Ok, I understand (at least I think so ;) ) It's not nice to have the spell book crowded with several copies of the same Summon Spell. Then... what about this? In your example (post #32) you have three different levels of summoning: Basic, Expert and Master. Then, instead of having the three sets of spells called the same way, you could include the proficiency in the name, like: - Basic Summon Earth Shrill: Summons an Earth Shrill that has 1 upkeep cost. -&nbsp

But when you reach level 2 the screen with the default paths appear even if you restrict them. Or at least that happened at 0.80. Have not tried to mod it again in 0.90

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="4" id="3357045"] This is a typical issue when you add more traits for unit design. There's not actually anything preventing Ongr from appearing in the trainable units list, EXCEPT he has too many traits to normally appear (max 4).[/quote] Once again you demonstrate you are a True Master [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="Alstein" reply="20" id="3357364"] I think what you could do is make a unique path for each individual champion, though that would take massive work. Would be something nice for a future expansion. Or could be an awesome basegame mod.[/quote] Excuse me, I don't understand how you could do it. Could you elaborate a bit more, please?

It is not about the details of it. It's not about how clever you are in tactical battles. It's not about how precisely you design your units. Those things are modifiers.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that mods, like MP, only boost sales on the margins (that is, anecdotally). Most people who buy FE/LH will play the content that Stardock provides and nothing else. And it's not like the vanilla game doesn't already provide a ton of replayability.[/quote] <

[quote who="abob101" reply="32" id="3356987"] Yeah it's a real bummer, you spend half your time stuffing around trying to figure out ways to workaround things. It's one of those things where the basic stuff is real easy to do with the xml, which is great... but once you want to do something a little bit beyond the framework it gets difficult and in some cases impossible. Oh well. [/quote] I couldn't agree more. Let me say again, that I a

Reply to Stackable summon spells - how to balance it? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Ok, what about this? You have two sets of spells, the full upkeep cost spells and the half upkeep cost spells. You also have two unit stats, called something like CastsAtFullCost and CastsAtHalfCost. The Summoner ability gives the champion 1 point of CastsAtFullCost and the Channeller ability gives 1 point of CastsAtHalfCost and -1 point of CastsAtFullCost. Each spell has two requirements, the ability requirement and the unitstat requirement. Then, you basically have

Reply to This game is a friggin masterpiece in LH Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="38" id="3356916"] Yes, it certainly had the potential to be a masterpiece right when the beta started, but Stardock has just not given it enough time to become so. I do think they are releasing it early.[/quote] I have the same feeling. At the start of the beta I was very positively impressed, but this impression has gradually fallen down during the process.

Reply to Stackable summon spells - how to balance it? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Perhaps I am missing something, so excuse me if what I say makes no sense, but... Have you tried calculating the upkeep cost? So instead of giving back the resource you directly take away a smaller quantity of the resource.

[quote who="tjashen" reply="3" id="3356833"] Looking at where the game is now, I can only imagine how cool E:WOM would have been with the current engine and some balancing/tweaking (but not flat out changes). Maybe if I win the lottery or something... So, in my assessment, I think it's time to accept what we can't change, as release is upon us, and start the ideas/suggestions discussion for the next version in a fresh setting. All the while expecting Stardo

Very well written and detailed post kvm1800. I agree with most of what you say, and specially with the feeling that too many efforts have been spent in reinventing the wheel. Yes, that was not the perfect wheel, but there was no need to reinvent it either, specially when other parts of the game where (are) in a lot more need of attention, and there was no need to substitute the old wheel by a new half baked wheel which is again a non-perfect wheel and IMHO an even worse wheel that the one it

Yes, I just got temporally confused anf wrote about the "shared" thing. The only difference between your resource and mine is the . Based on my experiences I don't think that what you see in cities is the resource contributed by that city. It is the whole quantity, because that's the way A_ADDITIVE works. It's a minor nuissance, but I think it's worth it.

Only minor bummer being that when you hover over the resource at the top of screen it shows the bonus to the Summons Capacity is coming from the city name rather than "units".... presumably because of the way the way the A_Additive thing works. Not a huge drama though... that's pretty cool and will run with that for now, as I think it seems best to have the limi
