Yeah it's Yithril and Ironeers.

Custom Factions don't have access to the same units that the prebuilt factions have. However, you can design your own custom unit instead.

I just started a new game today with an interesting scenario. I started on a peninsula (located on the southwest corner) with with a 3/3/2 for my starting city and space for 1 other city to my west. I went east and found out I'm blocked off by 2 AIs. So it looks like I need to fight my way out of this. This will be fun since my custom faction is designed for war.

Ooh GalCiv 3. Brad you tease.

Ok, I might have resolved my probelm. I played all day yesterday without a crash. - I updated my drivers. I should mention that these were just released. - I enabled all the previously disabled system services and startup programs. Mostly to resolve a missing service error for iTunes. I'm leaning towards the thought that this might have been the problem. I think one of the startup programs was nvidia experience. - I razed a city tha

Actually this is one of the few 4x games that takes advantage of multicore processing. Thats why the turn times are instant.

Getting back into more regular play of this game. Preparing to start creating youtube videos. However, I'm starting to crash somewhat frequently. I had 3 crashes today that happened after clicking end turn. https://www.dropbox.com/s/chglp11fio56p5e/LegendaryHeroes1_30-2013-09-21T11-08-52_238.zip <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/gasyji

I used to XSplit but they cost money. OBS is like the same thing but free. You can stream to twitch or create an offline save to upload to youtube.

LH is steam only I think. Unless that is for the free versions (I bought the game on preorder) I'm pretty sure the map pack will transfer in otherwise contact Stardock to see if it's compatbile. Otherwise just keep FE installed if you want to play on those maps. I still play WOM from time to time. More to compare where it started to where it is now and it still had mechanics that I'd like to see back in LH. Dynasties and armies limited by the max pop of your empire (I donno why I

Login to your account on store.stardock.com if you are entiled to a discount it will be there. It may seem like the same game with new paint but it's pretty awesome paint.

I can help admin as well if needed.

[quote who="sjaminei" reply="7" id="3396745"] If you use a sovereign wraith dodge build, a kraxis champion is pretty awesome with mass ranged behind. Move Forward/kite backward to a good position, build fort, move out, let the mass dodge craziness begin. You can do this without sacrificing turns/initiative if you are clever about movement and positioning. [/quote] I built a sov like this as well. Kraxis blood, etc. Easiest win I ever had.

I believe it's the Ultimate Edition, so you receive all the expansions. I do believe Dread Lords expansion is required. Twilight of Arnor completely reworks the game, which for some may change the experience too much compared to the Vanilla/Dread Lords game. I found the AI to be fairly competent at the higher difficulties. I think the difficulties are misnamed. Tough is the best AI without cheats instead of normal. If you play on normal you will stomp the AI, however,

This is an older strategy game from Stardock. However, I feel this game is still very solid for those looking for a Master of Orion or Endless Space type experience.

I just listened to 176. At first I didnt notice you were on the podcast because my car's stereo speakers broke but once I finished my drive and was listening I recognized you. Good insight on the AI design. Couple side notes: Do you have any resources you recommend for AI programming. Any reason you have 2 forum handles. Frogboy and Draginol. No reason just curious.

Civ V (GnK) turned the boats into "melee" units. It seems to work ok that way. Boats are fine as long as the AI knows how to use them otherwise it's too cheesy.

Is stylized lighting disabled? I've seen similar issues on the adventure map when I turn stylized lighting off.

[quote who="jonasadolphson" reply="2" id="3374500"] I would like to see more negative traits. It makes unit design much more interesting. [/quote] In theory it would but each unit would actually end up getting a weakness that has no effect on there actual mechanics and would be more of a beneift then a curse. Like weakness has no effect for a non melee class and reduces the production cost which is a huge beneift.

It was "removed" from the main game because it was very abusive. If you want a unit with the weak trait edit a scout.

First level up your governers while questing to give them early abilitys then move them into the town after getting a few levels. Commanders work well with armies so spend a few points in their army buffs then focus on city buffs. The army buffs help if your town with the governer is attacked.

[quote who="KatsukiLove" reply="17" id="3373520"] Unusual crashes are usually caused by 1. Pirated copy OR 2. Underwhelming computer spec OR 3. Someone is lying Personally, I use auto save every turn, all effects to the max, and I only play large to huge maps, I do alt tabbing a lot as well, the game runs good so far so good (may be some lag between turns near endgame but not a bi

Those designs are there so people that don't want to design there own units have designs that thhey can use throughout the game.

I see this too. I think the background is based on the faction that you choose. It seems like all my Kraxis blood characters have teh same background.

To fix Invalid DX Call turn off full screen mode in the ini file. I think it's a DX9 issue but the devs can prob clairfy on that. Invalid DX call happens when you alt tab from full screen and try to go back...I think, I accept any correction on this matter. I learned this in WOM and havent seen it since.
