Oh! Thank you for the super fast reply!

1 - I'll take a deep look at the tag list we have so far  and try to figure out how this XML to XSD converter works!

2 - Humm, so there is no way to set it for each separated city? My goal was to limit the number of units inside the city walls to prevent an abuse of my intended mod.

The mod (at the first stage) should consist of a worker unit that gives 1+ prod to the city it is stationed x the number of 'units' in its squad. (ex. group of 3 workers = 3 + production bonus to the city is stationed in, squad = 4+ prod etc..)

But I'm also having problems with setting this production bonus inside a weapon... perhaps there is a way to multiply a unit bonus by the number of "people" in its group?

3 - Sorry, didn't understand, you mean city defenders?

4 - Ok, thanks for that, I'll take a look at this in your mod as soon as I figure out a way to add the prod bonus to the weapon.

Oh, very nice! Thanks for the tip!

2- I see, I'll try to think on a workaround for this... I've seen somewhere around here that elemental game used to support python modding, there is still some support for that? Or perhaps lua?

I believe that this feature whould allow a lot of new strategies, as villages will be much more difficult to protect, and big fortress will allow a better group of defenders...

Also, a big problem that I'm having with LH modding is the need to restart the program and game every time I change something in the xml mods folder. There is a way to have a more "realtime" modding?

At least that I don't have to restart the whole program? Perhaps mod the savefile xml?

Thanks for the help!

Ohh... That's pretty sad... =p I was expecting that there was at least some way to make the testing process a little less tedious, but that's is fine... I think I must try to plan ahead the changes well, for it takes me good 10min to be able to reload all!

Sure, it's very interesting, I dig in it for sometime. I'm sure that will open lots of oportunities, the best thing would be a mod documentation from stardock, but as far as I can see about the others issues in game, that wont be a priority so soon...


Its great! I had been thinking about the possibility of modding the production per material tags, I'm glad to know it is!

Thanks for all!

Hi Abob,

So..

1 - Well and many games do not, at least they will not require both game and program restart. That's my main problem with it, but that's also ok!

2 - Not (as far as I (and primal too) know) for what I mean to change is the guarison number localy for each city. There seem to be a global (all factions) tag for it, but it shouldn't help with this issue.

3- Well, pretty old first i5 laptop line I think. 10 min is about the whole process: exit program -> restart program -> choose lider -> choose game settings -> load game -> create city -> etc...

No problem, that would allow a much quicker solution I'm sure about that!

But I still cannot put the mod to work as I cannot do 2 (I also thought would be simple, stuff)

1 -Make a special effect (or attribute) of a weapon to multiply to the number of units in a squad.

2 - Allow a weapon to have a effect link (give X gildar (mana, research, etc) to the city its (that the unit wielding it is ) stationated in. Or at least to allow TroopCount to work with a unit special ability

I have seen that TroopCount works well with spells, perhaps I could create a workaround for that using them, but that creates a whole layer of complication specially regarding strategic spells.

I got success when trying to give a production bonus through a unit to a city. But not gildar and mana (and that is important because of the city bonuses that are not applied if the unit give it directly to the mana pool (even the tech ones...).

Hum, that's great I didnt think about those summoning spells, they might be the key! Thank you very much! =D

Hey Space,

There are some post around the forum about this moddings, (I believe they could get as far as 20! units around), but anyway, you should achieve that by modding the CoreUnitGroupingTypes.xml file!

Good luck!

Is there any way to give a faction shop discounts for champions?

Use the Capitar faction as a basis for your new faction and you will get a 20% discount.

Note that some issues exist when multiple Capitar factions are used, see here.

Q1:

The tag "UnitJoinArmy" - any way to get this to spawn in the neighboring tile or is that not possible?

Q2:

 Could each faction's city level up be changed? For example when you level up for a city, you get 3 choices. Could that somehow be modified for each faction so that each faction got different upgrades?

The individual improvements are in the CoreAbilitiles, like "CityLevel_UnlockLevel2", but what controls when each one is activated? Or is that hard coded?

Edit:

Looks like:

        <GameModifier>
            <ModType>LevelBarrier</ModType>
            <Attribute>Population</Attribute>
            <Value>x</Value>
            <CityUpgrade>x</CityUpgrade>
        </GameModifier>

Could mod this I guess.

But how to get the options for each level up to change per faction?

Heya folks. Picked up this game several months ago, and I've been brewing up mod ideas. I'm curious if anyone knows if this is possible.

1. Converting the race of any champions you recruit through fame/quests to your own race/faction. I'm envisioning a 'Dead' faction Sovereign 'bringing someone into the fold' so to speak, perhaps via some sort of spell or the like.

2. Follow-up the above: How feasible would it be to create a new model for that character on the fly in the game? Can it even be done?
