It's under the category of Modders beware and deal with the system. Surprise they may change it at any moment like the most recent tech change, we can now add things to techs.

Is it possible to mod population consumption based on number of troops in a produced stack? For example I want to produce a unit that consists of three men, so I want that 3 population should be taken from the city where I produce this unit. I tried to insert some colculated values based on number of troops but it didn't work. May be I made something wrong or may be this isn't possible?

Thank you very much! It works interestingly. If I paste this code to any unit, it works like for pionners 1 for each pack of figures in the unit. But when I place this code into anybody's blood (!) this works for each figure in the pack. If I have both codes in blood and in unit, they multiply and summ. So to give pioneers 30 population, I set 9 in the unit code and set 1 for blood code. As result 3 figures x 9 plus 3 x 1 from blood code = 27 + 3 = 30.

I answered my own question. It works if you set blood traits as prerequisites, although I'm surprised it does.

Yep. It was like the 5th thing I tried. Directly using the race or the model didn't work. I was wondering of I could give every race a different general tree but that seemed impossible, and then after looking at how paths worked I decided to try blood traits and amazingly enough it worked. I would have bet against it.

Works for me, I have multiple traits that occupy the same space on the General trait tree but only show up for different races.  The below ability won't show up on other races trait trees at all.

What are you seeing?

Not sure what is happening there but it's probably a weird result from having so many prerequisites and/or editing an existing trait. I am just using the mod folder and adding completely new traits and it works fine.

Well it works for me.

Both these pics are taken from the same game.

First of all, merry Xmas everyone ^^

So, in keeping with the spirit of the day, I'm playing around with the undead faction and it's traits.

I was trying to modify the 3 unique buildings that set the pop cap for the undead, and make the first or second one give 1 growth to the city if built, or something along the lines.

Thing is, I'm unable to find where in the xml files are those buildings defined.. I'm sure I checked the dlc04 files more than 10 times each, what am I missing?

EDIT: Of course, figures. As soon as I give up and make this post, I find out that not all dlc04 xmls are in the same folder. Gah. Sorry ^^;

So,am I correct that adding this to the building will make it give +1 growth? (still called prestige, wow)

Oh, and I should state that this is the first time I do anything like this, so I'm very unfamiliar with LH data structure, so apologies in advance if I'm being obnoxious. :]

Hmm, something is wrong here. I added the above lines to the Mausoleum right under the graves gamemodifier, but it did not give +1 growth to the city when I tested this.. Any ideas as to what might have gone wrong?

Here is the full Mausoleum code

(This is in DLC04_improvements.xml)

With the most recent version, we are allowed to modify techs, adding techs is not possible (without overwriting core files).

These are game item types, which overwrite and do not take modifications. (Do not redo the artdefs, otherwise you will have the double mount problem)
