[quote who="Valentine82" reply="23" id="3270431"]Quoting parrottmath, reply 14I am thoroughly confused by your post Valentine82. You claim the game is bland and boring and only reference other games to state that this game is boring and bland. Read my post again if you're not trolling I highlighted differences and explained why.[/quote] I did re-read your post at least 4 times before I posted this and was thoroughly confused. I took your suggestion again and read it 2 more times.

I am thoroughly confused by your post Valentine82. You claim the game is bland and boring and only reference other games to state that this game is boring and bland. But I don't see an argument or suggestions on how to improve the game. You quote mods that have been broken, but I wasn't around with WOM so I'm thoroughly confused. You claim the game is about the mechanics and that the game is not immersive, but I see no example of this lack of style and substance. The state

[quote who="Valentine82" reply="8" id="3270332"]Quoting AlLanMandragoran, reply 6Just fyi - you can adjust the scale of units on the map. I set mine to large. The scale of the units is irrelevant to anything I said.[/quote] I don't think he was refering to your post, but to Sentinemodo post. Edit: Xia you beat me to it.

Those turn based events can be put in the game directory where the other quests are located. (No need to change any files just copy your files there) and they will work in game. Until they sort out getting the game to correctly read the other directory, this is at least a temporary fix. (Not recommending it, but if you are desparate it works). Good work on this stuff Murteas.

So the coreenvironment.xml file doesn't do anything besides show the names of artic desert swamp environments. All the environment stuff is commented out and uncommenting doesn't change anything on the map editor, besides have their names show up. I find it rather curious that they limit us to these 3, but yet I can have these environment names show up in the editor (nothing happens when you try to place it on the map).

I also see the same problems. Adding the file to '..\FallenEnchantress\data\english' directory allows the quest to work just fine. It's something about putting things in the '\documents\my games\fallenenchantress\quests\' directory as heavenfall says.

It is possible to fight without these resources. It isn't easy but it is possible. The late game you are going to want to secure these resources for yourself, and you will possibly have to trade with the AI for some of these resources in the mid-game. You are going to have to design troops that use a minimal amount of these resources and you can definitely compete. Most of my starting positions do not have these resources, but I do acquire quite a few when settling my other 2-3 ci

It has been said that above challenging, the aggressiveness towards the AI is lower and towards the player is higher. I don't know if this applies to setting the world difficulty insane or if it is setting the AI difficulty insane. I suspect that the world difficulty determines the monsters aggressiveness towards the player and AI. The experiment should be done specifically on challenging world difficulty. But as I have done many times in my own games was place buildings w

[quote who="sratner" reply="42" id="3268806"]Quoting parrottmath, reply 9But the symbol of a questionmark doesn't quite fit rebels. The question mark seems to be Ability_Uneducated_Icon. There is also Ability_Rebels_Icon, with crossed pitchforks, that isn't being used for some reason.[/quote] Ahh, that would explain why the questionmark made no sense. I hope that is fixed then... You never know what is a bug or not when it comes to graphical choices. ;)
