Reply to Anybody ever notice that you can't disable "Conquest" as a victory condition? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="kryo" reply="1" id="3394761"] If you kill off all the opponents, there's nobody left to lose to. And if they kill you, then it doesn't really matter what the victory conditions were--you won't exactly be in a position to achieve them [/quote] Well, some people play the game not necessarily to win or lose, but to have fun. Why should it matter if there's no one to lose to?

You could try getting a surge protector that cleans the power. I'm guessing the cables for that creative system aren't all that great? Even if they are sometimes, it doesn't matter. Try something like this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PRO800/ I have the rackmount version, and it works great. They can be expensive, but if you want the noise removed (if the nois

Reply to Dear Stardock, Will I Finally Get Modding Sanity With LH? Regards, MQPiffle. in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I've stopped modding altogether, mainly because of the frustration of modding. Nothing really got fixed since WoM modding wise, and it's just too damn frustrating to mod for. In fact, it kind of killed my desire to play the game a little bit, which is a shame because FE is way better than WoM.

Android has some issues of its own (like only playing MP4s, not AVI or DIVX formats). Are you sure about this? I'm fairly certain Android can play more than MP4s. This is the first video player that came up in a quick google search https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freevideoplayer.cogsoul.full&hl=en </p

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="64" id="3319379"]Hey Impinc I have been using your awesome editor lately and one thing that would be really handy to have is the ability to combine or create artdef files for multiple races at once, so you end up with only one clothes file for example instead of one for every custom race you create.

HF: I'm working on the faction creator part of my editor, and wondered if you could update the abilities for your factions. For faction traits, I need some way to read them in. In the core files, I search for the AbilityBonusType of Player. This won't work in the Stormworld case, becasue none of them have that tag. Would you perhaps mind adding a tag, so that I can scan for it? Something like Faction</ModAbility&

Reply to I Despise Empire Environment in FE Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="36" id="3279906"]Without getting into the "Bland" debate, the reason the environments are limited has to do with the texture limitations on the video cards we required WOM to run on. In the future, we will likely up the hardware requirements in future expansions/follow-ups to allow us to give each race their own unique environments. The minute we drop support for 32-bit versions of Windows, a lot of things change.[/quote]

[quote who="Darkranger85" reply="55" id="3278065"]What do you do for starting units?[/quote] Select them. StartingUnits is kind of misleading. They are all the pre-designed units that show up in the tech tree, and in the train menu (except for AI units). It's probably best to just select all the units of the race you're basing off (so let's say you choose altar to copy from, select all the units with Altarian in the internal name.). On

However when I create the faction and I get into the game the Juggernaut technology is not showing up in the Tech tree. How does one add the unique units to a faction like Henchmen, Iron Golems , Juggernauts, and Slaves? And can you combine the units in a faction, like having a faction that can train Hench
