i think its great we are getting drafts im glad howrse finally listened to us, they said we would never have them because they are useless and couldn't be used in comps because drafts are not meant for that. we that is just no true anymore drafts are huge in shows now a days they do more then other horses and are even doing better! you have clysdales that are doing cross cuntry as well as speed events and are very popular in dressage! I lov the fact that drafts will be here and am glad howrse is oping there minds up, Congrats howrse team!! default smiley :)

If that were such a pain, we wouldn't have all of these "stick-wings-and-a-horn on my already submitted horse GA coat" creations in the creation space, that are, quite frankly mostly lazy in my opinion.
And the layers have been around at least since 2005 (by my googling of a photoshop CS2 tutorial that has been created in 2005).
So unless they'd been using paint, that wasn't the issue.

I can only answer a couple of these questions, as I can't look some of the stuff up at the moment, because there's a PHP error in the way. default smiley (lol)
Click to display

Regarding drafts: they were not part of the testing, so no info there.
Regarding the production of manure and mashes: A small workshop produces 50 mashes at a time and 100 manure. The time it takes, I can't look up at the moment - I have something along 1 day 2 hours for manure in my head, but that might be off by a bit.
The workshop sizes are small, medium and large. The medium will produce 2 times the amount of items of the small one. The large one will produce 3 times as much. (So: 100 manure, 200 manure and 300 manure respectively)
However, at the moment you can *only* produce that exact number in the workshops, but quite a few people are trying to convince the team to change that to something more flexible.

Thanks for the response. default smiley :)

Based on previous things I've read, I'd have thought there'd be a drop-down selection (like with selecting amount of manure or mash now) to choose an amount to make. Would make sense, in case you only wanted that many or only had enough for that many...

Has anyone tested what the chance of getting a Tub of Grease is?

I'm a bit worried that trying to get a Fala bonus and ToG on a horse at the same time is going to be a lot more difficult after the changes default smiley :s

The horses I tested were practically falling over tubs of grease, so definitely not more difficult default smiley :)





They won't be here until May default smiley :)

Dr Zig, really? I thought they were part of the batch of this update. Will there be any more updates after February and before May?

That's actually pretty good, by May I should be able to save up a decent amount of passes and equus in case the Draught promo requires any!

Drafts will only come out in May so i highly doubt this will be realistic anything soon.

Gwydia - I'm looking forward to it as I think it's going to be VERY entertaining, in a sick, twisted, pathetic way, lol.

These changes are so destructive, so complicated, so time-consuming, and so expensive that I predict the game play forum explodes. The almost 100% negative comments on prepod are going to be dwarfed in comparison, lol.

We don't know what Draughts are going to turn out like. They might be like Divines, with set GP and no ways of adding wings or making teams with them. But if Draught Unis are released, it won't be for some time after normal Draughts come out, because your first uni of any breed can only be bought.

There are negative comments on preprod?

Anilo - Tons of them. Suffice it to say the changes are not going over well but you'll have to judge for yourself.

From page 935,

Click to display

Drafts are not due to come out until May

All we know for sure is this:

(Spoiler encased)
trait
Two draft horse breeds are added to the game!

Draft horse breeds work in the same manner as donkeys, meaning they can breed three times in their lifetime.

They behave the same as other horses (BLUP, competitions, training...).

Mission earnings are twice the earnings of a regular horse: they earn twice as many skill points, twice as many Equus and bring twice as many resources or Equus to the equestrian center.

Players can submit creations for draught horses in the creative space. (Spoiler encased)


All other information; How they look, skills, etc. is unknown at this time and probably won't be known until testing for them starts (Which probably won't be until April at the earliest I'd say)

I'm not a big fan of the EC changes, but I do enjoy the prospects of having drafts coming to the game. If people would just *read* the change log and any FAQ forum posts, I feel like there'd be less drama in the fourms.

Layers were introduced in photoshop 3,0 which was released in like 1994 default smiley :p

The issue was probably more that the older versions of the graphics weren't saved in such a manner that allowed them to be used with layers. It might've been a coding issue or that they didn't have the psd-files for the old graphics which wouldn't surprise me, they seem to have had to do a similar thing that they did to the pre Helios coats with some of the objects/special horses.

I'm the opposite - i like the EC changes as they make the game more realistic however dislike the idea of drafts

with the new changes, its not like we havnt known this for months, we knew this was going to happen and they warned us way ahead of time. Dont act all surprised when the changes come because they let us test them and they were nice enough to give us a timeline to prepare ourselves. most games dont "leak" new upgrades, you just log in and everything is changed. if you dont like them, then quit. you dont have to play. but change is inevitable and it helps the game move forward and be more realistic.
