I tried everything I can think of, including opt out of beta, but cannot get mod to work allthough it does cause a strange glitch, see middle top of this pic.

@Tattyhat - Cool glad you got it working.  I didn't realise it worked from the mod folder, that's even better (thanks for the info).

@_Flector_ - Yep that one was a bit too high contrast for my tastes also.  I've done another one that is somewhere in between that I now use... might even turn it down another notch in future.  Thanks for posting the screenshots btw.

I anyone want so try these, here are the new links to the two files:

High Contract version:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/100348448/TileSelectionTextureHigh_Tactical.dds.highcontrast

Mid Contract version:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/100348448/TileSelectionTexture_Tactical.dds.midcontract

Just save the file (removing the .highcontrast / .midcontast from the end) to your documents/my games/LegendaryHeroes/mods/gfx, make sure mods are turned on and you're good to go.

If the Stardock gang don't adjust it officially next release i'll post this in the mod forum properly so others can find it.

Cheers.

I noticed that the population requirements for cities has been modified.  120 for L3, etc.  Not listed in changelog.

Also noticed that the population meter shown in the main screen UI no longer has a shaded section denoting how far your population can grow.  You can still see the shaded section in the City Details screen.

@MozRat, you can follow the instructions of Derek of how to properly report an issue, providing a savegame and a crash report (in your very own topic). But without any specific information I doubt someone can help.

Yeah, it seems to have gone away since installing the high contrast mod.

being playing the latest update 1.4 - these are some feedback that cause gameplay to become slowwwww.....

1) clearing forest around towns still dont work - why have this feature when it really serve no purpose but to make player do more work?

     after a while when i kept trying to clear imaginary foreest, i just ignore this feature and there is no difference in the game

2) setting my army in outpost to guard mode still make them appear when i need to tab between my armies

   it is annoying that i have to keep tabbing to cycle thru several outposts which have armies guarding it in order to find a army still on the move

   when a army has been set to guard mode. it should not be auto selected 

3) because resource and outpost improvements are auto-pegged to some near by towns

    i have to keep clicking on built to see if there are any improvements still waiting to be built and it is becoming a lot of click fest and causing me

    tired fingers and slow turn rate - the game pace become really slow once i have a lot of towns 

it would be good if there is a auto built option to click on once the towns already have all the improvements built and it now only doing on going 

research or growth etc. then there is no need to worry if there are a impending improvement to be built because i just click on a resource or outpost nearby

4) now the 1.4 game is more lively because the monsters seems to be more aware and more willing to attack towns and player

    to make it more realistic and also brutal at the same time, is it possible to tweak the monster AI so that

a) at empire frontiers - any monsters are aggressive and will attack frequently

only monsters of increasingly ( ? higher ) levels should and can venture deeper ( ? step depth )into a empire - so this will make it more realistic in that only very high level monsters dared to venture deep into civilization. not like now where any monsters can wonder all over the place and most are too weak to take on a city

c) and when a monster is too near ( ? steps ) a city, a count down timer should operate where after a ( ? number ) of turns. if the player did not take care of this monster problem, it will attack that city

again this is realistic because the empire sure be aware that a high level monster is rampaging near by. so the army should have been notified

and should be on the way or else, all hell break loose

using the above method, the monster will behave in a more intelligent manner automatically without having to code complex AI type routines

just get the monsters to keep trying to enter the empires and moving around within their band of comfort levels while more powerful monsters

moving further into the empire into their own comfort band and of course the most powerful monsters running all over the place and

no one can stop then yet but of course the more powerful the monsters, the longer their rampage count down timer is, so since they move randomly. they may not attack a city if they move off before their rampage counter times out

just a simple table lookup will work. in fact this table look up can also be make available to players to tweak to fine tune difficulty levels

all the above suggestion should really make FELH feel like a real life game and also move at a fast pace instead of now where a average sized empire wiht 3 opponents took me 6 hours or more to play - still too much a chore managing the towns and cities

5) any thought on player crafting - weapons and armour. this will be the icing on the cake and will finally crown FELH as the true successor to MASTER OF MAGIC 

still further to my post

one suggestion - i am still playing the game while writing this

move the city name bar where the arrow selector is to the bottom of the built menu

then, this way, the built menu height do not matter any more

but i think it is easier and faster and less changes to just add keyboard short cut

but you may want to fix still for those who only uses the mouse

main idea for long winded games - do not have too much management to do or it will cause player to lose interest eventually

i love playing this game but seldom complete it because it drags after a while due to all this micro management

Derek, AI still casts Wither on caravans. Experienced that in my current 1.4 game with Resoln. Will try to get screenshot of that...

Markin was actually able to Tremor me sufficiently even back in 1.3. Shame there is no follow up, like sally from nearest fort.

This way its just a little...delay.

Sorry you're not liking what we have planned for 1.4.  Different things take different amounts of time to do.  But the release schedule for updates is pretty hard baked (we have to schedule QA time). 

I wanted 1.4 to be mainly about UI for instance.  But the resources for doing that aren't entirely free so there's a delay on some of that.   I have my own rather endless laundry list myself.

Fixed, thanks!
