[eMod] Sovereign Customization in LH Modding Elemental Forums

So I have been thinking about possible ways to make sovereigns more unique and differentiated so they play a little more uniquely. IN this mod I have created a bunch of new traits and items for existing and custom sovereigns. Also I have spiced up the existing champion histories by giving them more effects and some unique spells. I don't like a lot of the sovereign items as I think spending points on items you can replace later or pick off the ground is kinda lame. I prefer items and trai

Reply to The problem with fantasy games in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I have always been more of a fan of fantasy worlds with well defined magic system that have rules and limits. If magic gets too powerful it tends to break immersion as people and societies would break down. That's why I like authors such as Brand Sanderson, Robert Jordan, and Modesitt. They actually build worlds that are interesting because the inclusion of magic has changed how people behave but it's still logical and makes sense. In a lot of books magic is so powerful that taken to

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="18" id="3460685"]What I really don't like is the complete lack of depth in tactical battles. No LOS, terrain penalties/bonuses, flanking, morale, "give bonus to adjacent friendly unit" and so on. Stardock have been trying hard to keep the time you spend on battles down to a few minutes at most, and it's hurting because of that. But it doesn't go well with how combat is handled on the strategic level anyway. Fun fights or difficult fights -

Reply to Leader Pack DLC Now Available for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes! in Elemental News Elemental Forums

Kinda disappointed in this DLC. You basically see everything cool in the screenshots and previews. Only Renge, Asha, and Magesta seem unique. Other then that everything else could be created in the sovereign creator, with only the slightest modding by adding an all ready existing item or ability not normally available. I don't even think it has to do with effort or time spent on the DLC I have come to the conclusion that Stardock isn't very good at differentiating factions and

Ya most people aren't aware of how close to science fiction we are getting. So much ridiculous stuff is being worked on in labs right now that will hit mainstream in a decade. Real thought controlled prosthetic arms and eyes are my favorite, although all the recent advances in robotics including the google robotic competition comes close. SpaceX and their reusable rocket also deserves a mention, soon we might start mining asteroids.

I wouldn't use too many mods with this one. I can only recommend mods like BlackMarket Bazaar that simply add content otherwise they might clash. Also now that 1.6 is out I need to get around to updating this.

It seems lot of players are using this thread to air long held grievances. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Here are some of mine: Balance: Trained troops are not balanced with magic or monsters. They scale so much monsters are a joke after boar spears. Some of them have one hit kill spells or super high damage but that just leads to everything becoming a glass cannon late game. Trained troops just scale with larger group sizes and better equipment while monsters and

Reply to [eMod][LH] AI Plus in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Thanks for the feedback Davrovana. I have tweaked a lot of stuff but the two main improvements in this mod are: -Additional unit designs and greater AI emphasis on building more expensive units. As you noticed you can really see how they build tougher units. -Higher AI priority on reducing build times and building construction improvements. If you compare vanilla and this mod you will see that AI cities have many more improvements and upgrades with this mod. T

Ya there are several mechanics you can use to remove end game predictability. You just have to make it so controlling more of the map comes with additional challenges as well as resources. I think LH is actually pretty bad at this. -Unrest scaling with the number of cities you control is the one in the game right now. It's a little too easy to deal with because of prisons and other improvements but it's there. -As others have said good diplomacy where the AIs realize

lol Whoops. I forgot to add the new tiles to the upload. Fixed now. [quote who="GFireflyE" reply="45" id="3449540"]- How are the archery towers destroyed? Can any unit target the tower base? Will you specifically require seige units to destroy these types of structures?[/quote] You target the unit in the tower like any other. Anything can kill them but their high defense and range will make it hard.

Released the first version and switched the thread name. I tried making a catapult tower and got it working but the catapult moves around everywhere when it fires so I probably won't include it.

Reply to [eMod] City Spires in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Burning pitch sounds really cool but I'm worried about the balance. They are already much tougher then city archers and it would be possible to get 3 or 4 of these in a city. They are supposed to help city defenders, not be murder machines. I was thinking of throwing in some variations though and mixing up the town types. Conclaves could get a single mage/flame tower, towns more militia, and for forts I will see if I can put a catapult on a tower.

Reply to [eMod] City Spires in LH Modding Elemental Forums

I have towers use the best bow available. You can do that but you can't have them choose the best size. They are whatever size you set them to be, which sucks because they don't scale. A group of 3 militia is a waste of space late game. On top of better bows towers also have a significant defense bonus and small bonuses to several other stats. A group of 3 guys in a tower makes much more sense then having groups of 3 archers defending cities.

Alright thanks Primal_Savage. I got it working the way I want it! What do you think I should do with this mod? Obviously this is going to go into a mod that changes up City Defenders. I want to make sieges distinct from normal combat. I'm thinking of removing city archers and replacing them with towers. Also I would reduce the number of city militia but do something like Parrotmath's mod where they can upgrade to leather armor. To make it more interesting I could make

Well I tried placing a single tile stamp under the unit but it didn't seem to work for me. I can't think of any other way to stop other units from walking through the tower after it as been killed. I guess I will have to just live with it even if it looks stupid every once and awhile.
