Reply to Kael & Frogboy - Scripting Support in Elemental? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="MattSan" reply="21" id="2804410"]Since Elemental is going with Python and not Lua, I would ask whether the devs are going to consider all the work Google is doing with the Unladen Swallow Project. We all know how slow FFH can be on huge maps with all that Python code in Civ IV. Would be nice to use the latest and greatest version of Python to get the best possible speeds for large mods. Reading up on the Python forums it seems that Unladen Swallow in fact mi

Reply to [Idea / Discussion] Monster Lairs in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Good ideas for encounters, though lairs should use the same mechanics as battles during a quest; therefore it is special encounters in general that need work. After all, at its heart a lair is a quest location that spawns monsters near it till the "quest" is completed (typically by clearing the lair out). Beyond that the only things that might go into the creation of a lair that a quest might not is ways to scale up the encounter / reward (if any) as the lair grows stronger (caused by global

[quote who="SeanenG" reply="12" id="2799956"]Is this /not/ implemented? I've seen bandit camps, spider's lairs, and ogre dens in the game, which spawned one or two roaming units of that type and had a 'leader' unit of that type on the tile itself. But the only place I can say for certain that I've seen them is in the campaign mode, so they might not be randomly placed in the map generator?[/quote] As I stated, it *can* be done, but it is not possible to have them randomly placed and e

Reply to What about variable teleport cost? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The single best thing that can be done to balance teleporting is to make it so it will be the only action taken that turn (require full move and reduces remaining move to zero), so that it can be countered. After that it is a matter of making it more fair against the AI by having at least the upper level AI use it when it is clearly a good idea and balancing the cost against any limitation imposed on the method of teleportation (more limited in usefulness = less cost).

[/quote] I would say when you reach a lair, it should be handled like a quest destination to avoid redundancy. However, quest locations need to be allowed to specify things like 'heroes only', 'limit to N people (with special units like dragons counting for more)', ect for who may participate in the enounter.

[quote who="tjashen" reply="5" id="2798059"]If this were implemented, I'd suggest that there would be special lair battle maps, in place of the plethora of battle maps we have now. A single lair map would be easiest, but perhaps clearing a lair would involve two or three maps? I.e. Lair Entrance, Main Lair, Throne Room/Queen's Chamber. If multiple maps were involved, a player could 'turn back/retreat off of' any given map and give up on clearing the lair, but of course the po
