Could you put a small fence on all four sides that keeps units out? Or what is the code for the city siege map center square that blocks troops? I recall that SD had to fix them after their first iteration to keep troops from walking through them... Love that all of you awesome modder types are brainstorming this thing together!!
[quote who="amanadark" reply="62" id="3448444"] One thing i really also found fun was beast master, Love having beast unit's in my army, This is a bit much but upgrades to the wolf and bear for leveling up would be nice, like wolf grow's into a dire wolf. Just to add a little extra power behind them.[/quote] Yes!
Thanks for working on this, the good/evil quests are a great game mechanic.
Don't nerf beastmaster, random maps already mean you could be far away from any tamable beasts. And if you are playing without reloading saves, your young beastmaster will spend at least a few days in a city healing up and regaining lost mana. Sometimes more than once! And the utility of the trait diminishes during the course of the game, so it is a great early pick, but not as powerful as a mage or warlord in the late game. Edit: and if you
The modding features have given this game a lifespan that it wouldn't otherwise have. Better/more accessible modding tools and spell/quest/map editors would ensure your game was played for a decade. Otherwise all the other points in this thread are well-taken. The Sov and faction creation are particularly fun. Edit: And the fact the enemy sovs can be made your vassals is awesome!
Looking forward to this. Thank you!
"- New shards (shadow, nature, battle, beast and summoning pool) - when hovering on them on the top bar, there is a line of text like "No string attached" or something like that - what does this mean?" : aerowreck abob101 mentioned at one point that the string not found below the summoning pool number was something he couldn't easily fix without mucking around in a bunch of core files. It does not affect gameplay iirc. </p
Thrilled with this mod and your willingness to work with other terrific modders to make the game more fun. Can I suggest that you code the mana shrine upgrades to automatically increase the mana output without having to clog up my building queues. Thanks!
Strengths: 1) Hostile world idea: Wildlands and Boss creatures, quests, random events. 2) Fame mechanic for hero recruitment and Sov/Hero Classes and skill trees. 3) Shards influencing spell power/effects aside from just giving mana. 4) Custom sovs and races. Sandbox and random maps, the Worl
Why would I want the Scythe of the Void, anyway? The -100 xp makes it useless imo... If I use Ascian's collar on Ongr, I would still like him to level up, and even more so my heroes/henchmen. Better to give it some sort of higher level "clumsy" disadvantage. Call it Blood Rage to make it sound better if you want. Where if it does strike a friendly unit it also mauls... [e digicons]}:)[/e]
I will try to get invaded this week [e digicons]:D[/e]
I also play with dsraider's AI and new factions mods, abob101's Demon and Wizards mod, your version of the unique city defenders, parrotmath's snaking, swamp tiles and armored militia mods, and Hellion's Black Market Bazaar. (ooh ,Hellion's just updated with more stuff [e digicons]:drool:[/e] )! Despite playing with a few mods, I think your insights into fundamental aspects of the game remain valid. And that is stuff it would be gr
Keep it up! Especially share your gripes about flying units. Sad that MOM had it figured out 20 years ago :(
Many people have had the frustration of that squishy unit or defenseless noblewoman getting put in the front rank. Can the game be tweaked to either have the 9 army slots correspond to front, middle and rear ranks or can we get a few basic formations in the army management screen that we can slot our troops into like HoMM3? This could even be a Commander special ability if you want; or basic formations only for low-level heroes and fancier ones for higher ups. &nb
Very cool idea, tjashen. Probably tricky to mod some aspects but I had one thought to add... Could you have the heroes auto-cast retinues at the start of combat to get around the current 9 unit per stack cap? Then a mage character could really be different than a defender as the mage would summon a host of phantom warriors to shield him. A defender would summon a phalanx of spearmen units already dug into foxholes/palisades on the front line
I will try it with my next new game and let you know. Thanks!
Love playing with this mod! The Hundura faction is terrific. Thank you for updating it!
Hi DsRaider, A few notes thus far: I have seen better stacks in general. Still see un-escorted pioneers. And Karavox was adventuring with only one 4-man group of swordsmen at one point. But overall better. City building looks good, the AI cities I've conquered all had at least one essence slot, a big improvement over the vanilla AI. I didn't see them early on, but during my brief war with Kraxis, he was building units in his cities, not
I am playing a game now... Large map, hard AI against 11 sovs. Ceresa has become my vassal after Kraxis did all of the dirty work of taking all but one of her cities. One of the other kingdoms was defeated (never met). I am not at war with anyone else atm... I will let you know what I encounter. Although I just bumped up to hard from challenging so I might not be the best judge. The spider auto-cast idea is brilliant.
[quote who="DsRaider" reply="6" id="3424917"] So has anyone played a game yet? Any comments on the AI? I really really want feedback! So anyway one of the things that has been bugging me is how bad Roseln is at using spiders and how terrible they are in general. Not only are they super weak but Roseln loves them but has no idea how to use them. It's a major flaw in their AI. According to the devs they are supposed to tie up melee units to be killed at a
Take a break, Frogboy, enjoy the holidays and recharge. Glad to hear there is more in store for FE:LH. It is a terrific game. As far as additional content, why don't you run a few more contests here on the forums like you did back before E:FE rolled out? Great fun for the community, fame and fortune [e digicons];)[/e] for the winners and more fun stuff for the game. Prizes could be a free DLC pack, an item, hero or spell named af
I lurk... and admire! [e digicons]:ninja:[/e]
Good ideas! I would also like to see some newer tactical maps as well.
Sort of like the GC2 slowly rising faction power event... but with hillbillies and banjos? [e digicons]XD[/e]
Darn it! I went back in to the game and you are 100% correct, Primal!! I have seen it on a crystal quarry in 1.4 though... Interestingly, the Altar AI has two cities like this with unused Essence slots in my current all Challenging AI game. And he has 400+ mana in the bank atm...
