Request your easy mod in this topic and I will host a downloadable version. I'm doing this just in case some people don't feel like implementing the code, which can be found in this forum section or missed them entirely.

something is wrong with the files

All of them? Code is wrong? You can't download them? Do you use the last hotfix for the game? Do you put them in your Units folder? Maybe they don't work right in other folders, I always use them there.

 

Roads one, sovereigns regenerating more mana and diplomacy one weren't tested thoroughly. The rest do work at least for me.

 

One more file, City lvlupbonuses, now you can upgrade food, prestige and there's a new bonus that exchanges gold for materials+metal+crystals (for example lvl 2 city with this gets -3 gold, +1 material, +1 metal, +1 refyned crystal):

edit: tested basic races, regenerating 3 mana per strategic turn, it works for altar. Did the same change for everyone so it should be ok.

tested diplomacy mod, no longer getting money on peace treaties, in any case the other way round:

the diplomacy one, doesn't work indeed... I will put that one down, thanks for the feedback =)

For the deity difficulty, I recommend lowering the economic multiplier. It applies to ALL resource gathering, including tech, arcane and food. The Ai will outdistance you like you wouldn't believe. To make things slightly worse, the higher the AI is in a resource, the less he's interested in trading for it. If he has abundant amounts of all resources, there's literally no way whatsoever for the player to use diplomacy with the AI.

Added a third middle level, it's the same as deity, but economic multiplier is only 9 instead of 20. Thanks for the feedback, seems you're really experienced with tweaking the difficulties.

Same file name, to not confuse people looking at other posts:

yes i very much understand that was a vague post :(

 

when i click the links it links the actual xml from the file not a downloadable version, was that intended?

EviliroN, you have several options:

- right click on the link and select "Save linked content as", then you will download it

- open the file as you did then save the file as xml from your browsers menu (in many of them the hotkey is "Control+s")

- use a download manager, depending of how it's configured, you only need to copy the link and it will add to the download list automatically (you can try jdownloader for example)

- just copy the text in the xml and paste it into a file you create

 

You will need to place the xmls in the Units sub-folder  from your Elemental folder in personal documents.

for example the route for me (using win7) would be:

C:\Users\xiwi\Documents\My Games\Elemental\Units

 

Let me know is you still have problems ;)
