If you want to capture Umberdroths be a beastlord, having my sovereign running around with an Umberdroth or two (or three or four if you're really lucky) is one of the main reasons I take that trait.  Plus brilliance for the magic power.  If you do that, on the quest where you can find or fight an Umberdroth it will be much higher lvl if you fight and tame it then if you get it via the quest.  Although that probably is influenced by the monster lvl settings from your game, I play on max monsters at max lvl.

That plus a commander with an army of cave bears is doable early game and is pretty deadly (literally :) ), which is why beastlord is my favourite background.

I have a question about the loot tables, because I am wondering how completely random certain items are.  In the game I abandoned because I didn't install the mod fully I had found me a bear tooth, which was pretty freaking amazing as it gives maul.  Do only bears drop it, and if so can it be from any bear or only certain bears?  

Also, I am curious if taming as opposed to killing affects loot.  Certain mobs I almost always try and tame, like cave bears, the big spiders, etc., and I was curious if I might be missing out on higher lvl loots, in particular the bear tooth.

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been away for a bit but Iv'e been bust with truck driving.....also I had to get a new laptop since my old one got coke spilled on the keyboard. :annoyed:  Anyway, after some work, I've been playing Xd for a bit finetuning my custom factions. Now I;m satisfied enough to post my updated factions which can be found here.

 

So here are my Custom Factions and Leaders (Note: All are Kingdoms; designed to balance out all the Empires).

  • Dominion of Vestalla (Krax): A Kingdom founded by Krax fleeing the Kingdoms to the Wastes to avoid persecution for their race's betrayal. Basically a warrior kingdom with increased attack, defense and initiative plus One handed spears and great crossbows...the most militant of the Kingdoms. Leader: Dominus Kashadda A Shaman/Planeswalker with both Life AND Death magic. Powerful healer/fighter skilled in surgery, immune to poisons, brews beer. Fiery temper.
  • Royaume de la Reussite (Kingdom of the Successful)(Mancers): Successor Kingdom arising from the fall of Capitar. Wealthy Bankers with mobile Cavalry armies. Leader: Lady Lali A descendant of Serrane who survived Carrodus's purges, overthrew and killed him. An Air channeler who is very wealthy and charismatic, utterly fearless and quite vain.
  • The Skarps Guild (Ironeers) A faction of Ironeers who revolted against Gilden because they distrust Markin and Sanjo. VERY resistant to magic,they are EXTREMELY tough. Leader: Lady Gertran: For many years, Gertran, a miner's daughter who followed in his footsteps was the happily married wife of Lord Markinn. She stayed faithful to him during his absence, leading the Skarps mining Guild....until Markinn returned with a new consort; Sanjo. When Markinn founded his new kingdom with Sanjo, eliminating many of his rivals, Gertran was furious at being so callously abandoned. She rallied those opposed to Markinn and Sanjo, vowing to reclaim control of the Ironeers from her faithless husband and his evil consort. A very tough, strong woman.
  • Kingdom of Urxia (Urxen) An Urxen Kingdom founded by Princess Urxia to challenge Kulan for leadership of the Urxen; Standard Urxen plus betrayer trait (recruits champs from both sides). Leader: Princess Urxia (from Champion Bonanaza) Last survivor of the Royal Family, she spent years running from Kulan's Assassins; Now however, she has an army of loyal Urxen plus champions from both sides.

BTW one suggestion I have for a future update would be to add polearm weapons like halberds and voulges (both from the Demons and Wizards mod);

I suggest the halberd to be a spear class weapon similar in stats to the Pike with an increased attack of 20 and the added abilities of Yank and cleave, while the voulge would be basically an axe with the added ability to impale.

 

Pollaxes would be another possible weapon; basically take the standard warhammer, add a spike at the top and extend the handle to make a two handed weapon. It can bash, impale and yank. (BTW here's a hilarious video about Poleaxes.).

 

One thing I noticed looking at the Boar spear is how far down the wings were; if you replace the shaft and spear tip with a sword blade, you would have a swordstaff (yes this is a real weapon BTW).

One thing I noticed was all the Hergon related stuff like tusks, tenderloin etc. So I thought "How about a Hergon trait?"

 

SO here's my idea for a new trait: "Hergon breeders":

 

  • Faction can build Hergon ranches to breed Hergons.
  • Hergon Tenderloin replaces Salted pork in faction's shops.
  • Hergon mounts available for champs and trained units with tech "Mounted warfare".
  • Improvement: "Hergon Market", increases food and Gildar in city.
  • Hergon based weaponry available in shops and for trained units; in addition to the basic tusk, I suggest a Hergon spear (tusk attached to a shaft). Ideas for additional weapons welcomed.
  • Wild Hergon defeated in battle are added to the faction's Hergon stock; sows increase the number of Hergons created per turn.

 

(Note: if any other faction points out the Convention on Wild Fauna, point out it does not apply to bred Hergons.)

HI.

First off great mod!

I do have a few minor issues though:

1) Some of the Strategic spell bookmarkers have "String not found" as names (like the Buy and Sell ones).

2) Monster armies that have "’s" at the end usually have "#B" or something like that instead.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Ah great, first issue fixed and I understand the 2nd.

This mod has so many options, fantastic!

Two more issues though:

3) When I go into unit details and click "Equipment" my equipment appears under the unit details text.

4) I got the Brago quest twice (where the guy challenges you to a duel).

I really like this mod and thanks for making it. Some minor bugs with it though.

 

Some items that aren't equippable or don't work. The Elemental Wand does not work for ranged attacks. The Wave Cresting Boots (i forget their name) are not equippable by any hero as far as i can see (are they meant to be mage only or something?). Neither are the Practice Buckler or the Armbands of Integrity.

What do all the halfdrake camps and stuff do? Do they add those creatures to the garrison or what? Or are they Empire only?

Life Paramountcy doesn't seem to work (maybe because i'm casting it on shards upgraded to shrines? don't know - it uses up the mana but doesn't change the shard/shrine type)

 

Edity - did work, but the turn after i'd cast it

Man I just read through the Users Guide and I am blown away all the options - thank you for all this work!

Another question:

Why i polymath under weakness? As far as I can see all it does is add 2 design points (which is a good thing).

Ah I see, very nice, thanks!
