That shouldn't be hard to do... maybe add a bridge building to go across rivers too. Before I mod anything in the game though, we should wait till its relatively feature closed.

Good to know that my mod does work for LH.

For those that are going to use mods during the beta, I strongly recommend that when you report problems with the game, do so when only running a vanilla version of the beta.

If there are problems with any of my mods in the beta process I'm not going to keep them up-to-date at the moment (mostly because I haven't purchased LH, yes I'm one of the few that actually have to buy this expansion). Note in particular with the snaking mod that if stardock introduced any sub-terrain types of land, you will get some strange behavior when placing logging camps and piers.

I like this list.

My thought exactly Galactic Hunter. I already love to pick Scrying Pools and Oracle is a compulsory upgrade for my conclaves. They don't need buffing, if anything other options need buffing to be on an even footing with them.

The other points are pretty good though.

Bridge, Snaking and 2 essence oracle/scrying pool are mandatory.

quicker level up tweaks and most importantly, I combine 3-stage abilities into 2-stage abilities to create room for a "new third" ability. I increase the intensity of stage 1-2 then make stage 3 do something else.

Henchmen for everyone

Female Henchmen

Only recently did it occur I could "fish out" my edits, refine them and upload them as a mod. I never realized anyone would consider it a Mod, or would care about my buildings that give Wargs, Metal, Crystals, Horses... Seems like stuff someone can do for themselves like I did. Then I realized there is quite a bit of untapped mod potential, and maybe my buildings will inspire someone better than me to do the same.

I'm ok with everything except #2.

Only change I personally make is to remove level limits from all items. If I'm powerful enough to defeat something and get an item, I darn sure want to immediately be able to use it. I then use the snaking mod and the bridge mod.

I personally do not like things in the game that makes the game EASIER and all these things you have modded have just DUMBED DOWN the game not improved it. But, that is what modding is for. So that players can create the game EASY as it sounds for themselves.

I would personally tweak the AI to be ruthless and raze anything and everything the player has created.

I would have the AI create alliances with itself and go immediately after the humaan player in an all out grunt rush.

I would create an AI diplomacy much like MOM's where the ai would hardly ever trade with a humaan and most especially never ally with them unless it got an extreme advantage in the trade.

Would they be Henchwomen!? And wear capes?   +1 for Henchwomen!

Well I also don't like things that make the game more complicated for the AI either. More things equals more thought processes even if the ai can do a billion a second. Brad already has enough fixing and working on the ai on his shoulders he doesn't need anymore until he perfects what he has on his plate now.

I'm pretty sure you can do this if you buy SD's expensive Windows UI program (forget what it's called.)  The game's UI uses this program's file extensions.

I think the 2 essence on scrying pools would be WAY too strong.

I am already of the opinion that every faction should eventually gain access to scrying pools....that's how powerful they are. However, I think that only Paradin should gain access to scrying pools right away. All other factions would have to wait until they've reached a certain tech (don't know which one yet...probably Arcane Mastery).

IF this is achieved, then and only then would I think that Paradin receive the 2 essence from the scrying pool, but only when they reach that same tech. Before that tech, they only gain the 1 essence.

I'm no modder, but I would be very grateful if someone were to package this for me.

Basically you can create a generic henchmen, but must redesign pre-generated female henchmen within the design menu. The limitation comes from FE to design generic versions (which I would like to do). If you would like to create customized female henchmen you can go ahead and add them manually through the xml.
