Do this effect with a quest that spawns by turn number. As long as you have a city placed the turn number trigger will be able to spawn a quest (What I mean here is that if you set the trigger for turn 1 and you don't have a city, it will not trigger. It needs the capital city in order to trigger for the turn based event). From the quest you can implement the treasure that you want to create, which is your resource horde for your lizard.

basius, that's XML from Children of Storm and I specifically had to drop it because StartPositionHasResource is no longer functional in FE:LH. What parrottmath suggests is a good idea, however I went with a different route to work around this. Since a starting position world resource, to me, indicates a guaranteed building, I simply dropped the requirement of the world resource. Now you can build the required building as a one-off immediately when you have the research required.

There is a difference in mechanics though. Now the world resource can't be used by an enemy if/when they capture the town. For me that was a bonus, because in the Children of Storm mod the Lizardmen would likely smash the dragon eggs if their last town was sacked, meaning noone should have access to the building.

oh, bad news, StartPositionHasResource is no longer functional in FE:LH.

and then may i have another way to create a new resource horde on the map?

i searched out one of your reply in the post "Creating resources using a spell", you said that:

            <GameModifier>
                <ModType>Map</ModType>
                <Attribute>CreateResourceHoard</Attribute>
                <StrVal>Wild_Wildings</StrVal>
                <Value>1</Value>
            </GameModifier>


is this method effective in FE:LH?

or you can give me a better way to implement?

thank you

That XML should work in a spell.
