MODS

from Elemental Forums

I for one am very much looking forward to MODS and to the further...shall I call it polishing...of the basic game.

Has anyone come up with a MOD that makes the AI have to find a wife just as you do?

With a MOD that gives you enough points to make all of the basic sovereigns?  (as in MoM...where you could make any of the basic wizards in custom mode)?

I'm even looking forward to a player-made MOD that gives the game a master of magic feel.  I might not use it every time.  But I'm getting tired of DOSBOX and want an upgrade to this awesome classic game.  Maybe the devs could do this with the Modding tools at some point, though that's probably asking a little much.

I have been building some tiles for a quest line but it looks like all you can do is upload maps. I am going to wait a bit before I start really digging in. The editing tools are great though.

One game that I played here, it was like 300 turns before I met the Kraxis Empire. I tried to talk to him about dynasties and he just wouldn't have anything of it. A hundred turns later, he calls me up asking if I've a daughter to marry his son basically. To get the diplomatic boost (and I had a daughter I just didn't want to bother try raising up to be a decent channeler), I married her to his son.

When I checked my dynasty screen, my daughter was "second in line for the throne of Kraxis"--as wife of his son. His ONLY son. At around turn 400. So, yes, the AI does have some difficulty at times in finding a wife. It was a bit of a relief to see.

I haven't found out where the wives are declared (for the AI, the units are an easy find as they are "sovereigns"). Try the "Abilities and Traits Mod" and see if you like the new stuff. You don't get more points but there are new abilities and traits.
