I remember that in Master of Orion 2 if you refused to be named by the galactic council then all AIs united in a single player and went to war with you. Perhaps something like that could be implemented. Like when it's clear that the human player is far ahead all the AIs band together.
As far as I know, that's not possible. BUT: You can create a new city resource called CityLevel and then edit city hubs. So the level 1 city hub will provide 1 CityLevel resource, the level 2 city hubs will provide 2 CityLevel resources, the level 3 city hubs will provide 3 CityLevel resources and so on.
Looks like a mix between Kings Bounty and some story deep maps in HoMM 3. I like you idea a lot [e digicons]:D[/e] The main problem that I see is that I don't know any way to affect other faction from a random event / game event. There are not even ways to create proper global events other than spawning things in the map. I hope I am wrong and there is a way. But perhaps you don't need another faction for this to work, although I suspect you need at least two pl
It means that every grain in every city gets that +5. In your example is the option a) And welcome :)
Sounds like you have something big in your hands. I am sure the result will br awesome. Please if you need some help don't hesitate to come to the forum. Is not that I know more than you, but at least we can brainstorm together ;) I have learned a lot doing my (still unfinished) population mod myself, and I am happy to share what I've learned.
I am not against overhauls either, but I do believe an expansion is about adding things not about changing existing ones. At least mainly.
[quote who="Daynarr" reply="19" id="3344779"] I'd add my support for this. Consistency is BADLY needed for modding of FA and LH. It's probably the biggest obstacle for many modders who just don't have time to learn quirks of all different files that behave differently. Making things easier for modders would increase number of mods and their quality/content by large margin and that would in return attract more players and increase game's appeal (more sales if you will). A
[quote who="mastroego" reply="37" id="3344792"] The reason I'm not very happy about this expansion, is that it seems more of an overhaul than an expansion. At this stage (second official addition to the game) I would have expected flying units, item crafting and all the things we never got with Elemental or FE. Instead, we get another rules overhaul. Granted, heroes at least needed the overhaul, and that's good, but when do we get expanded things
I also support this suggestion, as it would open (again) a whole range of possibilities for modding (and also for an easier way to add new features in next expansions). I tried to just make a type of trained unit that would produce 1 mana per unit in the group, but found that's impossible to do via abilities. Autocast of strategic spells would be the solution.
^ I agree too. The main flaw of the FE encumbrance system is having only 2 points at which it has some effect (40% and 80%) If the effect is for each % as mqpiffle says, it becomes much more meaningful and the game is way deeper.
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="3344515"] Calculations can only reliably be used in spelldefs.[/quote] That was what I suspected. So no way to scale an ability depending on the group units at the moment. [e digicons]X([/e] Thanks for your answer Heavenfall [e digicons]:D[/e]
I suspect the answer is no, but I thougt it would not harm to ask anyway. Imagine that you want to create a channellers ability that gives 1 mana per turn per each unit in the group. It would be something like that [code="xml"] Resource</Mod
Not sure if you have already solved it. Just in case, that's how I would do it. If I understood correctly, you want a quest that once accepted enables one or more "sub-quests" to appear as random events. One of the triggers for events is FactionResourceLevel (you can find it in the new CoreRandomEvents.xml file). I would créate a special hidden resource called something like "QuestPath" and after accepting the star
I agree that the past system could use a bit of improve, but that was exactly what needed, improvement, not removal.
[quote who="NaytchSG" reply="6" id="3343985"] As far as city levels, I wish there would be a +1 essence pick for each level of any city type so I could settle more interesting spots on the map w/o gimping my essence. More essence = more fun Peace on Earth = Purity of Essence... oh wait... that's a movie. [/quote] Awesome idea! So, if I understand correctly, in addition to the three buildings and extra option would be to get +1 essenc
Awesome! Congratulations Parrotmath [e digicons]k5[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Hey nice pic Phaedyme ! I love Olivia Dunham! [e digicons]:D[/e]
That's a very good suggestion, because it would open a new world of possibilities for new mods. [e digicons]5*[/e]
After playing a little while without encumbrance, my first impressions are not very positive. In my humble opinión, the game is now a bit less deep. Weapons that before were a bit of a choice (Am I willing to assume the weight for the damage?) are now less difficult to figure. As Queen Procipinee I have found myself using the huge mace that never could use due to her limited 15 weight capacity. Also, traits are less different now. The trait that before gave extra weight c
50 People --> Level 2 200 People --> Level 3 400 People --> Level 4 800 People --> Level 5 Level 5 is the máximum level.
You are totally right Heavenfall! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Count me in among the encumbrance skeptics. We'll see how it plays out.
That Background Mod is awesome, and above all, very useful! just discovered it, and want to congratulate you for it. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Glad you find it useful. If you try it and find any issue please let me know. I gave the spell a huge AI Priority so it should be an autocast every time the AI reaches the Fame threshold, but it's the first time I mod AI so it could not work.
Better tan generating some Fame it would be to steal some fame from the losing faction. [e digicons]}:)[/e]
