I liked your old beta thread about this stuff, I think it really gave some good insight into the problems. Hopefully you can do the same here and Stardock can use them to really improve the interface. Your suggestions are pretty helpful and constructive. Kinda sucks about the building construction, I liked seeing the beta queue. It kinda is TBS 101 to display what your doing with little or no effort. Lastly, Stardock really NEEDS to implement a "Skip to next free unit" button.

I believe you can also increase unit veterency levels, thus, adding more hitpoints. Actually, Asharak explained it quite well.

You can achieve this in two ways: the tech that unlocks larger parties (i.e., a troop of four peasants have four times the HP of a troop of one) or the tech that allows better training of your soldiers (this does, direct

Good point with the comparison to RTW. However, even in RTW you could improve their weapons and armor slightly (with blacksmiths and armorers).

You CANNOT be loading an existing game or a savegame if you want to see any changes. Start fresh. I don't think we were being clear enough. I hope you understand this now.

I bet this is on Stardock's "To-Do" list... I hope it is. Was kinda hoping this would be a possibility. At least they actually level up now!

Faction modding REALLY isn't too difficult to mod. There is a modding guide in the "Mod" forums. Download Notepad ++, look up the guide, and make your custom faction. It literally took me 10-15 minutes (including testing) to create my "Kingdom of Lordaeron". Good luck!

Crap, I just noticed they added nice little icons for each Perfession, Talent, and Weakness. What size are those icons and where do they show up? I've got some work ahead of me for my Traits mod.

Good stuff... unfortunately, this is taking the internet download speed that is prioritized to obtain ELEMENTAL.

Seriously, the whole "anti-fanboy" thing some of you guys got going and the " I'm a PAYING CUSTOMER " is getting old. It's becoming a sub-culture of these forums... too m

Yeah, I've got... like a day for my crappy internet to complete the download. Please let us know more about whats new and different.

Only sixty ? I think one may reach a point where they run out of spell ideas. Agreed with above poster. What would be some good spell additions that they should add?

Yeah, I've had a number of the same maps in beta. I didn't really think they were randomly generates. HOWEVER, there is the small possibility that you've gotten the same random seed multiple times (therefor generating the same map). I doubt that though...

Thanks Stardock!

Precisely... that must be your problem unless you have a redundant CoreSovereigns file which is acting as the primary file.

Nope. They should probably update the original post.

Yeah, I think it'd be possible but difficult for modders to implement interiors... especially believable interiors in which you wouldn't have to suspend disbelief.

.XML files are very sensitive to modification. Ensure that you have all your , beginnings and ends, and all the proper opening and closing tags (or whatever). You probably missed something in the code. Welcome to testing and debugging :P P.S. You must also start a new game for ANY changes to take effect and display. Perhaps this is the problem right here...

What are you changing? What values? You can easily make your own factions by making a separate .XML file and placing it under "Units" in "My Documents/My Games/Elemental". I'd recommend doing that rather then editing the base factions . I'd avoid editing any of the core files if at all possible.

B-but... ice melts. =/= computers & hardware

I've been away eating dinner and other sustainable activities. What did I miss? OH, what is the countdown at?

Stardock, turn down the AC in the offices tonight... and leave it down for a couple weeks.

It'll be here.
