[quote quoting="post"]I've seen this for a while but it didn't really occur to me until I started playing with henchmen more. The scout ability is an army ability. Which sets the expectation that the ability applies to the entire army. This would make them a guide of sorts. I actually like the idea of a scout shuttling armies through dense forests. It is also something the AI can be told as well when it's deciding it's unit makeup. Thoughts? [/quote] *

In any case, not a big issue, was just wondering. I see it from time to time. But to help answer your question there may be 1300 people who played Oblivion intensely for awhile, then stopped removing everything from the computer (due to boredom or the comp

[quote who="willie sanderson" reply="21" id="3465810"] Nope UNbalaced is the way to go and leave OUT Multiplayer altogether. MOM proved it works and it's a lot more fun playing with unbalanced races than playing basically the same template just a different skin or look. I'll always want unbalanced and no multiplayer from now on. P) Multiplay ruins games variation of the factions makes them more fun and gives the game longevity like MOM. [/quote] +1

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="180" id="3465078"] Currently working on adding skeletal pedestrians. Need to update the 80+ tiles with the pedestrians I've made and will soon have an undead empire using skeletons instead of the fallen people. Unfortunately, I was unable to get Banshee's to work. But skeletons are a go. For people looking to see what I've been doing lately. I'll be going through my mods and updating them shortly with all the updates.[/quote] sweet

[quote who="Darkstare" reply="96" id="3464609"]What do I like the LEAST about LH: The graphics are childish, cartoonish and plainly ugly [/quote] I've seen this comment by many (so I'm not picking on you). I am ever so surprised many out there do not like the graphic style used. The 'childish and cartoonish' style, imo, really makes the game feel more fantasy and more alive. It's going to be the second most important thing I

[quote who="jutetrea" reply="6" id="3464611"] The creatures themselves aren't THAT useful - I use the air ones to scout and the earth ones aren't terrible. They do artificially increase your faction power to possibly help you keep up with the AIs. [/quote] I find them to be quite useful. You have to baby them a bit at the early levels, but with the right enchantments and experience, they become quite a threat.

[quote who="amanadark" reply="4" id="3464522"]the creature does respawn. i'm pretty sure it does [/quote] I believe it's 10 turns after the creature dies, the shard will spawn another. If the shard is merged into a city, you will not see the timer on the shard.

[quote who="abob101" reply="9" id="3464308"] Thanks for your thoughts all, very sensible and helpful. @ 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). [/quote] Fair enough. I was thinking the same

[quote who="XWerewolfX" reply="6" id="3463826"]Are you guys seeing these, Stardock? [/quote] if they are not....what makes you think they will see your question? :p

I would caution SD against this. Unless they plan for it will be better than the Champion Bonanza mod, I think this would frustrate the modding community further.

It is my opinion that the Tower of Dominion should be a 1 per faction building that designates 'Capital' status to the city. Building it in another city, destroys the other copy and thus moves the capital city to the new location where it is built. This would give players the option to change which cities were the 'contiguous' cities, potentially reducing unrest penalties. Extending this idea, heroes that join your cause should show up at the capital city

I don't mind DLC that doesn't implement C++ changes and could be done by modders, a lot of cool things can be added in that way. What bugged me about the leader pack was the lack of content. What did it really include as new content? 3 new sovereign traits,

[quote who="abiessener" reply="57" id="3463303"]Hey all -- First off, I'm sorry some folks find the Leader Pack DLC to be lacking. Please remember, though, that there are a lot of different kinds of players. What appeals to you may not appeal to them, and vice versa. I personally am a very min-max focused player, always looking for the optimal strategy. My cities look like tentacled abominations, every improvement down in the spot that extends my territory or connect

I agree with Kantok on this No reason in providing deconstructive critisism unless you want SD to alienate customers...which would have lasting effects with future releases like E15 and GalcivIII too mostlikely...

I caution balance. Nothing against creating new and even improved replacement to abilities. Also nothing about finding really good synergy or outright brokenness. Just that each ability should be able to stand on its own as an acceptable alternative to flavor the character. Good luck with the project. :)

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="38" id="3462910"]Agreed, but I guess I don't understand what exactly Frogboy is saying, and he has a successful track record creating AI, stories, and entire worlds. I guess it's that the game community already has a software library of cookie-cutter 4X strategy games, with source code for cookie-cutter AI for it. But once you introduce magic, how much can you reuse your cookie cutters? You're not making cookies anymore. <b
