These could be redesigned using the xml files. I'm not sure if creating special pioneer units would be great.

[quote who="AlienFromBeyond" reply="25" id="3337756"]Er, autosave is cheating? Excuse me?[/quote] It's an old debate that reloading the game because you didn't like a consequence or that random rolls that occurs wasn't the best you wanted. For example a tactic that some use is to save the game, go over a goodie hut look at the treasure... didn't like it, reload and repeat till you get the best item you want. Similar with battling say a dragon and you get a bum roll or

If you look at coreimprovements.xml, the city hub improvement has the tag SaltedPork What i wrote above is what you need to make an item show up in the store always. An example of Salted Meat I added to the game for those that couldn't handle eating pork ;) https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75549875/Fallen%20Enchantress/FoodItems/S

[quote]1. How to make an item appear in the shop from the beginning of the game.[/quote] To make a shopitem show up, it is attached to a particular building in the city. So if you wish an item to always be available you need to have ItemInternalTagName You would need to include this for all the city hubs including the

[quote who="Sanati" reply="16" id="3337672"]That bear cub is then powerful enough to destroy every single building in a level 5 city and desecrate the land it was built on in a single season? No amount of "hur, dur, FANTASY" makes that OK. It's not about making the game easier, it's just something absurd.[/quote] The level 5 city militia should be able to kill a bear cub. There is a bug currently that the city doesn't regenerate it's militia after each battle (like the

I like the druid option...

By your thoughts you are quite right that you will get (on average) the same xp per hero. Not really an advantage to either method, in fact, splitting the stack has the advantage of upgrading your lower units quicker (non-hero units) and having a larger amount of lower units at a higher experience level. But the real advantage of keeping one stack is the quests. The XP granted by quests is not split per hero, all hero's get the same amount of XP granted by the quest. So your

You should look at https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/elemental_fallen_enchantress/19/ for fallen enchantress. Eventually I'll mod it over to LH. Maybe I'll add female scions. Nice work Parrottmath, how does it work? Are henchmen female only in your mod, or do you select henc

My best suggestion for this is that the monsters take the town and live in it until you can send a hero to free it open again through a quest / tatical battle and reverting the control to you. But that never got any thumbs up or down from the devs... they hid their true feelings about that system.

[quote]Economics of trading are absurd Why should opponents demand 1/3 more for the same technology? Long ago humans discovered that money was the best way to express value of assets. Find an economics graduate school major and have them design a system. They could write a thesis on it.[/quote] Would you accept somebody with a doctorate in mathematics? Or does it really have to be an economics major?

Nope you buy at 5 times the value of the object.

If it is at all possible, an alternative is that you lose all progress to current production and the city goes under a repair cycle for 5 turns (per level) (that is not contributing anything to the empire except unrest). During that time frame you may choose to raze the city or try to fix it up again. The common argument is that you should defend you cities better by training troops and stationing them in the town / fort you have, but at times I find that difficult to do.</p

One thing with summoning is the amount of summoning that can be done. I found it rather fun when I made a unit that was able to summon troops to fight instead of the unit itself (weak mage unit, strong summon unit). The summoning skill seems rather unfinished. I would like to see more types of summoning, for example. If you have Water, summon water elemental. If you have Air, summon air elemental. If you have Air and Water summon an Ice elemental. If you have fire and air summon a steam eleme

So, the point is here that people feel there needs to be XP splitting, but it is too much at the moment. I think increasing xp for all monsters would be too much and so there must be a middle ground for everyone. What mathematical formula would you propose for the XP splitting to occur. Since dividing equally is too much. Here is a convoluted formula to use instead. The actual values converges that no matter the number of heros you will always get at least half of the XP. (2^(

I recommend that you do something similar to that like henchmen and add a race pre-req for your tech. I'm not sure exactly how the tech tree works, but this will at least have only your race be able to use your tech, similarly you can add a faction requirement as well.

If stardock is still reading this thread. I've just remembered something that I would like to see implemented, it would make my female henchmen mod more functional for everybody that uses it (I think it was rather popular). You have generic units to be designed in your editor, but only room for 3... could you allow for 1 more... Currently you have I wouldn'

Thanks for the positive comments.

[quote who="AlienFromBeyond" reply="2" id="3336750"]I'm using your snaking mod from FE just fine in LH.[/quote] Good to know that my mod does work for LH. For those that are going to use mods during the beta, I strongly recommend that when you report problems with the game, do so when only running a vanilla version of the beta. If there are problems with any of my mods in the beta process I'm not going to keep them up-to-date at the moment (mostly because I hav

[quote]40% less Ogre Crotch (we are getting close to 0 Ogre Crotch)[/quote] I hear ogres everywhere cringe with fear and pain... those developers are ruthless to the poor Ogres.

[quote]4. Re-introduce snaking for piers and logging camps[/quote] That shouldn't be hard to do... ;) maybe add a bridge building to go across rivers too. Before I mod anything in the game though, we should wait till its relatively feature closed.

I have the same feeling about the thread on the the strategic spells : what are the goals (meaning ?) of Frogboy's questions ?[/quote] I suspect that there has been a lot of chatter and talk in the changlog thread.

[quote who="DEY123" reply="55" id="3335647"] Quoting Leo in WI, reply 52 Quoting DEY123, reply 50 so Is this pushed to us via steam on Thursday? Just thought it odd we had patch notes but when I played last night I was on version .50 I think. Look at the first line of the OP. It will stay at "unreleased" until they do release, then Derek will change it to "released" with a date. Thanks for the clarification.

I would like to see at least some constant particle effect on the city showing that it is under a powerful evil spell.

[quote who="SBFMadDjinn" reply="84" id="3335443"] One last thought is that some of the upgrades would be nice, if they actually worked. I'm not sure the warden works on enough mobs, especially in LE, given that I rushed a warden on an Arcane Monolith next to a wildlands area, and all that seemed to do was draw the mobs out of the wildlands and into the outpost area.[/quote] The warden specifically doesn't work on the wildlands creatures, but
