Since the tower unit is not to be moved you could try and set up a constant effect that is cast at the beginning of the turn that does something upon the death of the tower. You could at that point decorate the tile with destruction or try and remove the tile altogether.

[quote who="Matchbook" reply="6" id="3446850"] Technology to do things for us we can - and perhaps ought to be doing - do for ourselves. Astonishing, really. At a glance, all of this stuff seems reasonable. Maybe a shoe that auto-ties itself. Trousers that auto-zip. Pens that write as you speak (exists on the computer, of course). Chips in the brain and eyes, to allow us Google searches right inside our heads, with merely a glance. Toilets that examine stool and check for vitamin defici

I wouldn't mind seeing a planetary invasion take multiple turns. First it would be more reasonable for conquering. It would allow allies or your civilization to counter invasions within their troop transports. But this might lead to a population system that identifies the military strength (armed citizens / military personnel) on the planet, so when one invades with 250 million troops on a planet with 3 billion people, not everybody is a soldier, and so the 3 billion people might have a m

A battle against gods will be cool, but it requires a lot of special effects for it to be cool. Also, the focuse is that you are not trying to kill each other, you are trying to control the world. By destroying it... The land starts peacefully, and you build your station of life here, they build their station of death there. As you expand you encounter the chance and opportunity to destroy their world around them. Building volcanoes, launching blizzards, rending the earth to your will

Why is spamming henchmen a severe advantage over other factions? The Trogs can spam Juggernauts just as easily, Quendar can severely spam slave militia, Amarians can create arcane monoliths anywhere, then teleport their units into a sneak attack anywhere on the map, Wraiths can spam bound elementals, Tarth can spam some impressive bowmen, Mancers can build roads to their enemies or their own demise, Gilden can spam iron golems, Krax can take any city on the map for a fee and build som

Reply to 1.5 Betrayers still works on a city that is "immune to magic" in LH Support Elemental Forums

Given the nature of the "spell" I think it is working as intended, as it is not a spell but a spell-like ability. (but you are right we have no real way of knowing, until they say something, one way or the other). The deeper problem is whether that is the only spell that can be cast upon an immune city or is there legitimately a bug going on with other curses as well. That would determine if the appropriate tag is in place to prevent the spell from taking effect on such a city.

I wouldn't necessarily say it is overpowered, because I've not been as successful in taming all the beasts needed to continue my epic journey. There is a large element of luck and in a game, luck can be circumvented. Should it be impossible to tame a beast higher level than you? I wouldn't say no. Should you be unable to tame beasts more powerful than you? no. Removing the ability to tame beasts like above removes an element of fun for a portion of people,

Must be hardcoded, but search around and see if a particular tag forces the race to not show up in the faction creator.

Reply to Modding questions/help thread in LH Modding GalCiv3 Forums

The number of allegiances is hardcoded. The allegiance either Kingdom or Empire, and that determines whether you use life or death shards (and a few other prerequisite items, but falls among those lines). You can change environment spread and that will switch whether you get life shard or death shards, so it is appropriate that kingdom spread grassland, and empire spread deadlands. If they include more environments than the 3 they currently have, it is conceivable to create a more unique look

Are we planning on playing this game for a decade before we conclude who is the winner? How big would be too big? Don't misunderstand this comment, I support large maps and I consistently play large maps on other games, but just curious what time frame of game-play is needed to finish a game that has 1200 systems? I am up for playing a game for 90-120 hours straight to conclusion, but much beyond that I think it would become monotonous.
