[quote]First, and most annoyingly, I find them constantly neglecting obvious treasures around their capital city and in their own territory. Free stuff, so why can't they be more focused on getting it? [/quote] I do believe that this was a design decision to stop the AI from being too efficient from taking these goods. They toned the AI from grabbing everything in sight so it leaves the player with the ability to find goodies later in the game. (But that was a long time ago when t
Updated the quest editor to be more user friendly when reading the tutorial and using the editor at the same time. Namely, it will remember your selection for all the treasures and encounters you create with the program. I did extensive UI work on the encounter side of things and corrected some errors that were occurring there, but in the process I might have introduced some errors, that I haven't caught. Looking forward to feedback from people that have tried it out. Let me
[quote who="Aviator64" reply="32" id="3366955"] Haven't checked it. I will have to start a new game in order for the fix to take affected, right?[/quote] Correct... I'm not sure if it will fix the problem since I don't know what is causing Slavers to crash on peoples computers.
[quote who="Alstein" reply="100" id="3366899"] Quoting Leo in WI, reply 98 Did this just go live, I see steam downloaded something? Guessing another beta patch.[/quote] Couldn't say, since the version number didn't change.
[quote who="Odinlowbane" reply="3" id="3366889"]Another question, I acutally have a quest that I am working on that will give you him instead of getting him at teh start of the game, i am just not very good at making quests yet.[/quote] Quests can be a tedious endeavor that is why I made the quest editor, so I can make them quickly. Otherwise it is a lot of copy and pasting that occurs when making quests.
Tell your friend to run the game on the newest version and see how it runs. The update they did has made the units move too quickly for me now. The animations are all their but the movement and such is very very quick and smooth. Not something I expected when I upgraded one day. Since your friend has FE, you should be able to make an assessment about how LH would run.
So I ran the game with my Integrated graphics card -Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000- it wasn't as great as when I run it with my GTX 555m, but the flow was relatively smooth and I can play the game with lower graphics nicely. If you have FE, have you played the latest version 1.32. They did some good optimization to the rendering and seemed to do a lot of good. LH is using this optimized engine as well and ran much smoother than FE 1.00. Hard to say how it will run on your computer, but
[quote who="Pattonius" reply="12" id="3366779"] The memory part makes sense, but the sifting through 20 factions can be avoided by right-click-deleting the ones you don't want to see. They may still exist in the meat of the game, but they won't clutter the list anymore.[/quote] I think you are still looking at the sovereign list and not the race list. The list the OP is talking about is this one, which you cannot delete nor remove from the list in game.
[quote who="Malorey" reply="5" id="3366722"] Once you cast a spell on a city with a free essence spot, does the spell last for the entire life of the city or does it expire after some time?[/quote] The spell lasts the entire lifetime of the city, unless you remove it.
I completely agree with this statement See my Death Adepts Mod and you will get exactly what you are asking for. https://forums.elementalgame.com/444851/
Was the old game started with the newer version of the game, or the older version of the game?
[quote who="Dhuran" reply="11" id="3366677"] Unfortunately since they summon it when they die, it dies immediately... I tried hooking deathward up in various ways through abilities. I can't think of a way to target the summon with it in the same spell since it technically doesn't exist yet. Unless I can make it persist on the tile where the unit dies for one turn... (I might try that when I get back in there).[/quote] When I suggested using deathward, I wasn't talking abou
[quote who="Dekent" reply="7" id="3366685"] Is there a way to mod the number of perk points champions get when leveling up?[/quote] If you mean number of traits a champion selects on the level up screen I don't think this is possible.
Possibly, did you try my fix. The quest functionally runs the same (with a few tweaks), but it should be the same... I don't remember if quests overwrite each other or not... my memory is bad... but if they do work from the mods folder then this tweak might fix the problem with that slavers quest. I suspect they are calling the same battle name and expecting 6 units but only getting 5 when you hire Daxus. So, I added a separate battle tag and called a another objective to check to se
[quote who="Dhuran" reply="9" id="3366634"]As far as the Banshee, I'm open to suggestions on that, but I want to test it out a little bit more myself, and maybe hear form some others who have used it. It's important to me since this is not supposed to be a cheat mod. Lately I've been busy beating my head against their xml trying to get a new spell to work. I'm starting to think that their hard coded systems are going to win this time though...[/quote] What spell. I'
Still can't see how they did that (seems to be a deeper code problem), but that map is T_Grassland_Fertile_04 I thought maybe since it was a boundary of 1 deep of blocked tiles was the problem, but this has a full set of blocked tiles. It seems that the AI is utilizing a pathing that is not available and it's bypassing the map information. What I do notice in common is that each of these units are ranged units and on each of these maps the location of the backu
True, but does the game load these files into memory... I suspect so and memory is a precious commodity when it comes to the game. But when you create a new sovereign then you have a series of factions to sift through from all the ones you've created. An adventuresome sort could make 20 factions and now that person has 20 more factions to sift through to find the one they want. Not a very convenient process. Are they going to spend dev time to fix this minor problem... probably no
Are you playing a modded game? Did you create a custom faction? Are you playing a custom sovereign? I have never even contemplated that this was even possible to do in the game.
[quote who="The_Biz" reply="5" id="3366595"] maybe I should have said no leveling up and only auto-resolve instead of no quests/monsters it's been so long since I've played single-player civ (AI sucks)... in multiplayer we turn off almost everything when I play FE I just feel that the skill selection and tactical battles are such a huge focus and these are more common with tactics/role-playing games than with 4X <br
[quote who="Pattonius" reply="8" id="3366581"] I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this, or perhaps that nobody has actually discovered it, but if you right-click the portrait of your created faction in the selection screen it will show a pop-up asking if you are sure you want to delete it. Click yes, and it's gone. I have not seen them re-appear in subsequent loads of the game, so I think it's a lot simpler than any of the information above.[/quote]
I've had the problem happen to me as well, but that happens, I've also notice that if you must return to start location the hero that returns gets the loot. I did this specifically with the Panca archers and started the quest with my sovereign... earned enough fame to get new hero, finished quest with new hero. New hero got the rewards.
[quote who="The_Biz" reply="3" id="3366577"] you're comparing different genres... turn off quests and monsters and compare FE to Civ [/quote] That would be the same as turning off barbarians and lions and such. Civ does have those elements in the game and thus one cannot turn off monsters. I would agree that turning off quests and goodie-huts then compare, but not the monsters as they exist in both games. They are separate games and I was
[quote who="Kantok" reply="9" id="3366537"]The way Android and IOS have revolutionized entire industries and changed the way millions of people live their lives proves you wrong.[/quote] I fail to see how that proves me wrong.

A suggested fix to the problem (and I can produce this as a temporary fix, until a code change is done), but if you end the quest by forcing the person to return to the quest location. This might have the unfortunate side effect of moving off the location and go back to the location (haven't tested that, have to experiment with this) If that is an unfortunate side effect, you could change the quest slightly as Yithril keep the enslaved sailors locked up in a sepa
