisonCloud_upgradePrice = 120
aztec_poisonCloud_upgradeTime = 10

If you have any questions about what certain settings do, then go ahead and ask about them in the forum topic.

So, have fun! What interesting lessons can be learned from these settings?

Good that's not my school report

so many numbers.
what's that healthx/y thing and the supergiant thing?

_________________
Imma be here and there and everywhere.

Yes, so many numbers!

The healthYPos is the height of the healthbar above the feet of a character. It's purely visual. The healthXPos is the same thing, but horizontal, because the tower doesn't have its healthbar exactly above it.

The supergiant is for the aztec level where you have to fight a single giant. He is just a normal giant, but with more health.

uh... why do the skeletons cost 25? 25 of what?

Wow, that's a sharp question!

I looked it up and that setting is not used anywhere in the game. I think the amount of mana you got from sacrificing a unit was originally calculated based on the price of a unit, so a skeleton needed to have a price to calculate how much mana it would give if it was sacrificed. In the end we changed the formula to something else and I forgot to remove the skeleton's price setting.

Gamers r also smart people, that's why we like 2 help

If you would know how far the mines are from the base, and the how many workers work in the one mine and in the other, you can calculate speed at which you generate gold and you could, like, calculate Sun-Giant rushes or something, like AoE

I feel like I just received some kind of secret recipe.

Could we possibly be seeing the other factions as well

EDIT: Also, what unit of time are these in?
