Hi all, Posting this here rather than in the general forum... because it's related to LH. I've hardly played any strategy games other than LH over the last year (and then some) as most of my time has been working on modding (and playing) LH. Bit of Sorcerer King and a bit of Empire Total War and that's about it. So I caved in to some recent sales and bought Warlock 2, Crusaders Kings 2 and Civ 5 Complete..... I'd never played Crusader Kings

davrovana summed it up well there. I've played a bit with it and it was a nice change to get some fresh tactical maps... and I'm fairly sure i've had a couple of new stamps show up also, was some interesting mountain ranges that I haven't seen before in my last game. So far it seems worthwhile to me. I'd keep Battlegrounds over the leader dlc and undead dlc if I had to give a couple up, no question.

[quote who="cardinaldirection" reply="314" id="3510428"] i actually had a personal modification for fe that was somewhat similar, albeit less fleshed out. [/quote] Yeah I think there is so many cool things that can be done with religion in fantasy games, hence it was a real missed opportunity that the base game essentially has no religion concepts/mechanics. I do also like that kinda idea of actions have good/evil type consequence. Quests would be another cool

[quote who="Maseren" reply="312" id="3510298"] Edit: Oh one more thing, for some reason I still have Ai players running with negative gold, negative faith, negative crystal etc... and yet no reprecussions. Its SO weird. think this is a base game problem? [/quote] I have sometimes seen the AI end up with negative faith, I have a bit of an idea what might cause it.... still working on it. AI shouldn't end up with negative gold or crystal though, I don't think i

[quote who="Maseren" reply="312" id="3510298"] Actually one question, been noticing the quest for Ascian and Bacco haven't popped up at all in the games i've been playing, including the full reinstall, wipe and only running your mod, any ideas? [/quote] D&W doesn't touch those events.... I'd say it's probably just luck, they don't always trigger. Personally i'm a bit sick of Bacco, i'd be happy for him to stay away for a few

[quote]Added the ability for monster lairs to pull from a few random configurations of monsters, instead of always having the exact same monsters. [/quote] davrovana mentioned it already, but I just wanted to also say that after playing some 1.8, this is actually a rather cool change. Definitely helps mix things up a bit.

Version 1.8a now available, download link in the original post. This version updates the mod for 1.8 compatibility, but also includes a bunch of bug fixes enhancements etc... quite a few of which are a result of feedback here, so thanks all. Here is the 1.8a changelog: New Stuff - Updated for compatibility with LH 1.8 - D&W monster lairs now have some different monster configurations as per the default monster lairs -

Just wanted to say that since I fixed up the likliehood values in my mod it seems to have sorted out the issues I was having, so thanks guys/Kael for reminding me about the change.... looking much better now.

[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="537" id="3510103"] New Create Sovereign Window (1280 x 1024) [/quote] Ah nice one, will try that later.

They're both issues with the base game unfortunately :(

[quote who="davrovana" reply="282" id="3506424"] dragged my feet on reporting this, maybe you've noticed it already. But the Dremorian and their Vigilant Watchtower in cities, I noticed it gave an initiative boost for the whole battle, not just the first round. This was awhile ago (before release), and I just looked at the xml and it seems to be right. If you didn't fix this recently, then maybe the tag doesn't work for improvements? [/quote] I'm g

Hi Maseren, that all sounds a bit strange. [quote who="Maseren" reply="304" id="3509785"] Any ideas at all what could even cause all this?? I think tonight I'll wipe all mods and only run yours for a bit too see if it plays better. [/quote] That's usually the best thing to try, clearing out your mods them re-adding them one at a time. The only thing I can think is, if you are running the latest COS1.8 with this version of D&W (

Also some sovs are basically crazy. Check what traits they have in that same window or thereabouts... there is one called Unstable for example that can make them declare war and do fairly random stuff.

Blood & Mana does a similar thing for the default races: https://forums.elementalgame.com/451769

I've also seen both of these issues in a recent game, AI + monsters happily sitting in the same tile on strategic..... and archers stacking together in tactical. Would be great to see them fixed next update.

Heya HF, I'm just going through doing my 1.8 update for D&W, minor one but I noticed you've added this line to the CoreMounts.xml for the two BasicHorseMounts: 0 When I think you actually meant: 1 Doesn't affect me I overwrite this file myself but you might want

Yeah they did say that somewhere, early next year-ish. My question would be, what the heck will be in it? And if we were to petition with few things could we get a few fixes/tweaks included from our peasantry wish list ?

[quote who="coyote303" reply="2" id="3509131"] However, since the game is fresh for you, I'm not sure you would appreciate that variety until you have a few games under your belt. [/quote] This is an excellent point, you really don't need any of them.. particularly at first. Once you played a bit, the quest and loot packs are quite good. If you want more map variation get the map and new battlegrounds ones. Personally I think th

[quote who="Sunray242" reply="295" id="3509176"] Is this mod compatible with children of the storm 1.8? [/quote] It should be compatible for the most part. I'll hopefully have a D&W 1.8 update shortly but the current version should still work fine. If you happen to try and find anything strange let me know.

[quote who="Subiwk" reply="290" id="3508969"] Oh an tip for your mod. Make an Hall of Fame. When I finished a game it's as if all the work was for nothing. Am I the only one with that feeling? [/quote] Nope you're not, but it can't be modded in unfortunately. We've asked Stardock a few times in the past, hopefully there will be a 2.0 update early next year so you never know...

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="292" id="3508995"] Awesome. How did you make it? [/quote] Thanks, modeled the mesh and created the texture myself.... took me bloody ages, i'm a complete hack when it comes to modelling but i've always wanted to learn a bit. I used the base kingdom male mesh as a start point and went from there. Was frustrating but fun. [e digicons]o_O[/e]

[quote who="Subiwk" reply="294" id="3509170"] Thanks NaytchSG! So simple, but if you don't know it [e digicons]:)[/e] [/quote] Yep you can scroll with the mouse, but I highly recommmed Primals mod here to make the window wider: https://forums.elementalgame.com/452109/page/1/#0 It's simple to install and works a treat.

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="3" id="3509020"] Stardock, hot fix this in please?? [/quote] 2nd that. Pls fix it, this sort of thing drives people nuts, especially those new to the game. Not good. Good spot Primal (again).

Crystal Golem coming in the next patch...
