[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="2" id="3465806"]2. Spell A requires 1 hidden resource A (Can be cast by all but...)[/quote] Yeah the trick is i'm trying to figure out a way to do it so that the spell doesn't appear in the (strategic) spell book to human players... and I think a spell that requires a hidden resource will be visible. Still that's better than what I have far. I'm sure a Requires UnitStat will hide the spell from players so i

Hi all, Can anyone think of a way to make some spells AI only ? I know you can add a unitstat as a prereq for a spell... so I'm trying to think of a way to give an AI sov a particular unit stat... but not a players Sov. Can't think of way to do that though without duplicating the Sovs. Any ideas? Any other way to do an AI only spell maybe? Thanks.

Ah right okey.

I know this doesn't help with your question but I signed up to just to give my support for Stardock, because I think LH is such a great game. I like Galciv, but I *really* like LH. I figured i'd just show my support for a company that makes great games. Haven't looked at any of the Galciv 3 stuff yet. So that's me. [e digicons]:-"[/e]

[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="3" id="3464861"]You wouldn't be getting the UnitStat values to unlock the spell w/o first consuming the scrolls though since consumables are not equipped. [/quote] Oh yeah good point. OK thanks for the thoughts though, the quest thing is an interesting idea but not sure if the AI would do it... will check it out though. The global resource thing would work pretty well for a human but again possibly too c

Yep for sure that works. But the complexity i'm looking for is a spell that requires (and consumes) 2 different scrolls when cast. So let's say your champion is carrying a "scroll of death" and a "scroll of fire".... I want that to unlock the "Spell of Flaming Death", which when cast... consumes both scrolls (and kills everyone via fiery death). I'm sure it's possible to unlock the spell by making each scroll generate a different unitstat, and then havi

Hi all, Bit of a longshot, but anyone know if there is a way to use/delete an item when casting a spell ? So for example let's say that to cast a particular spell requires 3 different scroll items... that is do-able with unitstats.... but then what if you wanted to have the 3 scroll items "consumed" when casting the spell..... possible? I was fairly sure I had seen something like somewhere... but I could be wrong. Thanks.

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="10" id="3464383"]If you are okay with that conceptual conclusion, mod away. [/quote] Would very much like to implement that but it's not possible via modding unfortunately. Well fairly sure it's not anyway. The thing I'm thinking about is creating a unique Tower of Dominion for each race. Not sure about it yet.

Thanks for your thoughts all, very sensible and helpful. @ joeball123 - great comments mate on options for the start of the game. @ GFireflyE - I agree with everything you said, except i'd make it so the player has to destroy the Tower of Dominion before they can start building a "new" one in another city. So if they want to relocate the captial it comes at a cost (the time taken to build a new one).

Thanks guys, figured as much. @ BernieTime - yes if it's 90% of the time the first building constructed it seems a bit pointless perhaps. I'm wondering though.... like maybe if it took longer to build or something, so that then there was a decision created as to *when* to build it (rather than *if*). So if it took twice as long how would that change things?

Hi all, Just a bit of a random question, i'm wondering when everyone builds their Tower of Dominion? I'm looking at some ideas for modding it. Just curious as to if the typical strategy would see it built early on (one of the first 3 buildings)... or some other use. I tend to build it first... seems like the best option in most cases, but i'm actually pretty average at playing this game from a winning perspective so wondering what the more ruthless ty

I'm just waiting to see if HF is going to update the background stats library for 1.6. The best thing would be to add "IsSword" and similar to the background stats library used by COS, then just use that for compatibility.

The UI/aesthetic certainly appears to have a bit of old school charm about it or something. Not that I don't like the LH one, but yeah the WoM UI looks neat. We need a WoM retro skin for the LH UI, t

Interesting thread. I really like Frogboys Dev Journals, and I generally find myself nodding as I read along... generally agreeing with his thoughts. But can't say that's the case here.... don't get me wrong, I understand the point and it's an interesting discussion - but I don't see Magic as a "problem". As others have already suggested, it depends on how you you handle it... sure if you're going to have magical nukes and spells that destroy a city

I believe the Life/Death schools is now working as intended, based on the current state of the game and from what Kael said in the twitch stream. Life and Death schools can still only be selected by Kingdom and Empire allegiances respectively. So no change there. Personally I think that's for the best (although I realize some would like like the restriction to be removed - each to their own I guess). Sanjo is an exception to the norm, she is a Kingdom character

[quote]Has anyone heard of the equipment Strange Outfit, Defensive Surcoat or Forest Leather Armor?[/quote] Never heard of them. What mods have you got installed sounds like it must be in one of those?

Just watched it back, pretty cool. Would love to see more of these for LH, but yeah a bit more notice next time would be helpful thanks.
