For those that are curious, I've been tweaking this editor for awhile now and I think that it is ready for anybody to test... I haven't found too many bugs with it, but if you do find bugs or things you would prefer to see happen let me know. I am currently going to take a few weeks off from modding this game to finish some much needed work I've been ignoring for far too long. As it currently stands I've made 8 different quests, all unique in style (namely I don't

[quote who="jshores" reply="3" id="3364850"] So far in my testing, the AI handles it fine. Meaning, when it hits those milestones or levels a city, it immediately builds a pioneer like it normally would. Of course, the AI wouldn't understand it needs to do those things to get the pioneers, but fortunately the AI is already predisposed to try to reach those goals.

I know I haven't heard word yet on those map fixes, are these pre-made maps with rivers going to be fixed? I understand that you need to check through them to ensure that they are good fixes; just curious on the status there. Also, the impale - cleave - crush skills is it intended to be only normal (piercing) damage no matter the weapon? I've a fix for that floating around too.

Maybe that 15% reduction is why they keep attacking prone units for ever, since their accuracy is never dropped to 0. I guess the calculation doesn't use the original value, but the current value for accuracy, which leads to a problem. A reduction of -15 though is not as nice as it may seem, as very high accuracy you will still get 15 hits or so. Unless they mitigated the accuracy bonuses that one may get. If their were a variable called total accuracy that never changed and one c

Then of course on could not have nature cloak cast with 2 earth shards (+40% cold resistance then), that nice cloak, or even the spell protection from cold at +50% cold resistance. There are ways to counter such things Or maybe the Obsidian Guard ability and be completely immune to cold.

In general yes. But you can make your compatible with Heavenfall's mod by adding the appropriate UnitStat_BG_ tags. It's a rather simple process and whenever I make a mod to the game I do this just to keep it compatible with Heavenfall's stuff.

Some of this salted earth business can be fixed by giving the tile city some tile yields of their own. Simply put give city yields production bonuses and a little bit grain yield... with a smidge of essence, and then this issue of salted earth will go away. It should provide enough yield if all the tiles around it were city to build a new city in the center. Something like a 3 3 1 type of situation. This I think would be a good compromise for losing a level 2 city or more. Simple

In FE when they first introduced the three building levels I believe that that were going to call a town a trade guild instead. After playing with the name, they decided to change the name altogether. There are no mismatching involved since it was all done a few years ago. This is probably why the artifact of the internal name being called a trade guild, since it was easier for them to change the display name versus the Internal Name especially for all the things that refer to town.

Yes, the town itself is devoted to agriculture and financial pursuits. These files are relating to the in game when you upgrade your starting level 1 city to a level 2.
