[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="274" id="2871269"]There were massive changes to elf buildings in 8.3 because I needed the angels to stop using the raceclassification CPELF completely. This will allow me to create things for angels only, and not elves, and vice versa.[/quote] Will those changes affect my HighElves? They use the Elf buildings and Elf techs.
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="5" id="2870501"]They will if you set them to yournewtechtree All that's needed.[/quote] That is easy. But being able to insert techs into a tech tree would be better. Less likely to be a conflict where multiple mods are concerned.
My use of the term, "Devs" includes designers, programmers, artists etc. Everyone directly related with the creation of the game.
Existing races/factions won't use the new tech tree
If I wanted to add techs to the vanilla tech trees, you're saying just overlay the vanilla tech trees with a new tech tree of the same name?
If you want a second set of eyes, post a link or something and I'll take a look at it.
Question... has anyone tried adding to an existing tech tree rather than creating an entire new tree with new techs added? Last time I tried this (pre 1.1) it didn't work.
Could Calculate be made to work in ANY tag!! PLEASE!!!!
[quote who="cephalo" reply="4" id="2870393"]Ok, I put the whole modified file in my Documents\My Games\Elemental\Mods\Data folder, and also tried the Mods\Data\English folder, but it's not loading up. Can anyone tell my exactly what folder to put this file in?[/quote] Most likely there is a problem in your XML file that is causing it not to load.
[quote who="Murteas" reply="142" id="2870379"]v.031 is up. See the changelog in the first post. Thanks to everyone who is contributing. Sounds like we may want to focus on 2 areas next: Summoning and Area of Effect spells. Other thoughts? Suggestions? I can see that this could outpace my time to keep up with people's needs, if that happens, we can move this to a community managed mod and I ca
I don't know yet if this has been done, but a tactically summoned monster is also great. In MoM, being able to summon an Earth Elemental saved my arse more than a few times when I was attacked by a superior force. Of course, the summoned creature dies when the battle is over.
One of my favorite spells from MoM was the Mud Spell. It turned a large swatch of the tactical battlefield into a mud pit and reduced the movement of all units moving through it to 1 per turn. It was a great equalizer when you found yourself faced with a superior force.
And speaking of Artifacts, is it by design that the artifacts don't have a sell value or is that just an earlier, not yet complete version I'm using?
Add "Artifacts" to that list, and I'll agree with you. Though I have not added Updated Weapons and Grimoire yet. Does Grimoire add some elemental based combat spells? Those seem to be seriously lacking in all but Fire.
That reminds me, HF. I recently added Drota to my test map. They die out about the 3rd or 4th turn or so about every second or third game. I'm not sure why as I've never looked into it but I wanted to pass that along to you.
[quote who="impinc" reply="11" id="2870170"]So..., did you get your tech done the way you wanted? Also, I tried the Unit, produceresearch tags, and they didn't work. I think the only way to do it is to make an ability for your sov that generates research per turn.[/quote] Yes, I got my techs working with dual prereqs though I'm still testing it. I originally had two prereqs but it seemed to stop working. I realize now, it was a bug in my XML th
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="250" id="2870281"]In this case, the god has been sleeping for 200 years. What's right and wrong isn't so clear cut any longer. Besides, only in a monotheistic religion is a fight for god by definition not evil. Argumentative? We're just having a discussion where I explain the choices I make for the mod. I enjoy talking about stuff like this.[/quote] Glad to hear this discussion wasn't being misunderstood!
[quote who="lawful" reply="247" id="2870234"]Everyone seems to associate angels with Cherubs or as personal guardians. Those are fairly recent (historically speaking) views. Angels were basically God's muscle, as it were. Something or someone gets in God's way of his plans, an angel, or angels, were sent to deal with it. They were dreadnoughts. And they defiantly were not human. They didn't think like a human. If there was something between them and there goal, it too was destroyed. <br
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="244" id="2870175"]Archangels are coming, it will be the last unit. See the list posted earlier. ps. Michael is the christian angel of death.[/quote] As I understand it, Michael on occasions escorted souls to heaven but I don't think he's ever been referred to or depicted as the Grim Reaper. That dubious honor goes to Archangel Azrael in Islamic traditions though the Angel of Death also exists in Jewish traditions as
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="15" id="2870123"]I have to look into it more for Elemental, but theoretically if you have Elemental registered on your account you should not get a limit on WC. If you have received a download cap message let me know so I can look at your account. [/quote] Thanks Dog!
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="241" id="2870039"]The grim reaper is the angel of death. They're not all cuddly fluffy. [/quote] Neither is an archangel. They're normally depicted as having armor, a flaming sword and serious attitude. Archangel Michael is sort of God's enforcer. Edit: Archangel Michael defeated Satan. He was the number one badass of the Old Testament and the perfect model for an Uber-a

[quote who="Stuie_" reply="236" id="2869620"] Quoting Heavenfall, reply 235Until recently I wasn't aware that it limited downloads. I'll update to a secondary source as well in the future. I use wincustomize because that's what is linked from the elementalgame.com website, which means more exposure for the mod. Fair enough. I just know the only stuff I've downloaded from that site is Elemental mods, and I've already met whatever limit they set. I was hoping to get the cu
[quote who="Kellhound_AU" reply="5" id="2869707"]I have had this issue come up several times whilst downloading your latest updates Heavenfall I found that by re-logging in under my Elemental login removes the message as if there is an internal 'glitch' that sets you to a guest account that needs to be reset after a certain amount of time/downloads has occurred[/quote] That's good news. Then the fix might be even simpler.
[quote who="impinc" reply="8" id="2869662"] Quoting Aerion Istari, reply 2Ok, if that's the case then why does it work when a tech lists as prereq, "Magic_Equipment_Amarian" and "Magic_Equipment_Trogs"? You can't have both?!?! I just noticed this as well. Are you referring to a tech referencing those two techs, or an item?[/quote] Specifically, a tech that has two techs as a prereq in an AND condition.
