If Tarth has an alliance and good relations with other kingdoms, chances are she won't get attacked by them. And Empires would hesitate to attack her as well, because of the alliances. If you can bribe someone into attacking her, that might start a chain reaction.
Curiously, I've never seen this happen when planting an arcane-monolith-as-outpost. It was only when I had a pioneer hanging around who didn't end up getting a city (the faction next door settled too quickly near a likely spot), and I turned that pioneer into an outpost.

[quote who="crimsongekko" reply="9" id="3272550"] did you know you can keep using SW's rivermod alongside with MA? just keep stormworld_rivermod , gfx and stormworld_shared folders in mods, and keep using rivermod's terraintypes.xml .

Brad, you getting a sense of consensus, yet?
[quote who="NaytchSG" reply="19" id="3272396"]Now that is a great tip, Glazunov1! I just read the Bride of the Man-Horse at http://www.sff.net/people/doylemacdonald/l_wonder.htm and enjoyed it immensely. I had never heard of him before and will enjoy reading his work. Cheers!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="20" id="3272412"]Should almost do a poll on this: Would you be willing to give up player designed units to have a greater visual variety in the races? Basically, the limitation is that each body type / skeleton requires its own set of clothing, armor, etc. [/quote] No.
[quote who="Emperor_Nero" reply="17" id="3272377"]I personally like how Game of Thrones has done it. The series is about political intrique and war on a human level. It's low fantasy and I appreciate it. I mean there is still some magic and dragons and such but you don't see a hoard of Urk-hai running in to battle. I love Tolkien, but I love it because it was original. Now every game that says it's fantasy has to have orcs, goblins, elves...[/quote] Minor co
I know, but you don't have centaurs, and grails. [e digicons]:-"[/e] Actually, I alternate between yours and Heavenfall's. Makes for a nuisance in switching out mods, but I'm a veteran of 220+ mods in Morrowind and Oblivion. I can handle it!
Damn. I figured it was something like this. And all I do is check back every few hours to see if it's available. [e digicons]#:([/e]
To be honest, I wish you two would somehow provide a mod-meld and combine the high fantasy flavor--the factions, the items, the champions, etc--with the retailored tech trees, reconfigured city buildings, new champion traits, etc. Just a thought. I know there's great peril of the sun collapsing into a white dwarf if this happens, but still.
Stormworld's temporarily down, but I suspect it will be back up again, soon.
[quote who="joeball123" reply="17" id="3272100"] Quoting Glazunov1, reply 15Does anyone else find them financially feasible? Yes, but only when I'm so far along the road to victory that it doesn't matter if I spend 1 gildar per turn or 10 gildar per turn on a single unit, and at that point it isn't like I actually need additional units like these in my army, it's more of a 'well, I've got the gildar to blow, I may as well blow it on something I for some
[quote who="Martimus" reply="13" id="3271990"]I think the idea of the high upkeep is that these units cost nothing to build.[/quote] Well, but think of it this way: when you actually finish building a unit, you've paid for it in terms of taking up the queue which could be spent on something else, and it's taken time. Then there's a very small upkeep. These other units we're discussing that pop up from villages, etc, cost anywhere between 5 an
If you're proposing to build traits assignable to specific Paths, then the Path of the Governor really could use some fleshing out. Consider a series of Efficiency traits that improve the yield of resource squares around a specific city where the champion is located. Perhaps a Recruiting trait that turns out city-built units slightly faster.
Already made a thread about mercs, rangers, etc, and the ridiculous upkeep-by-turn. Never heard back on this from Derek. It's essentially broken. The cost is outrageous, so I just mod it down with each new release. I hope it will be fixed someday for everybody, though.
[quote who="Schweiz" reply="51" id="3271600"]Changes to 'governor should focus more on effeminacy, and indirect/situational bonuses to cities.[/quote] You sure you mean effeminacy? Because, I mean, we could give them all traits for Interior Decoration and Hairstyling, but somehow, I don't think that's quite what you had in mind. [e digicons]:-"[/e]
[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="13" id="3271418"] Quoting Glazunov1, reply 8To be honest, I wouldn't expect most of them to put enough time into a TBS to notice the differences, except for crashes. And there were few of those in the first official release. I dunno, read the patch list, a lot of those bugs are visible problems. I started a game of 1.00 and gave up in frustration after two hours when my list of bugs encountered reached almost 20 long. You don't nee
[quote who="Kalin" reply="46" id="3270192"]If you want army boosting skills, go path of the defender... I don't think governors should be boosting army strength. The only thing I think would fit governors would be a wage reduction path, and perhaps something akin to a bribe skill (spend gildar to stun enemy for x turns).[/quote] I like the idea of paths involving wage reduction, increased production efficiency, and perhaps a very small chance each turn at improving
Install over it. There are no issues.
[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="5" id="3271294"] Quoting Glazunov1, reply 3What's wrong with "and wise as she was fair to look upon"? That's an oral formulation utilized by storytellers and those who wrote fairy tales in English for over 300 years. I'm not sure I understand. Based upon what I learned in school, it should be "and as wise as she was fair to look upon". However, English is not my mother-language, so I may be wrong in this case. I&#

Looking forward to your next release, then.
Is the mod-as-stands compatible with 1.01?
[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="6" id="3271139"] Sweet deal! Kinda too bad this release isn't 1.0 instead.....probably would get another 4 points from reviewers if it were...
