Kraxis has always had the Broken Loyalties ability. I agree in that a simple gold fee is able to purchase an entire city. Having an additional limitation added to the spell would go a long way towards balance, imo. Whether that be through and additional Fame fee or through a city unrest threshold; that would need to be played with.

You are not offered the wonder because an AI has already started to build it. LH wonders are not a race to completion as in the Civ series. Once you earmark the build, you can have it sit in your queue indefinately and reserve rights to build. If you don't like this approach, I recommend Parrotmath's Wonders mod; adds pre-wonder structures that are 90% of the cost a fraction of the bonus and you race that. Win that gives the right to earn the wonder construction. <p

[quote who="davrovana" reply="2" id="3471697"]In my experience, those city level up abilities are buggy (hard code issues override modding attempts), and the city level up window doesn't support more than 3 choices. If there's a way around, however, I totally support additional choices at each level up (even level 6 and 7). [/quote] maybe don't support more than... Instead have 3/X random selections each level up. Yes, this means that you&#3

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="127" id="3471206"] It seems he spent most of it on the new spell target type. I hope he got it working and still has time to finish off the list.[/quote] Indeed. and while, from my comments above, I would have preferred more low hanging fruit as opposed to an expansion type mechanic added, I'm certain a new spell type would help the up coming Spells DLC that he plans to release...

all right. you got me. With the 16 hours Frogboy's put in, I'll buy the Leaders Pack.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="112" id="3470712"]Thanks. Yea, the spell stuff is much more time consuming. I've added a new type of spell class called Target All Enemy Champions and I fixed some bugs that was causing the AI not to be able to cast AOE spells effectively. I'm not familiar with ValueCalcWrappers but I'll look. [/quote] If the spell stuff is the most time consuming, I humbly advise you to wait until last bef

This is a bug with the game that has been mentioned before. The building razing feature is a bit gibbled. Permanent effects (like ZoC increases) are not undone upon the destruction of coorisponding building. For the most part this does not matter because there is no reason to be destroying your own buildings. If however, if a mechanic were introduced whereby there was a %chance of buildings being destroyed when a city was conquered (by player/AI/ravaging beasts),

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="101" id="3470553"]Nice one JJ... I can see an interview with him. Nooooooooo, There is no falcon in EP VII ( As Orci goes Cough Cough BULLSHIT!).. As we see it being constructed plain as day in the background :/ I am kinda glad they are going "old school" instead of relying on CGI effects. However all of that eye candy don't matter if the story sucks (into darkness). (Episode I, II, and III) [/

I have yet to see something beat Star Wars VI, the Battle of Endor in terms of full battle sequence. I even have a cut version so that I can just watch the entire space battle without going over to the other two plots taking place. (heh...on youtube as well) Number 2 for me definately goes to Serenity: "Somebody FIRE!". Jam-packed full of action with "I am a leaf on the wind" guiding the screen capture. Love it. [vide

Really interesting that you're putting together a 'path of the Banshee' tree. However, will it be generic enough such that any hero could take it? Food for thought...

[quote who="Alstein" reply="125" id="3470486"]That wouldn't solve anything- people generally don't build units much outside of fortresses. [/quote] I love building units out of Conclaves. Slower production, but the enchantment bonus on a 5-6 essence city is amazing. About the only times I build from towns are when I need cannon fodder....fast. However, the suggestions listed above capture that.

[quote who="NaytchSG" reply="122" id="3470419"] 1) Another idea: only fortresses can train higher level "designed" troops. Towns and conclaves can build spear levies and bowmen only. Perhaps conclaves could impart magical bonuses to the troops from there and town troops are always one squad level ahead of trained troops to reflect quantity over quality? 2) Additional thought: A conclave gains elemental defenders based

That. Is. Awesome. Maybe Dhuran's undead mod would be wanting to make use of it for an alternate sovereign choice? It looks as though she has an undead horse. Doesn't seem right for a creature that can fly. With her especially powerful resistance to everything, I recommend eliminating the ability to have a mount.

[quote who="Alstein" reply="120" id="3470135"] I feel in general the big problem with LH is that many choices have obvious answers- I don't have to think much. [/quote] I find that one of the primary proponenets to this is that the buildings have no maintenance cost associated with them. If there were some kinda of limiter, difficult choices would need to be made in order to best design your city. And maybe maintenance cost

[quote who="Rotlung" reply="97" id="3469901"] Wheeee! So the AI might build consulates after all, which would be pretty good for Undead I hope![/quote] Consulates are probably going to be nerfed...

[quote who="Ericridge" reply="86" id="3469724"] While this thread is still up I think I better ask u frogboy while you're doing this.. is the AI even aware of the unrest reducing buildings? If not, could you put in a script or something that tells the AI to start building those kind of stuff once it reaches a certain percentage of unrest and test how well it works? Its very likely that current inability to manage the unrest is one of the biggest things holding the AI back from being

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="70" id="3469428"]Of course, I realize that NO ONE has ever complained about pathfinding in this game... [/quote] The biggest issue I have with pathfinding is when you select your unit to travel along a road and the AI has it's ZoC covering. The unit choses to path off the road in an attempt to go around the ZoC instead of just travelling through it. I would be even fine if, whenever this instance occured, a pop-up message came up while zooming o

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="72" id="3469653"]Little update on updating the stamps: Reduced 43% Original 1311 x 1006 [/quote] neato What happens when you cast Lower Terrain? Am also very curious as to your thoughts on the squad size tests?

[quote who="BernieTime" reply="4" id="3469279"]The existing Razing mechanic is complete rubbish. A lone bear wanders into a fledgling town and it gets turned to dust just because.. [/quote] agreed. I think it would be facinating if instead the bear would conquar the city and it would become its lair, pumping out more bears. You would then need to take your city back.

Could we have more use from all the little extras collected along the way? I'm thinking of wolf pelts, skrath skins, love notes, etc. It would be really nice if they created little Easter eggs or items or something.
