[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="25" id="3077036"] Can you set it up such that it can only be summoned within 1 tile of target enemy, and as such it acts like a flanker so adjacent units can only move 1 tile per round. Maybe it casts a spell which slightly reduces initiative or accuracy for the next round as well? Just some thoughts...[/quote] Yes, those are possibilities for tactical summons. Tactical summons will be weaker than strategic summons, but they can have

To make your custom unittypes appear in the monster section of the Hiergamenon, simply make sure that their is somewhere between 1 and 9. I'm not 100% sure, but I think doesn't determine monster spawns any more. I think all monsters now spawn from goodiehuts.

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="21" id="3077010"]Summon Wisp (or Will o' Wisp) : When adjacent to any enemy, that enemy has a 50% to become enthralled and lose its next turn. Att: 0, Def: 0, Dodge: Something High, HP: 50 -ish[/quote] Doesn't work with the mechanics. What we can do is trigger stuff when attacked, or when attacking. But we already have summons doing stuns on attack and defense. I like the creature though. I will think of something.

By using 5 Leeched Health, the Vampiric Snake explodes, killing itself, but cast

I only tried using minvalue and maxvalue once, but when I did they weren't working. It is possible that they have been removed altogether for FE. Keep in mind the defendabledamage is in itself slightly random.

How to deal with troublemakers? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

We can't do if calculations. Only +-*/

Difficult to implement, but I like the concept.

[quote who="ErikCurre" reply="6" id="3076677"]To elaborate on my above ideas, here's some special abilities: pestilence demon - plague bite, can poison units by biting them, harpy - sonic screech, causes units to become immobilized with fear and suffer initiative and / or movement penalties, liche - mana drain, steals mana from spellcasters, ghoul - sickly aura, steals a small amount of up from all units adjacent to the ghoul, phantom - soul bind, temporarily paralyzes a unit, reducing it

[quote who="Rhadagast" reply="8" id="3076707"]Good looking list. A few more possibilities Summon Animated Swords Summon Animated Armor Summon Ent (can cast entangle) Summon Gnomes (very high dex/dodge) Summon Great Wyrm (MoM style) Summon Fire/Storm/Earth Giant (shoots element) Summon Peasant Rabble [/quote] Animated Swords - nice. But we will call it animated weaponry instead, and make it summon whatever is your currently high

Perhaps we should post our current list to get the ideas flowing?

It's basically the same so far. It is still quite new. It also inherited OOs crappy .doc read-ins, so always be ready for formatting errors when you load those.

You deleted the post? I didn't mean for that at all, I think it was interesting. I also don't want to discourage anyone exploring the possibilities of modding. But you just have to be realistic about the things pulled out of the .exe instead of the core xml.

[quote]Hopefully the other damage types will be hooked up soon.[/quote] That doesn't make any sense. They're already functional in the game. What you are seeing is probably from a time before when they didn't have the damage types in pure xml. They do now. The thing is that I did a LOT of experimenting with these random tags that don't exist in the core xml files, back when I was doing E:wom mods. And I can't think of a single example that I ever got to work. I als

Harsher encumbrance limits just forces everyone into str. What's the point? Everyone already maxes str for damage and defense.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="2" id="3075877"]Prediction: The game finally find its FPS roots and they rename it Elemental: Unmodern Warfare[/quote] Also it is now set in the wh40k universe.

The problem is that str adds both damage and weight capacity. It's a no-brainer stat, you always want it for melee damage AND defense. Str should not boost weight capacity. Make that your own traits instead. If you want an explanation, there's a difference between endurance strength and explosive strength in real human bodies.

If they say so, it's probably right.

I can't figure out a way, there may be some way to do it with several unitstats and some nifty math. What you want is some kind of function that returns 5 when x is 1 to 5, and 0 when it's 6 or higher. Maybe the heaviside step function, although I don't think we can bring that into the game for calcs.

Any land that is either grassland or the dark fallen land should be possible to settle in, unless there's already a city within 6-7-8 tiles or so.

I haven't experimented at all with the actual tech tree. It's one of those things I think a modular mod should avoid meddling with.

2nd is really annoying, very bad design of UI

I can't think of any way to make techs mutually exclusive. I'll think about it. There doesn't seem to be any xml support for it, and putting unlocks inside buildings is very bad since they can be captured from enemies. Can I ask, what is the goal with these mutually exclusive techs, broadly speaking? Perhaps we can move the content of the tech somewhere else instead. Edit: The only way I can think of is to use one of the already existing mutually exclusive systems.
