I plan on having 8 - 12 total "players", 4 which are playable. the 4 players will be human/ai controlled with faction exclusive events granted through unique resources, buildings or something else. The remaining 8 will preferably spawn from events. One idea is to have your faction "conquer" a fourth city, and 2 specific cities will be event conquered. Another is to have the extra factions have no starting point and spawn a city (or pioneer) at a certain point. Of course

Everyone seems to know just a bit more than me, and between all the helpful people like you, heavenfall, sean and parrottmouth, I think any project, even painful ones, can be completed by amateurs. I enjoy putting my ideas together and sharing them because my own idea might help someone else finish their project as well. Currently, my project has a design goal to work as a scenario more than a mod. The world would start with no monsters spa

Wow, smart! I didn't realize I could use a hidden resource with FactionResourceLevel, I wondered what that was for. If I can use that for subquests, that would be preferable. I am still working on making A or B choices that "continue" the quest down a different line. A quest might have 6 tasks before complete, each step offering a choice on how to proceed. Quests are more difficult than anything i have done before, so I am still learning how to get started on that.

I get it, so I can have a faction with 4 traits, or a faction with 3 traits. I noticed I can also have faction exclusive traits. I just need to keep in line unit design for those special factions.

In my proposition, you could raze the city to build a specialized city however it wouldn't give any of the units, the units WOULD be the specialization and with all the essence you could build monsters that can be enchanted with 4-6 enchantments. build all your essence increase there.

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="19" id="3344462"] Wow. So much disdain for Merc camps. Why hasn't SD noticed this underappriciation for this currently developed mechanic? Imo, having a mercenary camp of any kind should be OPTIONAL as to whether you want to have a troop produced. To build a unit, there should be a button on the camp that does so. There should NOT be auto-building of units....EVER. The stats and upkeep of the unit should be properl

I will offer them -20 gpt and increase inflation XD

They should add a nice unique bonus or something to the City Hubs for it, maybe the ability to train darklings in the city? Warrior, Archer, Shaman would be the 3 types and I would mod it to summon them akin to the Binding Shards and Camp Improvements, however they would be unable to upgrade weapons/armor and wouldn't impress. Unless their art tags are ported to a unit design model? They are of appropriate size to wear/carry most weapon/armors. I will look into that.

Sounds like you edited your core files! Go to properties, validate files and backup your changes because the files will "Fail to validate" and be replaced. At that time, it will update.

I like Master of Mana, WIldmana, Orbis, Fall Further and Rise of Erebus. Kael is a legend.

I think they wanted to encourage troops to be built anywhere not just fortresses, but they figured out they can't ever convince me so that conclave building is just a "remnant", I would have it work toward ALL cities not just that city so that at least the improvement might get built.

1. I like the idea of a repeatable trait, similar to repeatable tech research. 2. I also favor giving second class tree at level 30, which should give enough perks to fix that. I suppose you could add another at 50 and 80 for those who want a 100 level hero. Hey, most of us played old school Final Fantasy and loved getting every character to level 99, with every esper/materia at top level.

I would like an event, that occurs when a strong empire declares war against a weak one (which does not trigger on blood curse). This event will spawn 800 Gold, 100 metal, crystal, 20 wargs, 20 horses, and +4 levels for all currently existing units. This would represent the populace, mercenaries and others to "come together" for a "Last Stand". This would be a ONE time event that once it happens, will not happen for the same nation again (to prevent a nation from going

One thing I really hate when I unlock a tech is designing units. Some people really enjoy this and others frankly, don't. One of the reasons I don't enjoy it is because I have to create multiple copies of my units for the AI to utilize them. This means I have to create: Archer, Horse Archer, Warg Archer, Armored Archer, Armored Horse Archer, Armored Warg Archer, Light Archer, Light Horse Archer, Light Warg Archer: This will give me several copies of the SAME UNI

Uhm, this mod redefines the game for me. don't know if i can ever play without it again.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="93" id="3343274"]Now, you have more trait slots (without adding more) to choose for your character instead. This allows you to make more dynamic troops... The strategic depth is not reduced but increased. They are adding some great potential here for troop design instead of adding trait slots.[/quote] Of course the difference is that flaws that reduce strength are more meaningful, and because heavier armor is more viable to use, I won&#39

Legendary Heroes is nice, especially with the map pack. Many of the features you wouldn't like can be addressed with mods (if you want snaking, or building on the other side of a river, buildings that can be placed on swamp tiles, choosing a hero when you want to). LH has a few quirks: Don't put champions in a stack together because EXP distribution will make them worthless. Overall, I would say yes, the beta is receiving support and updat

Great! Will use, and thanks.

wait til you see megalopolis someday. change cities to Distance 6, use snaking, snake 2 cities close to each other, and "merge" them. [quote who="halmal242" reply="89" id="3343226"] I would happily mod it back in along with the armor/weapons mod I have been messing around for a while now.[/quote] I hope so! I am tinkering with items, weapons, armor, spells and other things to make modular. Like to be compatible with as

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="3343151"]I think it's safe to say that at this point, the market has gone with Steam. I put my money where my mouth was and spent millions on an alternative -- Impulse. So I think it's safe to say I tried to provide consumers with an alternative. [/quote] Why u think im not mad at LH being steam only? You guys tried. I do suggest this, one thing that held the Civ5 Steam Exclusive tensions was the integrated Steam Wor

It is moddable, meaning a copy can be read from the /mygames directory however the ENTIRE file has to be present because the old one won't read. This means you can't just copy-paste a snip, you need the entire file, with the 1-2 changes you made. Before, you had to mod it in the core file because if you moved a copy into /mygames directory, it would have hundreds of strange oddities in behavior because it would read the /Steam directory file, then attempt to mod

[quote quoting="post"] (I know the forum-goers are not the whole player base, but I think on the forums there would be a lot of the most interested people playing the game right now due to buying into (or getting free) the beta.) 1. Would you support a test option of no-XP splitting for heroes? 2. Would you support game options for higher base experience and higher Tough fight experience, to see whether it makes the Legendary Heroes concept work?<

I changed my stance, Commander is OP because of Trainer and no other reason. I suppose giving army accuracy until that point is pretty good for archer lines. Mage is good because of Knowledge + Potential. So good, I never choose anything else, my first 4 upgrades are already chosen, instead of leveling just give me a script to auto-choose. Everything else... meh. I can design a unit with it.

Maybe the AI knows that monsters aren't likely to hit their newly founded cities or pioneers?

I agree, however I think it should instead remove 50% of the split. I also believe 50% of the split should be removed period. Thus, 50% split removed for everyone, and the other 50% removed with using that trait.
