What makes you draw that conclusion? Enthusiasm for modding a game is not something you can bottle up and then use when the devs feel like it. Me personally, I'm doing mods now because the main game is lacking. As the game improves, so will my desire to mod it decrease. That's my reasoning, I can't speak for any other. Imho, the only reason not to release the tools like the Workshop and the spreadsheet in OP would be because

Have you investigated the possibility of modding in new wildlands? How about a Land of the Dead bordered by the River Styx? New wildlands would make for an aw

This is the fucking future right here. Yes, it's got 20 years of research at least before we reach the same level of control that we have on PCs today with a simple mouse and keyboard. Nevertheless. In a 100 years, people will look at keyboards and mouses like the people of today look on [insert good analogy here].

Would also be neat if small houses showed up in the vicinity of the city. They wouldn't have to do something, they'd just be there for the visuals.

How about people don't report bugs or feedback from a modded game? How hard is that?

This is probably going to change dramatically in each patch up to release. You should note what version you pulled this from.

A fucking "remake" in HD? Go to hell you fucking fake-hypers. I liked it better when I couldn't see shit. Anybody looking forward to the many little "tweaks" to "improve gameplay" for the "broader audience" such as: - every character is now Minsc - removed armor class (note the ominous lack of a replacement) - the max level is now 90, expect to be level 10 in the first hour. Players can still multiclass, which can be selected every 4 levels. - getti

Looks very useful. I am finding it a pain in the ass to add new racetypes to the game because every faction has 30 different units with 100 bits of data. For your conundrum of when to unleash the tools, how about for beta 2-B or Beta 3 you simply set mods by default to off, then you don't accept feedback or crash reports or what have you from anyone who has it turned on? And us modders can do our part too, for example you'll find this text or something like it in my modthreads

Yes

[quote who="fsemprini" reply="14" id="3108456"]Perhaps the hero can suffer some penalty/effect when crossing the river: Corrupted river - Curse or even a random Dark spell Magma river - Fire damage River of blood - maybe Bersek effect Poison river - Poisoned or Disease For example: to cross a magma river without get burning the hero have to cast Protection from Fire spell...[/quote] You cannot cross the rivers, unfortunately. Doing so opens up a wh

That's the actual damaging effect, check it out in CoreSpells.xml. You'll want to replace the UnlockCombatAbility ThrowingKnife with your own spell.

I agree, the corrupted river needs more texture work.

Uhm... isn't this something we should expect from the game itself? I can't imagine they would leave the mod database as it is. (I mean as it was in E:wom)

The way I see the corrupted river is that it's a place where evolution is turned up 1 000 000 000 times, so one day you have a fish that can breathe that walks out of it and another day there's an insect that can't breathe that just dies as soon as it's born. Anyway, the corrupted river is basically a "change agent", so it will add a trait to units trained in connected city that makes them deal random effects on melee attacks.

The balance is 5% of making an item for this mod, honestly. And having to update for core changes is always a risk when modding early. Thank you for the spellcheck EviliroN, I will put them in the next update.

In a year or two, someone will get around to updating that text string to 5g so everyone can "have that" too.

What, you think a lay person can just pick up a stone and THROW IT?

Weapons and other speciality stuff like magic rings and whatnot I can understand. But agriculture? I'm not saying agriculture is easy to master - it's not. I'm not saying agriculture today isn't vastly different than what it was 2000 years ago - it is. But the knowledge simply isn't lost just because the world ends. If your society is of any pre-industrialism type, you are likely to have around 90% of the population permanently occupied with agriculture (or in a support ca

I just noticed that the UnitStat_BG_IsSovereign wasn't applied when creating custom sovereigns. It should be. I'll fix it in the next version F, which will be out when the next FE patch is released.

The lightning hammer isn't good unless your unit levels up. It's a weak weapon if your unit is level 1. Militia is level 1. Balance aside, I think it is also "unrealistic" within the setting of the game that militia gain any equipment you have available, including magical ones. They're supposed to be expensive!

I left a WIP file in by mistake, terrainmod_replaceterrains.xml should not be in the mod. Version D is uploaded, and the only difference is that that file is now "empty". http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32649007/A_LIB_UnitStat_BG_vD.rar

I have a map set up where I test the drops from the random pool, and I'm not getting an unusual amount of compasses from it. It is either caused by another mod, or you got unlucky, or the drop isn't coming from the random pool at all (drops can also be decided in the goodiehut instead of coming from the general pool).
