Specific feedback for FE v1.291

from Elemental Forums

Feedback specifically for FE Ver 1.291:

 

CoreSpells.xml has changes to majesty spell (added), confusion, cloak of thorns, shadow world (and spell of making). All excellent fixes. Especially the AI victory type for spell of making. In my mod I increased the mana cost, but it's getting there. The spell of victory shouldn't cost 1/8th of Curgen's Volcano. *boggle*

ElementalDefs.xml has changes to min materials yield to tiles with grain (from 2 to 3), and min total yield to show (6 to 7). Both excellent changes, and I've messed with those numbers quite a bit myself.

Thrilled to see Kongdej's units incorporated into CoreUnits.xml. VERY very happy. Thank you for incorporating player work and kudos to Kongdej.

REALLY looking forward to not having the mouse offset in tactical combat. Thank you.

Also really supportive of the balance changes to city buildings. I can't wait to test this out. Please consider my input about the adventurer's guild:

However, still no typos fixed in:

CoreAbilites.xml (all abilities aren't up to date with their spells still)

CoreSpells.xml (spell descriptions vs actual spell effects)

CoreWeapons.xml (Sword of the Glacier..."Vetrar... we will destroy the world!")

CoreFlavorText.xml (If an enemy is particurly vulnerable or resistant to your attack...)

These have all been detailed in posts I've done before, and seem such simple things to correct. I ALSO have detailed typo fixes that you can literally cut and paste from my changelog notes for each file to which I've made adjustments:

Is there any way to REMOVE kongje(whatevers) units from the game? I don't want someone else's designs mucking up my games. I want MYiii designs to be the ones the AI uses not someone else's. It's all fine and dandy that he spent all that time making them up but that doesn't mean every tom richard and harry wants them in THEIR games. So please tell me how to remove those things? thanx :)

Everyone doesn't want someone else's MODS in their games that's why. ;)

I know how much you can't handle some new and exciting unit designs, and want the AI to be easy to play against, so I found your path to the file you want to be looking at.

"[Install Directory]/Data/English/CoreAIUnits.xml"
Just pick and choose the units in there. ;)

Sincerely

Isn't there a simpliar way ? That's a pain in the butt. I want it ALL removed in one click. ;) I didn't ask them to input your silly designs and I don't want that in my main core game. My designs are better anyway I don't just throw mine together without thought. ;)

You can put your own designed units in the mod folder and point to those, maybe?

You asked for everyones help by posting in a PUBLIC forum.  If you want to have a one on one chat with the devs, just email them.  Who knows, they might even read it.

You can certainly delete the file if you want, there is no one click solution.  But be aware of a few points:

1. They are in just for the AI to use.  So you won't see them, its just that the AI players have a wider range of units to select from.

2. There are already 100's of units in like this, and there always have been.  The AI doesn't design units like a human player can, instead we give it a ton of templates so it can adjust and build units based more appropriatly on its current needs and reosurces.

3. I've gone through every unit submitted to make sure they work, look good and don't contain more typos than the Stardock average (no snickering!)

4. If you delete the units it will have little impact on your game (since you wouldnt have seen them anyway) except to make the AI less effective.

But it's up to you, it is your game so you can do whatever you'd like.

Thanks Derek that's what I wanted to know if I could just delete the whole file. I prefer the AI to use the units I design because I take a lot of time designing them just as I did modding Spartan's AI and Kohan's AI's and made the "most" challenging AI's in those games. (at least for me). Imho MORE doesn't always mean "better" or "more effective". Afterall it was a handful of me(n) who helped defeat Xerxes at Thermopylae right? ;)
