Reply to most useless things in LH in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="16" id="3362822"] I wouldn't even mind it if there was a technology/trait that improved the sale price of items. This might be a good trait for the silver tongue ability, though I'd love to see it as a research item. It's not uncommon for civ games to have technology that improves negotiations with merchants.[/quote] That would be cool too!

Reply to most useless things in LH in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I wish they would expose the buy price/sell price ratio to modding. All it would take is a line in the ElementalDefs.xml file. That way at least those of us that think the 1/5 buy price is ridiculous could change it for ourselves. Truly, that seems like such an obvious thing to put in the ElementalDefs file, I think they must have intentionally NOT put it there just to tick me off!! ;)

[quote who="kryo" reply="4" id="3361489"] BC is great, but just running a compare wouldn't help if the sequences are different. You'd need to actually read the files in to a keyed data structure to eliminate duplicates, and check for orphan references. It should actually be pretty simple to do.[/quote] Yes, merging two large mods would require a lot of work even with BeyondCompare. But there is no better tool that I know of to accomplish the task.

I want to printscreen my ship designs to document them, but whenever I printscreen, even using several different utilities, the actual printscreen is all black. Is there any way to printscreen within the game?

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="33" id="3336044"] Quoting Aerion Istari, reply 32In Custom Planets, give them 3-5 good worlds to start with. Perhaps that would jump start them enough? You'll have to play around with the numbers for balance, of course. That could work, but I'd rather not change their home-systems. That would just go too much against my main objective: staying as close to the lore as possible. Also, my guidelines for the map setting

Have you figured out a way to get these guys to colonize properly? No, but they can work under specific circumstances. They just need enough habitable planets within their influence at the start of the game. If that is the case, they can build up a strong enough base for a military, and eventually conquer all

Reply to How to make wildlands worth opening in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I too have never really liked the Wildlands though I have to concede that I never really understood why until I read the OP. I also think the OP is correct that Wildlands need to provide a different kind of challenge and provide a different reward though I need to ponder that a bit to decide what is appropriate. I tend to like the idea of them being basically unconquerable and providing constant respawns with perhaps some kind of epic quest inside them. &n

There is no doubt that Stardock has done a lot to make Elemental a great game! Thanks to Stardock for that!! We are some of Elemental's (and Stardocks) most loyal and devoted fans!! Please don't lose sight of that!! As for the modder's frustrations, many of us have put a lot of hours into mods. It's frustrating for us trying to make our visions come true within the limitations we have. So, Brad, please forgive us for venting that frustrati

Right now my main complaint with modding (other than those things listed above) is that creating new Quests is painful! The XML is cumbersome to figure out how it works and is flaky even when done correctly. But I realize this would probably be a big fix so I'm not holding my breath.

Reply to beefing up the Governor in FE Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="KingHobbit" reply="17" id="3288833"] The bonuses discussed are great. But the Governor needs to start getting experience for being stationed in a city. Without that it is very difficult to select the Governor option. I do for the growth and unrest bonus, but it is few and far between, or late in the game.[/quote] This ^^^ I end up wishing for my cities to get attacked when they have a governor in them.
