[quote who="joeball123" reply="6" id="3477663"]I would think so, since the Diplomat class claims it reduces the cost, though I don't know if the modifier would work for a faction trait rather than a sovereign trait.[/quote] Yeah it doesn't unfortunately (as far as I can tell).

Not having played WOM, i'm always amazed at hearing about all this stuff it used to have.... sounds like it was jam packed full of stuff. Obviously it didn't quite all mesh together but you gotta admire the ideas and aspiration of the thing.

Ok cool thanks missed that. And the more Let's Plays or Dev streams for FE:LH the better.

Hi all, I need a couple of more weakness for the factions in the next D&W version. I want to have an "Isolationist" faction weakness. The idea was to give it a A_Diplomacy negative modifier but as far as I can tell A_Diplomacy doesn't work on a faction trait. Anyone got any ideas for effects of an Isolationist trait ? The other one I'm thinking of is a "Tyrannical" or

Are you trying to do this for units spawned from Monster Lairs, or some other situation?

I could be wrong on this but.... If you look in CoreMonsters.xml, you'll see there are different stats specified for different levels. You can make interesting increments there, like give a UnitType an extra move point at level 10.... but it won't au

[quote who="semithue" reply="727" id="3477129"]Hi everybody[quote] Hi there, welcome. [quote]I started LH moding some days ago, changed some modifiers for buildings, that was quiet easy. Now I'm thinking about changing the leveling system for units like ogres or golems. I would like to give them attack or defense ups every x levelups. Is there a way I can do this? I would prefer to give level up pathes to unit groups (like all ogre types), but

[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="275" id="3476799"]5. AI sovereign casts a beneficial spell on your city (channeling) You will probably need to ask abob101 if this is normal as I believe this is a D&W spell. Was the spell cast on one of those problematic cities (reported in 2. and 3.)? [/quote] Yeah that should not be possible it can only be cast on your own cities like Meditation, sounds like something is messed up.

Hmm that's kinda weird... Lots of (certain) mods can cause it but COS by itself should be ok. Someone might have some better ideas.... but i'd start by moving all the COS files out of the mod folder.. and test that (a default, empty mod folder), so that then you know for sure it's something to do with the COS install.

I don't think there's necessarily anything "wrong" with having a trait choice that provides a significant boost earlier game but less impact later game. Wealthy for example is like that.... and I think it works ok. Wealthy could be setup in several ways: +500 starting goldar (like now), early game bonus +5 gildar / turn... bonus that last all game +1 gildar/level per turn... scales into the late game Note those values are probably w

[quote who="KarlBar99" reply="2" id="3476406"]Cheers, so effectively the only way to make multiple weaknesses select-able is to move them to negative cost traits instead of weaknesses.[/quote] Yeah if you look in CoreAbilities.xml, find the Player_Weakness section, you'll see all the weakness choices are wrapped in the same AbilityBonus (Player_Weakness). Where as the traits, like Attunement.... are wrapped in their own AbilityBonus. That effectively makes the Weakne

[quote]- Removing the lightning weakness[/quote] I don't really like that one because the weakness makes "sense", gives the unit character. Also, you should check out the comments regarding golems in this thread: https://forums.elementalgame.com/455273/page/1/#3476095 Edit... ok just noticed you started this as a follow up from that thread. Personally

Yeah that's what I'm trying to avoid because if it's a Player (faction) trait, you don't know what faction/blood will have the trait because I want it to usable for custom factions. What i've decided to do for now is create a new Improvement, unlocked by the faction trait.... that automatically grants an abillity to all trained units. So that will work for any race if you create a new faction and select the faction trait. Not exactly what I was after b

[quote who="halmal242" reply="48" id="3475905"]I thought you could set a trait to unlock when the unit is created to have a second trait as its prereq. So for instance Dummy_trait1 auto-unlocks when you have blood_altair trait.[/quote] Yep you can do that with a unit design trait... but what i'm trying to do is have a faction (Player) ability trait that automatically gives all units the bonus. So for example you can use A_UnitStat_Accuracy to give all units for a

Upgrade them to Stone Walls, or cast Wall of Fire that should help.

Yeah it's a bit of a bugger, i'm working on some faction traits but there's a lot of limitations on what can be done. The only idea I have currently is to have an autocast applied to all blood traits... that boosts Attack vs Demons (or whatever) based on a new UnitStat_X. Then have the faction trait increase the UnitStat_X for all the factions units using A_UnitStat_X. So that would work for all units that have the blood but requires adding something to

Heya HF, I want to create a faction trait that provides a bonus to all faction units vs a particular unitstat (IsDemon etc). I can add it to a blood trait easy enough (like the Revenge of the Forest for Elves where they get a bonus vs ExpandedTraits_FLAG_DefendingCityWithLumberMill), but i'm really trying to do it via a faction trait. Any ideas? Cheers.

[quote who="halmal242" reply="704" id="3475742"]Well, I am not exactly sure what your problem is, but there is the elemental.str file that you can edit a simple text editor that you can look at and maybe it holds your answer.[/quote] Yep it's in there.
