Thanks for the feedback Wauthan. [quote who="Wauthan" reply="68" id="3391904"]Balance is a bit off, naturally, since power leveling towards a strong summoned unit makes for a very expansive early game.[/quote] If you have any specific examples of summons or strategies that are obviously over power compared would like to hear them, as i'm all for some subtle tweaks now to try and make sure nothing stands out as being too over the top.

[quote who="Fallenchar" reply="2" id="3391717"]Create a custom Sovereign and Faction with traits you have never used before.[/quote] I like that idea. Not so much a "limitation", but another way to more challenge without necessarily increasing the difficulty might be to play with the teams thing in the setup. I've never tried it but I believe you can setup teams, so try taking on 3 AI's that are teamed together from the start or something similar.<

Updated to v0.3 (compatible with LH 1.3). Bit of a shame I had to cut the casting time for strategic summons, however in the end I feel the cooldown that it used now is much more streamlined. It also means that the familiar should be able to use all the summons now (previously some were bugged). This release is mostly balance stuff. I'm now working on added new spellbooks. Here's the changelog: &n

Reply to Suggestions for intersting/fun self-limitations? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I always take the first generated location, some people might see that as a limitation I guess. Not that i've tried it but what about giving the AI a 10 turn head start? Just click next turn 10 times in a row or similar before founding your first city. Just thinking that because from what i've seen the AI is not quite as quick of the mark as a human player.

Reply to Please consider changing/updating the summoner path in 1.4. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Borg999 - my mod Demons and Wizards does pretty much all of the stuff you've mentioned here. So yeah I agree with you, I didn't like the current Mage path at all. Obviously i'm biased but I think the new Mage path and new Summoner path in my mod are way more fun than the default Mage path.

[quote]1) How can i check whether or not the Quest Pack DLC is active in my current game?[/quote] I think quite a few of the quests in the quest back are events. If you get the Pillar of Grazna or the Boar for example (can't remmebr his name) I believe they are only in the quest pack. They turn up quite a bit... you're bound to see one of them after a few games.

[quote who="Fallenchar" reply="4" id="3390992"]Best example is an Archer Assasin.

To turn off Steam Cloud for LH: 1) Start Steam, click on Library 2) Left hand side where your games are listed, right click on FE: LH, click Properties 3) Under Updates tab, untick the Enable Steam CLoud checkbox I suggest you also try and "Verify Integrity of Game Cache".

Yes good spot thanks. (edited my post). I could have sworn i've seen Crow Demons use that against me in the past.... however with me recent testing I can't get them to do it. I'm starting to wonder if the AI has problems with spells that target an empty tile.

Reply to [1.3B] AI Not Using Tactical Summons? in LH Support Elemental Forums

I've been tested a heap of abilities/spells and it looks to me like the AI struggles with a few other abilities too. I'd be interested to know if anyone has seen the AI use Lightning Form or Thunder Strike either, because I can't seem to get the AI to use them. Edit -> Fixed typo.

Reply to [1.3B] AI Not Using Tactical Summons? in LH Support Elemental Forums

Good post, was starting to wonder if it was just me. I've been doing a bunch of testing on this last few days working on my mod... and i've also not seen the AI use a tactical summons. I just created a test case... created some units that have no attack whatsoever... but have the DemonicAlly ability (summon assassin demon).... went into battle again 6 of them... and they all just stand there. I tried increasing the AIPriority up to 7000 and still nothing. T

Reply to Changing Spell Prerequisites in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Changing SpellDef's is a bit painful.

This is how I block Gift of Iron (which I believe works): <SpellDef InternalName

Flying in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Hi all, Couple of things... I've just been looking at the Flying ability... I see that removes the movement penalty for forest, hills etc. What I find strange is that only the Air Elemental, Crow Demon and Banshee actually have the Fly ability. Dragons don't have this Flying ability so presumably suffer movement penalties etc. I don't see why they shouldn't have this ability? Or am I missing something? Seems only the

Reply to [eMOD] Demons and Wizards (Updated for 1.8) in LH Modding Elemental Forums

BTW guys i've tested option 5 mentioned above.... it worked pretty well. Except the way I implemented it I had problem the problem that once you cast a spell and the summoner cooldown kicked in.... all the summon spells would be hidden from the spellbook AND from the path screen (when you hover over a spellbook). That was really annoying me. Other than that it worked perfectly... and was rather cool. But I just don't like the fact that while you're waiting

Good spot DsRaider. Derek - this seems to only be a problem for certain summons, possibly something to do with the Radius maybe. 2 examples where the particle doesn't show are Summon Shadow Warg and Summon Ice Elemental. Would be great if this could be looked at.
