[quote who="Fezziwig" reply="82" id="3335128"]My problem with them is that they simply don't make a lot of sense. Why does the area around your outpost only get the bonuses? Shouldn't the area around your cities get the bonuses as well? You would think that a populated city would generate more bonus than a remote outpost.[/quote] Although i do use these upgrades, only sparingly when it comes down to it. Here is an outpost suggestion: The upgrades for the outpos

One major flaw or issue is if one has multiple productions qued up then the production itself moves to a halt. Sure all the buildings finish but it will still take the 29 turns for all the buildings you have qued up anyway. But if you would like buildings to come out sooner, then you would have to micromanage each individual building to ensure that your production can go quickly. Also, given a large amount of buildings the game will have to divide each of the work load which may inevi

An alternative to Firefly's idea is to refund the population cost to the city controlling the outpost. Then the cost is mute for the outpost building, but could also provide a different mechanic of transfering a population. Also, it could cost to build an outpost 30 gold and still refund the population back to the controlling city (this alternative will be a feature request, as I don't think it can be modded).

I really like these tatical battles. From a modding perspective would it be possible to make tatical battle maps that have trigger events... or possibly make it so when visiting a town we can get a tatical view to purchase goods and stuff... I've been contemplating an RPG mod and would like some of this functionality from the tatical maps (even if I have to wait to another iteration of elemental).

There are sometimes islands out in the water. You can get to these islands by land bridges from the spell raise land. Islands are not a real part of the game due to boats and the poor mechanics dealing with boats. If you have really good suggestions about boats, I'm sure that they would like to listen to them and see if they are easily implemented. At this time though the general consensus from the developers is that boats are just too big of a problem for how they are implemented.

It seems that the pioneer cost is too excesive for the outposts. I suggest instead of changing the cost of the pioneer, buff the outpost to justify the cost of the pioneer. That I think would be a better solution to the problem. Under the current circumstances the outposts are good for their purpose, but maybe add something to their functionality.

If you go to the stardock store (not steam) and click to look at legendary heroes. You see a bunch of red writing underneath the picture and a link to purchase the game for the discounted price.

[quote who="halmal242" reply="57" id="3332649"] When I made a version of this I just used the chest item for my militia. It made them stronger but not overpowered. So the most powerful militia would be light plate with whatever weapons tech allowed.[/quote] I can make them look like they are decked out in more armor, but only give the armor value rating of a usual chest piece of the equivalent item. I think that will work out neatly and make them look more armored, b

A cursory glance at the files showed that I've got all the vanilla armors taken care of and I'm not sure what armors you are missing. If there is another mod adding some art definitions or something that could cause a conflict, but I'm not sure otherwise why it is not working.

But then again if somebody is playing with just automatic building placement the mod doesn't give the player any significant advantage over the AI in that regard.

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="8" id="3329088"]parrotmath outdid himself. They REALLY complete the city building aspect of the game[/quote] Thanks... I really enjoyed adding snaking back into the game, but they are not going to add that back in anytime soon. What they should add to the core game is the bridge (probably a better looking design by them), even if they don't add snaking for the bridge building it would provide an appropriate strategic element for the AI.

One possible option for adding more summoning spells is to do a series of quests where the quest rewards is a summoning spell. I've not the time to implement all the details of the quest and the code required, otherwise I would do such a thing. My summoner mod was my first attempt at making summoning a little more viable for the player who wants to summon creatures. Namely it adds units with the ability to summon an elementals. Unfortunately, this is horribly unbalanced

They had this in the game proper and they removed it during the beta process to give more strategic element to the game. Plus there is a severe abuse that people could do with snaking that the devs felt was too much power for the player vs. the AI. If the AI gets good enough they may introduce it back into the game, but not likely.

These summoner units are rather devistating on their own since they cost no mana to summon these troops. The idea is to keep them in the background and let the summons kill all the other troops. My balance is that the summons has a range of 3 from the caster and a lower level compared to the sovereigns summons. I think the range implementation may be a problem with the AI using this unit, still more tests needed to determine this or not. [quote who="nDervish" reply="43" id="3302669"]I

Thanks for the feedback. I don't quite understand why my mod is not compatible with the other mod, unless the other mod changes the internal name of the techs. There is a invisible pre-requisite for these summoner units. They need "enchanters" for the staves they use. But the traits themselves are unlocked with each of the books. Next time check to see if that is happening. (I've checked the other mod and it doesn't change the name of the tech so it should work). The
