[quote who="Ensais" reply="6" id="3152778"] Doh! Quoting this link,https://forums.elementalgame.com/419946 "If you're altering core game files you'll need to add the -localdataonly tag to the exe shortcut target path, otherwise your changes will be overwritten as soon as you start up a new game." Thanks Mqpiffle! EDIT2: AARGH! can anybody tell
I'd like to modify the experience needed to level. From what I understand it's exponential, but I can't find an exponent anywhere in the XML files. The stuff in elemental defs is for units (I think). Does anyone know how to do this?
I agree, it seems silly that you can't add more guys to a unit once you've researched the requisite techs.
I think the experience nerf was *way* too drastic. I used to routinely get level 20-30 after clearing the map; I'm looking at my guy and seeing 810 experience needed for level 9?? I'm getting 8-10 per battle. And I still don't even have any of the cool, interesting level abilities (crit 3, lethal 3, etc, since i've been spending it all on training/potential since I NEED EXP), let alone a level five school of magic.
Not sure if this is a bug or a feature. When you raze a city, that square and the surrounding 8 tiles are reduced to zero grain/production yield. This is stupid; frequently the AI will settle on top of a 2/2 spot when there is a 5/3 spot right next to it (I had scoped out the locations before the city was built), and when I take over the city I want to raze and rebuild on the good spot. I can't do this due to the razing mechanic however. Please change this so only the city is destroyed, o
1. If I have an existing unit, how do I upgrade unit size (e.g. 3->5->7->9 members) and how do i upgrade to new magic items like cloaks and rings? 2. How do I build a monument in one of the elemental lord areas? I've defeated the elemental lord and everyone in the area, but I can't build anything, even with my settlers right on top of the landmark that says "build a monument here". Is there some tech I'm supposed to research?
When I research, say, the "Groups" tech which raises my unit size from 3 to 5, do my existing units automatically upgrade to the new size, and if not, how do I upgrade them?
Sometimes when I'm designing a unit and save, the unit doesn't appear on the units list screen, and will not save no matter how many times I repeat the creation process. I'm forced to save and reload to be able to create the unit. I've noticed this often occurs in tandem with another bug, the unit's weapon not appearing. I've seen it happen several times with an axe/shield unit. I can't reproduce it consistently.
Cast shrink on an enemy then kill it. The enemy will display its death animation twice, once for the shrunken model, then again for the full size model. After the second animation completes, the battle will not continue. It will be the turn of whoever struck the killing blow, but there will be no option to skip or go forward. Fast-forwarding doesn't work. Auto-completing the battle does, except that you get no experience for killing the shrunken unit (e.g. the summary screen will show zer
