But you can build a butcher in another city. You cannot build another base in the same city, but you can build one in a different city. But I think I'm good with that since the bonus is small and the time spent on building it shouldn't hamper the AI too much, since the AI would only be able to build the second building if they won the build race the first time. I'm not worried the AI would waste any real time since there is still a benefit to building these bases (not a big one though).

Good Morning Parrotmath.

As an FYI, I've taken the liberty of modding your wonderbase mod to have an 80//20 production split for the base//wonder as well as changed the Fame to 5//25 respectively with the acception of the MerchantCross and Ironworks which only provide 2//10 respectively. So far, from testing, I've been pretty pleased with the results.

Got a question about hiding in the hiergemenon.....seems that because the world achievement exists in 2 locations, the game wants to post the icon twice over. This is perhaps because you've prereq'd the tech again in your mod? As a test, I've removed the prereq lines from the Mechantcross in your mod and it appears to be working (EDIT: Have now played it out and tried to build it. It works. The prereq is not required.):

If this indeed successfully removes the duplicate icon in the tech tree, I recommend removing the prereq from all of them to clean things up.

EDIT: I've also been looking to udating the CoreImprovements.xml world achievements from your mod. Apparently, anything I put in a mod gets duplicated. Therefore, at the most, it would be possible to have 2 Fame bonuses per world achievement....the original for +10 Fame and the addition for +15 Fame.

Here's the file with all the changes if you want it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/978rj6ccz03x9ax/GFEWonderBaseLH.xml

EDit2: Still looking for a way to hide the 'base' if the wonder is built...

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, this is possible, but it requires a core file change.

Fine CoreRaceTypes.xml

Change the line

<GenericUnitType_Other>Generic_Henchman</GenericUnitType_Other>

to

<GenericUnitType_Other>Generic_Henchwoman</GenericUnitType_Other>

Then you will have henchwomen as the generic version instead of the henchman. I don't believe I can change this from the mods directory.

The game already upgrades all the weaponry. I've nerfed it specifically because I had a Slag, attack a level 2 city (a town specifically, not a fortress) with the chain armor and I easily destroyed the Slag in FE. I toned it down for LH simply because I didn't think a Slag should fall to simple militia without some effort. The mod is not to replace the fact that you need to train some troops and station them in the cities for defense. Only augment the defenses to make them more useful. I'll do some more tests, but I'm not sure I need to beef up the armor for these militia.

Yes there was a horrid exploit of getting rid of ALL swamp next to your city giving you free rein in building what-ever you liked in the swamp area or setting up a road through the swamp. Unfortunately this is not what I intended with the mod. To re-enable snaking there are some commented sections in the file

SwampGardenImprovement.xml

PitchPitImprovement.xml

all you need to do is remove the comments, but here is a file that you can include in the mods directory to provide snaking for these features.

Coming soon Monster Mayhem... Grabbing loot may lead to some disastrous consequences.

Good Morning Parrotmath:

Have two ideas for mods....that are clearly outside of my ability....but may be within yours, providing that you are willing of coarse.

1) I've never liked the fact that you can expand your city and eventually see fertile tiles popping up on the edge of your ZoC. Is it possible to change the range in which you can separate cities from 'X tiles from city-hub' to 'X-tiles from city-type tiles' ?? The intension of this mod wouldn't restrict cities from growing towards eachother (with the two tile limit...unless you incorporate a resource)...but would simply fix unwanted fetile territory from showing up all the time.

2) I've never liked the fact that building city changes the tile type to city-type because of what effect those tiles have on the terrain around them. Everything gets brutally flattened. Is it possible to have several types of city-type tile available for the game to select the 'closest' one mirroring the landscape below? It wouldn't have to be perfect....maybe 12 tile designs: 4 that are raised corners and, 4 that are raised sides, and 4 that are raised three-corners. Naturally...only 3 tiles would be needed and the others are rotated version of that tile. Objective of course to to make the cities curve with the terrain in the same manner than outposts already can.

Thoughts? Comments?

Yes, I was refering to that in that you could still build towards eachother from 2 existing cities. The objective that I was refering to was to eliminate the possibility of a second city location becoming available due to city ZoC expansion.

Added a maul debuff change (something to balance out the maul ability... still powerful, but prevents infinite mauling)

I don't know why it showed up for Ceresa, I do have it restricted via allegiance, and forgot to hide it. During that check I did notice another error with the water shrine and temple, that might occur which I did fix. So everything should be working correctly now. Also, there was another minor error about upgrading to the next life shrine and temple. This is all fixed in .80 thanks for the check.

Good Morning Parrotmath

Had a problem with my city miltia and started a post here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/446106/page/1/

After some tinkering, I've found that the problem somehow lies within your Armored Militia Mod.

So far, both games I've played where I've noticed the lack of city militia defense was when I was playing an Armarian race. Don't know if it's limited to that....but that may help you narrow it down.

Sweet. It appears to be fixed. I'm getting the 6x3 for attack now. Won't know completely for certain until I get a city attacked.

Thanks for looking into the matter so quickly.

Good Morning

Just trying out your Kingdom Binding Mod now.

Started off near a Life Shard, so I got to have an early look at your Iru Servant. WOW. Haven't used it yet, but looks very powerful.

I noticed that the Iru Servant wasn't a Young Iru Servant. Is that suppose to be the case?

Will I be getting an even stronger Iru Servant when I get the Shrine built?

Can I expect similar power levels in the other Shard creatures...when I come across them?

Thanks

KK.

Then the Young Iru Servant is very powerful.

Imo, it could do without the Endurance and the Death Ward abilities. The Angelic Longsword is a tad too much attack aswell....maybe 12 is better? The Gladiator Armor is pretty powerful too. Having the Iru a little more fragile would help balance out it's solid attack and versatile manuverability.

That said, it is your mod.

The Lightning Form is pure genius! Awesome way to create a new mechanic for the game. Love it! It's quite flexible too. While the obvious use would be to cross through the enemy, you can use it to move an extra 5 squares towards...or away...from that enemy.
