...BTW do you have an idea when the next version will be released?



Rather not say. I've finished rewriting the CoreAbility file, but now have to do some QA and update the rest of the files to take this into account. It's moving forward, but hard to say when I'll get there. Somehow, it also seems like whenever I sit to do this stuff I'm almost immediately getting sidetracked.

Working hard to get this done.

OK Thanks; taking a break from LH to play Vietnam 65; that game can be tough.

New bug, I think. (or maybe I mis-installed something??)

Don't remember seeing this in the previous version...  I am hovering over a building in the city build window. There is no picture/name/stats, however there is a minor description. It says "A large memorial to the dead."

 

City is a Fortress.

Hum, is your DLC04 enabled? Should be the Necropolis.

 

If DLC04 isn't enable, you need to delete this:

That was it, kinda, got rid of the wrong one in that folder. Oops :)

 

Thanks!

Found a poosible typo; in Sov creation under equipment, the Gauntlets of Power have 0 point cost. I assume that's incorrect?

Another glitch: when I recruited Morgrollo, his pics didn't show up in either his army window or his sidebar icon.

Might be a memory issue? Have you recruited him before? At any rate, double-check that you have the file Medallion_Mogrollo.png in your Champion Bonanza Gfx folder. Should look like this:

My goof; somehow my medallions got deleted.

Well I'm playing 1.8d with two of my custom factions.

 

Something I noticed is that Iron Ore is not on either of my generated maps. (I set the resource level to dense). I looked in your XO_Terrains file and noticed that Iron Ore is missing.

What about other resources? Are you seeing say Crystal Crags, Temple Ruins, Wild Grains, Clay Pits, etc.? If not, it might be the excess ResourceTypes bug (Generally solved by removing CoS Rivermod if you are running both Mods).
End of Primal_Savage's quote
I'm NOT running CoS mods so that's not the problem; other resources are showing up fine. It's only Iron that's missing.

Probably just luck of the draw I guess.

Reply #823 from Elemental Forums Top

I used the cheat you suggested.....Iron Ores did generate, I just drew a bare spot.....the only setting I have on Ludicrous is Quests. False alarm, I'll reduce quest frequency.

So anyway regarding 1.8e, since you are adding mounts, I was thinking on ways to differentiate cavalry and infantry units in the game. Let's face it once you get enough mounts you have no reason to make foot units. IRL, mounted units have some disavantages compared to foot units. So I have some ideas on this:

  • Prohibit mounted units from using 2h melee weapons.
  • Maybe have Lances (similar to 1h spears) for mounted units; No Impale or CA immunity, but have higher Initiative.
  • Mounted units cannot fortify.
  • Dodge penalty for mounted units (Mounts are big targets)

 

One problem I noticed with horses is that too often the 1st turn bonuses are useless because the enemy is too far away. Maybe make charge an ability with a cooldown time?

 

Also, regarding the Tarth, I had an idea for an alternate racial trait; have Init/Atk bonus scale to unit size. Champions and Parties get full +3 bonus, each additional person in a unit imposes a -1 penalty (yes this can go negative). Is this possible?

 PS before I forget, are you going to add the other faiths in this edition?
